The Union Rescue Mission’s website captures the scope of the problem: “Many people who come to America view it as a place where they can start over with nothing–and frequently end up here with little to no resources.”ĭespite this long and ugly heritage, Los Angeles does not lay claim to coining the term “Skid Row”-that dubious honor goes to Seattle, where communities of loggers sprouted up along the pathways, or “skid roads,” on which the Washington timber would be dragged out to port. Then, as now, the city attracted immigrants, and the $10-per-night hotels were chosen by newcomers as a base upon which to build their fortunes. By 1876, Los Angeles was the final stop on the transcontinental railroad, leading to an early population boom fueled by land speculation. The Mission developed in parallel to Skid Row, and can trace its origins to the late 19 th century, when the area east of tony Bunker Hill became the domain of brothels and saloons.
The Union Rescue Mission, the charity that’s stationed at the epicenter of last Sunday’s shooting of a Skid Row resident, takes a long view of how the half-mile bubble came to quarter 10,000 homeless people in 2015, even as property rates skyrocket around its perimeter. Manage your economy, guide your people’s religion, be the master diplomat and a fearless general: become the ruler your people love, and establish a legacy that will live across the generations.How did Los Angeles’ Skid Row come to be? It depends on who you ask. Choose your medieval kingdom and lead it to glory or ruins – the fate of your subjects lies in your hands. In cooperation with the veteran game developers at Black Sea Games, the goal is to craft a medieval strategy experience that maintains all the depth players expect while breaking new grounds on approachability.
Knights of Honor II: Sovereign is THQ Nordic’s first step into the Grand Strategy genre. While it’s THQ Nordic publishing the game this time rather than Paradox, the original developer, Black Sea Games, has returned to create the sequel. In it, you’ll be making the same kinds of decisions you might in a Paradox game like Crusader Kings or Europa Universalis, but Knights of Honor II is presenting them in miniature, without all the dense menu text to parse. Knights of Honor 2-Sovereign is a modernized take on the original game, and THQ says they plan on making it an accessible entry point to the grand strategy genre.
