Funny Screenshots: Part Deux

[Bobbtjoe]

How do you play in windowed mode on a Mac? I can't seem to do that. I also see you have the same "units turning completely black" problem.

Nothing like a OCC conquest win , right? But really, Augustne shouldn't lose time stating the obvious , right?

 

[mystyfly]

Yeah, the timing was just great It's from the OCC AW thread btw.

 

[Apopp]

Over the last 40 or so turns, I've gotten 4 famine events (+3 diplo points if you give food and a little gold to your neighbor) and the downed airliner event (+1 diplo point if you allow access to a downed airliner) with Charlie, which certainly helped to solidify our alliance. Earlier on, I had another famine event with him, and I've never had 5 famine events in a game much less 5 famine events with the same AI .

Spoiler :

 

[bestrfcplayer]

That's amazing apopp!

 

[capnvonbaron]

I seem to get the airliner crash ones in rashes... they won't occur for dozens of games and then one game I'll get like 6. WTH

Also, nice Pachacuti there, Mysty How many out-dated units does one have to massecre to accrue 1209 XP?

Now, how did the shipwrights in FFH2 mess up so badly?

Sheep at the end of the world on their grassy plain by their frozen lake...

I knew the chest would be hard to get to, but I didn't know it would be THIS hard!

I can refuse that, and I will.

And, 1 second later...

I refused that one, too.

 

[CHEESE!]

That's a very Attila thing to say.

I also notice Mr. Fawtly in your game.

@capnvonbaron: Had 3 more units with roughly the same XP. Overall kills in this game were around 2k (deity agg ai aw).

 

[Caeserportugal]

Elmikino which mod was the one of the last two screenshots with attila and the xiognu guy?

 

[r_rolo1]

That is chuggi terrain ( or a small modification of it ). You can have it in regular game if you want ...

I prefer my own "terrain pack" ( Blue marble 4.0 + a water file I picked around ... really don't remember where ATM )

While it might not be looking that interesting at first (besides the fancy Shakazuma design and my general inaptitude), here's what makes it interesting:
Ok, so I was boxed by Pericles right from the start, after a border pop or two in Athens (Creative+Buddhism Holy City made that not take long), I was completely blocked off from the rest of the continent. So, the obvious decision was a rush, and as soon as I teched BW, I found Copper in Berlin's BFC. So I chopped almost all my forests and killed Pericles with axes. At some point when I was still building my stack, I popped another Copper in a Mine. Nice production boost. Then, later, I was already finished settling my Continent/Island (not sure what to call it), and while it did hold 2 sources of Iron, they both happened to be in very bad spots, right in the middle of deserts. So, what happened? Of course, my other mine near Berlin popped Iron. And, as if that wouldn't be enough, now I got an event which gave me +2 commerce in that same tile.
Then again, I'm not really lucky over all, my landmass is while not being outright terrible, not really good, and I have a total of 2 happiness ressources, one of which of course requires Calendar. I'll have to think about starving Berlin back to pop 7 soon, since those 3 unhappy citizens aren't going to do anything for me.

Why didn't you build Essen 1E? It would be on the River, and crowd Berlin less.

 

[Aljar]

I thought that way it would be better because it wouldn't lose a floodplain, since its main purpose are scientists with those 2 seafood and 2 floodplains. Would settling on the river (as short as it is) really would have been positive? Especially since I prefer settling closer to Berlin to having 3 useless desert tiles more. Then again, I'm not exactly an expert.

Why didn't you build Essen 1E? It would be on the River, and crowd Berlin less.

With the way he built it, he could switch production tiles with Berlin. Looks like all desert to the east anyway. And a floodplain is a terrible thing to lose.

Someone needs to whip unhappies....

Another silly but screenshot-less thing that happened to me: I rushed Lizzie with Hatshepsut's war chariots, and was given the option of turning one of her crappier cities over to Willem ("Oh, I guess the Dutch are over on that side of the map. Okay."). So I did. He didn't bother garrisoning the city, so the barbarians strolled in and took it. Think I, "Hey, free experience and loot money! Score!" and retake the city, then give it back to Willem.

This happened three times. Several millennia later, Willem still has a +4 modifier on the diplomacy screen for my liberating his cities.

 

[Jerrymander]

The funniest thing about the Berlin picture is the really odd city placement. But I supposed you didn't know there were two fish to the west.

And Essen being size 7 but with unimproved floodplains. er...
