Re: overall civ consensus

Japanese are OK, just weaken their cards a little bit. I think close combat should be reduced to 20 or 10% attack, from 30. The multiplier increase is good enough. Here are my thoughts. China: Reduce the number of disciples you get going to age 3 by 3 or 4. Raise the cost of disciples by 10 or 20. M...

Re: New Banner

I also like the middle right one. They're all fine though.

Re: Goals Thread

They can survive colonial easily if they play it right, but once the enemy can get petards/cannons, it's really tough if you're relying on TCs for defense.

Re: Goals Thread

The Port water boom is good, the FF is decent, but once they get to industrial, heavy cannons and 20 range goons is pretty hard to beat...

I prefer a raiding turtle, though. :)

Re: Goals Thread

I guess you're right in that I completely despise them in every way and nothing short of deleting them from the game can change that. The fact that I play Ports and Germans doesn't help. I've decided to give French another shot.

Re: Signatures / Avatars anyone?

Yeah, I remember on an old debate forum, I had my "Some_Guy" sig made. I find forums boring too if there aren't avatars or signatures.

Also, KK, I'd suggest putting a quote or something onto your sig. Otherwise it's just a picture.

Re: Goals Thread

Notice how I didn't mention great house and the starting travois.

They got two of their major OP advantages fixed, but that's nowhere near enough to make the Iro anything but blatantly OP.

Re: Goals Thread

Their support cards do not form a strategy alone, but they are individually OP and can easily be used when you have the chance. People play mostly China now because it's just as OP and is a new civ. Once the novelty value wears off, Iro will become popular again. Look at TWC after the patch but befo...

Re: Goals Thread

I've been playing almost exclusively Ports recently. Basically, I just do my turtle/raiding strategy and mix in other units later, while shipping in muskets and xbows for anti-infantry. Against a defensive civ, I go infantry, go for map control, and boom. I'd be glad to do a few training 1v1s with y...

Re: Goals Thread

The Iroquois only got a slight nerf. Only two of their twenty or so blatantly OP unique advantages got taken care of.

I do respect your Ottoman/Aztec/German wins, though. :)

I'm sorry, KK, but you're using the Iroquois. Can you really say you're legitimately winning...?

Re: RTSL vs VIE

Firefox is awesome. FAR better than IE. Not to mention that since the mainstream uses IE, most... unwanted guests tend to stick around there.

Re: My little Guide to India

The competition gets far more brutal as you increase in rank; you can trust me on that. The higher level you are, the more aggressive you need to be.

Re: To the Minnesotan(s)...a question

I've been wading through over a foot of snow, and they show no intentions of closing any schools. The only way they will is if there are like 2 or more feet of snow.
