Should players be allowed to build cities on Mountain hexes?

Eh? Hogan's heroes was the stuff of legend, especially after everyone found out how Bob Crane died

Mmm. Bob's death was the only laugh I got out of anything associated with the show.

Yes but knowledge of the curse of Hogan's Heroes makes watching the show perverse and macabre.

AH-You think Hogan's Heros is perverse? I know someone in Germany who loves it, so I guess I agree with ya there!

Hogan's Heroes' only curse (still is and) was that it (still isn't and) wasn't ever in the slightest bit amusing. It didn't even have the courage to be in really bad taste. In fact, that's its major crime - it trod accidentally into the area of bad taste.

I think is discussion is useless; no side, neither AH nor all the others can claim the ultimate victory in this thread or will ever be able to. In fact, there are cities in the world which are built on mountains, hills and/or something else, some people have posted a fwe examples, so i don't wnat to count any others). Surely, many of them started their existence as being forts. But building cities on a mountains square in civ2 has definitely such an irrealistic effect, that AH is right to ask the question: "Should players be allowed...?", because it's really a different thing whether they constructed cities on a mountain long time ago or whether you do it in civ2 (because of the defense advantage). But the historical background should not be a base for playing a game like civ2.
In my opinion, if every participant of a CIV2-MGE-Game is content with an interne rule, that city-construction on mountains is not allowed, than there would be no problem.

And I for myself really think, that players should not be allowed to get such an advantage. So I can only support AH's thinking

[Bohlen]

Why are people still posting on this thread? Why do people post to AH's topics at all? It's amazing that no one else can see what is happening here. AH enjoys this type of discussion, with all of its conflict and insults. He likes to start a thread with a vague and generally surprising statement and everyone just jumps at it and at AH. The thing is, AH loves it! He gets a kick out of the 3+ page threads. I guess it's the only way he can accomplish something in life...a long thread. Well, way to go AH. Way to go. You are the man. I have nothing else say about you. I don't want to play into your hands any further.

Don't play his game any more!

I'm new at Apolyton and this thread was the first one by AH that I saw. I found it quite interesting because I had already asked the same question to myself. But during my exploration tour I found more and more threads with sometimes silly or sometimes even interesting topics started by - Alexander's Horse. Now, when I read your post, I found it quite funny, because I made an similar experience. I wonder: when you think that AH is such a guy, don't all the others recognize it? Even Ming, one of the most experienced posters still discusses about these topics. Also, I don't think that especially this topic should be taken too less seriously.

All in all I must say: Be careful with judging people too fast...

[Bird]

Good gawd man, just be thankful no one's talking about tanks!

[Bohlen]

I am not judging anyone. I am simply sharing my observations. I believe that AH starts silly discussions. That's all. I really have nothing against AH. I have even complemented him on one thread concerning one of his Civ 2 articles, which I thought was brilliant. Please don't start with the "Thou shall not judge BS." I don't intend my post to be judgmental. It's only a theory.

[Andz83]

I really didn't want to insult you. If "judge" had been the wrong word, then I have to apologize. Otherwise, I may have misunderstood you. I think you shouldn't longer worry about that

[Sten Sture]

So which is better, a T-34 fortified on a mountain or an M1A1 on a Hill???


To whom it concerns:

I tip my hat to AH for being able to stimulate discussion on threads serious and not, by using cleverness and hyperbole. I am a big fan.

Sincerely,

Sten Sture
