the "once and for all!" topic

The amount of time is based directly on the cost, so to say "not only cost" is somewhat misleading. And your example city is also misleading - yes, it's 2 turns for the first Longbow/Musketman, but the second would finish in a single turn for the Longbow, while still take 2 turns for the Musketman. As would the 3rd and 4th.

This is the funniest thing I've read at 3 am in a long time. Thanks guys / gals.


#105: The Alarm Clock function will save you from missing work / school / sleep / a date... maybe not the last one.
 
# 106: Cronulla are never going to be premiers...

# 107: Don't be a peaceful builder with Tokugawa, Shaka & Ragnar surrounding you...
 
#109: Don't hijack threads... If you want to discuss Polish Longbows defending against Hitler and their effect on an SE, invite everyone to visit your new thread. Or... use the search function to locate the 32 other threads of similar vein and post there.

#110: Realize not all people think like you, and thank God you don't think like me... It's OK to disagree and to argue, provided you respect the fact the other person may be right and that they may never accept your way of thinking. Agree to disagree and move on.

#111: Be nice.

#112: If you fail to be nice, your civilization will be "visited":

#113: Kill Izzy. ALWAYS. ASAP. Unless he has your religion... even then you should keep vigilant... it may not be enough to keep him (or his knife) off your back. (there are others too... Brennus, Tokugwa, HeyUwannaSixPak...)
 
# 114: The moment you think; "Oh, they're harmless..." you're dead, really if you think this, just quit.

You stole that from my official rulebook ;).....But him??????....If Izzy is a "him" that's got to be the best sex change in history....

#115:- Save at least one city ruin somewhere in your borders, this almost always gives you a research boost sooner or later.
 
I think ruins caused by eruption/volcano event also work, as game probably (?) does not make difference between city/event caused ruins.

Dead right, happened to me quite recently even though only slight compensation for losing 3 towns :mad:....obviously, if the ruins are in a cities "fat cross" eventually you will need the tile, but my tip was to leave it as long as possible....
 
#117

Save some cash..... there is nothing more [pissed] than losing a valuable building because you only have 1 gold left in treasury ( like a forge fire when building the collosus .... )
 
# 118

If you're a middling civ, don't save too much cash, though. It's no big deal if the big kid on the block demands 20 gold. A choice between 1000 gold and peace is considerably harder...
 
#27: StarCraft, Metroid Prime 3, Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Super Mario Galaxy are all better games than Civ4.
