Civ II Advisory Council Advice

[Winston]

Grandpa Troll's post in another thread got me thinking, how many of the sayings from the Civ II Council videos are still stuck in our minds after all these years?

Let's hear'em!

First two pieces of advice though:

1. Post just one at a time
2. By memory only, please. No cheating!

Ok, here's one,

Happiness Advisor: "Wise men say that only fools run empires without luxuries .. King"

[Harovan]

Gimme more soldiers, noble leader, so that we can sheath our swords with the beating hearts of our enemies!

[Winston]

"Where I come from, we don't fraternize with the enemy, General. ..How about yourself??"

[Harovan]

Do you want to defend our cities with haystacks? Build city walls now, and other improvements later!

[Winston]

Best idea I've had in years.

"You're lettin' our crack troops go to waste, General. Let's go bonk some heads, Sir!!"

[Harovan]

yea, good one!

Late response (had breakfast meanwhile):

"Let us build market places, so that the peasants can barter for needed goods."

Off to work.

Edit: fixed violation of rule #1

"Would that we could wall up your gaping mouth, Platehead!"

(Sorry. )

[Seeker]

"I'm off to Grease my Abacus"

[The Mad Monk]

I have never had this one in game, and I doubt anyone here has; it's the financial advisor in modern times:

"This is you, this is a clue. Get. A. Clue. And RESEARCH TRADE!!!"

[Provost Harrison]

"Let's go bonk some heads"...an interesting expression

[Harovan]

"When love and wine the life maintain... No complaint, Sire!"

I loved when the fat guy sung that. This time I was usually busy to clean the filth from the map with cavalries. I rarely waited for howitzers.

[Ecthy]

"You're Einstein, sir, I mean you are the E to be MC². We're number one in sciiiieeeeeence"

[Arrian]

[drunken signing] - military advisor during a war you were winning.

edit: ****e, SR beat me to it, with the lyrics, even.

That was prolly my favorite. That, and an Elvis one I can't quite seem to remember.

"We're rich, sire, rich Rich RICH!"

[Lord Avalon]

D'oh! I can't remember what the foreign advisor said exactly about trading techs (and this when I was "#1 in science"), but I liked it when all the others would say,

"I disagree, sire."

Edit: Drunken military advisor.
