Attacko's Inverted Sword Of Infinity

[budweiser]

As I was saying, the CS palcement has decided the rough shape for player's empire. When the King arrives, he can annex the puppets and shape his borders exactly as he sees fit.

France is the superior in this case.

 

[troytheface]

France has Legionarres and once they invaded and it was a battle in the dunes and the legionarres were impossible to kill and i lost a city and quit and forgot all about it forever

Bowmen and Legionarres are the best units in the game and both are good in the desert

But my new theory is two cities (continents, standard/emperor) with the settler scouting no matter how many turns it takes to find a natural wonder near the coast and then turn the Capitol into a Sea peoples attack station for the last half of the game and puppet all non razable cities and raze all razeable cities especially if they have a wonder and high population

2 cities because you can do it with one but that is over the top and pedantic if i knew what that word meant,
also - Athens, Sparta- Washington , New york- Babylon, Akkad - Paris, France

the secondary city can be more famous then the primary one so i say two cites

the evidence is clear- Attacko's Binary Natural Wonder Build of Chaotic Reprise

images to follow

Athens-Sparta is an obvious clue. A culture/soldier Thatch Weave attack.

Players desiring a rapid expansion should choose the Liberty tree. In Civ V, anything beyond 1 city is 'rapid expansion'. Liberty>Collective Rule>Citizneship>???? at turn 59 is my latest creation.

Vive La France. Blue over white, some red, trimmed in gold.

This is the best thread ever!

"I'm confused. What is the lesson exactly?"

generals that tried to copy Cannea were the worst generals of all time and got creamed all over the place

however, Fischer, Epaminondas , Rembrant, Attacko-
not sure you can really assimilate much, more an end note, or -this was made with the given

the real secret of Sun Tzu's "The Art Of War" was that it is a load of crap (concubines fought each other? lol) and was written so westerners would read it and think "wow" and then get like ambushed at pearl harbor

the tactics of the grunt are the superior which are don't die and get it over with quickly so you can go home and build a pasture around your cow of a wife


the evidence is clear- Horse in the Tundra are better then regular horse and there is the great crater thing in the Tundra as well which could mean that a Tundra build next to a mountain for an Observatory but don't go science go culture and units but pretend you are going science but get the
Hanging Gardens instead and build an Academy early with your first scientist but build it where the xelephone symbol suggests because i bet horse won't be there and later if its like oil or uranium or coal then replace it anywho because it would come late and does not matter

Never forget Poe's law, a variant of which applies here. Even reaching for massively monstrous misdirectional overkill, one will never be confident of complete comprehension and I'm tired of tabbing to a thesaurus so time to throw a tangent.

There still exists the possibility of reverse trolling, but I always stick to: "never attribute to malice what can be explained by simple stupidity."

Most unintelligible thread ever

Most unintelligible thread ever

And my point gets proven by the very next post. Amusing.

 

[Varanid]

i'm so flipping confused. That's normal though.

 

[Nanzook]

I think this is very funny

You can live after your settler dies you know

as long as you have warrior

So you can kill off first settler then go search the world for military state befriend them hopefully ally by killing barbs and get granted units to take your first city

Ha I wonder if you would die after you conquer first city because you wouldn't have original settlement at that point

I'm confused. What is the lesson exactly?

Attacko shows there's fun to be had. Like, invert the common strategies and play around.

Here are a couple of notes (not specific to thread) I've picked up in a few games.

where borders are tight, use the culture bomb to get in close to a city for the quick catpure, all in one turn even, if the tiles you grab have roads.

declare wars and steal workers early. cities are durable and you can survive counter attacks. gives you an immediate edge with neighbors. once you are out ahead, they sue for peace with gifts,c an never catch back up, and you can take your time building up to when you stomp your neighbors, weakest to strongest, one at a time.

the opening game of city positioning is a game of tiles. place cities to block areas from nearby civs to prevent their settling

I saw a show on the History Channel or some such channel, "Who would win, Alexander at Cannae vs Hannibal? Alexander is attacking". Well, of course he is attacking.

What a bunch of crap. As if Alexander would have had any trouble with Hannibal. Hannibal did not win Cannae as much as the two idiots in charge of the Romans lost it.

 

[Grames]

This is yet another proof of why Civ 5 sucks. Attacko/Troytheface is no longer funny. The funny is gone because his craziness actually works now.

 

[Varanid]

if anyone remembers the older Civ games, pure water cities could rock late game. Civ 2, get an offshore platform+harbor and you had an ubercity.

I was so bummed that it doesn't dt hat anymore

lol

the superiority of the legion over the phalanx was a given

(the former the formation of which hannibal adapted)

they dove under the spears and phyruss and the phalanx faded from italy

the phalanx would have amplified a Cannea scenario

but worse- those little greek ponies vs heavy spanish horse and numideans?
lol

Alexander- the most boring general of all time- fought a decrepid empire defended by
wicker sheilds and old ideas

Hannibal fought what would rule the world

"Of Attacko i can only say that i wish he was at Zama, of Alexander? Kinda died early and had a pretty short lived empire and really did not do much since he got the army from daddy whilst i created a polyglot collection of tribes from like across the ocean" - Hannibal 35 BC

the evidence is clear- Of course Attacko's tactics work all the time in any situation
because they are based in hyper atomic modern Venn diagram tactical theory instead of reloading

this is a Kung fu Shaolin Master , that Attacko taught, in an exhibition match with someone

Fact- one theory of the Shaolin was they took in wounded soldiers and the soldiers said like thanks , the next time someone tries this do this- and on and on

think he is using the snake form which references "the snakes head" by Attacko as well as the "Snake Tile Buying Formation in Retro" -a geometric tactic in Civ5

here it is with Slipknot music

and here's a tip- multiplayer- play early in the day- i'll elaborate later - but here, suffice to say, that the "attack at dawn" phrase is coined for a reason- just now its in the age of tech

 

[budweiser]

Alexander - Never lost a battle and then died, was possibly poisoned.

Hannibal - Never won a battle after Cannae and then killed himself.

The order of History'e greatest generals goes soemthing like this:

Alexander The Great
Frederick The Great
George S Patton Jr
Everyone else

 

[troytheface]

Fact- Alexander faced an enemy using Chariots. Chariots. i mean against a phalanx
they had to be the stupidist enemy in the entire universe

Fact-The Greatest General was not a General but Lieutenant Commander Ernest E. Evans
who took on the whole japanese fleet and won and then sank i think

Fact- The next greatest tactical guy was the Civil War General that said make Hunley Wolf Packs and use Le Matt revolvers and Balloon bombers and Gatling guns and Henrys, that no one listened to so he ran off with a belle and was like a privateer or something

Fact- The worst Generals were all the US Generals in WW2 because they could have just waited and looked at a radar screen and dropped like atomic bombs- oh yeah and the german generals especially Rommel "the desert loser"

the evidence is clear- Time and Stegnography in Pixallation, in Color

oh yeah, Primus on Letterman

with one of the greatest unknown guitarists of all time who uses three styles in an Attackoesque delivery - cold, clear, final
unlike the generals they say were good like Lee who charged into like entrenched troops defended by cannon like a blithering old moron
