H Tower · January 19, 2003, 02:18

how many war party threads are we going to have? this is the thrid one

EDIT: spelling

Maquiladora · January 19, 2003, 03:15

You made emperor H congrats

now if you havent got anything constructive to say get out of this thread

Maquiladora · January 19, 2003, 03:19

If someone votes to the detriment to the War Party can we throw them out?

And can we get guaranteed votes from War Party members if one of us runs for office?

Dale · January 19, 2003, 08:00

MrBaggins:
You're on the members list now. Welcome to the party.

H Tower:
We need some parties in this democracy game! Creates some atmosphere and debates. Always healthy.

Maq:
Good question. But if we don't allow members to "cross the floor", then it sort of makes as more dictatorish than democratic. I'd say no to that particular one. Anyone else got something to say? As for guarenteed votes, I'd think that's a gimme as we can get our policies into the game more than if peaceful ministers are elected.

' In the darkness of chaos, the giants tricked Great Lemur and stole from him the enigma of steel. Lemur was angry and the earth shoke. Fire and wind struck down these giants and cast their bodies onto the world, and with them the weapons of steel. And you who found them, and took them up from the battlefields, are men; not Gods or Giants, just men.
You my people must learn its discipline, in life neither man, woman nor beast can you trust - this sword you can trust '

- from the life of the Lemur.

Great to see you here High Lemur(or are you his younger usurper son

)
I have tried to write two things for the history thread(one of them was very long) and lost them both times(u can't click the back button twice and refresh in explorer now to recover lost posts

). My post was just maybe some philosophy for the war party? Well i ripped off my fav film and made a Lemur abridged version

Oerdin · January 20, 2003, 12:11

Let's see if we can stop them from building a settler and get them to start building warriors. We do need at least one unit to defend our city.

Hint: always write long posts in NotePad or Word or something similar, so you won't loose it if the server screws it up (which is not all that uncommon).

Even though im in the War Party i think we should still build a second settler first, that new Austrian city will be defended by maybe 3 or 4 good units by the time we get there (with only warriors), then again it might be defended by one. Either way if we lose attacking it, their units will be stacked and on our capital (and only our capital) like flies round ****.

If, by formatting, you mean the bold, italics, alignment, etc. Then no, it will not carry over.

Immortal Wombat · January 22, 2003, 15:17

Oh crap. The Prez and the MoD both in the War Party?

No luck on recovering it

Neither a new one

That must have been a horrible loss.

too bad

Locutus · January 22, 2003, 21:55

You can do formatting yourself with vBB/HTML tags, that won't show up in Notepad but works fine in the forums.

[b]If you write this in notepad,[/b] it will look like this in the forums.

HuangShang · January 22, 2003, 22:00

i know that part.....

Turambar · January 28, 2003, 20:07

As IW is after support from the dancing no war hippy party (

) in the upcoming MoD election, I thought I'd come tell my fellow War Party members (if you didn't already know) that I'm running for the position of MoD (which currently hold until the election results).

So if you want to see the Austrians beaten at some point in the next 5000 years then be sure to vote for me!

MrBaggins · January 28, 2003, 20:16

*CHUCKLES*

Damn peaceniks

BTW... Turambar... do you subscribe to the ICS theory of early development, or are you in favor of conquest... period?

Turambar · January 28, 2003, 20:25

Well I can only guess as to what the ICS theory of early development is (build cities not take them?), but I'm all for building up for war now and then attacking Austria.

But best to leave the campaigning until the Election thread is open I suppose.

MrBaggins · January 28, 2003, 21:04

You've not heard of ICS then?

It stands for 'Infinite City Sleeze'. Its a typical TBS ploy... and had its heyday in Civ2.

It effectively exploits a 'weakness' in the design of TBS games... namely that your cities use 1+POP (basically) squares of resources. Its mathematically advantageous to just build just settlers (and enough defensive units to be viable) whilst you can (subject to space and empire size caps.)

I do agree that we should take an Austrian City, but not at the expense of as rapid an expansion that we can muster, ourselves.
