Honestly from the get go i was hoping both of them would lose but it seems that isnt the case with AI at least
Exactly, those who make the decisions to send soldiers to war should be sent to fight themselves, if not gun in hand at least as front line commanders or something so they feel the same danger and see the same horrors as the human fodder they so happily throw at their "enemies"
Former armed forces minister James Heappey wrote that many government departments had declined to practice evacuating to a bunker.

>On the bunker drill, the former minister said that all secretaries of state - not just defence - have a desk and a bed ready for them in a bunker.
>This is not so they are able to survive a nuclear attack "for re-populating our islands after the apocalypse" but "because their departments are as integral to the war effort as the MoD".
Because it's precisely these politicians who should be repopulating after a potential apocalypse /s
Alternate title: "Former military guy can only think about conflict and makes war mongering comments to scare politicians and population"
I mean I personally prefer not too difficult of a challenge, as I don't have all that much time to play games. But another really cool thing I like about OpenTTD is the fact that you can choose what kind of AI opponents to play against, from a big pool of community created AI's, which can allow for really difficult challenges sometimes. Like if the AI builds fast, with all the different vehicles available and you don't allow yourself to buy them out, it can get really difficult, and you can make the game as fun as you want it to be
Transport Tycoon Deluxe was amazing, as a kid it took me so long to understand how the game worked (being from a non-English speaking country it was mostly trial and error) but once i understood i spent hours on it every day. I still remember the excitement of completing my first campaign, and getting the pop-up message in 2050 that I won the game, such a wonderful feeling.
There is an open source remake of it called OpenTTD available on steam, which is the same game with quality of life improvements, better graphics (as far as pixel style games go), and lots of customizability options that I still play to this day, it still is one of my favourite games of all time
I love Stremio + Torrentio, it has everything and looks good visually
