The THRONEroom v. the Doge on his box
« on: February 27, 2023, 01:40:47 AM »
It just aggravates me.


THIS is what I like:




Not necessarily this final runway carpet to the throne - not necessarily the checkerboard floor over the previous rich shag carpet.  But this, basically.  A proper throne on a dais, a crown tapestry behind.  It's good.






But NOOOO.  The game has to go on from there, taking away the tapestry, the good throne, and replace them with effete renaissance junk.




Who, I ask you, WHO never wanted to be King Arthur, but DOES want to be the Doge of Venice sitting on a box instead?  Atlas and the tribute/treasure is okay, but gimme back my proper throne on a dais and royal curtain; away with your silly cloth crown!





Thoughts?

-And the game FORCES you to participate in the destruction of what is good for what is busy and off-putting.

There are two kinds of scientific progress, the methodical experimentation and categorization, which gradually extend the boundaries of knowledge, and the revolutionary leap of genius which redefines and transcends those boundaries. Acknowledging our debt to the former, we yearn, nonetheless, for the latter.
~Academician Prokhor Zakharov
