Report from Ann Cooltah.com

All of America is wringing it hands and blaming everyone but the liberals for our impending defeat in the war on... the world - yet its these very liberals that have been most resposible for undermining our beloved leader George W and his Generals - as I look over the state of our nation today I note that, despite our proud General Patraeus having 64 XPs the liberal Mainstream Media still has not found it in their soul to build a HEROIC EPIC to this greatest of GG's.

As always they would rather give comfort and succour to Spain and our other enemies.

God help America and all who sail in her...

Great read!

I ran through a similar thing on Noble, just to see how the AI would cope with that (monarch's a bit tough for the AI IMO). Slightly bizarrely, if you automate everything and only build what your advisors advise, you'll be given the option to build the space elevator, but never Apollo or any SS parts.

Seems like Sid doesn't want you to win the game

Again, top notch thread, SB.

Bush might be a dumbass, but he's not an apocalyptic dumbass.

Great read man, it's kinda funny to see the AI act smarter itself than it's own recommendations .

Well the game is monarch... The monarch AI get alot of bonuses compared to the humans. They become alot more vissible when you play like an AI though i am not sure if the AI would follow the advisor advice all the time...

 

[SnowlyWhite]

the other problem being the fact that the ai when playing for himself, is in a certain "mode". For instance, he decides to declare, wheoohrn, starts building units. While the advisor can't guess what you want to do, so, until you declare, he won't suggest that many units, and if you declare, well... you'll notice you didn't prebuild the units

then he'll suggest units, obviously, but... it's abit late

best thread ever, hands down

I agree. kudos, slobberinbear

 

[vicawoo]

This is why you should ignore The People and do what's good for them. Our cities are disease ridden! Shove it, more military!

 

[CLST]

Bit of a twist at the end.

 

[NintendoTogepi]

Brilliant thread!

 

[slobberinbear]

Thank you for reading. To paraphrase Churchill (now sitting in his fallout shelter, no doubt) in referring to Dubya's team of advisors:

"Never have so few done so little for so many."

PRESS RELEASE - FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION

The Hamptons, NY Effective immediately, the League of Business Leaders Organized Against Taxation (BLOAT) is to disband and cease all operations. All members will resume their humble private lives, looking back on a job well done.

The chairman of the former League, Max Grabb, explains: "While we applaud the resolve and strength shown by our former President, it turns out that Operation Spoilsport has greatly accelerated the progress of the League and has made it unnecessary for us to continue with our noble task. Always on the forefront of the expansion of Free Trade and Free Enterprise, the League has in the past depended on our overseas trading partners to provide our patriotic corporations with endless supplies of needy consumers and dirt-cheap affordable slaves Free Enterprise Employees. An unexpected byproduct of our recent military endeavors is, however, that our prospective employees and customers are now extraordinarily incapacitated and our overseas Freedom Factories are reduced to glowing parking lots and rubble. With no one left to covert to our philosophy, all that is left of the Free World is now happily enjoying the fruits of our labor, thus ending our enduring mission in success."

Members of the League have indicated they will turn their attention to other activities, most importantly the providing of continued support to their local golf courses. Former league member Zack O. Gold comments: "With all the generous donations we've received from our Treasury Department over the years in mind, it's fair to say that me working on my golf swing right now really is 'your tax dollars at work.' Fore!"

Awesome ending, bear! As for the real Dubya, he's just a pawn for his corporate cronies and he does a great job of attracting media attention away from them with his idiocy. As much as they love wartime profits, I don't think turning the world into a massive toaster oven would help them either so we're probably safe from that at least.

I'm not referring to slobberinbear, ass.

 

[Og The Caveman]

That's exactly how my dad used to play Civ IV vanilla. He didn't bother to study the game mechanics ("What's the difference between commerce and gold?") or even think during the play and always relied on the tech advisors. He played on Chieftain, though, so he never lost a single battle..

So horrible to watch how stupid the advisors are, but still, great humour, slobberinbear *thumbs up*

 

[Crowqueen]

Well done Slobberinbear. Pity you didn't stick it out to the bitter end, but then again, if my sources are correct, you might be right there...who knows. I expect to see you revisit this thread in January to receive a medal for the most prescient Civver ever...

 

[madscientist]

This RPC sir was utter greatness!!!! Kudos to a very entertaining read!!!

 

[Kev]

My GOD, with AI decisions like this why do I not CRUSH them every time on Monarch?

Stayed late at work to read this. That's saying something!
