High Council

[Cunobelin Of Hippo]

Do any of you EVER talk to the high council? I rarely do, but I have concluded that the Military dude is definitely the coolest one, and I like his statement about putting the heads of our enemies on pikes!

Any objections?

Too violent! We should all make peace, not war with our next door civilizations.
Or atleast make love <IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/wink.gif" border=0>

I don't usually use them, but sometimes it can be fun hearing what they have to say.
And you right the military guy is the coolest, especially when hes drunk!!

I'd be a bit worried about anyone who TALKS TO the High Council! Listens to is maybe OK, but talks to??!

Check on them next time your go into anarchy. That is funny.

 

[Cunobelin Of Hippo]

Oh yeah, they're all yelling and waving their hands like idiots and the Elvis guy is slowing droping out of the picture as he begs you for luxuries. If Civ 3 wanted to have a humurous aspect, it could definitely be here: Just think of all the funny stuff they could say! But we'll save that for another thread, or I'll get chewed out.

 

[stellar converter]

lol. i like to listen to them. they are funny.

my favorite is the modren economic's guy

"this is you.. (one hand)
this is a clue (other hand)
(puts both hands together)
get a clue
discovery trade!"

 

[shadowdale]

I have never seen that one Fishhead!!!
But how on earth can you get a modern economy guy if you don't have trade

the council is great...

Have you ever tried to play civ2 when youre drunk with a friend... ITs really hillarious when you go to the coucil, and tries to argue with them. For some reason the military guy is usually satisfied... but i still would like the feature o killing of a counqered city...

I like it when you dont have enough citwalls and the military advisor asks if your going to defend your cities with haystacks. I want to build these haystacks of which he speaks

I am disrespectful to Dirt! Can you not see that I am serious?

 

[shadowdale]

Hmm I never build city wall, and there fore get that one all the time. I should actually lose most my cities in the wars I wage, but somehow it doesn't happen - wonder why

actually.. i dunno either hehe

but if you browser your CD, and open the one of the HC videos *it's one long video, the game just starts at different time frames* it's somewher in the middle

 

[Fishheads]

hehe i was board

Council2 at 2:37

 

[Leowind]

I usually just listen to them blather on only whenever they request an audience at the pre-ordained times. Gotten to where I can pretty well predict what they'll say. Haven't seen some of the ones mentioned here, however. Will have to check them out in anarchy next time. Sounds like fun

BTW I hate Foreign's totally fake French accent in modern times, and Science guy's totally over the top "clock-speed doubled micro-whatever, we're #1 in Science!" Wish there was a way to shut that one off midway through.

i love the high council! i wait to build barracks until after mobile warfare (unless i have to fight early) i focus on money and sience SO MY E=MC2 GUY AND MY "LETS DO LUNCH" GUY really love me but the military guy says "while the men are learning to play with their quill pens our soildiers must sleep on the palace steps, build barracks! oh and because i do not explore well the spie chick say she cannot abide this lack of resolve! i don't comand much respct evidently

[reezbot]

The military guy's funny when he is drunk and singing but the Council is pretty useless and stupid.

 

[Cunobelin Of Hippo]

I wish I could fire them. Or promote them: wouldn't it be cool to see that big fat dude talking about E=MC's, etc? And what is with the ponytail on the Modern Economic guy? Hippie!

 

[guderian]

Maybe in CivIII during anarchy they could have Elvis shooting up in the bathroom; or
for the Diplomacy wench they could have Cleopatra committing suicide with an asp.
For the military they could have Tojo trying
to shoot himself ( unsuccessfully ). For
science you could have King Kong swatting
at the airplanes; and finally for Trade you
could have Imelda Marcos on another shopping
trip for shoes.
