Attacko's Babylonian Maneuver

[PieceOfMind]

Fact - You should be wearing adequate head protection when reading this thread. A hard hat or bicycle helmet would suffice. Failure to follow this warning while reading this thread can result in head hurting or in more severe cases temporary or permanent brain damage.

Fact - The easiest way to implement Attacko's method is by declaring war and deleting every single unit you have. The AI will try to evaluate the strength of your empire by finding the average strength of your units. Of course, in doing so it will divide by zero causing it to crash and lose.

Fact - As demonstrated above, italicising random words does not strengthen any argument.

Fact - Definition: Catastrophism
The name coined by William Whewell in 1837 to describe a view in geology championed by Hutton that the rate and mechanisms of past geological change are dramatically different than those of today. More recently it has been used to refer to 'episodic' or 'quantum' evolutionary processes, and to scientific models that requires extremely large scale change to account for past developments. It is wrongly applied to the punctuated equilibrium theory of Gould and Eldredge, which involves variable rates but not dramatically distinct causes. See Uniformitarianism.

How dare you. You are just like them all, aren't you?! Just a crusher of dreams, destroyer of hopes, killer of thoughts, just like the rest of em. You, sir, are the ultimate evil. Why don't you just put the cereal in the jar and be done with it???!!?!??!?!?

I forgot my helmet and thus this ensued

 

[troytheface]

thank you for the comments and also for copying the writing style.

like most great innovators, being copied is the norm

Fact- One of the best strategies on the board

Fact- One Attacko with a manuever is equal to twelve civfanatics playing boudica of rome

Fact- Failure to understand a Venn is not the same as failure to execute a Venn

I highly recommend the Tin Foil Hat, since then you and troy will both be wearing one!

Being serious for a moment, why would you want to take the shortest path to victory? What fun is that? I play Civ4 to play out the entire span of the game, not to win in 50 A.D. What fun is it to make a crapload of Bowmen, and go and murder everyone before the A.D.'s? You don't gain anything from that except large numbers on a screen that nobody but you will see. I like to do diplomacy, to make wars, to feel what its like to take an empire from 4000 B.C. and turn it into a leading global superpower in the modern era. And yes to do that, your going to need cottages, as in RL, thats what founded empires, not going around conquering everyone. If you actually look at history, which you tend to reference a lot, all the empires that went around conquering, ended up losing it all really fast (Roman Empire, Mongol Empire, etc.). The game (I find) isn't about winning really fast, its about giving you the feeling of managing a large empire over time and having fun at the same time.

 

[troytheface]

yes, you make good points.

which is why there is "Attacko's Guide to War for Cottage Building Females and Homosexual Civ4 Players".

It goes over the finer points of household-like management and drapery.

Yes, lets see if you could be even more insulting. Deal with it, your not funny (look, even in a language you can understand)

 

[Antilogic]

Was that language English con grammatical errors?

It's good to stick to your strengths.

And where is the guide? My homosexual friends and female acquaintances would like to read it.

 

[BakingTheArt]

I love Troy. He keeps this board from a monotonous drone of cottages, specialists, and axe rushes, an basically lightens the tone of the whole board. Plus, he's funny.

Why would homosexuals and women play the game any differently? What a misogynistic, homophobic, bigoted attempt at humor. Maybe attacko should write a strategy guide for blacks, jews, mexicans, and muslims next?

 

[CHEESE!]

Serious mode-ON.

Yeah, troy, can we stop this slide toward more base and unwitty humor, and get back to amphibious war elephants and the like?

Troy, I have just thought of an idea which Attacko could use to make a great guide.
Why not attack the computer at April 1st, and do something confusing, then say "April fools!", which will cause him to be angry that the player fooled him and crash?

Wait, was this supposed to be locked?
