The Biggest, Baddest Unit

[aziantuntija]

It's only a long thread because of aziantuntija

Hey thanks m8

Im sure nobody else doesnt have absolutely anything to do with it

But i must say that you arent exactly making this thread any shorter

 

[robcheng]

Yeah. I thought you might like that.

I love it. But the image doesn't show the "Gatling gun arms" mentioned in the civpedia article. MUST. HAVE. GATLING. GUN. ARMS.

 

[Mustakrakish]

YES! CONGRAZULATIONS YOU HAVE GOT IT!

Nope. It's you who didn't seem to get it. First you rant about it being stupid and it shouldn't be in the game, simply because YOU don't like it. Then you gradually changed to limiting eras, which is reasonable in the gameplay sense (to which I answered that it would be reasonable. It didn't "take long". YOU seemed to miss it. I reposted it again in my previous post just for you to see it AGAIN.) and many people would agree I think.

But yet after that:

"I see no point of continuing this discusson with Altaria87 or SickFak."

To which I posted a wavey hand and a nice picture of Joker with the quote "Why so serious?" (Which you didn't seem to get btw) with the intention to comply to your wishes and not discuss it with you further. But you seemed to "find the point" to continue the discussion with me after all.

And then you just go on ranting how you want them out period with only your opinion as the reason (like the world circulates around you). While people try to tell you that you need to have something more to your opinions. But so far "the ending era" was the only reasonable suggestion, which I believe I'm not the only one to recognize as reasonable in the sense of GAMEPLAY.

Lets look this again:

Yeah humor is certainly not for everyone as you stated Im not sure are you seeing it the way i am but i doubt that

"Sure you can see it any way you want, as long as you're happy... "

See we can go in circles here...

Robotics is the way of the future, anyone who disagree's is less intelligent than an ameba.

You've shot yourself in the foot with that sentance. Even I can spell and punctuate better.

On a more serious note, I don't think GDRs will be anything more than a novelty footnote, as if you are still playing in that era, you are probably headed for a time victory anyway.

Scifi units are so dramatic change to the series that Firaxis MUST somehow make them optional. As i told everyone before, im personally fine with the option to stop the game advancing in choosen era, it sounds very good.

Woah woah, what? They MUST? They don't have to do anything. Just because not including a warrior unit would have been such a dramatic change to the series, does not mean it must be included. Very poor logic. I think we all agree that choosing different ages to stop/start is a great idea, but that is and should be your only option.

And as far as a future tech unit that is optional to build be so far out of the main stream as to not but included in Civ....well that doesn't really hold water either. Civ's 1-3 have had "The cure for cancer" as a bonus under the Genetic's tech. That's definitely a future tech. Every Civ game ever has had an amazingly efficient SDI building/wonder/tech that is certainly something in the future.

Every single Civ game has had an interstellar spaceship design that is build-able, and a victory condition, and that is FAR more futuristic than a mechanized military robot.

Civ 2 had a Solar Plant that you could build, which at the time was "futuristic". Even now Solar Power technology is not equal at the same cost to the energy output that we can generate from Coal or Nuclear power, though that may change in the future.


You see, there's always been something in the future. For whatever reason you think a mechanized robot(of some sort) brings the house down, even though it is far more plausible than interstellar flight, an amazing SDI system, the Cure for Cancer(all variants), and perhaps even a compact and efficient Solar Power plant on par with Nuclear energy.

You are a funny little guy SickFak

If you would even look at the dates when ive posted this then you would propably understand something

If mechs are in base game, i propably want a option to stop going further in technology at the era that i choose. I might want to try them out but i definetly would like the option that i told.

So its not exactly a new thing for me. Just go to that thread and look at the date of that post No it wasnt today

If you would just understand what im saying here we wouldnt need to continue this discusson.

What a funny little guy you are

 

[Leoking]

So if thats the most badass unit in the game then whats the 2nd? Can it atleast have a chance defending agaisnt it. Also how many of them can you biuld at a time?

 

[Mustakrakish]

But you must also understand that loving scifi units in civ game is ALSO just a opinion and there is NOTHING more to back it up.

There is this little fact that the ones who make the game decided so. Not so of a nothing by far.

Scifi units are so dramatic change to the series that Firaxis MUST somehow make them optional.

Unreasonable. No they don't.

As i told everyone before, im personally fine with the option to stop the game advancing in choosen era, it sounds very good.

This again, reasonable. It does sound like a good compromise.

Woah woah, what? They MUST? They don't have to do anything. Just because not including a warrior unit would have been such a dramatic change to the series, does not mean it must be included. Very poor logic. I think we all agree that choosing different ages to stop/start is a great idea, but that is and should be your only option.

This. So very much this.

I like it as long as it doesn't lead to:

Spearman defeats GDR.

 

[Le Sage]

Does anyone know if the function that you can choose in which era to stop the game has been confirmed?

In that case, we who don't want the robot can sleep well tonight after all. I don't like the cartoon robot. I'd rather have had more real historically based units instead.

I bet there will be a function to stop progress in a chosen era though, so it's really meaningless to raise hell just because some of us don't like that transformer.

 

[aziantuntija]

Ok some of you guys are totally loosing all control of your sayings. Its hilarious i give you that but its not very constructive.

But to Koolhan i must say that we are not talking about realism. If you would of read my posts and not just start pointing your finger and yelling you would propably know that by now. Your just way of my little friend

 

[aziantuntija]

This.

 

[Darth Caesar]

I have an idea. How bout' we SHUT UP AND ADMIRE THE AWSOME GDR.
On a lighter note I think this is one of the most awsome things to happen to ciV. And it's also a sign that Firaxis listens to there communities spam.

They are not a dramtic change they are a logical step forward, all the civ games have futuristic techs, or buildings or wonders, units is the next logical step to have a fully balanced future era, rather than dipping your toes into the pool of the future before running from the edge shrieking. To recap its logical to have scifi units in civ.

I'm sure if you want a pure no scifi game, you can yourself or have someone else mod civ V so that the scientific victory is the manhattan project, so that basically the game ends around the 1950's which seems to be where your firmly rooted.

When have they ever made a single unit optional? Maybe if you include the spy unit when espionage is turned off in IV, but the spy is part of a concept and set of rules not a single combat unit.

I'm fairly certain it will not be a clickable option on release like some people want. However, as others have already said someone will probably mod it to a "super tank" or mod it out of the game completely, so this whole argument is utterly pointless.
