Hate Roads - What are They Good For?

[CEO Aaron]

For the love of God and all that is holy, someone please lock this moronic thread once and for all.

[Alinestra Covelia]

At risk of being accused of unadulterated spam and picking on a moron, I just wanted to ask whether anybody has looked at the thread with this information in it:

I know it's been a while but every time I come back to blockhead's posts I just laugh for hours. Not in a bad way, of course. I thought somebody should get back in touch with our masterful (if shortlived) Polyton newcomer and let him know that we all love him really.

I had a hoot reading this again too. I actually had a bit of fun

[Skanky Burns]

Wow, what a funny past this forum has.

[Jamski]

Thanks Allie for reminding us all of the horrors of terminal road-denial

Although, preparing to be shot, I, excepting my first three or so games, and my last five or so... have never played with crawlers! Roads... I'm not that brave.... I'm usually running lots of patrols around, and need the fastest response, because I'm almost always ambushed by the computers.... usually by copters or needlejets in late game, or a set of impact troopers early.... Although I was amazed when I city that was settled in worthless territory.. (early game settling, arid all around, a little fungus, and some decent 2000+ elevation) that pumped out 6-8 crawlers, in addition to satellites, began producing 170+ minerals a turn..... That game I ended up, minus the 5-10 thousand I gave away to try to prevent a crash, with about 80 thousand energy...

Why not try and corner the market?

WHY CORNER THE MARKET??

Yeah, you win, but, well, the AI still has all its money. It doesn't even do anything about it. Does it even know you are about to win!! I have let the AI win 6 times to see how it did it. Each time, it was by high score, no amazing conquest or diplomatic, and this was on Transcend!!! Multiplayer is much better, too bad it ties up the phone line. I mean, what do I do if I have to eat or pee or something like that??

[Jamski]

Just post the turn and wait a couple of days. I normally fit in a couple of meals and pee once or twice in that time...

[Lazerus]

ask for a 10minute break so the others can do the same ?

[Ouro_827]

Yes, I could try and corner the market... thing was, I was making around five thousand or so a turn, at least, and my most mineraled base was nearly two hundred... Voice was being built, and then Ascent would take a max of seven to nine turns... cornering takes twenty, and the computer was demanding fourty-five to fifty thousand for a corner... which means I had only had enough for a couple turns... That was Counciousness, running Democratic/Green(I think)/Power/Eudamonic
I had been running Democratic/Green/Knowledge/Cybernetic, but found I could actually make more and take less time by switching to the other way... don't know what.. everything pretty much was clean...Had obliderated Peacekeepers, Believers, Spartans, and another, and had hit up the Gaians bad... declared war on last turn before winning to take some SPs that I didn't care too much for at the time....

[Santiago_Claus]

Who's winning?

And why is "Set Waypoint" thru fungus considered a "cheat"?

[Jamski]

It upgrades units instantly to demon boil, as long as you set at least 3 waypoints.
