Civilization V: Who/What Am I?

[stormfallen]

It's either Isabella or Montezuma.

I'll go with Montezuma.

Nope. Probably should have mentioned that it's a unit.

 

[Peaceful Civ]

Barbarians?

 

[stormfallen]

Barbarians?

Nope.

 

[Peaceful Civ]

I think the questions should be for something that can ONLY be that, and nothing else.

Otherwise it's just a crapshoot.

 

[mintcandy]

Nope. Probably should have mentioned that it's a unit.

Does that mean I can guess again?

I think the questions should be for something that can ONLY be that, and nothing else.

Otherwise it's just a stupid crap shoot.

I disagree, but I do think that the first hint should specify what role it plays in Civ V, whether it is a unit, city improvement, tile improvement, promotion, game concept, leader, etc.

Otherwise, it is a pedantic crap shoot.

I know the answer, but can't guess.

I guess as long as it's the defining characteristic, it's ok.

 

[stormfallen]

Sure, guess again.

 

[otaman1]

I don't work well with others.

Nukes?

 

[Peaceful Civ]

It has to be nukes. The only unit that can destroy friend and foe.

 

[stormfallen]

Nope! The clue isn't a defining characteristic, but rather a side effect of the unit's ability.

 

[trexeric]

Slinger.

 

[stormfallen]

Slinger.

Ding! Having other military units nearby can make it impossible for them to retreat, and they leave citizens behind if attacked!

 

[Peaceful Civ]

Nope! The clue isn't a defining characteristic, but rather a side effect of the unit's ability.

Well, in that case it could have been a million different things - and one could only hope to get lucky.

Can you imagine a Jeopardy episode where Alex asks, "This device is good for scraping ice from the windshield."

A contestant answers, "What is an ice-scraper?"

Alex replies, "No, sorry. The correct answer was, what is a hardened three-day old hamburger with mold."

I mean, come on people!

Well, someone got the answer anyway. And it was meant to be a challenge, wouldn't be much fun otherwise! The second clue would have been Don't use them to escort civilians, which makes it a bit more obvious to anyone who's played the Inca and made that mistake.

 

[trexeric]

Clue #1: "The rich should be killed and eaten and you should get all of their stuff!"

I, uh...huh.

Landed Elite?

I, uh...huh.

Nope!

I see. But maybe not everyone is as honest as you! They could just ask something for which there may be more than one answer to. Sort of like, "I am thinking of a number", type of thing.

Is it Communism from the Order policy branch?
