I've decided to revisit Civ after this thread. I'm a bit rusty. Haven't played in over a year, but
I dedicate this game to the forum nuts...
First, I've elected to play Scotland so I can drop unnecessary U's in the spelling like some folks here like to do. My capitol is House of Shenanigans. Neighboring my capitol is of course the Shenanigan Elves Gift Shop and the
Banshee House. And when you live next door to the Banshee House, well, it's absolute chaos! True to form, nobody knows how to fight when within the vicinity of the Banshee House. It's overrun by barbarians several hundred years ahead of me in tech. My army's stuck in medieval times still using crossbows and knights while they're already running amok with 19th century toys like field cannons and guns.
But it's not all drunken lunacy and chaos though. We did carve out a little nook up north in the tundra for the literary people out there so they can study their philology (another point for me,
@MaidenFair) and reference their OED usage in abbreviated form like everyone just knows what it means. It's too cold to go outside so our bibliophiles can just stay indoors with their tea. They need to hit the books harder though because we're being way out-teched right now and everyone else is busy swinging from chandeliers and drinking Jagermeister instead of studying. They get a the beautiful view of a natural wonder, the Ubsunar Hollow, though.
And of course, nobody is ever entirely happy with the map sometimes so we've got a city stuck out in the desert surrounded by nothing but sand in every direction, which makes it the perfect location for a seasonal Halloween Costume Shop come October.
Then over on the other side of my civilization, far far away from the terrors of the Banshee House, we of course have the always dependable Squirrel's Sig Shop with
@Sir Squirrel quietly doing his thing and hopefully pumping out massive culture for us. We also have the Social Media Coordinator Office to help advertise the position is still available. Oh hey, wait a minute, there's actually someone in there...
Last but not least, let's check out the competition. I am Robert the Bruce on the far right.
Yeah, everyone is friendly and likes me except that fella at the end with the frownie face. That's Kupe, the leader of the Maori civilization, who's probably related to the Community Manager of Tonga. So yeah, things are going about as you'd expect, just like on the forums.
Alright, assuming we'll magically take care of that barbarian situation over by the Banshee House, there's still room left to plant a few more cities. If you got ideas on what I should do with them, drop your comments in the suggestion box.
