How do you get sprinting to augment jumping? It's always the same jump distance for me.
Back up, then run forward a ways to get your speed up, then when you try to jump, you should have a long cone where you can jump to.

Three nations are at war with each other. One nation sent their goons to attack citizens of one of these nations. I was a victim. :(

It might also be easily missed that you have to hit Shift-S to change your gait, then you select sprint.  Down neat the bottom the game will tell you your speed and the max possible speed of your gait if yer not already at it, after moving in a straight line for a few turns you will be going max speed for the gait and when you hit j instead of a square around you your possible jumps will be a bigger cone out in front of you.

You may not need to be going at the max sprint speed, but you need to be going at a good clip or you will just keep getting the normal square.   Also the faster yer going the longer yer jump option is.

Also the speed has to be above 2, or at least that's the value I've seen while casually testing it.

Went to a maintenance shaft to grab a gas mask so I could conceal my identity while I start murdering people with a double-bladed energy sword. It just so happened that the maintenance shaft I went to also had a guy with an energy sword in it.

I've found I sometimes hit escape rather then enter, and then go around thinking that I'm running when I'm actually just walking.

You sure do find people willing to murder on sight a lot.
I often find the most fun moments to be the ones where you might at first expect a fight but then you just have a conversation with your would-be assailant instead. They tend to be pretty good conversations most of the time.

My favorite spacestation 13 moment was on the old bay12 server, back on the luna. long story short, my sec officer (I'm HoS) wanted to tlak in private, so we do, and after him asking if armour really helps and me saying not as much as i'd like, feel free to go without, he pulls a revolver and shots me point blank, every bullet. EVERY BULLET is absorbed by my armour, leaving me laughing as he flees. the conversations was long, and fun, and he coulda tried to kill my any time but it was nice.

As for my own deaths, not last death, but recent: lost out in the dominions 4.06 game. first online game, was fun!

I've been trying out that game, Ascendant, lately.

I have never been angrier about spikes or people that explode in my entire life, I think.

Tried to climb a ladder to the lower decks of Ark 7. It turns out that the Romulans are in control of the lower decks. Kirk is vaporized with a silly "Aiiieee!" dialogue box.

CKII's casus belli system is very rigid.  It isn't . . . wrong per se, just the ideal that may or may not be the real.  I feel like it has been balanced for gameplay, not realism.
