It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

It's also implied that she may have carried out several military operations during her period of history.

I thought she was basically implied to be the global leader of colonialism, an intentional contrast to her deified image because the people she conquered and converted almost certainly don't see her the same way as those who benefitted from it.

I'm pretty sure it's said somewhere that the image of Dolores Dei invokes fear in some people (probably the colonized). If you're stats are high enough in the church HDB gets a bad and sinister feeling in the church too.

You are right on the money. I admit I haven't played the game in a long time and I was just going off my memory so I had to look it up. It's time for another play through I think lol

She also was an advisor to Irene the Navigator, who is a direct copy of Portuguese prince Henry the Navigator, who financed and organized colonial expeditions in Africa that discovered Volta do Mar in particular.
