Hmm..What are Advisors:confused:

[Ahovking]

OK



Advisors are making a return to Civilization V......... OK i have only been playing civilization (the greatest Turn-Based Strategy of all time) since 2007 when i was back in year 8 and Advisors ???? scared tell my how do they work back in Civ 1,2 and so on.

one-unit-per-hex restriction
OK..OK we know that now city can defense there self OK not to shore how powerful the cites are going to be? maybe the more bigger the stronger?
NO MORE "stack of doom" NOOOOOOO MY 30 MEN STRONG ARMY ARE GONE IM GOING TO HAVE TO BUILD PLANES NOW LOL

And battles are now the basic components of victory and without a clear direction you can win every fight and still lose the game(now that cool i think)

Wow, that is one of the most confusing posts I have ever read.

I think you're trying to ask how advisers worked in previous versions of civilization, as well as apparently getting distracted from this train of thought and just spewing unfettered conciousness onto the thread.

Anyway, as far as advisers go - in previous versions they have served partly as a tutorial style aid (to point players in the directions of things they need to think about) and it is also possible that they will be used in the place of the notification dialogues (for things like cities requiring new build orders).

It is unlikely that they will make a significant difference from the perspective of a seasoned player, but hopefully they will help new players understand the game quicker.

The classic advisers were in Civ II and mostly provided entertainment. Their actually advise was seldom even relevant to the situation. Many considered them a waste of time but I never tired of them.

Advisors were mostly just a graphical component that adorned the info screens and the popups. If a city produces a military unit in civ 4, you get a popup telling you so and perhaps the option to change production, depending on your settings. If so, some unit will be suggested.

In civ 2 and 3, you got the same thing, only there was a little guy on top of the box - the military advisor. It was basically just a flavour thing, but flavour adds a lot to the game.

I don't remember any live actor advisors in civ 2 or 3 ... that must be from Test of Time, which I never played.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Well if you guys play civ rev, they serve as notifications, like if someone is building the world bank, the foreign advisor will go ____ is building the World bank. the science advisor popped up to ask what techs u need. alot of comic relief since they will often fight against each other

Perpetual drunkenness?

I thought that was the Irish or Russian stereotype

You are my hero White Elk. That "Viva la vida" one was pretty sweet too. Now I'm all nostalgic.

The only version with live actors was the original Civ 2. Test of Time had this feature removed.

 

[timtofly]

Must be why they don't work when I play Civ II with a TOT game disk. LOL

I still love these guys. as the post above says, I never tire of them! I miss them. Weak minded eunich!

most of these I never heard as my empire was always pretty well in good shape, so I never heard the bad messages.

There's an invention called writing.

edit: Modern age ones are the best. I love the modern age military advisor. "Not so fast beaker boy" Science guy is cool too. "Like a clockspeed double microchip sir. We're number 1 in Sciieence!!"

glad I'm not the only one confused. I could only respond based on the title.

Not to disparage young people, but I notice this alot from young people (especially on world of warcraft forums etc). I'm by no means great at writing English (it was my worst subject in school), but I try my best regardless. I notice young people with the worst English. Sometimes I think they purposely make their posts even more confusing to be "cool". It's like they want to speak in code to affirm their status as a hip young person. Problem is us adults can't respond to it because we haven't a clue what he's talking about.

Sometimes I think maybe these people are chinese or whatever, but in this case Washington seems to be his homestate. Has our american school system gotten that bad? (that was a rhetorical question btw)
