Funny Screenshots: Part Deux

[krikav]

Ironclads can be useful under the right circumstances!
I had alot of use for them in NC222, where settled generals and drydock made it possible to promote them flank1+nav1+nav2 right out of the gate. And with circumnavigation they had 5 in movement, thereby adressing their main achilles heel.

 

[Sarin]

I never understood why Civ series stick to the Civil War coastal ironclads, while oceangoing ironclads built by European nations were much more common and more important as a technological step between wooden, broadside warships of age of sail and turreted, exclusively fuel-powered armoured warships of the first half of 20th century.
I mean, look at this thing. Wouldn't you prefer to see it in game rather than those ugly, half-sunk already cans?

Doing some WB testing, when accidentally phoning up Nappy has him throw down the biggest, baddest boast in Civ IV history:

Spoiler :

indeed, mister Bonaparte.

 

[Gressulf]

Not sure if this one is funny, but I was quite surprised.

Actually has happened to me on multiple occasions

Spoiler :

This next one is rather funny though. Great city placement, Ragnar.

Many things have been written about Napoleon (Nappy), but he didn't see what steam could lead to

Funny, most people I know stop working when they get a supply of hemp.

 

[TheBirdMan]

I guess it depends of which part of the hemp you are using .

I've never had the AI offer me a city.

I've never had the AI offer me a city.

An AI will only give you a city if it is culturally pressed, and they are at least Pleased with you. Happen to me quite a few times.

I don't think the imgur image worked, but the upload did. A 4 population, no wonder, non-capital, not-even-established-particularly-early top 5 city!

 

[Pangaea]

It means it was culture bombed. Happens from time to time.

 

[traius]

I didn't know this was a thing until this game: Stonehenge works under barb control! Somehow Joao lost his capital to Barbarians, and based on the culture in the city, as early as turn 210 (marathon), and the barbarians have controlled it ever since. It was a very atypical game for me: I selected always war and dropped the difficulty as I was not used to the setting at all. The AI tech pace has been so much less than I have been used to, which helps explain how Joao never took his capital back. But anyway, I checked the a brand new Barb city that just appeared (1 pop no granary) and lo and behold it had a monument in it!
The barbarians on this map are a far greater Civ than Joao, outnumbering him 14: 3 in the city department

I imagine there have been worse starts than this. But OMG it sucked to be Hannibal in this game.

Someone should switch the player start to Hannibal's position, replace the player with Charlie, set the difficulty to deity, and then put it out there as a true "nightmare map".

Forreal though, do you have a 4000BC save, maybe an autosave? I love those isolated-on-pangaea maps. Seeing it stuck by ice where there's probably not even a good city spot after the mountain? Roughhhhhh

Ha! Sorry, drewisfat; I don't have the 4000BC save. You've been saved from your own masochism

 

[Fippy]

Well it's not from a game, but who didn't hear about the famous modern armor beeline? Those descriptions

[Pangaea]

Heh, amusing I was thinking of a "nuke rush" just for giggles earlier.

There are probably better photojobs out there, but...

Feast your eyes on the Mechanized.. archer?
