Light In The East: Civs Of The Orient(And Beyond)

[GPuzzle]

Oh quiet you, you heard JFD you're all the same to us across the channel. You're just lucky I'm bothering to separate the two types of European.

There's three types of Europeans - the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Depending on whether or not the UK gets a referendum on whether or not to leave, I fear it'll soon just be bad and ugly.

Don't forget the French - who are basically all three except also bad at war and only good if they're Louis

Hope no one's French here...

Has David Cameron consulted his intermediate geography teacher about this decision?

The might of the British Empire scoffs in the face of intermediate geography. We made the maps in the first place, we can damn well rewrite them if we so please. We're just going to untether blighty and allow her to float around the world with the seasons so we can stay in a perpetual summer, with the Falklands following close behind with a Union Jack painted on them and 'Screw you Argentina' carved into the surface so it can be seen from space.

It's going to follow the sun to the sun will never, ever, ever set on the British Empire.

Damn. Wish I had Philip II's leaderscene right now

I am Swiss French! And I heartily approve!

Joking... I really don't get why the French aren't liked here.

 

[COF]

Guys, stahp. Leif is just waiting around the corner to delete all these posts.

 

[JFD]

Yeah, Civitar and GPuzzle and anyone else basically not me

Anyway, how is Laos coming along? Don't you have all the art?

 

[COF]

Yeah, most art is done except for the UU I believe. Issue is that the model for the UU is keeping it back so yeah, until that is resolved we won't be making progress.

 

[Urdnot_Scott]

Ahh leif is 2spooky will git back on track.

I didn't realise Laos was so close, did we ever hear anything about the design?

 

[Natan35]

You plan a Leif Erickson civ don't you....
(Ohhhhhhh that Leif... Nevermind)

 

[regalman]

Lan Xang Hom Khao: For every +10 Faith you produce, receive an Elephant Strategic Resource. Each copy of Elephants you possess confers a +5% combat boost to your Mounted Units. +5 Faith in the Capital during a Golden Age.

I'm excited for Laos myself. After all, Sukritact whips up some awesome stuff (like this UA).

 

[COF]

Yeah basically just a bunch of elephants.

 

[Natan35]

Can you trade them?

 

[COF]

Yeah, in theory. But why would you?

 

[shaglio]

Hope no one's French here...

Gedemo?

 

[Urdnot_Scott]

I like that design, how much effort would it be to add say +1 golden age point per Elephant resource or something similar? I think it'd round things out nicely. Also, I definitely think the amount of faith needed to get an elephant needs to be dramatically increased or it'll essentially be obsolete by turn 50. If you had 3 cities each with a shrine and a temple, you'd get an elephant every turn, so thats +100% cavalry strength within 20 turns of that setup - a bit absurd. I mean the Grand Temple alone would generate 2 elephants every 3 turns.

 

[Natan35]

Yeah, I build Stonehenge every game or so.

 

[Viregel]

I've been listening to this a fair bit recently. Pretty nice song. Might even work as a peace theme. I just wonder which civ could possibly use it...
