Conquistador Screenshot: Theories

[Soviet Beast]

Snow? at the equator? This is either in a cold climate map.. which I doubt becase then there would not be elephants (unless firaxis pays no attention to real wildlife). Or, perhaps there was some type of random natural disaster feature implemented in PTW? like a volcano or even a comet strike? Nuclear winter?

That screen shot shows the winter tile set.

ahh stupid me

MODERATOR ACTION: You are not the only stupid one here, Soviet.

[notyoueither]

Why are you faking CFC 'moderator actions'?

Edit/ We'll all know when moderators here take some action. You won't have to tell us.

[ixnay]

Yes, now they use pictures.

[notyoueither]

Pretty pictures.

Hmmm, I would think he would fear the wrath of the Moderators and not take their name in vain.

If you must pretend, why not call your little asides something close like Muderator of Murderator? I mean its obvious you don't have a high opinion of them, apparently they have upset you in someway.

I think they already did, I saw that Ming got ahold of him on another thread.

Yea.

Winter. Does that effect movement, combat, and production? Are we now having FOUR turns per year with seasons??

As for Conquistadors, Firaxis' tradition of BAD HISTORY continues. These were never a UU nor even a real military unit. Conquistadors were just a small bunch of gold-hungry thugs who specialized in murdering native peoples and then killing each other. Pizarro was murdered by his own men, as an example.

To make the Conquistador the Spanish UU shows again what disdain Firaxis has for reality, and how they keep turning the game into pure fantasy.

The Spanish UU should be the famous TERCIO: http://www.geocities.com/ao1617/TercioUK.html

Yea. but pretty pictures.

Nope all it is, is different graphics like Sn00py's but you can easily change between them.

what's the dog for? except for making them look more evil i mean.

[BigRed515]

What's the dog for? Piss off Coracle, I assume.

Or, perhaps, a refrence to the war dogs used by the Spanish Conquistador Expeditions on their captive Native Americans. Some theories state that it was actually the use of these war dogs that caused the devistating epidemics after the Spanish arrival.

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Can you send the dog off to fetch things or does it have to stay with the Conquistador?

[Caliban]

Hey look, it's pretty easy:

When two Conquistatores meet and stay on the same square for some turns, they produce LOTS of small puppies that can be raised to create WAR DOGS!

It would be nice to flood enemy civilizations with awful amounts of evil little dogs...
