The whole "Vanilla" thing seems to be one of those colloquialisms not used everywhere. I guess the classic definition would be that Vanilla is the "plain" version like with Vanilla ice cream as opposed to say Chocolate or Strawberry. I guess if someone doesn't see Vanilla ice cream as "plain" then the whole thing doesn't work for them. ;)

Aren't you glad we don't try to calling Warlords "Chocolate"? Or would it be "Strawberry"? Oh lord, imagine that debate... :mischief:

Credit this thread to Denniz. :p

I'll take up the gauntlet and create a poll, just for fun! :mischief: Heaven knows we need to have some around here. :lol:

*Mad Cackle!*

On second thought, thread reopened. Definitely off-topic for a Hall of Fame forum, but it might have a place in Humor.:)

I would have picked Rocky Road.

Considering all the complaints and bugs that showed up, I should have thought of that. Nice one, Jenarie! :goodjob:

Chocolate - it's what color your pants are when Monty and Ghengis Khan rock up with their new toys :p

HAHAHA! :lol: Good one, CliftonBazaar. :p :goodjob:

You just have to rock them back with some trebs. Nothing like a stack of Trebs and Pikes at home to prepare some nice horsesteak. :lol:

Chokolate, its more warlike than strawberry :)

Chocolate, it's quite obvious that chocolate comes after vanilla!

It is! Why don't you believe me? :cry:

I don't like chocolate that much.
I don't like strawberries at all.
I don't know what neopolitan is.

Now, to go by the warlords/war theme - I am to 'know my enemy.' That puts neopolitan right out. I am also to 'keep my friends close, but my enemy closer,' so since I don't like strawberries at all, but can tolerate chocolate, then strawberry must be my enemy. Therefore, strawberry is the answer.

Fear my logic :smug:

I don't know what neopolitan is.


Neopolitan is a mixture of Vanilla, Chocolate and Strawberry in side by side layers. Quite tasty.

Logic... :crazyeye:

Can't we assume that warlords is neopolitan?

It still has many of the base elements of the vanilla version
It has many fruity/flowery updates, if you will, making it partly strawberry
But I do agree, that the next logical progression from vanilla is chocolate

BAM! THERE IS NEOPOLITAN!

Who honestly Cares :confused:

Chocolate and Strawberry but not Vanilla, like Google!

Vanilla is not the same as "flavorless" - or "original", the mysterious flavor that is somehow different for toothpaste and potato chips.

So we should refer to "potato chip" cIV, then? :lol:

Good one! :lol:

That begs the question. Plain, Ridged, BBQ, Sour Cream and Onion or Cheddar cheese? :crazyeye:

Salt and Vinegar. :D

Nuh uh! :p Ridged rocks with dip!

Everyone knows it's spam flavoured

With some barbeque sauce over it!

What about mint melon flavour?

What about mint melon flavour?

Is this a mis-translation from swedenish?

and anyway, you forgot the up-and-coming "rookie" of potato chips, and that is Sour cream and cheddar.

They're excellente.

That they are. I'd indeed forgotten. Thanks.




Swedishguy: Mint Melon??!?!?! Erm. Okay. :crazyeye:

Warlords is coconut milk ice cream, with chunks of coconut embedded in which gets in between your teeth.

chocolate comes after strawberry, so warlords must be strawberry.

I really wouldn't want to eat ice cream that has bugs in it.

Is this a mis-translation from swedenish?

No, I don't think so. And BTW,

It's swedish
Swedishguy: Mint Melon??!?!?! Erm. Okay. :crazyeye:
What, you haven't eaten it before!? <sigh> :shake:

Its good :yumyum:

What, you haven't eaten it before!? <sigh> :shake:

They don't have it here in the USA... at least, not my backwoods hicktown part. :lol:

mint. no melon :nono:

I like melon! Mint too, maybe it can be like stimorol :)

Perhaps we all have a correct interpretation, based on what we see in Civ.

If you see Civ as simply a time passer/waster it's one thing.
If it's the only way you get social contact (even though it's via the internet), it's another.
If you see it as mental exercize then you have another interpretation.
If you're Swedenish then you think about melons.

The swedes are thinking about their furry little animals :smug:

That's because you Swedes are weird.

Not more weirder than a american fullgrown furry beaver...

Those American full grown furry beavers are indeed quite strange. Good thing I'm not one of those.

Warlords is Vanilla Choc Chip. It has extras that make you think your playing a whole new game, but in reality its just the same thing with little more to it.

(Waste of space scenarios... :mad:)

Interesting idea, but a lot of the add ins are very interesting.
Perhaps we call it chocolate chip cookie dough. That way it still has lame old chocolate chips, but also the delicious goodness of cookie dough.

Would the next expansion that comes out it'll be choc. chip cookie dough then. Add-ins galore. :lol:

Yeah. You're lucky you're a swedish beaver.

American fullgrown beaver?! Hypocracy! Everybody know american beavers are too small to be fully grown!

Here ya go, and BTW SG, are you not in schoool?


Wait a qoute :)
I'm really a giant beaver who mutated to be able to talk, write, type and run it's own business, the purpose of which has never been revealed. As you can see, we are having a sale on muskrats.

And a linky: Superb! (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=5072003&postcount=5)

Oi. Ice cream flavors to discussions of mutated beavers. :lol: This is definitely good reading :D

So whe have agreed that mint melon is the right flavour?

NO!!! I think strong mint shall be it...

It would seem that Chocolate is the clear winner from the poll. :p

So whe have agreed that mint melon is the right flavour?

Funny how we seemed to have reached a consensus on it despite the fact that you are the only one who has said it. :p

Ah, similar to the consensus we reached that all decisions of ice cream would be deferred through nerdking.

Pah, chocolate is for the common masses. If anything is chocolate, it should be C&C.

Warlords players are far more refined and discerning. It should be something classy, like pistachio.

Alas, pistachio is for the ignorant masses that want to feel classy by spelling a very strange word.

The real flavor is Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream

"Vanilla Ice Cream with Fudge Covered Waffle Cone Pieces & a Caramel Swirl"

Oh man, that sounds so good. :yumyum:

Chocolate and Strawberry but not Vanilla, like Google!
http://www.google.com/logos/valentine07.gifI wholeheartedly agree. Chocolate AND strawberry! :)

Strawberry!!!!!!!!!!

Just melon, not mint...

I'm allergic to pistachios. :( No warlords for me anymore.
