    Poll: Fellow Oldscapists!

    Walks in, now with a beard and a knapsack, looks around, smiles and drops down in his accustomed place Been a while, 'Scapist. I return, a bit older, a bit wearier, a bit more worldly. I've seen the haphazard and intermittent glory of Reddit, the horrors of 4chan and the Joy of Cooking. I see...

    what is your gun and what does it shoot

    The Series 9 Portable NAI.AD (N-type Alternating-current Induction - Armor Destroyer) Sniper Weapon System, manufactured by Seili Projectiles. It accelerates half-inch-diameter jets of pure dihydrogen oxide (H2O) to speeds up to Mach 9 and can punch straight through foot-thick steel plate. It...

    Yup, WALTZ has got it together on this one. I'm mostly a tech tree guy, so I don't really have much to add. I don't think there are still secret pacts in CiV, but I wouldn't swear to it, diplomacy is not my strong suit.

    Double up those WALTZ vote, RAGZ is quite in agreement.

    Apologies for my lack of existence. Been swamped by school and other things. Hurrah college? Anyone wanna catch me up on current events? I've read the latest post of our lackey lacktheknack, but do we have any serious plots in progress? What's happened with the era slingshot? Any luck with...

    Poll: Screw WADS

    There is an alternative to WASD. It's called ESDF. Easier to find since most keyboards have a little raised bump on the F key to help you orient to the home row. You can still reach the Shift and Z keys with your pinkie easily and A, Q and W can all be used for other actions. T functions as...

    The Escapist Plays: Civilization V (MOAR PLAYERS PLS)

    Build the army back up while they're on the retreat. I recommend 2 Mohawk Warriors, 2 Archers and a Catapult if you intend to take his cities. If we don't want to get aggressive, build 2 archers, garrison a weak unit (Warriors or Mohawk Warriors) and array them along our borders to prepare for...

    Alright, I foresaw this. Problem is, he moved faster than I thought he would. :/ First step is to save Thinville. Bombard the northern Hoplites this turn. I'm fairly sure that Thinville can hold out long enough to get our army mobilized. If we lose Thinville, that's alright, because Alexander is...

    The Radically Anti-Government Zealots (RAGZ) Party agrees the WALTZ Party. For the moment. =_=

    I vote Construction on the research. Lumber Mills are quite useful in forested areas and, since we're the Iroquois and will thus be leaving most of the forests intact, LMs will be well worth the investment. I would take this opportunity to rest up our units and, after the Temples are...

    I'm with Waltz (yet again). In terms of that Barbarian Worker, you'll have to capture it (which is as simple as moving a military unit into it's hex). If it was one of our workers, we'll take it. If it isn't, we'll be given a choice, whether to return it to it's original owner or keep it...

    I find myself agreeing entirely with the Queen fan up thereAt least, I assume you're a Queen fan, Waltz. Just a hunch.. >_> So yeah, double up those votes, I don't feel like typing them all out again. XD

    why does everyone expect all snipers to quickscope?

    Because, as my dear friend DSK has pointed out to me several times, you are expected to play at the game's pace, not your own. You'll do much better if you let the enemy come to you rather than running around like an idiot. Unfortunately, other players see that kind of tactical thinking and...
