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

Oh yes - the knight being 4/2/2, it must have been civ2 then

 

[Stormrage]

Meh, in my current game, the only faction that can build knightly orders, Westerland, just built all 4 of them... I`m affraid my Dervishes aren`t enough to stand against their might. Not when I`m fighting Chaos Dwarves on 1 front, and an Ork-Norse-Slann alliance on the other. So the VETERAN KNIGHTS could conquer the world in Civ3 too

I chose an Archipelago map (60% water, standard, hot, wet, flat (Kate Moss? )) so I can raid with my pirates, but I got a sweet pangea, with lotsa bottle-necks, very easy to defend. So far the Sylvannians, Empire and Chaos are turned to dust

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

my french sucks too. i just typed the sentence into a English/French translator.

even with my vague french heritage, i can only say bonjour, merci, some numbers and whatever the spelling is for "please" in french

Do you think the new ship that Orthanc's making could fit in somewhere?

 

[Stormrage]

Um, doesn`t "merci" mean "thank you"?

 

[LMR]

What ever are you talking about stormy?

i can also say banco and suivez, which is useful when playing baccarat

 

[Stormrage]

I just remembered an episode of "`Allo, `allo", when the 2 Gestapo dudes were pretending to be english: Fa fa, fa, fafafa, fa fafa fa..

Have a nice trip, mrtn!

 

[LMR]

Im having the same problem in my game. Tilea just built all the Knightly Orders. luckily they are confined to a reasonably small island, while im planning an invasion of the orkish lands (sorry stormy )

its me (Norsca), albion, nippon, orcs, goblins, ind, tilea, ulthuan, naggaroth, amazons, estalia and sylvania. im willing in power, culture and score, and have the most area and population

 

[Stormrage]

How are the Estalians doing?

I`m winning by some 40 points ahead of CD, and have 19 % of the world. At one end I`m defending, and at the other I`m pressing forth into CD lands, I`m just infront of their capital, but I acted rashly and charged unprepared.. Now we are at a stale-mate (sp?). I think I`ll have to build up on the artillery and cavalry, those damn dwarves are tough, I need something to brake them.

Also, whats up with those Sneaky Gitz!? They have 3def (without terrain bonus) and they have no problems defending against Ogre Bulls! SoB! Must be some bad luck.

@LMR : "s'il vous plaît" is that what you can't spell ?
I'm making my own version of WH mod, in French because I am (say "bon courage!") and with less human civs. I only refer to the official 2006 Games-workshop site, and to my personnal tastes for beasts ann monsters. So Estalians won't be a problem for me...
EDIT : "la tasse du monde" online translators really suck !!! It sounds like "the world cup of tea", or "the world bowl" !!!

 

[LMR]

s'il vous plait, yes thats it! thanks i typed that into the translator and it replied with "svp", which is guess is short for that... so yes, online translators suck

and the estalians are on the other side of the world, but by watching the "history channel" (you know how you can watch the map of the world, and all the civs building cities and stuff) after i saved and retired, they are having a tough time competing with the high elves.

tilea signed a military alliance with the orks to "crush" me so i landed an invasion force on the island of Tilea. But as the mighty armies of the Northmen landed on the shores of their foe, magic fire rained down upon them, burning many a soldier as they prepared to attack.

so grievious were their wounds, that the ensueing assault was repelled, but not without tremendous losses in the Tilean city of Verezzo (sp?). then a counter attack by mercenaries wiped the Norse invasion force off the island.

i did manage to take an orc city before we bargained for "no war"

 

[bigdog5994]

I just had a idea!!!!!

the skaven should be able to build airbases or "tunnels" of some kind
what do u guys think

 

[LMR]

But I have no "airport" for them to start from... So we'd need a skaven-only building.

Well, a tunnel of some sort i would presume

You're not the first

we also talked about this in the Skaven Development Thread a while ago. they definately do need tunnels tho

 

[bigdog5994]

no not a airport a worker built airbase

 

[LMR]

They are already spelltowers, i think...

 

[bigdog5994]

ok so i guess i posted a little fast with out thinking again, but ever time i think I... I....

ok I so I got another idea why dont we use the other lotr orc unit the one with the "axe" thing to be the black orc warrior maybe we can have somone recolor it green too.

 

[Stormrage]

Its already green. And that sounds like a good idea. Except it shouldn`t be a black orc cos its so puny, maybe it should loose the "black" part in the name

 

[bigdog5994]

What! it aint puny its the same size as the other black orc warrior and it aint green

im talkin about this one http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=47064
the berserker

 

[Stormrage]

Well you mentioned an axe, so I thought you were talking about ED`s black orc.

And the berserker Uruk-hai is also puny by WH standards

 

[bigdog5994]

well it is about the same size as aaglo's black orc infantry unit and i still think that it is more a "warrior" unit than the armoured from head to toe other orc.

do u think if it is recoloerd green mrtn would use it in the game or do u think he will never change the black orc warrior (stubborn bastard)

 

[Stormrage]

I think he is just of the same height, but not size

@ about mrtn, I really don`t know. And I don`t care, I modded my game to get rid of the Uruks
