PIE's Ancient Mediterranean on Deity

[Manco Capac]

How do you call those institutions?

EDIT: Gotta return to the game. Don't want to end 3 AM.

 

[Manco Capac]

Oh wow. I did not know cottages allowed 5% defense. Additive. It's the only improvement allowing increased defenses. Why so? PIE?

 

[Manco Capac]

I wished I had shipbuilding tech. But no seafaring nations around from whom we steal their ships making secret. Celts cannot learn that secret by itself. Strategea mapscript has a lot of canals and ridgelines, creating isolated sections for those without shipbuilding.

 

[Manco Capac]

Here a screenie showing the keltic preponderance!

How do you call those institutions?

Junior College or Community College. Often they have vocational programs as well. You can get (2-year) Associate Degrees in certain fields which is like a certification. Often though, kids go there to prep/transfer to a 4-year institution in 1 or 2 years, with the JC/CC coursework translating mainly to "core" college coursework. I'd say there are likely 3 main reasons folks attend JC/CC 1) Financial 2) High School academic performance 3) Career goals don't require 4-year degree....also "close to home" could be a factor.

They can also be good/cheap way for professional adults out of Uni to pick up some additional certifications (like IT/computers)

We need a full report here, Tachy, so we know what is going on here

How would we get these techs we can't tech? Can you steal them through espionage.

 

[Manco Capac]

Will do. For now, there's a good screenie. If you want. I can upload the latest save while I play towards Lydia's capital conquest. That's the end of my turnset. I got so many bad events since the beginning of the game (except the useless fish tech and the wonderful buggy duplication of Trojan Horse, which I haven't found the explanation).

BTW, I opted a duck instead of a cute kittie this time. It was funny when a duck roamed near me at the job. That was, like, so random. Usually, it's bobbing pigeons, not ducks. There was a diver, like on the canadian dollar.

 

[Manco Capac]

Tough luck, I lost Fred the Mighty at 24% on the defensive. This game is still sh-tting crap on me.

 

[Manco Capac]

Looks like Fred the Mighty has been ressurrected through keltic arcanes. (A chariot killed a hero chariot).

 

[Manco Capac]

Oh mah gawd! What the hell!!! Nawwww!

 

[lymond]

must.....not...lose...Fred......and..........Parsifal !!!!

 

[Manco Capac]

Again! Whyyyyy?

 

[Manco Capac]

I can't believe the strike of bad luck striking us. Not only the Minoan Labyrinth got destroyed like a regular building, but when I saw a GProphet kicked out of the Lydian capital and attacked while being guarded with a companion dog, well, it also got destroyed.

Pierre Vauk! Repair those gross bugs. It is simply gross!!!!

 

[lymond]

Are you having a conversation with yourself there, Tachy?

...or am I supposed to interpolate


check out the necro fasciitis on General....wow

 

[Manco Capac]

Well, we have lost a freebee GProphet and Labyrinth of Minos through bugs. Sadly. And as a fair player, I have to clench my fists and swallow it. That wonder was simply marvelous for a large conquest of the world. All remains is Abu Simbel, which I could use that GProphet for a >14 turns GAge. Simply gross.

I have noticed this bug about destroyed units that should be captured when guarded by a capturable unit.

It becomes obvious to me there was not a single serious player testing this mod before. Just a bunch of casual players. *rage rage rage*

 

[lymond]

I don't fully comprehend what happened with the GP, but wonders should not be destroyed if you capture a city, unless Pie specifically intended for that to happen.

I think the wonder should be added back in WB, unless it actually is not a wonder. (I've not heard of it) (edit: Not of heard of it in the game...I've actually been to it)

 

[Manco Capac]

Last decision before finishing turnset. I will destroy Lydia. I thought make peace and take a tech, but I reconsider. His last city is really weak and now is the chance to erase Creosus off the Earth. Each city has a prob for stolen tech, so I may get a free tech!
Will direct my research on a tech Hatty doesn't have, so I can trade.

 

[lymond]

Destroy the Crouton! I'm not familiar with this stolen tech mechanic. Still a few mod mechanics I don't have down.

 

[Manco Capac]

Crouton's head on a pole.

Will do a proper description of what happened tomorrow. Needs a proper night.

I left you an empire struck by popular rage and riots.

I gotta admit destroying Croesus didn't help in the tech department. Now, Hatshe doesn't want to tech trade several techs she was willing to a bit earlier.

I recommend you now to reharness the economy first, then make a small visit to female Ragnar for more slaves. She's so weak and so abusable.

 

[lymond]

I left you an empire struck by popular rage and riots.

I would not have it any other way

Bonne nuit!

 

[Manco Capac]

And all the gaulish people feasts upon the victory. Around a table, devouring big parts of wild boars.
