[Earth]

Alrighty then. So... What else to talk about...

[The_Mather1]

Steve, Edel(Iconic) is currently complaining because Earth plays guitar in his spare time, we have just been defending Earth's right to do what he wants without getting ranted for doing so.

[The_Mather1]

What the hell just happened? Did someone just die or something?

I've been waiting for hours pressing F5 at random intervals and nothing new since ~7PM! That's unacceptable!

[Icuownage]

I guess a moderator giving a warning to shut the hell up kinda stops the discussion.

 

I'm going to read the delta V thread and design another part of my city.

[The_Mather1]

About Delta V, I think I'll start making floor plans for my ships... Archi, be patient, city ships will take at least a week.

[Earth]

Wait, has Delta V even started yet? Meh.. Anyways, i'm extremley embarresed at my abilities as a Let's Player atm. The video i recorded had no audio, and then it got saved in the worst place ever.. so i couldn't use it.

[Iconic]

Is it safe to ask what religion everyone is?

I'm agnostic which is another word for not caring, i was brought up Christian and to be honest there is no proof of god and it seems rather unlikely (if god exists, why do tapeworms exist? Surely he could have made tapeworms a higher being that's not a worm)

 

Does anyone know the (not a religion) in which people believe that everyone else is robots and due to nothing proving other people are concious than you might aswell assume you are the only one to exist.

 

I'm happy with my abilitys and disabilitys in delta v, one advantage just needs to be changed. Icu is probably my biggest threat, apart from the fact that I am a lot weaker and I a parasite we are extremely similar and in a match of similar odds is a lot more scary, it won't matter about our races, only about our wits. Or we could be bestest best friends.

[Earth]

Bah, i always loose track of things in hegenomies. Not going to join this one. Not really caring at all is my religion.

[Iconic]

Earth, with a seperate website it's going to be a lot easier, the website is so user friendly and the rest is just word of mouth, Archi can probably work some of this out for you. It would be stupid to atleast not try it.

[Earth]

Naw. Not my style to be all micromanaging. Hell, i can't even think up a race that's not horribly OP or pathetically weak..

[Icuownage]

Think up an OP one and then Archi will balance it...

[Earth]

True. But, my style isn't micromanagement.

[Iconic]

You only need to micromanage once, I hope thats not 'cramping your style'

[Ieyfura]

Hey! I got half the delta V site to work on my ps3! Not exactly info that matters, but I was excited to see archi's project. Its going to be awesome imo.

[Nexaduro]

That sounds very much like paraphrased Nihilism. Is that what you were thinking of?

No, I'm sure it has a special name.

[Earth]

Wait.. What? Hegenomy based games are made for micro managers. You hae to carefully mind your recources, knoow when and where to send ship,s how much of any ship should be in a certain army. Micromanaging isn't my style.. If archi allows it, i could be serving under you as an architect or a something. That kind of stuff is what im good at.

[Earth]

Really?... Naw, Still not playing. I'm actually really bad at these kinds of games, I have brilliant moments, but not too often.. I can help with designs, to see if i can make things effecient..

[Iconic]

Earth, alll the hegemony games haven't had barely any micromanagement at all, the closest thing to micromanaging is saying "I Train ten ships and attack", you don't have to choose micromanage or roleplay or even try hard at all, it just makes a sort of "Can't be asked" aura around you.

[Earth]

Dude. What part of not good at these games do you not understand?

[Nexaduro]

Every time a new problem comes up, I simply come up with a weapon to fight it. :P

 

Hlaupari were originally meant to be pirate-type units, But when the Mongols came along I decided to kill two birds with one stone.

 

Chain weapons? Entangle horses, slaughter spearmen, scale walls/ship hulls.

Hand crossbows? A match for Mongol horse archers and good for firing between ships.

Firebombs? Turn Hlaupari into copies of Mongolian Naffatun and send ships up in flame.

 

And then of course, there were the true elites which never saw combat in Ye Olde Hegemony. Skriddeki, the most heavily armoured units in the game, with the stongest warhorses. Essentially immune to spearmen, a nightmare for swordsmen, and worth a number of even those soldiers they were weak against. These were my answer to Western European combat, and if the game hadn't ended they would likely have slaughtered Dusty's troops. :rolleyes:

 

So, yeah. If your opponent has a bigger gun, shoot him with something new.

[Iconic]

Dude. What part of not good at these games do you not understand?

The fact that your not saying that your bad at these games, your just saying that your lazy.

 

You run a planet, you aim to get as much planets as possible and its up to you how you do it. Your just getting confused by little things.

[Earth]

Well you have the short term memory loss part right. But, i'm just horrible at managing all those things at once. came under the incorrect term of micromanagement for me.

Big heavy armour and mailed warhorses are relatively useless considering I slaughtered all of your troops before they even came off their boats :lol:

 

And my Knights of Santiago could've beat them, easily. Really could've beat any of your units, since I got the full bonus since their bonus was against soldiers of different faith (2x effecitve against heretics, 3x as effective against heathens). So, yea, that armour would do nothing.

 

Hell, I could probably just kill them with Jinettes, since they'd never even be able to catch them :thumbup:

[Grim_]

I'm still annoyed that I didn't see how many troops I killed. What I was aiming for was starving the enemy army out by ripping their supply lines to shreds (using the border patrols) and having the local nobility help with that/ kill any foraging units. Hell I thought of an entirely new unit that was entirely made as an anti siege unit. Also I probably outnumbered them in siege engines a couple to one (so with any luck their catapults would not survive that long). I alerted the mongols that the kievan army was away on break and was planning to sail some war cogs up the river for a surprise attack. That's not counting the [cabbage] I was planning to do with my navy either (I doubtless would have lost even if I managed to somehow beat off a much larger force because dusty would have gotten involved [but I wanted to make the enemy bleed [open them up for other enemies to be precise]])
