How did shields make sense anyway?
Does such an item represent building material?

In the first Civ 4 expansion pack, this thread will be a great wonder called "Internet Hysteria" that costs 345 hammers and 255 shields to build, which causes massive unrest in every country except for you own, where it causes a civil war. It will also cause the size of your units to double.

In Benglanese it is called "Nyerw Slatullus" in old Madacascar it was referred to as "Keeso no onmu" here in the south we say "wimp shield ##$%"
The first Shield as Icon was drawn by Benjamin Hoffmeyer. Mr. Hoffmeyer was a miserable cur of a man that did not take his wife to the hospital when she was dieing of an exploded appendix. He is famous for the quote "Shields and Nazi's thats all we need"
The creator of the Hammer Icon could not be reached for comment because he was helping the poor and setting up an new orphange.

thats typical for hammer-propaganda
they take real events and completely turn them around.
of course shields and nazis have something in common:
namely, that the hammer using nazis were defeated by the mighty shield!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and of course the inventer of the hammaer is related to orphans, but in fact he is leading a child prostitution ring in thailand....

Actually we SHOULD do a TEMPORARY boycott of Civ 4 not for shields versus hammers -- I think the hammers look better -- but because we KNOW from past history that it will be released with bugs galore -- even Civ 3 still has bugs ... they chose to work on Civ 4 even BEFORE actually finishing Civ 3 and getting all the bugs ironed out and now we know for sure that they will never be ironed out.
The ONLY way to make companies make games bug free at release is to NOT BUY the game when they are released. Wait a month or 3 months or 6 months. That way companies will not be PRESSURED by their publishers or the market to rush a game before competitors or in time for a shopping season or whatever. Once publishers see that rushing a game on time will not increase profits since people will now WAIT 3 or 6 months to buy it anyway, then we may start seeing games released with a "Passed [Company Name] Quality Assurance Program with Extensive Three [or Six] Month Long Testing (tm)" logos -- just like we see other logos.
I propose this for ALL games since this is unfortunately a problem with almost all companies. Very few are released bug free these days.

Dude,
You know you'll buy it on the first day. You've made 2,009 posts in these forums. You're going to drink a gallon of coffee and play until your eyes bleed, bugs or no bugs, and we both know it.
I know it, because I'll be doing the same damn thing. I might even have to sell my car to buy a new computer to run the f-ing thing, but I'll be there.
Oh, yeah man, I'll be there.

Is so true...
It's kind of pathetic when you put it that way, isn't it? I *know* I'm going to buy the game and all the expansion packs as soon as they are released and spending hours to load the bugfixes 1.01 through 1.64 or how many versions there are going to be. Even as I know this I can't help it. It's what will happen.
Do I have a problem? And should I admit it? "Hello everybody. I'm Pembroke and I'm a Civaholic. I haven't played for..."

Ironing out bugs? Sounds like a messy business to me...

Yes, you can iron out bugs. The phrase originates from doing just that, a hot iron pressing the creases out of a garment and killing the parasites lurking within the seams.
Hammers or shields ? Does it really matter ? At least, both are correctly named, unlike the appallingly mis-labelled "beakers" which (as has been stated many time) are actually flasks. And couldn't we have coins made of silver, not gold? This last for two reasons: firstly, in my experience Silver is a much rarer resource than Gold, and secondly my aged eyes don't find it that easy to distinguish "coins" from "smiling faces".
The above does not alter my allegiance to the well-established Shield faction. Habits die hard.

well you learn something new everyday. Although to merge the 2 topics together- what if there was no iron available, which would be better to kill the bugs then, a hammer or a shield? The winner of course being the tool most beneficial to mankind in every sense of the word, and are a by-word for progress and everything that is right in life...
