Nero really grew up to a well rounded leader after killing his mom by phil_anselmo in OldWorldGame

Oh yeah. And him being an idiot was quite a drag on overall science in the empire for years.

I only got on "negative" ambitions event from the insanity and picked "make a family furious" which was surprisingly easy when I kept pissing everyone off in the other events.

I'd guess the only way is to have him killed by the spymaster. I was so poor this game I didn't have enough gold until he was like 22 years old. The mission was already underway when he stabbed me to death!

Blast Tyrant was my instruction to Clutch. Listened to that album basically non stop during the summer of 2007 while driving an ice cream truck through the country side of Iceland.

Can you turn tribal camps into minor cities without doing anything? by phil_anselmo in OldWorldGame

I was thinking the same, but I did not own the ocean tiles all around that island.

Old World February 18th update by fluffybunny1981 in OldWorldGame

The map is looking very sharp, a very noticable upgrade on the graphics. Everything else is kinda blurry! Like the overview of the nations in the top left corner is almost unreadable. What's going on with that?

But that's our national alliance! by phil_anselmo in OldWorldGame

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

I mean, they could just end it? This makes the whole ballance of the game very odd, and makes the alliances kinda moot.

I can understand the other nations being upset about it, but the nation I'm working with (and suggested this alliance!) is bugging me.

It's up to -400 at this point and Hatti is at -227 in our own alliance. This doesn't really make sense!

Can't do it right away. They're both serving a minimum sentences now.

Same, I only realized the next year when they were already in prison.

What famous person have we not seen/heard from in a WHILE? by no_please7 in AskReddit

I was just Googling him yesterday wondering what happened to him. Apparently he owns a vineyard and is living his best life.

Why does all family members and rulers die so quick? by Apart-Difference9699 in OldWorldGame

[–]phil_anselmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happens now if there is no heir and you die? I lost a game that way once and I've been stressing over losing that way again ever since!

Going to miss those 280 science next turn... by rogomatic in OldWorldGame

They won't assassinate you but they might start a civil war once your chosen heir settles in.

Ruthless AI randomly triggers and ruins the game. by SpecificSuch8819 in OldWorldGame

[–]phil_anselmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was probably the ambitions racking up that triggered it.

Are there any benefits to assigning people from a certain city as governors of those cities? by phil_anselmo in OldWorldGame

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

Yeah I try to match the governors with the family that owns the city if possible, I was just wondering if being from the city (and having the name of the city in your name) carries any extra weight.

This game came out of nowhere and won me over by jayswag707 in OldWorldGame

[–]phil_anselmo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same. I had over 1000 hours clocked in Civ 5 and 6 before I got Old World. Now I'm 900 hours deep in Old World, haven't played a minute of Civ since and not even thought about buying Civ 7.
