It crossed my mind whether these cars have already been programmed whom to kill if they face a moral dilemma.For example, the car is about to hit another car with three people inside. It can swerve out of the way, but then it'll hit thr...

ادامه مطلبFiraxis and 2K have continued their unveiling of the various playable civilizations in the upcoming Civilization VI, and the latest to get the spotlight is Spain.Led by Philip II, Spain players will want to focus on spreading religion and expanding to other continents.

Spanish ships can be combined with one another to create fleets sooner than those of other civs, providing a way to ensure those waterbound trade ships stay protected.

ادامه مطلبThere are plenty of things in my house that I yell at. Some of them answer back these days, though, and even do what I ask.
