How many of you Escapist people are Australian?

(And for the record, i think that Rome Total War is a better game as opposed to Medieval Total War- for the simple reason i can see whats happening on the battlefield when i play RTW)

true dat.
Though, I'm stuck in egypt right now and all the sand storms are giving me a headache.
I'm so close to finishing, all that's left is Egypt and a few rinky dink nations to the north and south. My forces are hugely divided, transportation's a *****(half my men die when I sail them across the damned ocean, other half get stuck at mountain passes)and all of my really good generals are dying off from old age or disease.
On the bright side, I just bred 3 armies of war dogs that I pimped out specifically to eat those damned Egyptian chariots alive! Now lets just hope they survive the sail across the sea...

Never thought of using war-dogs against them god-damn chariots...i take it that war-dogs are the way to deal with chariots?

It does become a ***** controlling ones Empire when it grows to a massive size, all i can suggest is building up your conqured cities so they can train more advanced units, de-centralising your military centre away from Italy and towards the perpheries of the Empire. Oh, and when it comes to public order, sometimes it pays to allow the city to stage a civil revolt, and then re-conquor the city, massacaring the population. Public order is good for about 10 turns, tax revenue increases, and you can work on improving the settlement without riots and what not.

Now, i tackled Egypt by staging a landing with 3 large armies, one landed at Jerusalem and captured the city, whilst the other two landed at Alexandria, one captured the city while the other marched onto Memphis. I did not really have a problem with losing ships at sea because i had naval supority, and the way to do that is by building lots of Quamarines. The Egyptians sort of threw themselves at my Quamarines and kept losing, their numbers dwindled and i became more aggresive with my navy once i began thinking of taking over Egypt. I pursued their ships, and once their ports were blockaded i had naval dominance of the sea. Then it was a matter of staging the actual invasion. The main problem with Egypt for me i found was hunting down the Egyptian armies which lurked in the desert- the Egyptians are tenacious buggers.

One of my major irks with the game is that general's spawn in the capital city, and its a pain sending your generals out on a massive hike half way across Europe just to take up posting as a settlements new governer for the sake of public order. If only, once you had a general in a city, their children also spawned there rather than in the captial city, on the other side of the bloody continent.

The Chelsea Match Was Good. yeah im a CFC fan, but the game was a bit dull the first half. Villa didnt attack and chelsea couldnt string anything meaningful together due to the good defence they put up.... its a wonder what Drogba's shit scrappy goal made... seemed to break Villa's spirit and boost Chelsea's Significatly.
Sorry, was that slightly to anaylitical for a thread that has no real meaning?

Nope not really. Personally I felt that if Drogba hadn't had scored the goal that caused Villa to break down then it would definately have gone into extra time. I'm actually a Portsmouth fan myself so now that we're relegated we only have the FA Cup. But we're playing Tottenham which isn't exactly a good sign. With them having Redknap, Belhadj, Crouch and Defoe (our 3 great players and great manager) and O'Hara (our new best player) being cup-tied I feel like we'll be smashed. Plus last time we played (like a week ago ish) we lost 2-0. Not a good sign.

On that note, why are there so many Goddamn ostriches? And there's another thing! I stepped outside to play tennis today, and the whole courtyard was littered with dead bees! The fucking beetards were so stupid they froze to death overnight!

Didn't have proper vodka. The vodka would have have stopped them from freezing

They'd have frozen faster actually. Vodka only stops you from feeling the cold. That means your more likely to expose yourself in the freezing. A bee follows the same principle. To truly warm up...drink mulled wine. Its gooooood.

I just realized something, wouldn't chocolate pants be awsome?

Actually, I fail to see that they would be any good for anything. Terrible at being pants because they'd melt; terrible at being chocolate because nobody wants to eat chocolate that's been hanging out near a person's genitals.

Unless, I suppose, they were being worn by a really, really sexy person.

But still. No good at being pants.

I'm sorry but i have to kill you.



Unless you're a Mew.

Are you?

Here's the basic gist of it. Vodka has a lower freezing temperature but that doesn't determine how it effects you. However what it does is widen your blood vessels. This means more blood is rushing past at a time. This makes you feel warm but it also means that more warmth can be drawn out of the blood by the surroundings. This decreases body heat leading to hypothermia and the generally unlikeable situation of frozenness.

I've decided to sit down this week and start beating some games I never finished. I beat GTA 4 a few days ago, now on to The Saboteur.

I've decided to sit down this week and start beating some games I never finished. I beat GTA 4 a few days ago, now on to The Saboteur.

I keep wanting to do that with Eternal Sonata but I keep getting very distracted. It is a pain in the ass. I mean I like the game but something always pops up and I don't go back to it. Argh!

(And for the record, i think that Rome Total War is a better game as opposed to Medieval Total War- for the simple reason i can see whats happening on the battlefield when i play RTW)

Better then Medieval 2 as well? I'm only asking cause I was given that as a gift last week and though I've yet to play it it looks really cool. I mean I remember playing Shogun: Total War a little while back so I'd have thought that would only get better. Personally I'm thinking of getting another between Empire and Napoleon. Any recommendations (don't say anything other then those 2 since I want to go into the 18th century onwards... Rifles etc I find more entertaining to none). I mean I love Napoleon (like the general) but then again Empire looks really interesting.

BIG PORTAL MONKEY LIVENING IN MY DRAWER
(it has been derailed)

Sounds like a very interesting Drawer. Is it a big Portal to a monkey world? Or a Big Monkey that if you touch it it transports you to another monkey since it is a portal? And got any other awesome shit in there?
