Getting desperate are we?

Hey, AH; how can I become member of the Threadjacking Appreciation Society?

Anyway, the discussion seems to be becoming SPAM for itself. The thread started with the question about city-construction and now deals with guys who try to defend their position with silly arguments (Avalanches? I think somebody here was getting high just before posting ).
Can't you guys realize that there's no way to convince the opponents in this discussion? There are some who think that it should be allowed and some who don't. So, if you only want to spam around, you should in fact move it to OT. There's enough space for Threadjacking, Spamming, and all the things that make OTF real fun, don't you think?

What gets me about some of you people is as soon as you start to lose the argument, you want the thread closed!!!!! Admit defeat, move on!!

[Andz83]

Hey AH, do you talk with me?

1. I don't want the thread closed, I was just wondering why it's still active.

2. I don't think that I lost an argument, I don't even think that I'm against you. I for myself am not sure whether it should be allowed or not (city on mountain).
So I don't have to admit defeat, b/c that defeat would be the defeat for both sides.

Actually, why does the thread title question deal with mountain "hexes"? Isn't civ2 a game with "squares"...? Or are you guys talking about things different than I thought...?!

Andz83-Take it from someone who knows, AH is not at all interested in a real discussion of the issue, he merely wants to cloud it, as was proven about 50 threads back, when he refused to define what is a "mountain" and a "city" in his view (he had been arguing the there are no real world mountain cities).

So it's basically pointless to talk to him, since he always evades the issue. Rest confident, however, that over 90% of the mp community doesn't agree with his anti-mountains stance.

And yet you keep coming back for more

[Neon Deon]

AH,
Did the Germans take Switzerland in 2 days???
Did the Germans win the war?????
Did every thing the German Army calculate come true? Is Geneva surrounded by flat land? Can you take a city in 2 hours if the occupants fight for it? Was the Swiss Army better equiped than the Ghetto jews of Warsaw? Did the German Army crush the Warsaw uprising in 2 hours? Can i have some of what your smoking?

Are you Americans really that stupid? As I thought, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor... Don't you really know this???

Anyway, I don't understand your argument. Is this even a contribution to our "discussion"?

[DaveV]

Andz83 - Sten Sture is NOT that stupid. He's quoting from the movie "Animal House". It's getting increasingly hard to judge whether any particular post is germane to this thread, but I think SS's post was meant to poke fun at AH's preceding post.

[Andz83]

OK, since I don't know "animal House", I couldn't know.
But I think that's no problem, is it?

[Andz83]

I think we are disgressing, aren't we?

So, here's the final question. 1,000,000$ for the first to answer it:

Should players be allowed to build cities on Mountain hexes?



I think the answer to this question is not a general one. Everybody has to know it for himself (whether to do it nor not), and if anyone other does that: there were mentioned many possibilities to come along with it. Shall I count them again?

1. emm
1. well

OK, I don't remember at least one, but I think you know what I wanted to say!

I vote yes.
In single production games, you need to have a food source handy to make it work. It is very easy to seige the city by fortifing a vet pikeman on their food source, and then sit back and watch the fun. In double production games, I would recommend bribes or nukes

My rationale is simple. The game allows you to do it. Now granted, the game allows you to do a lot of things that most people consider as cheating... but, the designers went out of their way to not allow cities on glaciers... if they felt the same way about mountains... I rest my case
