Funny Screenshots: Part Deux

[Mad Professor]

#8 - creepy

Spoiler :

In the world beyond our shores, there are races of giants ruling the lands. Meanwhile, back home, we've just developed the rarely-acquired "independently floating arrows" technology, as seen on the far left of your screen.

(Actually, what I did was hit Alt+O to remove the curvature of the earth while still in flight mode. That places all visible tiles at an equal distance from the "camera" view. Then the lost of perspective distances in flythru mode makes distant pixies look relatively humongous. Note the ginormous ice caps in the distance.)

Some great shots! In this one I actually like the giant crabs in the bay at the foot of the mountain near the top left of the picture!

Never seen this happen before, but I thought it was funny.

 

[CocoIsKing28]

You haven't? That's my favorite AI line. And those are great, AlexDog. I love all of the mountains.

 

[Silv Something]

Wow, AlexDog, those are the best screenshots I've ever seen!

 

[Yudishtira]

Yeah I would need to take a photography course (and a bad acid trip) before I could take screenies that good!

Double-take ... say what???

Spoiler :

... oh, okay


Sadly, my screenie of a defeated Montezuma AI switching from police state, bureaucracy, merchantilism, --- to just pacifism didn't save (I probably hit wrong key)
... was probably a glitch anyways

Alex Dog >> These are awesome screenshots. How do you use the flythru mode?

I don't get this one.

The fact that he's researching writing but only has 1 improved tile is kind of funny. Maybe he means the jungles next to the floodplains? I think that is fairly unusual.

Starting city with nothing but a pig?

nah, i think its sugar or something, but he has focused on "food" resources, so the icon for sugar doesnt show.

there is sugar on the river. but imho its a god awful city placement. should have been 2 tiles to the south.


but sadly, I dont get the screenie either....

 

[calibur]

There's no other food resources on map but the clams and the pig?

I settled in place (mistake) ... but the only other food in sight are flood plains in a jungle ???

My brother disconnected as soon as he saw my screen

 

[nerdfighter13]

I've found an early marine.

 

[God-Emperor]

Perhaps he's part of a synchronized swimming team and you just can't see the 7 guys underwater holding him up.

Louis IX is a pig indeed.

Not sugar, but silk.

That city is not bad. Pfft. But lands around are kinda a dearth of food.

I don't understand. There are no floodplains "in a jungle" on this map and, in fact, such a combination cannot occur in non-modded civ 4 because they use the same map "feature slot." You have a bunch of silks in forests, which are okay. The capital really isn't that bad, even if the rest of the land is rough.

I'm fair certain my scout is looking at flood plains.
Perhaps I should have said 'flood plains near jungle.'

Yeah, floodplains next to jungle is pretty weird (in fact, I mentioned this as one of the possible reasons for you posting this here before you explained), especially dye/Jungle.

 

[Pangaea]

This one isn't exactly "keeling over laughing" kind of funny either, but I found it amusing.
