After S2's voting, and after my overly-serious takes on primaries and Japan which turned out to be wrong, I knew I'd got something wrong. What do we really want, I pondered, from the CBR? Well, let's face it.
We're here to enjoy a cast of 61 historical figures beating the crap out of each other with digitised spears and tanks, aren't we? Do the specifics of mod quality for each one really matter, when all we're seeing is the very outer edges of the code? Ee ja nai ka! ('Oh whatever, let's have fun!')
Hence, my contribution to campaigning this time around is gonna look rather different. The Ee ja nai ka guide to voting isn't supposed to be detailed. If I can't convince people to support a civ in one shortish sentence, I'm not gonna mention it. Sorry, I just can't get excited about The Phallocephalians or whoever, whatever their uniques are. Of course, if you know a lot more than me about any obscure civ and know they're actually historically kinda cool, then go ahead and campaign for them! I might change my mind! Likewise, I'm writing these roughly in the order that I think I'd vote for them, but go ahead and rank them completely differently if you want. It's CBR. There is no right answer.
Without further ado!
WEEK 1 (VOTE NOW!)
North Sea. The Faroe Islands are literally the Sheep Islands but are also so badass that their leader is shown knee-deep in whale guts. Alba has a very cool double purple colour scheme. The Isles are worth a look for any fellow fans of obscure outlying bits of Britain that want a chance to get even.
British Isles South. Mick Collins kicked the Brits out of most of Ireland and can make pubs appear everywhere. Pitt the Younger, Toryness notwithstanding, represents the time when scheming British prime ministers painted half the world pink. Tyrone gives you all the Norn Iron memes plus it's in EU4. Wessex is the cooler in every way version of the Anglo-Saxons.
France. Belgium because it's fucking Belgium and who wouldn't want to see them suddenly go mental in a BR. Robespierre because we already know what happens when he goes mental. Switzerland see Belgium. Anglo-Dutch cause he took over England just by waltzing into it at the right time pretty much, and also cause we still haven't had any Dutchies in Europe for some reason.
Iberia. Asturias or Leon for lesser known bits of Spain that don't usual
... keep reading on reddit ➡I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
I guess the concept didn't work
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC
r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes
Punchline !
Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub
Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
Do your worst!
How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
And now I’m cannelloni
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
But that’s comparing apples to oranges
And boy are my arms legs.
Put it on my bill
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
Calcium, nickel, neon
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.
The bartender says, "Sorry, no minors”
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
At work, I have a workstation.
