Query: Was I supposed to read that as though it were HK:47 speaking?

Um...found a city and move your warriors two blocks east, so that they may get stuck in the trees see more terrain from the mountain.

Also what's going on here, some mod playing games with us? In which case, cool!

WE MUST RECOVER THE TEMPORAL SCOUTS, AND KEEP THEIR KNOWLEDGE OUT OF THE HANDS OF THE LUDDITES.

Let's go with Archery

I'm going to jump to conclusions here and say that the spambots have finally gained sentience, and I'm very proud that they've chosen to play the Civilization franchise. Also they've learnt to time-travel, so maybe Skynet did become self-aware.

 

[theheroofaction]

Name settlement Loxemberg

Select animal husbandry.

 

[saintdane05]

Archery is a good step if you want to conquer. However, you are in need of resources, which might make mining a better option

 

[Alssadar]

Given your circumstances surrounded by the massive beasts of the Earth, I would suggest the development of animal husbandry, so one can obtain and harness the power of such creatures.

 

[Andy Shandy]

Ah, nothing like some random Kross forum fuckery.

And personally I tend to kick off with Animal Husbandry, if I remember correctly.

 

[Scrustle]

I don't understand what's going on here but it sure is bloody entertaining.

POPULAR OPINION SEEMS TO BE THAT MEATBAGS DESIRE ADDITIONAL SUBSERVIENT MEATBAGS FOR MOTIVATION. ONE CAN ...EMPATHIZE ...WITH SUCH REQUIREMENTS.

IF SUCH NEEDS WILL ASSIST IN THE MOTIVATION OF OUR RANGED SUPERIORITY OVER LOCAL SUBJECTS AT FUTURE DATES, THE LOYAL SHALL HAVE THEIR ANIMALS.

Holy WTF.

This reminds me of something...

Oh kross...

Brilliant strategy!

I recommend continued running away. The enemy, upon seeing us flee in terror, will give us sanctuary within their borders.

THE WARRIOR HAS RECEIVED THE ORDER TO TACTICALLY FLEE.
NOW IT IS TURN 3.

ALREADY ONE CAN FEEL THE INFLUENCE OF OUR GROWING CULTURE IN ONE'S PROSE.
TIME ADVANCES 120 CYCLES.

Spoiler: AND MUCH WAS REVEALED

OUR STRATEGIC RETREAT HAS REVEALED 3 LOCATIONS OF INTEREST.
1.) DEER FOR HUSBANDING
2.) ANCIENT RUINS, POSSIBLY LEFT BY A FUTURE ITERATION OF OUR CURRENT COURSE OF ACTION.
3.) THE OUTSKIRTS OF A SUPPLICANT NATION.

[Kross]

WHERE SHOULD OUR BRAVE UNIT RUN AWAY TO NEXT?

The ruins of course. WHAT'S YOUR GAME, BOT.

 

[Saviordd1]

What...did...I...just...read?

 

[Pearwood]

Oh fuck the robots are attacking. I think. They're doing something anyway and it scares me!

 

[saintdane05]

The ruins are a good place to check. The mistakes of those punchcard using fools might give you some insight into your current situation.
