Funny Screenshots: Part Deux

[mechaerik]

...Or the English decided to become barbs.

 

[Nikolai Dneppen]

This combat log is so funny...it mad me cry.

And before anyone flames me for my absolutely dreadful economy: I had no choice. I shared a continent with Napoleon, and he started making demands when I had just my capitol settled. Then he declared war after I settled my first city. I was forced to mass produce my unique warriors and kill him, leaving me over expanded like hell.
The good news is I managed to kill him 1 turn before my gold went into the red, and I was able to keep from bankruptcy by immediately disbanding most my army.

Anyone who flames another player's game choices based on a screenshot needs to be smacked upside the head. Double if it's a screenshot from a silly screenshot thread rather than a 'give me advice' thread.

Man - your economy sucks.

Spoiler :

ducks, weaves, dodges ... sorry ... couldn't resist it. Guess I really am 6

I was losing 700 gold per turn at 0% research once- in comparison, I'd actually say your economy was pretty good!

Name 3 things that are wrong with this picture.

 

[Absolute Zero]

1. Roosevelt is 2nd in score and appears to have eliminated Monty.
2. The Colossus didn't get built until 1418 AD.
3. Everyone else is teching medieval techs while you're at Scientific Method. (Although I'm not sure if that's "wrong" considering that you are leading by a huge margin and have a massive empire.)

 

[mystyfly]

1)-3) You're playing JC on an earth maps and are abusing praets.

Got the the first two right, the third is actually the fact that Toku gives a flying one about wonders. As for Monty, I peeked at him in worldbuilder after I got the message he was dead, and he had been taken out by the Phillistine archer event (Judging by the number of archer running around Tenochtitlan, which itself was guarded by one heavily damaged barbarian archer.) which Roosevelt took back. But since you couldn't tell that by looking at the picture, I'll still give you credit for 2/3. Pass!

How in the name of Sid did you manage to do that?

Spoiler :

Well gosh darnit, looks like I won't be wonderspamming this game.

 

[Absolute Zero]

Let's hope you've got some more food in the fog...plains cow + 1 flood plain isn't going to feed much population.

 

[r_rolo1]

Let , me correct you : 3 FP.

And he has no other food ...atleast if he used one of the more common scripts, that use both starting position normalization and disallow most of the food resources on forest tiles ( exception to deer, but with jungle so close, I doubt that the above mentioned scripts would place deer in this BFC ... unless it is a very small map ).

Anyway, this is a very dry start indeed....

UberREXing- play as Catherine and build nothing but settlers until you win a domination victory. Settlers aren't disbanded during bankruptcy.

cool

was it fun?
(seems tedious)


at what difficulty level can you win this way?

 

[logarithm64]

I've only won this way at Noble (on a donut map with hills at the centre). It's quite fun and surprisingly strategic, but it does get a bit tedious trying to find the last few places it's possible to build a city and also having too many settlers wandering around doing nothing. At that point it's generally a good idea to grow your inner cities to get the required population. I usually end up with about 70 cities in total.

 

[joanne]

^ That is so cool. How did you handle barbarians & the other AI's and prevent them from declaring war, or did you play with no AI's + barbs off?

Anyway, ever wondered what that bluish green liquid in flasksscience is made out of?(well technically they're flasks and not "beakers.") As the old Roman saying goes, "In vino veritas"

 

[Kullervo]

That Rene Descartes?

1) The one tile NOT in my culture...
2) Mao the warmonger.
3) First of all, unpromoted caravel pwnage. Second... well, figure it out yourself.
4) World wars rock (Except that I'm losing because Mao managed to intercept one of my navies and sunk like 20 units, 4 of which were my official medics.)
5) What Incan capital? They have no cities!

 

[mechaerik]

"Your Caravel Has Killed a Chinese Privateer"?

 

[danjuno]

It's time to play "What's wrong with this picture?" again!
