No, it's not
Easy to defend, you have some fresh water, lots of mounains for mining (and thus possible good resources).
But you'll be growing very slowly

 

[LMR]

Yeah, my first reaction was "yay, what aaglo said!"

then i explored a bit, and found that i was boxed in on the tip of a peninsula

oh well, we'll see how it goes...

 

[Quinzy]

i think a bit of bee-lining towards ships is necesarry.

 

[mrtn]

Or just build a two-tile long road...

 

[Mr. Do]

How many of us have been playing Civ 4 so much that building roads in mountains now seems crazy?

 

[odintheking]

Civ what?

 

[Stormrage]

Heresy! Blasphemy! Ice-cream! You scream! Waaagh! No civ4 talk here, please

 

[LMR]

well, i found that estalia had already built three cities just over the mountains once i had built a "long road"

im sure this was answered before, but i cant remember. Are the elf civs getting a new starting unit? instead of building the elf spearmen straight away?

 

[Stormrage]

Those Estalians are so annoying!

I'd like to, but I'm not sure about gfx yet.


Any ideas for stats for Flying Carpet?

 

[aaglo]

well.. same as fell bats? available at... umm... battle magic?

 

[mrtn]

6 attack seems a bit low; the fell bat is a dumb animal, not a human clever enough to fly...

 

[LMR]

8 attack, then

 

[mrtn]

Hm, but most other mages are defensive units, maybe this should be that too?
Questioning like this helps me think, so I hope no one takes offense by me going "O rly?" all the time.

But, I doubt that I'll mod any more for a while, as I'm going to France on friday, and will spend most of tomorrow packing.

 

[LMR]

Im confused. is the magic carpet going to be a flying unit or a mage unit? or a special hybrid of the two?

Ayez l'amusement en France. Mais ne mentionnez pas la tasse du monde!

 

[aaglo]

Oh yeah really?¤%=&()WFT?%&=

Ok, Bon Voyage then

About the magik karpet: He could be flying attack-mage with defensive bombard and VETERAN KNIGHTS!

 

[LMR]

Have fun in France. But do not mention the World Cup!

and what's the "VETERAN KNIGHTS!" about? did i miss something?

 

[aaglo]

No, it's just a reference to a finnish guy, who expertised (in civ1 and civ2) in taking control of the whole world with veteran knights. He also had a signature "My words are backed with bad attitude and VETERAN KNIGHTS!"

 

[bigdog5994]

there was a civ 1 and 2??

Mrtn how close are to finishing it?

We'll see, that's why we're discussing it.

My French sucks, I'll have to get by with Swedish and English.

In civ 1 you could use the chariot. 4/1/2 stats.

There still is.

Mrtn how close are to finishing it?
