Every single time I'm fighting as a nomad, I carefully divide my armies to siege provinces without going over the supply limit. Then my vassal clans pile 8000 men into a 2000 supply province and I just ask "Why."

I have many problems with this map, notwithstanding the fact that dozens upon dozens of tribal groups are combined into monolithic nations.

Nations that Ought not to Exist:

As /u/PastelFlamingo150 said, why do the Olmec still exist?

In a particularly glaring example, the Comanche didn't emerge as a people until they acquired horses in the 17th century, and so ought not to exist at all.

The Anasazi vanished in the 12th century, so I'm not sure what they're doing here.

European-Driven Migrations

The Cheyenne lived in Minnesota when the Europeans arrived, and only moved west when forced by tribes with firearms.

In a similar error, the Crow lived by Lake Erie and only moved west when better-armed neighbors forced them to do so.

Location Errors:

Why do the Chickasaw live in Texas, when their historic land was in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama?

Why are the Creek in Florida when they lived along rivers in Alabama and Georgia?

Why are the Beothuk given a portion of the mainland when they exclusively lived in Newfoundland?

Why have the Objibwe moved from Sault St. Marie and Lake Superior to the Chicago area?

Why have the Mahicans moved from upstate New York and western Massachusetts to Maine?

The Dogrib live north of Great Slave Lake, not south of Lake Athabasca.

Just like the Dogrib, the Slavey have been moved from their home around Great Slave Lake to south of Lake Athabasca.

Other Error

The Flatheads and the Salish are the same. "Flathead" was the original European name for them, while Salish is what they call themselves.

Edit: I have been informed that this map was made for /r/imaginarymaps, so keep that in mind. I may have been a bit harsh, as I assumed it was a serious historical attempt at what an uncolonized North America would look like.

  1. People do all the time.
  2. Why bring it up on this post?
  3. There was never a massacre on this scale. The worse (in terms of numbers) was Wounded Knee, with ~200 killed by US soldiers.

I can speak to the Rome II reception. It was very, very buggy and poorly optimized at launch, and that really colored people's perceptions of it. Now, after 1 year of time and a ton of patches and stuff the game is in a very good state, but people still remember when it was really bad. CA really should've released it a couple months later.

Honestly, this argument isn't getting either of us anywhere. Let's just stop here.

And I will admit that the 2 shields do look very similar.

If you think Paladins is a rip-off of Overwatch for copying a shield mechanic (which has appeared in games galore), then I don't see how you can argue that Torbjorn is a rip-off of tf2.

Really? Both characters are short engineers who construct incredibly similar turrets. In what other games does someone:

-Construct a turret and upgrade it by hitting it with a melee weapon

-Use a resource called "scrap" to upgrade, with a max pool of 200

-Both have 3 turret levels, the second of which adds a second gun barrel, and the third adds rockets. (So yes, the engineer can do that)

Just because some other stuff is added on doesn't mean he isn't TF2 engineer.

But the TF2 engineer is a short human who builds turrets (so is Torbjorn), upgrades them by hitting them with something (so does Torbjorn) consuming scrap in the process, of which you can carry a max of 200 (as does Torbjorn).
