Funny Screenshots: Part Deux

[PreLynMax]

Worse -- and it was my start, to boot (screeny taken in WB):

Spoiler :

Two silvers, two crabs, a wet corn, and all that forest in the BFC.... surrounded by nasty, nasty terrain. Poo

Yup. That's one crappy start alright. Regenerate?

 

[Skallagrimson]

Food much?

 

[Optical]

Starting save?

 

[Verarde]

Dang. Lookit that river and the banana and corn...

 

[Optical]

Definitely go for the Levee there.

 

[uat2d]

Too bad you'll need Calendar for the bananas.

 

[joanne]

^ You can still farm over bananas before calendar provided they're next to fresh water, yielding 4 instead of 5 but still better than the base 3; after biology they're just like plantations yield-wise, only without the resource bonuses and the ability to trade them

 

[strijder20]

I just had a two dry corn, FP and gold Ramesses start, but ragequitted after a barb killed my settler

 

[Cristoval]

Possibly one of the worst starting location letdowns ever....

You start out, and around you you have a good mix of plains and grassland, with eventual oil and horses, with silver and sheep immediately visible. Then all around you is tundra and ice....

Note, I was England in that game. Also, I had the interface turned off for that screenshot.

Looks like you started in Skyrim

 

[reddishrecue]

Banana farms won't give the banana resource.

 

[SamSniped]

@red-...?

 

[Jwitti]

That hath been established reddishrecue. Thanks though, I now feel less stupid about my missing the obvious on my DI

"War what is it good for: Crippling me"

That is a lot of advanced swordsmen there! (anyone else built freak numbers of units?)

 

[strijder20]

That's a freak amount of sworsmen, indeed. And I encourage you to kill off the people you are at war with, just because.

 

[j_mie6]

Looking at the map I would say I ended the war in about 15 turns from losing most of my army (I am invading eygpt) but I have most of the yellow west of those 2 orange cities... I managed to win religious. I think my big mistake there was not adopting police state and thinking large garrisons with monarchy would get my through the weariness

I think you just didn't bring enough siege But it's your mod, so I don't know exactly how the strength ratio of siege is there.

That's an odd patch of desert...

 

[Matty R]

Hmmmm ... maybe I'll take a cruise instead.

[j_mie6]

yeah I never bring enough seige, I thought my huge army would do it... problem is egypt's production is huge and they can build very quickly..

That's what you get if you give Egypt a bunch of 2F 1H tiles, I'd say

 

[j_mie6]

Well they do deserve those 2 food they are stuck in plains land after all... I was thinking of balancing this with only providing 0.5 hammers on the tile but I don't know if that will work...

wait a minute have you got it? How else would you know about the 2F
