Congratulations, you've got like 70% progress towards getting the joke. The title was used here as a symbol for ignorant know-it-all geopolitical thinking, giving one the confidence (but not the knowledge required) to draw generalizing conclusions. This joke wasn't based on the stereotype (what you thought was funny), but rather on the use of stereotypes in making jokes that don't end up sounding as witty as one might think. No... ? The meme didn't say or imply anything about making a progress. Please press F5 to reload the forums, you might be OOS. You might not be realizing what kind of picture you're drawing of yourself by presenting a game like that as your triumph. Let's play the usual bingo challenge for a JC's "winning" game: ☑ No early game from JC. ☑ JC's pocket player had the best score of all the players. ☐ JC himself scored the lowest on his team (not sure, I'll leave this unchecked but probably shouldn't). ☑ The enemy front opposite to JC has lost and resigned before JC took out a single player. ☑ Best partial JC's result achieved through hero dance. ☑ The game balance would allow JC's team to win entirely without him. So, here we have it. A game where JC started building a fortress under my outpost, which would have been a fatal blunder making him shout "1v2" if we both had a similarly ranked pockets. Unfortunately, I got ignored for 30 seconds by my ally who had moved units nearby and thus made me misjudge his understanding of the situation. JC didn't get punished for his mistake, which allowed his pocket to come and push us back. In conclusion, congratulations on destroying one CC before our other front resigned... ? It's getting ridiculous bringing up years old games as some kind of proof of your skills. During the years you say I was "gone", I just kept beating you and making you repeat the same ridiculous excuses for the 100th time. I even said I'd do 1v1 when you actually can win a TG (without a "Bingo!"), but it's been months and I just haven't seen a pro game that you'd win as the MVP. And yet, you are trying to feed your illusion of me being somehow "silenced" while you carefully only use unspecific claims that won't immediately be ridiculed. If I was ever silenced, it was by boredom and predictability of the outcomes.

Seems really nice, eager to try it soon-ish !

Actually weirdJokes discovered the market bug 4 years ago but he didn't abuse it and the few people who heard about it just ignored it. This was because of the unit cost and the lower floats at the time. Karim and Cube demo it in a few TGs in front of many people and it became viral.

Can you send me this list? If i don't found a server alive, i probably create my own.

So if you replace the 100 food cost with 50 food and 50 metal, instead of 55 farmers, youd need 27.5 farmers and 27.5 metal miners. You can always have 24 metal miners, but you might want more for upgrades... which would mean you can not do the tactic exactly as before, so long as you dont have any extra metal. But with just one extra metal deposit, you can easily put the 28 citizen soldiers on metal that you need to have the exact same output of fanatics. Ask yourself why the market abuse possibility went unnoticed for 3 (?) years. Sometimes it just takes time to come up with a tactic. But in this case, there are other factors aswell; the relative strength of melee compared to ranged units, the superiority of cavalry to infantry, etc. which werent the case 3 years ago.

The AI doesn't know how to use champions so of course you would win. You would be able to beat the AI using any unit or strategy, not just Spartiates. You can only convince me that they are op by beating me in a 1v1.

Yep, and your iber walls hadn't saved you from JC in that TG.. what a trauma it was for you .. did it remind you the only 1v1 with him that made u quit 0ad for many years ?

This is actually funny . But i don't really get how reading Mein Kampf has taught me about South American living conditions

Ahh .. sooo .. basically he was good enough to make 4 players too weak to beat 3 .. And this even if he left the game early to host another game .. That guy is op..

...the charts?

Is this thread went restricted? Aprove my post plss

The trolling spirit of this post is very off

wow, the hate is real .. but as long as you fear me and the center of your attention, i'm fine Now, to go back to the topic

Doesn't matter, they are too strong. Please nerf. I win too many games with them against the AI, so they must be broken.

Yes an op player can balance his eco to abuse fanas. Ask your self now why they didnt do that in last alphas when they needed metal for fanas? Anyway i think metal is good solution because an op player although still can make fanas but he cant make mass fanas because he needs lot of metal. Here Aslan sometimes sucide his fanas easily! But his sucide still works. U know why? Because wasting wood and food is nothing compared to wasting metal when u can slow down your opponent.

I never said i want to balance the game. Im here to report the issues. And i say my suggestions, may sb find them useful.

The P1 Spartiates will take a heavy toll on the player's eco and cannot be spammed in large quantities due to the special building which is an extra cost. Even in P3, their cost and slow movement still deters players from overusing them. Finally, the Spartan civ is a weak one in A27 due to its other flaws, so having one above average unit doesn't cause a huge issue

You know it will be "Yes" eventually. Why not start early?

Please no, one thread arguing in circles about one random unit is bad enough, we don't need another one....

Yes, usually its the onagars that get used and the infantry, I had never seen the cavalry in use till recently and only in one game, and I myself have never used them

Besides cost effectiveness, you must consider the activation cost. Champs are much more cost effective than citizens but they have such a large initial investment that blocks players out from making them. Fanatics are the champs with a low activation cost, because food and wood are gathered en mass and the 100 each is nothing for a P2 player. You can put 70 units at one forest and station 55 womens to farm, but the metal mines and stone mines allow up to 24 units only @TheCJ raised a good point about viability. Fanatics are only available for Gauls and other civs Dont have effective counters
