Clickbait titlar är en pest&plåga. För de överdriver rejält Napoleons roll jämfört med de preussiska officersskolorna.
Håller med, men titeln bygger på att de sociala effekter som Napoleon hadde ledde till utvecklingen av det spel som i praktiken är grunden för majoriteten av alla moderna krigsspel på ett eller annat sätt. Samt att den började som något som skulle släppas till när Napoleon filmen var färsk, och sedan bara blev större (plus problem i skaparens liv) vilket ledde till att den kom ut noterbart efter filmen.

Bi/Polyfasisk eller segmenterad sömn tycks ha varit normen innan industriella revolutionen, vilket torde översätta till att de flesta fantasy-rollspel med avstamp i ~"medeltiden" och eftersträvar en hög nivå av realism, torde beakta detta faktum:

Klockan 2 på morgonen är kanske en ypperligt usel tid för det där inbrottet, eller uppdelandet om vem som håller vakt natten igenom ute i vildmarken kanske bör tänkas om?

Sålunda: kortvila, långvila, samt HALV-vila?

I'd rather be different than indifferent.

Jag är pensionär och praktiserar det där ofrivilligt sedan jag slutade jobba reguljära kontorstider. Brukar vakna krig 0300 och sedan ligga och läsa en stund. Jag njuter av nattens tystnad.

Det finns klara poänger med att stiga upp mitt i natten och slänga en till vedklabbe på brasan. Plus att jag gissar att de inte hade lika bekväma sängar, så det var kanske nödvändigt att stiga upp och röra lite på sig mitt i natten för att inte vakna upp totalt ledbruten nästa dag.
Lite som det där med att folk ofta sov sittandes förut mycket väl kan ha varit ett resultat av lugnskador från att bo i väldigt rökiga miljöer.

Det är nog fler än man tror som har ett sömnmönster där de är vakna ett tag på natten. De flesta upplever det bara som negativt och kämpar emot eftersom det inte anses vara det "normala". Ses väl snarare som ett sömnproblem.
Har pratat med flera på jobbet som har det så. Själv har jag perioder där jag kan vara uppe/vaken lite under natten, tror det är kopplat till årstiderna.

Pacific Northwest's ‘forest gardens’ were deliberately planted by Indigenous people | Science | AAAS
"For decades, First Nations people in British Columbia knew their ancestral homes—villages forcibly emptied in the late 1800s—were great places to forage for traditional foods like hazelnuts, crabapples, cranberries, and hawthorn. A new study reveals that isolated patches of fruit trees and berry bushes in the region's hemlock and cedar forests were deliberately planted by Indigenous peoples in and around their settlements more than 150 years ago. It's one of the first times such "forest gardens" have been identified outside the tropics, and it shows that people were capable of changing forests in long-lasting, productive ways.
"It's very creative and sort of unique work," says University of Kansas, Lawrence, plant ecologist Kelly Kindscher, who was not involved in the research. "Many of us know there are historical imprints on the land, but tend to dismiss Native Americans and Aboriginal people globally in terms of their impact."
Because these wild-looking forest gardens don't fit conventional Western notions of agriculture, it took a long time for researchers to recognize them as a human-created landscape at all. Many ecologists argued until recently that such islands of biodiversity, seen also in Central and South America's tropical rainforests, were an accidental and fleeting byproduct of fire, floods, or land clearing. Without constant maintenance, ecologists assumed, the "natural" forest would quickly take over.
To show that the forest gardens were the result of human activity, Simon Fraser University historical ecologist Chelsey Geralda Armstrong first identified village sites near the city of Vancouver, Canada, and two closer to Alaska that local tribes were forced to abandon in the late 1800s.
Counting and identifying the species growing on and around the former settlement sites, she found they harbored a far more diverse mix of plants than the surrounding conifer forests. The plant species also filled a wider range of ecological niches. "It's striking to see how different forest gardens were from the surrounding forest, even after more than a century," says Jesse Miller, a Stanford University biologist and co-author on the study.
Meanwhile, nearby patches of land logged decades ago and left to regrow on their own were covered with just a few species of conifers and didn't have the same colorful, edible catalog of species. "The forest gardens bucked the trend," Armstrong says.
That suggests the forest gardens were not only deliberately cultivated by Indigenous gardeners, but also remained resilient in the face of dominant local flora long after people left the scene, the researchers report today in Ecology and Society. The mix of different species was probably key to their persistence, Miller says: "There's less open niche space, so it's harder for new species to come in."
The forest gardens were filled with plants that benefited humans, but they also continue to provide food for birds, bears, and insect pollinators, even after 150 years of neglect. It's evidence that human impact on the environment can have long-lasting positive effects. "A lot of functional diversity studies have a ‘humans are bad for the environment' approach," Armstrong says. "This shows humans have the ability to not just allow biodiversity to flourish, but to be a part of it."
Other researchers say the findings could help boost the case that Indigenous knowledge has an important place in conservation efforts. "Anthropologists and archaeologists have been arguing in favor of this, but there's been a lot of resistance from ecologists over the past 20 years," says Patrick Roberts, an archaeologist at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History who was not involved in the research. This study, he says, is an important piece of evidence showing human modification can add value to ecosystems.
It also helps explain a mystery that puzzled many European anthropologists when they first visited the Pacific Northwest in the late 1800s. Despite the absence of what the Europeans considered "agriculture"—cultivated fields and annual cycles of planting and harvesting—the tribes they encountered were socially complex, with large, sedentary populations and hierarchical societies. "That stumped a lot of anthropologists," who thought Western forms of agriculture were necessary for complex societies, Armstrong says. "Now we know it wasn't just salmon.""

Min favorit är nog "Landscapes of thorns" och andra landskap som tänkta att avskräcka folk från att besöka dem.
Arkeologer och äventyrare om 1000 år: "Det står förbjudet så då måste det vara intressant. Var är min kofot?"
Exakt problemet, hur förhindrar man just det med utbränt kärnbränsle. Jag tror tyvärr att det är iprincip omöjligt. Sö snart man försöker hålla någon borta så lockar det andra att utforska.
Det utbrända kärnbränslet förvaras dessutom djupt inne i ett bergrum, så det blir en perfekt dungeon.

Tänka sig att det fanns en tid när jag var så skeptisk till repeterpistoler och yxpistoler och svärdpistoler och annat i rollspel och dömde ut dessa som "fåniga fantasivapen".
Ack så blind jag var, men nu kan jag se!
Ack så blind jag var, men nu kan jag se!
De flesta sådana där märkliga vapen har faktiskt funnits i verkligheten. De allra, allra flesta blev aldrig populära av den enkla orsaken att de inte fungerade särskilt bra.
Detta är min favorit när det kommer till gamla flintlås vapen som skulle passa perfekt i valfri fantasy setting: Kalthoff repeter-geväret. Den användes faktiskt i strid, men som sades ovan var den för dyr för långsiktig användning
