Igor1, The Dawn of the Idiots

:lol:

I was just about to post that M60 would rate himself as a 5-6, when in reality that would be undercutting himself about 3 ranks. I underestimated his modesty a bit I guess.

@Tomo - Nice choice of avatars to represent with. :)

@Bede - We may be a Motley Crue, but I am very interested to see how our playing skills (in my case, lack thereof) mesh together. :p

@AK - Will this thread become a sort of 'maintenance thread", or will you use this one for the other team?

So we are going with France, right? Ought to be fun (it always is).

@ whomp - I request starts with both teams in the same location with the same 12 AI opponents. is this too much? If you DL the starts, I'll put up the pix.

Did you mean Tubby?

And how does that make you 6-7 ?! :eek: Deity ability is 8+ ... :worship:

I guess I'm not taking into account the CivAssist 2 factor. A must-have in my book. That can bring everyone's ability up by about 2-3 notches.

For the start position, I presume that for MMSFM's benefit it's about where Fenway Park is. :lol:
 
Never tried those proggies, they kinda break my conception of the "magic" of the game. But what do they do that's really useful, which you can't have with some work on the F screenies? Flip chances, tiles-to-go for dom, is that it? Do they give live coverage of Sox scores (that would justify their use for many people I know that don't even CIV :D)?

If they could do that, I might actually PAY for it. :D

No, they don't do much more than you said, unless you count saving countless hours as doing something.....
 
In my solo games, I actually play like I would in Star/WarCraft: APM carzying the necessary micro and thinking through the strategy and the unit movement micro; little about cities prod and stuff. I'm surprised every time I win above Emperor, hearing everyone doing so much micro and playing for hours and hours ...

For instance, my last solo game was DG Iroquois space blitz vs 7 sci on std 40% pangea. I microe'd very carefully my first 3 cities to maximize the settler/worker/food output, but stopped all kind of actually intensive city micro past 2K BC (launched in 1418) and bagged the game in less than 7h if I remember correctly. About trades, once I catched up (Education/Invention), I just gifted techs to whoever 2 led the AI tech pace to bait them to their favorite optionnals, so I could research something useful and let them lose their time.

So from my point of view, it doesn't do much, since I either spend a few careful turns at a SG and know who has what all the time or play carelessly. And m60's post made me wonder if it helped in that way - considering I wouldn't check it more often than I push F4 :lol: but thanks for clearing it up.
 
One thing I'll mention is that it lets you calculate the cost of a scientific advance right down to the last beaker. So your use of research gold in conjunction with specialists is more efficient. The other thing is the F4 screen in particular is very time consuming as you have to move from one leader to another. With CA2 or similar product, on a spreadsheet you can see who has what on a single page. I don't really see that as revealing a magic trick, it just makes negotiating easier.
 
congrats B-E-F on your new cadet status :party:
i need someone to do the chores around this here academy. toothbroshing the walls aint all that much groovy. and i keep losing that brush (i am an aspiring idiot, you know ;))
about time im not bottom of the food chain.
come to think of it (heres another starnge thing, thinking...) BEARS are anything BUT bottom of the food chain...
so i guess its back to looking for that tooth brush :D
 
In my calculations for teams I had M60 as an 8. Anytime LK lets you play in the world map diety games, we are talking 8+.
 
Indeed, trying to imagine a vegetarian polar bear on a diet is just wrong.
 
@ all - I reviewed tubby's (muy cupable) efforts in a little more detail last night. he's got us playing a 132x134 or something close to that. Everyone okay with the larger than usual map? IIRC, it has 16 or 18 AI. Everyone cool with that? the other team's first city should be the green monster.

@ BEF & SW. SW, you've been assigned as the cadet platoon leader. NO HAZING. Any discipline problems take to Commandant of Cadets, M60. :lol: I'll try to get some starts up soon. Maybe we can start early after I kill Handy15 (that's gonna require lots of time on the 2 brain cells). I'm fearful of what the grumpy people will do to me after multiple city loses. :crazyeye:

This thread will be the one for team b after we start. Idiots don't have maintenance issues, we just go find new parts. :)

@ all - magic calculators are fine. mapstat and/or civassistII
 
@ mistfit, if you're lurking, may we please have a banner like team a? You want the first born or is one of the minor idiots enough in return? :lol: seriously, credit in the sig for at least 30 days.

@ romeo - tried to look at the pix, got told it wasn't a valid address? :confused: Anyway, saw your engagement photo. Don't see what she sees in you.. ;) Have fun with the new life. :goodjob:
 
the two teams aren't starting in the same place, but we're playing the same opponents on emperor. for the F10 challenged, the opponents are rome, egypt, greece, babs, germany, russia, china, america, japan, india, persia, aztecs. zulu, iroquois, england.

i've delagated this to igor so hopefully the save corresponds to the image. :crazyeye:
 
@ MV - too much green. try it with a black background. Re the civs, I just kinda started at the top and went down the list. Seems like it should be a decent list. but, I'm willing to reroll if igor has f'd this up.... :)
 
Sounds like a lot of early UU's, hopefully a bunch that we won't have to meet :rolleyes:
The green would be ok if it didn't drag my attention completely off of the images and text. So that makes the green disposeable.
 
BTW, if this starts anytime soon, place me on semi autoskip, bump after 24 without mercy. I just will lurk here and there, but I feel it will happen more and more often that I think I have a free night Civ'ing and I get 2-3 calls.
