Screenshot of the Day #116: Musketman

Thunderfall · Mar 19, 2003

I thought this was quite funny. I decided to visit the military advisor screen to see how many units I could build with my current funds. It turns out he was "advising" me to build musketmen. This was normally a good idea, except for the fact that I couldn't possibly build a unit that had been outdate by riflemen!

Thanks to Edward Jones for the screenshot.

I've noticed a couple of times that the Military Advisor has recommended that I build obsolete units. Once it told me to build knights the turn after I'd upgraded all my knights to cavalry.

Maybe the military was thinking about triggering a GA? Just a guess.

It's not uncommon - I've seen it happen before. Only I didn't think it was witty enough to become an SOTD :wallbash:

I don't know what exactly triggers it...

ya that screen shot is pretty common.

mazzz · Mar 19, 2003

but cool! ive never seen that

IMO, the advisor is very smart! Build more units at lower shield cost, do a mass upgrade. Unfortunately, riflemen don't need a resource... not so smart then.

The intelligence of those millitary people amaze me.

Ville · Mar 20, 2003

Never happended to me

Hygro · Mar 20, 2003

Me thinks the military advisor has not yet gotten used to Rifle tactics (think the American Civil War)

blahz · Mar 20, 2003

That's Military Intelligence for ya

It's true then: Generals always fight the previous war!

metalhead · Mar 20, 2003

All those cities, and only 64 units? :eek:

MAybe hes going for a cultural victory.

Man, I want my IronClad Whale Radar to be a SOTD.

flexo · Mar 20, 2003

That happends alot with various units. I have had the advisors suggest I build more swordmen when I can build Infantry and all sorts of wacky suggestions.

Eventually it will be posted (or it may not be)

I've sent three to four others after my "Barbarian Galley" was posted and none have been acknowledged except for one to get a clearer picture. Just be patient.

I really don't get whats so special about that. It's just an ironclad sitting on top of a whale. Uhh, yeah. You already posted it, anyway. What's the point of it becoming a screenshot of the day if everyone's seen it already?

dj_tranquility · Mar 20, 2003

I've never seen this before either

I love it when the message boards get testy.

de Montcalm · Mar 21, 2003

Hmm you all get the picture wrong. These advisors are all nostalgic. They neglect the fact that you're already in the modern and instead would like to say fancy musketeers parading the streets with their colourful uniforms

Long live the 17/18 century :king:

Perhaps the advisor was just showing some respect for your heritage.
