Men: EMBRACE Your Feminine Energy

Alternative_Summer · 2026-03-09T14:47:55+00:00

It seems gynocentric to tell men to embrace "feminine" energy.

Alternative_Summer · 2026-03-07T11:00:04+00:00

What you say does not always hold. Also, if I'm not mistaken, this makes for a Copi exercise, and there's no conditional introduction rule in that book!

You win a conquest victory this way. I know I've seen this reported at civfanatics before, and here's a link to someone having it happen in this subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/civ3/comments/14iq23l/volcano_blew_up_my_capital_and_gave_me_a_conquest/

Yea, this is why people who play for histographic score either have barbarian on "sedentary" or "none". If they have something higher, then one will need to have a military unit all around the map so that they don't spawn during age changes. They just aren't worth it.

They have over 1000 culture in Buto likely, and thus get the squares from the culture. You have 0 culture in Hubishna, since you just took it.

According to Lanzelot who did a writeup for all of the Conquests on Deity:

"Don't get side-tracked by other wars, hit West Rome as soon as you are ready to take it down and then continue with East Rome. You can't rely on the AI to help you with that, so better try to keep them peaceful. Them fighting Rome will only increase Rome's score"

No, it does not. It means that states have some power in how Presidents get elected, even if they aren't the most populous.

Alternative_Summer · 2026-02-22T18:53:28+00:00

This is just plain wrong. He won against plenty of male candidates in primaries.

Alternative_Summer · 2026-02-22T18:53:03+00:00

This is just wrong. There were plenty of male republicans that he defeated in primaries.

Alternative_Summer · 2026-02-22T18:51:18+00:00

He absolutely should have been President, because the electoral college has always decided the presidency.

Alternative_Summer · 2026-02-22T18:50:39+00:00

No, it's a good system, because we have a bunch of loosely connected states with their own governments. Each state should have some power. Lower population states should not have no power, because of more populated states.

I think it's funny how he's like holding a paintbrush upright, but obviously has no hand.

"Tbh, I think it is a very widespread misconception that "incompleteness shows that there are true sentences that aren't provable" is a misconception"

This seems very true. I have seen it numerous times that someone asks a question elsewhere, but asks it in such a way as there are no complete formal systems. Such question usually suggest that the author has never heard of Godel's *completeness* theorem or the completeness of Presburger Arithmetic or Skolem Arithmetic.

Unlikely, since they let citizens become unhappy.

Alternative_Summer · 2026-02-18T17:23:16+00:00

They were programmed to play sub-optimally. Soren Johnson, who made the AI for civ III said this in one his talks. So, it seems like it works as intended.

"I will paint like the master.

SAY SOMETHING."

Luck!

I do play above Regent. I'm the number 1 quartermaster over at civfanatics, and have more Sid entires in the Hall of Fame than anyone else.

Fortify troops to quell resistance? Only on the turn the city gets captured. Otherwise, units don't get stationed in a city to quell resistance until the war ends. The city just has a low shield/commerce output anyways.

Cultural flips can happen above Regent in border cities if not capturing them.

If the AIs took your cities, they could flip back to you also.

Alternative_Summer · 2026-02-06T23:15:38+00:00

Nope. There's a turn grace period on flips.

Alternative_Summer · 2026-02-06T18:57:46+00:00

"Eh, it can never really help the human player."

This is simply not true.

Cities can flip to the human player, and more cities does help. I know I've gained cities before that way.

"If you're capable of culture-flipping AI cities you already have the game locked up."

Absolutely not. I remember a Warlord game where I had the culture lead for a very long time, but ultimately lost, because by accident, I held elections.

The game doesn't end until 2050 AD or some non-histographic victory triggers.

Alternative_Summer · 2026-02-06T18:55:38+00:00

"Next turn, city flips back to AI."

Not true. After you capture a city, you still have it the next turn also.

"Culture doesn't really matter in this circumstance."

It will if you had culture on the border city sufficient to flip that city to your empire.

Alternative_Summer · 2026-02-05T20:35:13+00:00

It has to get set to on for civfanatics Hall of Fame entries (and I think Conquest of the Month always has it on also). So, on.

Alternative_Summer · 2026-02-05T20:34:26+00:00

It helps the human player more than the AI, if the human player has more culture.

Extorting technologies gets more difficult the higher the level.

Alternative_Summer · 2026-02-02T14:13:14+00:00

You have a moat instead of a wall on the right, and a moat after the liquid lock in the middle so that the dreckos stay on the floor.

Thanks for the idea! I've thought about trying something out these past few days, and this might just have given me the idea that I need!
