0 A.D grand crossword puzzle !


Recommended Posts

That was fun, although I was late to the party as I missed it completely. Whats the story about "borgs second account" agride? A imposter? I know borg as "borg_" and "borg-" in the lobby, although I see a borg. now too in the leaderboard.

Also for me "favella" is a phrase chanted when enemy riders run in a strong point and you can take them out fast. As they come to the wrong hood... But I heard it for bad internet too.

I like the cryptic style of the captions for something well-known, rather than using words people don't know. That makes it challenging, but (hopefully) doable. I was curious to try ChatGPT, but oh boy, it failed so miserably. So I thought it would at least help me put the words back into the picture, but it had problems matching the numbers and a whole forest was burnt down in the process to power all the GPUs.
 

So here is my WIP. Can anyone add more? Teamwork makes the... "3v1 gg" messages come sooner.

This field is titled as 'Reason for edit', but I figure you could probably use it as an additional input for whatever you have to say. But that has me wondering, what if I need to make an edit to the text here? Will there be a Reason for edit the reason?

Oh, did I?

If I cross out words that are confirmed, we are left with this:

[7] Dancing
[11] DoS?
[13] Survival
[14] Immortals
[15] Pizza
[21] Smurf

[1] Elo
[2] Fanatics
[4] Chat (ffm says no)
[5] Loot (doesn't match)

[6] Minister
[8] Clubman
[9] Siegetower (my idea was that it would only help dealing damage when garrisoned; but ffm confirmed Hippocrates)
[10] Formation
[17] Javelineers / skirmishers (singular forms ends with the R, but they are one letter too short)
[18] Teleport

I don't see where else to put those words either, if the number is wrong.

I see, so it was more like a destination for the trader! That got me confused. I actually had a nice idea for "a trader's other destiny", which would be a spy. You know, using the never ever researched tech. That would be a nice answer, but it didn't match.

Yoddhas, of course! It starts showing I haven't been playing much recently. Only clubmen came to mind, but I knew I was missing one other infantry type. Also the question wording made me feel it would be a unit that is easy to underestimate, so I wouldn't guess champion infantry (even champion swordsmen are a threat to buildings after all). I would guess the fire cav because they can possibly be confused with regular javelins. I see the question only spoke about their dimensional size though, not their greatness.

Enough talk though, I think can do [4] now:

Oh man, that's on me then, mixed up destination and destiny. I was wondering, that should be easy.

Also Yoda said "judge me by my size do you"

 

Siege towers didn't swore do no harm (hippocratic oath)

 

On today's hint:

[4] It's a one word response and the meme is probably fading, so #1 response is maybe a bit hyperbolic.

Shame on them! I thought it's metaphorical though.

Well, sometimes going to the destination is your destiny.

 

Alright, I'll take one more guess on [4]. But first please gimme a minute while I...
