MWBMC - New acronym

[MacUser]

MWBMC - My Wife's Beating Me at Civ!!! Here, after a year, or so, of begging her to try Civ, she finally gives in and plays a Hot Seat game. I graciously show her the ropes and what to I get for my troubles? ELEPHANTS IN MY CITES! Hmmph. Next time I'll tell her that you can only attack cities with little walls around them!

Now, can that be applied to the MyWifeHatesCIV, in particular?

[Hueij]

Wait a minute... You mean the MyWife'sBeatingMeAtCiv Civ is beating the IHateMyWife'sCiv Civ? That's bad, that's very bad...

[cavebear]

Explain to her that using Elephants as ground units is a "cheat" because they are actually air units (Dumbo's) and she needs to build an Airport first.

[Mao]

That's what you get for using a Mac

Seriously though, just tell her that only certain civilizations should build elephants to keep historical accuracy. And no, it doesn't matter what civ she's playing, it's the wrong one

woo hoo! you go mrs. macuser!! Next thing you know, she'll be posting on apolyton too!

[MacUser]

LOL! Gee... I can't decide if I should hide this thread from her or not!

(Don't worry Emp, she'll see it. She's always interested in the comment of a fellow Tolkin fan! )

Just remember that you still love her...

[Legman]

All's fair in love and war as they say...

So you could go to the rules.txt(?) file and change the attack strength of the elephant to egual that of a warrior, but I guess that would be a bit too cruel, or...?

[Oldman]

Hey Macuser, Just be thankful you're other half can use a PC!!!!

At least you don't get lumbered with every single alteration to any word document like CV's, letters, etc and don't even get me started on excel?!?!?!?!

[MacUser]

Surely this thread and acronym has some more life left in it?! MORE! MORE!

My wife's completely allergic to computer games; so at night:

MWBMC = My Wife Bids Me Come.

It's actually a new acronym for an old civ strategy:

MWBMC = Make Wonders By Making Caravans.

Or for the Civ connoisseur:

MWBMC = Mature Wine But Mine Coal

And for your week's prospects, tonic's inane horoscope:

MWBMC: Make Waves, Be Mindlessly Cool.
