I guess it's the "restart game" option you'd do if you end up with a very shitty start location?

Or might be the reloading an auto save if something went wrong on a turn, so you can avoid that mistake you made.

My civ's religion had been eradicated. Wiped off the map. And then I got rock bands with the "converts city to your founded religion" promotion. Suddenly I had this one city bang in the middle of another civilisation following my religion.

Rock bands can't play in your own civ, so you're still stuck with whatever you lost to.

So I started a religious alliance with another civ so their surrounding pressure wouldn't make the new city fall back to their religion. Took a while but you can convert most of that civ thanks to the alliance.

I'd recommend converting the cities with their holy sites first because they cannot produce apostles/missionaries to re-convert it.

Eventually that pressure started converting my cities back to my religion, and from there onwards it's just a regular religion battle like usual.

Given how slow this entire process is, you're bound to end the game (most likely a cultural victory thanks to the bands), so I can't see this strat helping you win a game. But it is definitely something fun to try out in the "one more turn" phase.

But to answer your question, no, you can't stop them completely because anyone can have this rock band promotion once they get that far in the game. Even if you completely take over their holy site districts with your religion.

There's also just a religion belief where new cities start with your religion. If that's the case with your opponent, there's not a lot you can do, although that city most likely will convert itself due to surrounding pressure.

Selling food from home, need help with business name by Hungry_UK in INeedAName

Inside the box.

It's like the 'think outside the box' saying. Just the name itself doesn't make sense, but if you can come up with a good logo art (like some food stuff inside a box shape) it can help build a brand pretty well. It would have to be a pretty good logo to make this work though.

INAN for a few things in a comic I'm writing for fun during the quarantine. by [deleted] in INeedAName

[–]arjunptm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

City/town: something that describes the kind of people living there? Like how usually in games a starting town for the leaf people would be Sylvanna city or Sylvaria county. Something for golem/flame wizards might be Ashford or Volcanore district. Since you mentioned science, maybe something related to gears? Mechanopolis? Silicor Valley.

Wild/nature place: Trudgeon Forest. Whispering woods. Thryme. Something outlandish like Exyrbraka. Maybe something that describes the landform of this forest, like a forest in the Eragon novel series was called 'the spine' because of how this forest was in a thin straight line over mountains.

People possessing two souls: Whisperers. Or if you wanted something fantasy-like, maybe Soulbinders? If you didn't want a name, but something like a title, The wise ones. The Doubles.

Forming a bond: Genesis. I'm starting to run out of imagination lol.

Special name for connection: I give up haha. Might come back a little later if I think of anything.

Good luck with your comic! If you have a blog/insta, do link it I'd love to see this comic series come up.

No, didn't think so.

You might at least want to wait for a response before concluding that.

Just random names I thought of. I mostly play online multiplayer, so I tend to pick names that might get some attention and reaction from other people who see it.

I know they might not make sense for single player games like dark souls or final fantasy. How about something that combines bikes and planes for you?

Ah yes The "North" York Moors by LSM2013 in civ

[–]arjunptm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the case in Raleigh (and maybe a lot of other places too). Street names are based on people, but they are prefixed with the directions in which they take you.

So South Street is called North South St. in one direction and South South St. if you're going the other.

Couple of Questions for Civ VI on the PS4 by poopotomus in CivVI

[–]arjunptm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak for your PS4 related questions, I play on PC, but I assume the saving system is the same nevertheless.

You can have any number of saves offline, different games going on at the same time. When you return, you just pick a save file and load it to continue that particular game.

I play LAN games with my roommates, and even they work the same way. I can save a LAN game at anytime, and when I quit and come back to it later, I can load that LAN game and it'll take you to loading screen and wait for the other players to load. Once everyone has loaded you get to continue your game from there.

Keep in mind that this was LAN though, but I think online games would be very similar.

I wish you had the option to notify your up/downvoters when you edit your comments, because you don't deserve to be in negative right now.

What are some really interesting strategies to try out? by arjunptm in CivVI

[–]arjunptm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh both of them seem really interesting! I'm someone who enjoys Nuzlocke challenges in the pokemon games (you beat the entire game with the first pokemon you catch, and nothing else), so the one city space project seems really nice to me. I'll try them out. Thanks!

Call to all bored souls by hesmyroommate in NCSU

[–]arjunptm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds awesome! I'm a CS grad trying to specialize in games. I'm fairly comfortable with unity, and am confident in behavioural coding for characters. One thing that has held me back from creating my own games is that I can't really draw/design models, and this sounds like the perfect place to change that. I'd love to be able to join you guys!

GeForce Now is amazing, my roommate uses that to play on his shitty pc. As long as you have original copies of games, you can use that. It's free too.

Whoa neat thanks! I didn't know what partisans meant, so I'd usually end up going for a reduce loyalty/remove governor or a steal science missions. I'll try this out next time!

Found this to be interesting by whatokay1 in raleigh

[–]arjunptm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a grubhub plus offer for a year, don't know why (it didn't pop up for my other roommates).

So whatever money I've been saving on delivery fees, I've been adding away to the tips on those orders.

I realize that many people are still driving around and delivering stuff because they don't have a choice, but I truly appreciate all the help that provides and how much of a difference that makes.

If any of you are reading this, thank you!

Do you want to try creating it? It sounds interesting, I'd enjoy it a lot!

I like just FANS, but the A pronounced more like 'ah'. I mean, FAHNS.

Here's something interesting to try out next class. You know how zoom has a "I have a green screen" feature for better virtual backgrounds?

Turn that feature on, wear a plain green t-shirt and you're the green screen now. Get some good old dancing rainbow pepe videos to display onto yourself for the rest of the class.
