The War Party: Membership and Philosophy

Let's see if we can stop them from building a settler and get them to start building warriors. We do need at least one unit to defend our city.

Even though im in the War Party i think we should still build a second settler first, that new Austrian city will be defended by maybe 3 or 4 good units by the time we get there (with only warriors), then again it might be defended by one. Either way if we lose attacking it, their units will be stacked and on our capital (and only our capital) like flies round ****.

If, by formatting, you mean the bold, italics, alignment, etc. Then no, it will not carry over.

Oh crap. The Prez and the MoD both in the War Party?

I have tried to write two things for the history thread(one of them was very long) and lost them both times(u can't click the back button twice and refresh in explorer now to recover lost posts ). My post was just maybe some philosophy for the war party? Well i ripped off my fav film and made a Lemur abridged version

No luck on recovering it Neither a new one

That must have been a horrible loss.

too bad

You can do formatting yourself with vBB/HTML tags, that won't show up in Notepad but works fine in the forums.

[b]If you write this in notepad,[/b] it will look like this in the forums.

i know that part.....

As IW is after support from the dancing no war hippy party () in the upcoming MoD election, I thought I'd come tell my fellow War Party members (if you didn't already know) that I'm running for the position of MoD (which currently hold until the election results).

So if you want to see the Austrians beaten at some point in the next 5000 years then be sure to vote for me!

Damn peaceniks


BTW... Turambar... do you subscribe to the ICS theory of early development, or are you in favor of conquest... period?

[Turambar]

Well I can only guess as to what the ICS theory of early development is (build cities not take them?), but I'm all for building up for war now and then attacking Austria.

But best to leave the campaigning until the Election thread is open I suppose.

[MrBaggins]

You've not heard of ICS then?

It stands for 'Infinite City Sleeze'. Its a typical TBS ploy... and had its heyday in Civ2.

It effectively exploits a 'weakness' in the design of TBS games... namely that your cities use 1+POP (basically) squares of resources. Its mathematically advantageous to just build just settlers (and enough defensive units to be viable) whilst you can (subject to space and empire size caps.)

I do agree that we should take an Austrian City, but not at the expense of as rapid an expansion that we can muster, ourselves.
