Re: I hate seeing *** posts, and some civ4
Ah that's cool. Last I saw you post on it, you were in deep. I was figuring you were multiplaying up a storm with some of the OOT vets.
I was getting nuts over it for a while too, like I do with anything new I start. Enjoyed working on my Roman rush strategy. |

I wrote an original Slashdot published review for Civ III about 3 yrs ago - I got a nice little line in there about telling the Linux community this was a game that one should buy Windows for. I've played Civ 4 and I really like it - feels more streamlined - but I've NEVER played it generally from a military standpoint unless I could justify it - (me and a guy on an island where he has no iron and I do, for example) -cause it's a toughie to protect EVERYTHING - You sort of have a hedgehog defense - with stacked strongpoints, and there's just too many damn ways for armies to get around you - no such thing as static lines in this game unless you wanna cough up a LOT of units - LOL. but as a whole, I really like it - bitching aside about bad beats - I'd love to get a group together to try the multiplayer option sometime. RB [/ QUOTE ] ive played a little bit multiway w/ my roommate. its OK, you really need to set aside alot of time in order to do this though. (nature of the game!!) |

Yeah, it is ridiculous sometimes.
I am hoping for a Colonization II. |

Re: Civilization IV, Baddest Beat of my Life
Stupidest cliche scene in the movies is an unarmed helicopter chasing down some guy. The sad truth is, against an unarmed helicopter, a guy on the ground with a large rock or stick can easily take it down if it did chase him. Simply toss large rock or stick straight up into the rotor blades.
Now, against an ARMED helicopter, I imagine the archers are winning due to maintenance issues. Gunships are delicate things and sometimes they just fall out of the sky. |

Re: Civilization IV, Baddest Beat of my Life
I read a book called "Chickenhawk" by a guy who was a chopper pilot in Vietnam. He regularly landed in clearings that were too small to land in, as did all the other pilots, by actually chopping through foliage on the way down. So a stick isn't going to do much. If you got hit by one of those blades it would cut you in half.

Re: Civilization IV, Baddest Beat of my Life
By stick I meant something 2 or 3 inches in diameter. No pilot wants to hit something that big. For that matter, they really don't want to hit a human being either. There's a good chance of them going down as well.
The tip of a rotor blade is going roughly 500 mph. If it hits anything of substance, it will destroy that thing, but also damage itself. And an unbalanced rotor, which the damage will cause, is not a good thing. |

How the hell does a modern, heavily armored helicopter get shot down by godamn arrows!? [/ QUOTE ] Rambo only needed 1 arrow. With a team of archers this would be childsplay. |

Re: Civilization IV, Baddest Beat of my Life
In Civilization terms, the Iraqi insurgents are probably on the level of Riflemen or Grenadiers. Yet they're not exactly rolling over for our stacks of Mech Inf, Modern Armor, and Stealth Bombers. The archers probably picked up some modern technology. Maybe they're strapping sticks of dynamite to their arrows.
Speaking of dynamite arrows, has anybody played Gun? Fun little game. I was a little surprised that more hookers get killed in that game than in Grand Theft Auto. |

I'm playing Dawn of War now. Needed something more quick and explosive.
