Post making contest 4.0

This is update #215.

So they accidentally made two episodes available today, and despite having unlisted the sixth one quickly I've still got the link. Having said that, I don't think I want to spoil myself, soooooo...

• Trott: "how do you move an archer unit onto a barbarian camp" try using the MOVE function
  
• okay Tom cannot take Exodia any more by the looks of things (especially if he queues up the moves on his battering ram like that)
  
• Sjin: "I'm building a settler right now for some reason" *twitch* YOU HAVE TWO CITIES
  
• oh Rythian built Petra I thought he had like four desert tiles
  
• Smiffy: "is Belgrade a city state or does that belong to somebody" DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT A CITY STATE LOOKS LIKE
  
• and now, a musical interlude
  
• Rythian: "are there shitloads of barbarians around your main city Smiffy?" Smiffy: "yeah" THE NEAREST BARBARIAN IS SEVEN HEXES NORTH guess you're not getting that trade route from the civ whose caravans help you
  
• oh they've managed to actually communicate this well done
  
• Trott: "when a city state requests a luxury and I have that luxury, when I establish a trade route does it automatically go through that?" Rythian: "yes" *twitch*
  
• TROTT THAT WAS A NONSENSICAL STATEMENT LUXURY QUESTS FOR CITY STATES ARE COMPLETED THE MOMENT YOU ACQUIRE A COPY OF THAT LUXURY IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TRADE ROUTES WHICH ARE AN ENTIRELY SEPARATE MECHANIC AND HAVE THEIR OWN TYPE OF QUEST
  
• oh Rythian realised he was wrong, then Trott disputed it and then Rythian backed down to his original WRONG position
  
• so Mark and Tom are making themselves irrelevant good to know
  
• Smiffy: "can I build a road when it has a pasture on the same tile?" YES
  
• Trott is correct the automatic road builder is complete shit
  
• it is turn 63 Sjin still hasn't settled Sinai it is six tiles west of his capital
  
• huh there's a city state buffer east of Rythian that's even better for him IF HE COULD JUST SETTLE SOME MORE CITIES
  
• like his capital is great and all and that second city is a lovely blocker city but LOOK AT HOW THERE'S AN ENTIRE PENINSULA UNEXPLORED TO HIS WEST LOOK AT ALL THE EMPTY LAND TO HIS EAST
  
• yeah Tom won't be able to get that battering ram through Archer Avenue
  
• Smiffy: "hey Rythian I'm building a road between us" YES THAT IS TOTALLY USEFUL AND OF TOP PRIORITY
  
• Chefchaouen (the second name the Huns have stolen from the Moroccans) is one of those ill-mannered forward settles the AI tends to spring on you, often just as you're running your own settler to that area. Normally also the AI manages to settle it precisely one tile off the optimal spot, but I don't think Tom's done that here; with the observatory bonus for mountain adjacency removed in the mod, it's fine to settle off them, and having the spices in your first ring is well worth it - plus it leaves room for another city on the river to the west...
  
• TOM YOU DO NOT NEED FOUR BATTERING RAMS BUILD SOME FUCKING HORSE ARCHERS FOR CHRIST'S SAKE
  
• Mark: "I need to get a second city out... maybe even get a third city out" uh huh uh huh
  
• (you may also want a worker to deal with the fact your entire empire is on fire)
  
• SJIN BROUGHT A MOUNTAIN SO HE COULD BUILD MACHU PICCHU THAT'S AN ACTUAL COMPETENT PLAY
  
• OR IT WOULD BE IF HE HAD ANY CITY CONNECTIONS THAT WOULD BENEFIT FROM IT
  
• (like he doesn't even have the one between his two cities and that'll scarcely be worth it BUILD MORE BLOODY CITIES)
  
• Mark: "is there a way to see [how many cities people have]?" yep Rythian correctly points out that you can see this in the trade menu
  
• TROTT IS GOING TO FOUND HIS FOURTH CITY BE STILL MY BEATING HEART
  
• BESHBALIK IS FOUR TILES FROM SINAI AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
  
• Sjin: "I founded a city, although give its location you might as well call it a shitty" THEN WHY DID YOU FOUND IT THERE
  
• LOOK ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS SCOUT WEST AND SEE IF YOU CAN SETTLE THOSE DESERT HILLS AND STILL HAVE ENOUGH FOOD THE BANANAS WOULD SUGGEST SO
  
• then you'd have room for your fourth city a little further up that river towards the land that YOU STILL HAVEN'T SCOUTED YET JESUS CHRIST
  
• why are none of these people capable of realising that once a unit has taken its action that turn its symbols greys out and it can't perform any more no matter how many times you click frantically
  
• SJIN NO
  
• NO WAIT MARK NO
  
• WHY CITADEL THERE IF YOU'RE GONNA CITADEL BUILD IT TOWARDS TOM
  
• YOU KNOW, THE FRONT YOU'RE GETTING INVADED ON

tl;dr - FOUND SOME MORE FUCKING CITIES PEOPLE

End of message.
