It’s still on and will close at the end of the month. But yes I’m very annoyed that they didn’t share much of the instance outside a small notification on the admin.ch website. But the goal of this whole pilot test is that if Mastodon became big within the year, they would already have an instance running with officials accounts. But instead I guess they will focus on Bluesky.

Also noted :

• Navigable rivers
• terrain has cliffs
• armies seems to be condensed, with generals leading them. Fighting looks to be constant in some way? (or that’s just the render for the trailer)
• cities seem to expand much more
• the leaders looks to have some stats which can be improved

Literally how I play chess, can’t be bothered to do math and just doing gut feeling… I think we need an full rules revamp for chess!

I thought this was going be a more technical oriented video about what I’d sound like with the performance of the sound chip and the speaker, and the cartridge memory size limitation, bit sad it isn’t :(
