This is the thread for term 4 nominations for Secretary of War
 
I nominate Robboo:king:
 
I accept the nomination...Thanks to Swissy and Bengeance for the nomination.

If anyone has any questions I will answer them.
 
In your opinion what are the chances of us going to war this term? (if you were playing this game single player)
 
I would say decent chances.

The AIs will soon be boxed in by the sea and other nations borders and will soon start to eye other resources and territory right outside their borders. We also have a very low power number right now and we can be seen as easy prey by the AI. So I would expect them to declare war on us when they have no other option of expanding except with conquest.

I( in one player) would not be ready to go to war until we have catapults since the higher culture value of some of the older cities are up to and higher than 40% (Mongolian capitol had a 35% or higher if I remember right)

Thanks for your question.
 
No problem, its open to future runners as well

also, if need be how would you fight a war pre catapults?
 
Offensive war....First before war starts..( turn zero of war) we demand gold from the soon to be attacked civ. Stops unit upgrades. Axes to kill units in the open, swords for city attack and chariots to cut roads and pillage. Spears in the stack to kill mounted units.( also like spear medics) Pairs of archers to garrsion each city that we take to keep running forward with the "offensive units". Damaged units heal in captured city to avoid cheap pick offs by enemy..




Defensive..axes to kill units and garrion cities, Chariots to cut roads and resources deep within enemy territory..a few swords may follow if we find a weaken city to counter attack. ( Bring the fight to them..they might back off) Spears in each city to defend against mounted units. Use terrain to our advantage by placing swords and axes on forested hills to strike their units prior to them reaching our cities
 
Dear Candidate,

(Please note that my status for asking this is unappointed, unelected, unconfirmed, unapproved, un-JR'd and uncoordinated).

Some members of the Idiots Partee would like to ask:

Section A (please answer both questions)
A1. What is your favourite beverage and snack?
A2. What's the weirdest color you have ever seen come out of your body? (Marks will be deducted for ANY explanation whatsoever)

Section B (please answer one or more questions)
B1. "Religion, politics and war are inevitably linked throughout human history." Discuss this statement with reference to the Civ IV game mechanics and your personal philosophy on life in no more than 5 words. You get a bonus mark if one of those words is 'fedora'.
B2. Discuss the evil doers of Scooby Do, the original series in no more than 10 words. Compare and contrast their motives with those of Joseph McCarthy and Yosef Stalin.
B3. In ten words or less, are the Idiots a result of nature or nurture?

Thank you
 
Thats up to the people...but yeah I would and have. Just depends on the goal of the war. I never fight unless I have specific goals and I hope our country would do the same.

We need roughly 6 swords, 3 axes, and 3 chariots to take out the Mongolian capitol...( as long as they dont have horse or iron or trade for them) If we can replace losses with the production of our cities, we can end the Monogolians. Problem is our production is too slow to get up to those levels within the few TCs.
 
Oldbus and fellow idiots...

A1. Abita Beer..Made in Louisiana my home state... "Turbo dog" is the name sorta Guinness-like. I have at least one Abita beer a day..keeps the doctor away. Snack..popcorn..I eat it by the pound usually with the beer. Dang it now I am hungry...already got the beer .:mischief: LSU vs Duke in a few hours. Geaux Tigers.

A2. Bluish-green-purplish..indescribable...:eek:

B3. I come from a long line of idiots...so Nature.

Did I pass?:crazyeye:
 
Dear Candidate, do you plan to order your troops to burn and pillage any enemy cities we raid? If so, please explain what conditions you look for to decide whether to burn the city. If not, what would you do if you found a local commander burned the city without orders?
 
No burning unless the citizens say burn it. Its a serious issue similar to slavery. Only exception is if the city isnt big enough to not "self-burn".

If you mean local commander( as in DP)..citizens will decide his fate. But I would recommend the max penalty.

If you mean unit in the game..he gets to lead the charge into the next city where he should meet a just fate.
