Is lag really a concern with two players? I want 70-75 women for my eco, smaller pop would count against my army; but maybe that's just my take.

I'm not sure smaller pops are advantageous for noobs. Don't know what "closed maps" are and how a noob would tell. I never play arctic biomes because of the wood scarcity, again not sure how that's supposed to help a new player. For my own tips: set the AI behavior to "Defensive" so you can engage on your own terms and you don't get raided and your eco wrecked. There's plenty of guides out there (text and video) reagarding build order, strategy etc.

Something like this. (The yellow triangles in this high quality mock-up stand for a toggle button.)

A while ago I suggested an expandable garrison list.

I think it's about a second (or maybe 1.1) for a point of xp. So, for a rookie spearman to go to elite ~3.5 minutes?

At least their farmsteads? That message came up more than once. Maybe the problem was that it wanted to fully convert their farmstead which was partially captured but didn't have the units to do it. Results may vary. My ally was a total dumdbutt; sent me thousands of wood and was still hoarding thousands more but didn't really build p2 structures nor built up any food producing eco. Orange on the other hand built everything and had a significant pop. Replay attached. commands.txt metadata.json

What the title says. And whatever that means: I don't like it. logs140525.zip savegame-1887.0adsave

I was thinking about Bob Dylan, Joan Baez Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie... Like mentioned here: https://www.si.edu/spotlight/american-folk-music/politics-and-american-folk-music However, https://www.gilderlehrman.org/history-resources/essays/sixties-and-protest-music paints a broader picture, including rock, motown and other styles.

Turns out: if you have paused the game it doesn't progress to let the resignation take effect... Not at all, I just wanted to leave the house.

I just tried to resign from a sp game and nothing happened. If that's intended behavior I think the button should get an appropriate tooltip.

I don't know whether you consider Sugarhill Gang Rap or Hip Hop, but as far as I'm aware their Rapper's Delight was the first hit from that corner; and I wouldn't consider that song overly socio-political. So I wouldn't agree with that simple timeline. How about folk rock in the anti-war movement in the US? You are free to say that. Though that notion wouldn't find much support.

I envy you.

@Obelix For me it looks like it works for guarding a unit.

Hi @vongratz, welcome to the forums. To garrison ships you select your units, give the garrison command (key or button) and then click on the ship.

I know nothing about these things, but if you take an existing thing, rename and import it: does that work?

I usually build twin towers and man them, then get the extra arrow pretty early. Murder holes is next, then the extra reach when I can spare the metal. All depending who I am and what my situation is; sometimes, when there's no traffic at my borders (or I'm iber), I never build or upgrade stone towers myself and just do it later when I captured something. I hardly ever get the other two tecs, if I do it's extra arrow per garrison before (if ever) the extra health.

@Deicide4u I always get them, but don't know if SP counts.

It does.

Yet another approach might be to set the bot's behavior to defensive (via the cog in match setup); expect heavy losses when you do engage, but at least they're not messing up your settlement and eco.

They're usually easier to safely evacuate though. While it is true that I (generally) have more women on food than people on wood, it's not by that margin and due to a. a lot of food going in tec upgrades and b. champ cav costing 1.5-2 x the food (that's what I'm mostly producing late game).

How? Food is the easiest res to, um, farm; once you set up fields it doesn't run out.

Maybe? Just looking for a convenient place where it will be seen/addressed.

Didn't @Langbart have a place where he collected (and corrected) wrong text? Didn't find it.
