Uhhh... Have any of you guys seen this Temple to Moloch building?   :o

Or is this one of those rare ones I've heard whispers about?



Gives a +1.00 (!!!) decadence gain, hidden in this screenshot.  This showed up in Carthage on my first turn in a practice campaign.

I've never seen a building with a green border in any of my playthroughs yet....  Just kidding, I guess Monuments have a green border too.  Maybe I just need to dig through the manual to figure out what that means...

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.

If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

I haven't seen that building, but the green border means that it does not take up a building slot.

Dacia is back in the game :bd:

A rebellion sprung up in Getae territory[assholes], basically my old regions, a new playa in our little part of the world.........lets all welcome Dardarni. They started with one little territory and are giving Getae hell......alright...go get'um.  So while i'm taking a couple regions back from those pesky Germanic independents[pain in the asses] i'm watching Dardarni and Getae batter each other and cheering on Dardarni...."way to go, kick some Getae ass" so  i figure, hey i'll offer a cooperation treaty to Dardarni, an enemy of my enemy is my friend kinda thing. This whole time i'm gaining and losing regions battling the independents and Getae i'm getting messages from Macedonia  basically saying, your a prick, and your getting what you deserve, i'm paraphrasing here. It was kind of amusing, i mean its not like i can insult them back [assholes] they own most of the map in these parts and are on my border in a couple of places.  So i'm thinking Dardarni will willing accept my cooperation treaty, nope, turned it down. HMMMM....ok i guess. Two turns later Dardarni DOW's me and attacks [assholes]. Well...OK muther fu**er, so i stack up and go traveling. i attack my old capital....oppps..forgot to put a general in place, so i lose a couple of units and retreat. OK, you fu**ing upstart, i reload with a few more units and a general :) and go back, take my old capital and another region........YEA...Dacia has a province again. Now the question comes up on how will i defend what i have gained. I get a couple of timely decisions and sell off some metal for 500 gold and then some manpower for 300 gold, so my troops get payed, and i Que up some more troops. Now i realize i have some troubles on my east and west borders, so after some careful thought i decide to throw a peace treaty at Dardarni with the full intent of double crossing those assholes.

shot of map after Dardarni accepts peace.


This comes the same turn as the peace acceptance, this made me laugh hard.


Turn 100 and i'm still in the fight. i also made peace with Getae after they made the offer, of course i fully intend to stab those assholes in the back when i get the chance. Been working on my economy and planing on clearing out those pesky independents and i'm eyeing that region with the harbor in the east. I've made peace with everyone one but Macedonia, says i have no chance of it being accepted. Galactia got wiped out by Macedonia, good bye good buddies, the only civ in the area that didn't declare war on me.

One thing this game could use is an in game pedia, especially as it would relate to manufactured goods and how to get them.

Love the write up Budd. :clap:

This game is made for epic stories like this.

Many times already I have seen that the situation for a particular faction is not as rosy as it may seem (nor as bleak as it may seem for another faction).....nations really do rise and fall.

How could it possibly be 'better than before?'

I'm OK with that as long as you can tell the difference between the camels and the hot Sabaean princesses.  :-"

Some camels just don't lend themselves to a parade.
With that big rotary engine and two machine guns in the nose, the Sopwith camel was seriously out of balance.
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Though to be fair a flypast would be much less impressive from a camel of the Bactrian variety than a Sopwith one......
