Chincha Rafts

These seem absolutely insane. Was just in a game where my Portuguese ally went water, and got absolutely and unrelentingly steamrolled by a handful of chincha rafts. It seemed there was very little that could be done about them, and looking at their stats... they are absolutely wild.

https://ageofempires.fandom.com/wiki/Chincha_Raft

They are available in Age II, can gather from fish/whales, and double as a warship... OK, except they also have as much attack as a Frigate for about a third of the cost, and almost as much siege range as a monitor.

They took my Portuguese ally completely off the water, and then proceeded to destroy everything even remotely coastal. They stood up decently to culverins, and wrecked all of our coastal defense buildings.

Has anyone else been completely chincha stomped? How do you counter this?

Poem by Enewetak children, (descendants of subjects of Atomic weapon tests by USA in Marshall islands), singing they are not afraid, even of nuclear war.

Enewetak... you are my paradise
Standing in the cool breeze
Make me dream at night
Ocean and Lagoon wide, all ocean
This is my country
This is my land
Gone are the days when
We live in fear
Fear of the bombs, guns and nuclear
Though we are school kids
In time we will be
Parents and leaders, of our country
So let's work together, holding hands
This is my country
This is my land
Enewetak... my island... I love you
Enewetak... my island... I love you

These lines are from the mini documentary "The Plutonium Dome (Runit Dome)" by Sea Gypsies.
https://youtu.be/0kbw7fpG9dA
In their words,
"In the middle of the pacific ocean, the sailing ship Infinity and her ragtag crew stumble upon the Runit Dome and one of the most dangerous islands on earth. Enewetak Atoll, the birthplace of the hydrogen bomb, this tiny atoll absorbed the nuclear equivalent of 1.5 Hiroshima bombs a day for 12 years. That legacy waits near the beach, in a giant unguarded crumbling concrete dome."

The Runit Dome is deteriorating and could be breached by a typhoon, though the sediments in the lagoon are even more radioactive than those which are contained.

(Spoilers Extended) Will war come to Dorne, the Iron Islands and the Vale ?

Of all the regions of Westeros only these three kingdoms have been spared from the fights and devastations brought by war so far in the present story, with no battle of the War of the Five Kings or any civil war having taken place in their lands so far, the Vale and Dorne because of Lysa Arryn and Doran Martell having kept their armies inside their borders, while no enemy fleet has come into conflict with the Iron Fleet yet, and that there is no invasion fleet ready to land an army on the Iron Islands for now.

But for how long can these kingdoms be spared from suffering bloodshed and destruction ? Will this continue or will war eventually come to them during TWOW or ADOS ?

If the latter then who will come to try to invade these kingdoms ? How much destruction and many casualties the Iron Islands, the Vale and Dorne suffer in case of war coming to them ?

[PC][2003-2007?] Giant blue robot in a war battle on a island

Hello everyone,

I am desperately looking for the name of an old game that must date from 15-20 years ago on PC.Description of what I remember from the games:

- We are a giant blue robot that can fly or walk that looks a bit like a spider when walking

- It's a war game, we are in an army and we have to fight a kind of red alien army

- There are several missions, but each mission takes place on an island

- At the beginning of each mission, we fly with our army towards the island, and the enemies the same but on the other side

- There are giant robots, but also small soldiers sent to the island

- Each mission has a specific objective, for example destroying an enemy base

Thanks

Why Does China Want to Make War All Over One Tiny Island?

Note to Mods: I read your rules and I don't think I am breaking them. Please just delete this post but don't permanent ban me.

There will be no winners in this war. The risks are very high and the reward is just one small island. I don't get it. Besides, China and USA are trading partners and used to be friends. Why does China want war? I also must point out that China has been peaceful and hasn't fought a war in over 70 years. Someone set me straight here.

Edit 1. Thank you to all my fellow Redditors. This is an excellent discussion and it will take me few days to digest it all. Let's say that I was educated. I pray that this conflict can be resolved peacefully.

Edit 2: Some Redditors have accused me of lying. I may have been misinformed, ignorant or just plain wrong, but I wasn't lying. Besides accusing me of lying is not very nice.

Note to Mods: I didn't mean to blow up your community, but there are a lot of good ideas here.

[PC][2000s?] Survival Horror Game where you play as a girl stuck on an island with Monster War Machines that want to kill you

I've been looking for this horror game for like 2 years now because I saw someone play it in a Youtube video but I forgot the name of it and can't find the video again

From what I can remember the plot of the game is that you crash land on an island with a group of people (or students???) that used to be a battleground for some kind of war and there are broken war machines across the island like Tanks, War Planes, etc. but they are alive and evolved into monsters with some kind of black goo or substance and you have to escape the island

The game looks like it was made in RPG maker because of how "crusty" it looked so it may be one and it has the same gameplay perspective (top down camera) I'm almost certain it is an RPG maker game because of its pixelated artstyle

At one point in the game (somewhere early in the first hour or so) there is a chase sequence where you get chased by a war plane that has legs like a spider and you have to run away from it by dodging debris or else you'll get sliced up by its propeller

There is also a segment where you go into an underground bunker of sorts and the machine in there is like a sentient iron maiden type of monster that you can't get close to or else it will kill you instantly

My memories are very vague so some details may be slightly wrong but I can't find any other game that fits this description at all so take that as you will
I also don't know the exact year period it was made which sucks
