Seriously Tricky Sticky Game

Excuses, excuses

Er, can someone explain to me what all those superscript numbers and asterisks are about.

Added to the names of cities so that when wading through the city screens you can remember where it is, and on the map the "ª" helps you find the cities with Airports to do airlifting.

Apparentice Rodent asks... no other cities captured?

Forgot to put that in the log! Indians made peace as soon as I got close. And with all those lovely and vulnerable Freights to deliver to their juicey cities, is the unapologetic perfectionist going to say, "No?"

Manhattans in Rhodes, we may wish to raze this city to deny the computer nukes.

Errrr, no, once built nukes are in play for all civs with Fission for the remainder of the game. Right??

Next turn we ought to be able to ship howitzers to India in one turn, from anywhere in the empire.

[SG(2) mode] Didn't we already have about 40 units poised on continent 42 to jump across the straights? What we needed was more ships for chains to the French: up from Makrell once we're done with Gandhi, and across from Corinth now that Hyppolyta is history. [/mode]

Yes, and I'm using those troops to stomp Gandhi. About 1/2 of the troops were in Delhi when Delhi got nuked.

Secondly, this shipchain exists independently of all the other ones. I simply added to our existing merchant marine, rather than diverting ships from elsewhere.

Thirdly, look at the save, and the shipchain I'm constructing up to the French.

I'm not going to bother from Corinth, given that the ships are around 40 squares away, and the task force only about 20 squares. It's just one city out in the middle of nowhere.

Well, if only fifteen… or twenty… units got nuked I can see why you might not mention that…
What are turn logs for, again?

[Ben Kenobi]

Indians nuke Delhi, break ceasefire.

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

If you're going to break a ceasefire, do it emphatically.

And nothing says "to h*ll with your stinkin' ceasefire" like H-bombing your former capital city

[duke o' york]

"Our words are backed with nuclear weapons!"
"Oh, er, they're not. Any more. The YTS trainee pressed the wrong button, nuked our former capital and got us back into a war we were lucky to get out of."
"Er, er, um. Have I ever said how much I admire the leadership of President Kenobi?"

Oh, YTS stands for Youth Training Scheme, and was a way the government used to use to get young unemployed people work experience. (Also to reduce unemployment figures ). Is it still going?

See you're having fun, guys

It's HYDEY time again.

Edit: DrSpike's box is full

[DrSpike]

I'm not MIA..........I missed the last set because I was on vacation IIRC. But I'm not now, so I'll try and play some turns this weekend.

[DrSpike]

Hehe, last weekend didn't work out, but this week for sure, or you can make me go and stand in the corner of the academy until I repent.

[Straybow]

I don't think we're worried about breaking any speed records on this game anyway.
