PolyCast Episode 67: "That Goes Without Saying"

[DanQ]

Dare to say it anyway. The sixty-seventh episode of PolyCast, an official podcast of Apolyton Civilization Site (ACS), is now netcasting. "That Goes Without Saying" features regular co-hosts Daniel "DanQ" Quick, Makahlua and Imran Siddiqui with returning guest co-host Wouter "Locutus" Snijders and first-time guest co-hosts Neal "Neal", and Sal "Thorburne" Serio.

PolyCast is a bi-weekly audio production in an ongoing effort to give the Civ community an interactive voice on game strategy. A nominee in the "Best Produced" and "Gaming" categories of the 2008 Podcast Awards, sibling show ModCast focuses on Civ modding and RevCast focuses on Civilization: Revolution.

To date, ACS is the only known community on the Web to produce its own Civ podcasts.

Another good episode and great to hear wouter back!

One argument against 1 large SoD is when fighting in the ultra modern age. If you have 1 huge stack, then 2 nukes will totally wipe it out. If you have 2 stacks 2 or more tiles apart, then it will take 4 nukes to totally wipe them out.
