Currently, the game turns into a visual mess halfway through the exploration age, and it needs these reforestation and green-space improvements to clean up the clutter. 010

Ryan Mallady @ryanmallady.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Tried the new Civ 7 Babylon this weekend. Typically love my Mesopotamian civs, but it's weird to play a cradle of civilization civ that's so weak in antiquity. The early city growth is nice, but the settlement cap is so onerous it feels like it takes until exploration age to finally get going. 100

![Niyazov became a substitute for the vacuum left by the downfall of the communist system, with his image replacing those of Marx and Lenin. During his rule, Niyazov created a strong cult of personality around himself, which resembled the one around the Kim dynasty in North Korea and the Gaddafi regime in Libya. He renamed the town of Jaňga and city of Krasnovodsk after his nickname Türkmenbaşy, and renamed schools, airports,[72] Ashgabat streets, and even a meteorite after himself and members of his family. The city of Kerki was renamed for his father, and city of Ýylanly for his mother. The doting actions of the official Turkmen media supported his cult of personality. The government renamed the months and most days of the week after symbols Niyazov wrote about. The national anthem of Turkmenistan referred to him. According to the newspaper Neytralny Turkmenistan physicians were ordered to swear an oath to the President, replacing the Hippocratic Oath.[64]
Statues and portraits of him were put everywhere throughout the country. In Ashgabat, he erected a rotating, $12 million, golden statue of himself that always faces the sun.[73][74][75] Niyazov gave every citizen a watch with his portrait in its dial.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kqqqm4rtbbwi4pnoptlgxqoe/bafkreigb2bs63eji6hhjrualhwhnpe3kcqymi7iqw57brpb73uhx2ku2s4)
