Pong 2: R.I.P.

Joe and I tried to startup Pong-2 again last night, but the Summer Patch broke it because of an incompatibility with the Production Queue mod, which we both use. Alas, it was shaping up to be a very interesting, sea-focused game! R.I.P.

 I founded the religion that I'd talked about:


But Monte continued to hate on me:

In the end, the final screenshot: 

The game broke on turn 47. I was unable to build any districts. I could build units, buildings, and add/change the queue, but anytime I tried to build a district, nothing happened. We restarted, and the same thing happened, so we quit.

R.I.P. Pong 2 (July 2017).

Pong 8: Nubia

Image
Greetings, and welcome to Pong 8! This time around, my choices from the draft were Nubia, the Netherlands, and Sumeria. I waffled a bit between Nubia and the Netherlands, but ended up going with Nubia. Mostly because of their super-awesome Archers, which are stronger and get an extra move. That third point of movement allows them to move onto forests or hills and still take a shot, which is obscenely powerful if you use it right. The bonus to District production is nice. It's not something you really notice during the game, but it's a constant bonus you'll be using the whole time. I'm not too thrilled with  Nubian Pyramids . They can only be built on deserts, which greatly limits where they can be. They take a shitty tile and make it less shitty if you have districts nearby. The tile yields never really get all that great, and the tile you build them on needs to be worked by a citizen, as opposed to a district that you could drop there and increase ad...

Pong 5: The Egyptians; People With Animal Heads

Image
For Pong 5 all the players went with random civilizations, and I drew  Egypt . I was hoping for a militaristic civilization after playing an  isolated, island-bound Korea in Pong 4 . I barely fought last game, the majority of my battles were a handful of modern-era naval engagements and  nuking my own territory  to buy myself the handful of turns I needed to make it to Mars. I was hungry for war this time around. While I believe that each civ is what you make of it and that Egypt could be a fine military power with their  Maryannu Chariot Archer , the primary foci of the civ are trade, gold, faith, and district/wonder production. As a self-admitted wonder-spammer, I know before the first turn loads that I'll probably be playing a builder again. Session 1 A pretty decent start. Lots of food, a decent number of hills, and some  Stone  that I can quarry or harvest. My planned build order is still the same, Slinger -> Monum...
