Le Grand Wall of Frenchy - Purpose : unknown

There are dark rumors about that mountain...

There are dark rumors about that mountain...

One does not simply walk over the mountain...

 

[bestbrian]

"Monsieur Maginot, about this wall you've built for us.... "

 

[TheMulattoMaker]

"Monsieur Maginot, about this wall you've built for us.... "

Actually, I think the mountain's dark secret is the key to unlocking the mysteries of the Stone Islands off the coasts of Marseilles and Lyons...

Spoiler :

...or maybe it's just a really really big atrium for those silk trees.

I was thinking more along the lines of Battleship Potemkin, but once again Stalin's empire collapses to the cultural power of [Egyptian] Blue Jeans.

Oh, Hi, Lemon.

Hi yerself, Mr. Invisible.

It's Saladin, and he's Muslim, and... he's buying pigs from me. So wrong...

 

[uat2d]

Jewish Hitler buying pigs would be even more awkward

 

[Mad Professor]

It's Saladin, and he's Muslim, and... he's buying pigs from me. So wrong...

But he's not paying very much. I'd suspect he's selling to the German for a profit...

Really, that's weird. I thought that excuse was for wonders. And I remember I once got Archery from him...

 

[Mad Professor]

I snap a pic every now and again but rarely post. Here's some from various games recently...

This is not quite Antiochus Epiphanes, but it's similar...



This is somewhat appropriate!



An invisible photocopier on wheels...?

 

[uat2d]

I don't get the first two, and the third one is just a shadow.

 

[j_mie6]

I don't get the first but the sceond, notice the great beast in scotland. it's Nessie

the thrid the point is the shadow which looks a bit like a photocopier and it is on the rails so it has wheels

 

[Mad Professor]

I don't get the first but the sceond, notice the great beast in scotland. it's Nessie

Correct

the thrid the point is the shadow which looks a bit like a photocopier and it is on the rails so it has wheels

Correct again - I don't know what it's a shadow of, but it really looks like the shadow of an invisible photocopier to me...

As for the first one, in around 160BC thereabouts, Greek ruler Antiochus Epiphanes sacrificed a pig to Zeus in the Jewish temple in Jerusalem. I guess he was looking for the most insulting way to greet the Jews... The first pic is the completion of the Satue of Zeus in a Jewish city. Perhaps that was a bit too subtle, or you had to know too much ancient history...

 

[CocoIsKing28]

Yeah that might be a bit to subtle
But great job in realizing that!

...says the guy with the bottom score.

Arranging for "Peace in our time" with Hitler is especially appropriate.

A screenshot from one of my pbem games ... my coastal city had recently lost its claims and was being bombarded and blockaded by 3 destroyers ... I only had 2 destroyers in the area but I had some expendable transports ... I cleaned out the destroyers (other player likes to name his units) and look who I got as a Great General as a result of the battles!
