Re: Civ V - Icrontic FFA 002 [complete]
O RLY?!
Rebuttal points
1. You can't compare me to North Korea, they only talk and never deliver
2. I get it now, the way my post was formatted it was as if I was listing three reasons to go to war. That's my fault for not considering the post could be read that way. I never declared war on you Rob. We can make peace right now. As I already stated, I had no idea you were still doing defensive pacts with Joe. I am not going to keep warring. I'll be in this about 10 turns top and then I'm out. Just like the first war this game. I exist to slow Joe down a bit and then see myself out.
3. You, Rob, have been my friend since the beginning of this game and the only mean thing I ever did was spread my religion to your city last turn. We have had good trades and I've shared info with you.
4. Once you use aluminum to build dams, and if you lose the resource, you still keep the building and the production bonus. Just like coal and factories. If you want the aluminum for 25 turns so you have a ton of time to build your dams, make peace with me and you can have it next turn. If you need more time to develop the tech let me know and I'll give you the same offer in the future if you want it. I'm not a shit and if you think 700 is too high (which is kind of nuts) then make a counter offer.
5. @CB did play the way his Civ was designed by taking my city state ally BUT I am Siam and my primary benefit is my city state Allies. There are a lot of CSs CB could have choosen from early game and he sent his merchant about as far away as possible to snipe the CS that I allied with early game. There had to be at least a bit of, hey Dan may not like this that crossed his mind. And like I said, I have zero interest in war with CB I just want my ally back so I can control congress. I finally got enough military together to take my CS ally back because I'm also playing the way my civ is designed, but I've spent the last few hundred turns building wonders and buildings just like you and CB. I only blew up militarily suddenly because I rushed foreign legion via cultural policy.
6. I won FFA001 with science after spending the entire first half of the game with shit demographic ranks and a handful of mediocre cities. I ended up fighting you in what seemed an absolutely necessary power grab to deal with the MASSIVE Joe empire that was encroaching upon me KNOWING that the CB/Joe/Rob meta alliance would exist and I would get fucked with you as my neighbor once Joe finished China. There was nothing between Joe and I in FFA001 until late game. I never did a domination victory. I beat Joe in a very narrow space race and I wouldn't have if you were alive next to me.
7. Now let's look at this game. I declared war on Joe once and razed some tiles of his then quit. I just helped Garg a little bit. Joe did what he always does, this is true. He overexpanded by raping AI but oddly stopped short of killing you and CB. Why is that? CB has a beautiful capital with no army yet Joe didn't go one more city over and kill it? Then it would have been easy to corner you and take half the world. Anyway, Joe decides it would be funny to build up the biggest empire in the game and at the same time shamelessly steal land from Gargoyle instead of doing what makes sense which would have been killing you and CB. Gargoyle and I look at the game, where I have 2 shitty desolate cities ranked 6 in demographics in everything, and say we need to team up to slow Joe down otherwise he is just going to end this game (for us) quick. The war starts, Joe loses stuff and has a hard time because he is over extended and cocky and didn't know you could connect cities via harbor. I take my leave and do a massive tech and culture build up, which is how I am going to win if you guys don't all start fighting me together soon. I'm not going to dominate anyone. I had the second smallest military in the game until 20 turns ago. Now I jump back in to help deliver a KO to Joe because you know Joe will seek revenge later if we don't and suddenly I'm ole Kim? I'm the mad north korean leader? You have Joe and I seriously confused but I still dig your view on it all.
8. I have 2 cities and I will never have more than 2 cities. I'm not going to win by domination. I'm not going to fight Rob or CB in this game except this one moment where I take my CS ally back.
9. Soon this game will take a turn and all of you will team up against me so I don't win by science. It's going to be a far more interesting game than you think, but you already mentally decided I'm going to military dominate everyone which is a hell of a compliment but I will sadly have to disappoint you.

Rift keystone fragments (for normal rifts) are now grey items worth 5000 gold each. Oh boy.
Re: _K's krazy krash kourse of KATastrophe
Beware Planet Earth(7.9 hours): Got this with humblebundle, one of the reason I bought the group, thinking it would be a tower defense game. Kind of is and kind of isn't. This game feels like a clone of Plants v. Zombies with way to much micro management. Martians are invading a pasture with cows in for reasons and the crazy farmer is stuck in the toilet. He gives you machines to place in free space around dirt paths to kill the Martians before they take the cows back their ship. You can destroy towers, ring a cow bell to make the cows on the path run home faster, and a ray gun to zap Martians(this is really handy but also required use). Now it has all the elements of a TD game but you have to manually collect your resources by clicking them which becomes super annoying because as you progress through the segments, seasons, you have to also zap mushrooms that are growing and defrost your machines. This becomes extremely intensive about half way through the game to the point where you are always zapping something for the entire level. By the way there are no short cut guys to select items from the deployment menu. Click Click Click Click Click. Of course, you unlock challenge levels if you want to play variants besides just the standard stop the Martians with the towers you select. The game is fun enough in a lot of it but stressful in others due to the micro-management of all the squares in the field. Gave up on my perfect game on the final level after several attempts across 2 days, that sweet sweet 2% achievement was so close.

Re: League of Legends anyone?
Riot's current thoughts on the Juggernauts so far on live:
Darius: A bit too weak in the early game. Will get some little buffs to help.
Garen: Possibly a bit too strong, but they feel it's bit too early to say for sure.
Skarner: Woops. Made him way to strong. Looking at creative ways to bring him back down without just nerfing him back into the ground.
Mordekaiser: Too early to say for sure but appears to at least be in the direction they intended.
Arcade: PRESS START video.
Also, Blitzcrank's Poro Roundup. A minigame you can play online or on your smart device, FOR A LIMITED TIME! Get it on your phone while you can. (Apple Link) (Android Link)
Also I believe this is Riot's third game ever released. (Second being the "Cho'gath Eats The World" Minigame from a couple April Fools ago.)
