Warrior General Games

Yeah, played Tropico 5 a bit.

Early game seems more difficult, in that there's actually a threat of being attacked compared to the previous two games. Transitioning from mid-game to end-game just gets to a point where it becomes ridiculously easy. I was earning money faster than I could spend it before finally getting bored.

Without changing settings, disasters seem to either happen more of be more of a pain in the ass than previous games as well, and I find that it doesn't do much more enjoyment. Yes, I know that they can be turned off, but I'm generally a "purist" and like to play the game how it was meant to be played.

thread-jacked

ugh... and this is why I don't do ladder threads

and yes, ciV is a fun game

played tropico 5 and i agree with corn on that

playing a lot of EU IV and civ 5 myself, and the old cive land to vassal and annex is kind of crap now that it just costs diplo points per tax base of land in country to annex and takes a long time to annex for bigger countries

Yeah, I thought the diplo points to annex was a good change. Now whether you conquer or vassalize really depends on your ruler or heir and tech/ideas situation.

It'll get back on course soon with the games actually happening.

GG Benitos - very tough fight

I think I've accepted that we're going to finish this season ~.500. We just can't consistently handle the pro teams or top 5 journeymen teams at this point.

Air Raid, you were playing a team one tier higher and 18 spots higher... I don't think it's a game to be mad about losing

Yorkshire on the other hand, surprised me a bit losing today... I was more confident of that J over Pro matchup than any other this week

I'm not upset. A little perturbed that our offense has stalled as often as it has this season. I'm too busy to do some spreadsheet work on it and figure out what we're doing wrong right now though. I need to recruit Stobie or someone to put a player on my team so I can coerce them into using some of the scouting scripts floating around to dump some high quality data into my lap

we haven't played a passing team in about 10 games - I didn't get the defense optimized quite in time

It surprised us too, if it makes you feel any better.

Andes shows it is the more powerful rodent

We've been really up and down at the benitos; I think we just had one of our up games

two LONGGGGGG blown TD plays (80 yard run off of two broken tackles, 81 yard pass)... not to mention 80 yard kickoff return... story of the game

another loss against a beatable team, so infuriating

Hey now ... I was happy that my WR finally broke a long one, even if it was in a ladder game against a team that's a tier lower than we are.

Seriously, you guys have a very good team.
