    Which artists are you referring to?

    I was thinking about Bob Dylan, Joan Baez  Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie... Like mentioned here: https://www.si.edu/spotlight/american-folk-music/politics-and-american-folk-music

    However, https://www.gilderlehrman.org/history-resources/essays/sixties-and-protest-music paints a broader picture, including rock, motown and other styles.

    Hip-Hop music is just a perversion of rap music, which died together with Tupac Shakur.

    EDIT: To clarify, rap was becoming too socio-political

    I don't know whether you consider Sugarhill Gang Rap or Hip Hop, but as far as I'm aware their Rapper's Delight was the first hit from that corner; and I wouldn't consider that song overly socio-political. So I wouldn't agree with that simple timeline.

    Can you maybe give an example which you consider succesfull in expressing activism through the musical-aesthetic framework ?

    How about folk rock in the anti-war movement in the US?

    I am not free to say McDonald's is a top class full of nutrients meal.

    You are free to say that. Though that notion wouldn't find much support.

    What tech do you do last would maybe be more interesting to know.

    I usually build twin towers and man them, then get the extra arrow pretty early. Murder holes is next, then the extra reach when I can spare the metal. All depending who I am and what my situation is; sometimes, when there's no traffic at my borders (or I'm iber), I never build or upgrade stone towers myself and just do it later when I captured something. I hardly ever get the other two tecs, if I do it's extra arrow per garrison before (if ever) the extra health.

    They're usually easier to safely evacuate though.

    (you need like, 3 times as many women on food than on wood)

    While it is true that I (generally) have more women on food than people on wood, it's not by that margin and due to a. a lot of food going in tec upgrades and b. champ cav costing 1.5-2 x the food (that's what I'm mostly producing late game).

    Has the staff considered ways to monetize the game?
    As for example google adsense in the game and in the site / forum ... add avatars and customization option, free and premiuns?

    I wanted to make an April Fools' joke here, but apart from adding words like microtransactions and NFTs I don't think I can really top that comment.

    Was just about to open an issue on Gitea for you when reading that the team bonus is for allies only and the specific tech includes neutral competitors as well.

    So researching the specific tec does give the player a bonus - Silk Road is still utter shite. First of all, unlike all other team bonuses the player does not profit from it themself; second, the bonus from the spec tec is so minuscule that the game would need to last for hours to pay off.

    The "20% bonus" is a bonus only of the bonus. So I paid 1,000 res for - in this case - 2 extra res per trip. Who would argue that that's a good deal?

    (And I don't care about neutral competitors; don't know if anybody does.)
