Interesting Screenshots

I don't get either screenie.

I don't get either screenie.

the first one is how the AI used its army correctly, which doesn't happen that often, and the second is just showing how desperate a civ was for fresh water (even though it probably was in despotism)

The Arbiter wishes he had an XBox 360 so he could play Halo 3!

Amen, brother! Its just 400 bucks plus tax, but thats alot for 1 toy.

at those super-fast workers.

They're so fast they got done before they started!

yeah, I think I've had that happen, too. An example would be when you assign more than 3 workers to road a jungle tile, and then assign a bunch to clear that jungle tile in 2 turns. The next turn, assign more workers to clear jungle until it is gone. Then assign workers to road, and you will get a negative ETA for the road

I once spent nearly that much for a video card. Or even better I spent that much for 4megs of ram.

Neither is worth anything today.

i finally figured out how that happens! i feel accomplished

Did you get a Great Leader with the unit when it was a Guerrila but not rename it?

nope... i have only gotten 1 great leader in the entire game, and that was w/ a modern armor (sad, i know)

 

[Ansar]

TOW is named Guerrilla.

Might I ask, though: What's with the huge Japanese/Byzantine stacks?

 

[Taras Bulba]

they are Byzantine, no Japanese in this game...

The Byzantines are my closest ally in this game... im currently at war w/ 3 nations, America, Portugal, and The Netherlands. Byzantines, although doing nothing, have alot of useless troops (and a select few useful ones) floating around through what used to be Portugal, to get to the Dutch

As for the Aztecs... they are also my ally, at war w/ everyone... if you can find them, the Iroquois (used to be 1 city, but i gifted them 1 so they could have a coastal city) are also my ally, at war w/ the Americans and Portugese

 

[choxorn]

Well then, I have no idea what's causing the TOW to be named "Guerilla".

I usually don't get Great Leaders until Cavalry, and not very many (Usually, I don't get more than 2 or 3, and I think the record is 8, in my current game as the Romans- tiny compared to the number others have created) at that. Of course, I never seem to have a huge force of attacking elite units (The RNG is not kind with the Vet-Elite or the Elite-Elite* Promotions) But you seem to have been even less lucky.

 

[Taras Bulba]

But you seem to have been even less lucky.

well... i haven't really done much attacking... the only other war i have fought before i had a MASSIVE invasion of cavalry in Inca territory (the south part of my main island) and i used bombers to basically destroy all of the units in the cities to just walk in and take it...

For me, it depends if I get the Statue of Zeus.

Ancient Cavalry make great for attacking early in the game.

 

[choxorn]

Especially when combined with Gallic Swordsmen. Ah, it is so fun to play as the Celts, build the Statue of Zeus, and pwn everybody with a massive force of Gallic Swordsmen and Ancient Cavalry.

 

[Ansar]

I've never actually tried that...

The two being so alike...it's genius!

Anyways, here's one from my last game:

Thanks Netherlands! And right before I took over your capitol!

 

[choxorn]

The Dutch are so considerate, they built a decent Great Wonder For you!
