Random Rants LX: I wish to register a complaint

[Lohrenswald]

@Snerk
I was at one of those last year
Took forever, I left before it was done
social life at the university went down the drain afterwards

 

[Snerk]

Yeah but this one had prizes and sht for the winners.

 

[Takhisis]

If you stick to one answer, you're bound to eventually get it right. Just answer the same to every question in the game.

 

[choxorn]

1upt please.

Yeah, 1upt is best. I can't tell what the hell is going on in that map.

Blasphemy! Burn these heretics against true Civ!

 

[Takhisis]

They probably even want Settlers and Workers to have no population cost.

 

[bhavv]

15 War Elephants, 2 Crossbowmen and 3 Pikemen. What an interesting choice of units.

The 3 pikemen were upgraded quechas with combat 1 & CR3. The two Xbows are there to defend against spears / pikes.

 

[Antilogic]

1upt please.

Yeah, 1upt is best. I can't tell what the hell is going on in that map.

I wish a 1,000 person stack would punch you guys in the D.

 

[Lohrenswald]

I wish a 1,000 person stack would punch you guys in the D.

That's so unrealistic though. I mean, a space elevator made by tanks stacked on top of eachother? Come on

 

[Snerk]

I wish a 1,000 person stack would punch you guys in the D.

They would all die from their fall or be crushed.

I have no patience for stacks. Send SoDs to the scrapheap of history please.

Rant: I no longer have access to a PC that'll comfortably run Civ5.

 

[Civ'ed]

Blasphemy! Burn these heretics against true Civ!

I've always found civ I to be when the game truly jumped the shark

Rant: I no longer have access to a PC that'll comfortably run Civ5.

Go and play Civ IV then.

 

[Snerk]

Go and play Civ IV then.

Once you go 1upt, you never go back!

 

[Samson]

Once you go 1upt, you never go back!

You could try a mod that has 1upt. I enjoy ROM AND quite a bit, though I do not use the restricted stack sizes.

 

[Arakhor]

Given that said mod is still Civ IV, you don't want to reduce stack size below 10 upt or so.

 

[Valka D'Ur]

Well, it seems that the sock-eating monster is at it again… I am experiencing a weird case of having half-pairs of socks.

As others have said, get socks all in the same color.

Or... if anyone points out that you have odd socks on, just smile and say, "Aren't they great? I have another pair just like it at home."


These are my solutions for when I had a cat who decided to use socks as surrogate kittens, and for some reason would only "adopt" one half of every pair.

 

[bhavv]

1UPT is the single worst thing that ever happened to the Civ series, for the single reason that it made the AI 100% useless:


Link to video.

The best solution so far was stack limits and group combat as implemented in the Call to Power series, something so simple that firaxis yet fail to realize or implement.

All civ games after 4 have been purely rubbish in terms of AI competency. They are however vastly more fun for combatless city building / sim city style gameplay since you don't have bother with defense in the slightest bit.

 

[bhavv]

As for todays rant - other forums which spam you with emails everyone someone replies to a thread you posted in. Even more worse when such a forum has no opt out setting or the opt out setting doesn't work.

Once I resorted to reporting the messages from a microsoft forum as spam for flooding my inbox with 50+ emails daily, only to then find myself permabanned for reporting them as spam (I had already tried opting out of notification emails, and it carried on bombarding me with them).

I don't even understand why such a thing is allowed, or which forum creators think its such a nice feature to force onto everyone using their forum.

 

[Takhisis]

^Then go and play SimCity then.

As others have said, get socks all in the same color.

Or... if anyone points out that you have odd socks on, just smile and say, "Aren't they great? I have another pair just like it at home."

Heh, heh, heh.

These are my solutions for when I had a cat who decided to use socks as surrogate kittens, and for some reason would only "adopt" one half of every pair.

Rolled up or just a random, eventually shapeless sock?

 

[bhavv]

Or how about I carry on playing Civ IV?

I'm not the one defending the absolute crap that is 1UPT.

 

[Takhisis]

Oh, no. You should be punsihed for all eternity or twenty turns, whichever lasts longer, for even suggesting that the iteration of civ you prefer is not the same as the one I prefer.
