The best advance

[stellar converter]

"attack is the best defense..."

one cant win the game by defense. also, thunder, where is that .net site where...austin was "raggin'", if you will, on this site?

 

[VanillaCube]

the best defence is a good offence and I plan to offend everyone!

hahahahaha! thats funny VC, your score is now 20pts

I just love armor units so I would say Mobile Warfare. Altough it doesent give that much.

The best advance is without a doubt automobile. When using the super growth strat, it doubles the output of all your cities once you build super highways.

 

[vladmir_illych_lenin]

I don't think there is a best advance because one advance leads to another, so if automobile is good, you can't research it if you don't have steam engine or something, so you might say the steam engine is better, and so on. Vanillacube your really funny!

 

[scorch]

yeah true, but generally if you are getting techs so u can specifically get that tech then yeah....

 

[VanillaCube]

I always go for philosohy first (I know thats not how you spell it!)

I agree with vanilla on this one. Philosophy can give you a slight edge at an early stage in the game (free advance) and besides its the backdoor for comunism which allows the building of the UN ,my all time favorite wonder.

 

[vladmir_illych_lenin]

UN is like the modern version of the great wall. I'm not sure what you get with the UN, but with the great wall, your cities get free walls until a certain tech is discovered.

Not really. The UN is more like the modern version of Marco Polo's embassy. Free embassies with all nations, plus the extra goodies like forcing peace and declaring war as a democracy.

 

[vladmir_illych_lenin]

oh yeah that's what it was. It's like the great wall, except instead of free walls, you get free embassies. how do you declare war as a democracy? i used to do it by continually demanding tribute, but you can't do that anymore in democracy.

I usually always win by war because
a) its the most fun in my oppinion
b) I usually crush the ememy
c) its funny when the enemy has only one city left, and when i decline a ceasefire, they say "Your isolence must be punished. Prepare for WAR!"-even though i'm about to conquer their undefended city.

 

[VanillaCube]

You would think the one city would the the art of sucking up to live!
But noooooo there still as stupid as ever!
but I think its funner when they tell me that they shall send there "MIGHTY ARMYS" to drive me out!
or when you ask to trade tec with them and you already have all the tec they say "our Tecnology has advaned FAR behond anything you might comprehend"!

But sometimes they say:
"We are but a humble peacloving nation. If you let us live in peace we will offer you all our gold and money, blah blah blah"

And if you say no:

"Our patience is exhasted. Our mighty armies are mobilized for WAR!"

 

[VanillaCube]

The weird thing is there mighty armys always seem to be invisable!
mabey they did not get the letter that told them that there armys were destroyed!
It must be the mail systems fault!

Yeah, you've heard of how slow the infamous US mail is. But I never heard about the aztec mail, or the Zulu mail
