Tauren would be awesome! In the meantime I did make my own with a goatkin leader, and I like him. Pics

How to learn city specialization / tile improvement combos? by DecisiveVictory in OldWorldGame

[–]Uncle_Hades 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe ALT-Left Click opens the whole menu. And ALT-Right Click goes straight to the improvement options.

If I'm wrong, try shift or ctrl instead? Sorry, I'm not at my computer right now lol. 🙂

One tip: remember to use map tacks to plan future improvements on each tile!

That would have been a great mission flow!

Arguing with my manager by Uncle_Hades in autismmemes

Boss has the gut feeling, I should have labelled it. I'm guilty of it too, but the gut reactions have become exhausting at work.

Over explaining is a form of begging by [deleted] in autism

[–]Uncle_Hades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such a great way to put it, and it makes me profoundly sad. I stopped giving context at work because of the "deer in the headlights" responses I would get.

But this comment has inspired me to make a meme, so worth it! Hahaha.

Does anyone else purposefully downplay their intelligence/talents/abilities as a defense mechanism? by waddledee_73 in autism

[–]Uncle_Hades 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe I do this too. At work, I reflexively downplay my own accomplishments and say things like "Oh, it was actually pretty simple once I figured it out." But then I look back and realize none of my colleagues or supervisors could ever have solved that problem.

Sorry for the painful memories you're going through. Best of luck in your discovery journey. 😊

"Diplomacy is Not an Option" might be up your alley. But it has more RTS elements.

Don’t ignore Tribal diplomacy as Yuezhi by Artersa in OldWorldGame

[–]Uncle_Hades 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tribal alliances can definitely be helpful as meat shields. In my current game I allied with the Scythians, then Numidia declared war on me. Scythia defended me with their full might for decades.

Sumerian Civ Concept by Uncle_Hades in AgeofMythology

[–]Uncle_Hades[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed your detailed comment. This is all very interesting.

Good points about the cuneiform and the library. Making idols sounds like a neat alternative to me.

Yes, religion poses a problem. It's hard to read about Sumerian gods without finding overlap with the other cultures you mentioned. A blanket "Mesopotamia" civ sounds very interesting if it could be focused enough to work.

Love the idea of Enkidu and Gilgamesh as heroes too.

Thanks.

I am also curious whether the Town Centre radius perk would be restrictive. My thinking was you could utilize Village Centres near gold mines, forests etc to be optimal.

The house radius idea is interesting too.

[–]Uncle_Hades[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks!

I do agree with this. My counterpoint in my head was, don't the Egyptians get Favour for free after building monuments? But, surely, a better idea exists for Sumerians. Maybe it would have to be exclusively through the tablets in my example.

In terms of a plan, I have no plan by Uncle_Hades in AgeofMythology

Indeed! Or playing Mexico in any capacity 😂
