So you guys should Google Pokemon Glazed. It's a ROMhack of Emerald that takes place in a whole new region, and it has all of the Gens I through III pokemon, as well as most of the Sinnoh/Unova pokemon as well. And you get 5 starters to choose from-the three Sinnoh ones, as well as Riolu and Shinx. It's so fucking awesome. Seriously, this is one of the most well put together hacks I've ever seen.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/03/18/disney-officially-announces-the-incredibles-2-and-cars-3-are-in-the-works-Source Honestly...I'm kinda mad about that. I've always thought that the Incredibles was a fantastic story on its own, and it really didn't NEED to be continued. On top of that, I always thought that Brad Bird's commitment to not giving it a sequel despite the obvious want for it was fairly admirable. I dunno, I'm curious to see what you guys think about it.

It's a callback to the original Civ-basically, Gandhi's aggressiveness was set at 1 normally. However, adopting Freedom puts your aggressiveness back 2. This caused a bug where he'd go into the negatives and then the computer would put him at 12 to compensate, resulting in the hyper-aggro nuke-crazy guy we all know and love (Because you usually got your ideology around the time you got nukes). Firaxis basically just keeps that in now as a joke.

Here's a data thingy with all of the traits for all the civs- http://civdata.com/ 10 is highest/most likely that a Civ'll do it, 1 is least. It's actually kinda neat that you mentioned Venice/the Mongols' loyalties, you can see that while the Mongols are fiercely loyal, their willingness to actually be friends in the first place is fairly low-and vice versa with Venice.

Yeah, never really had a problem with the Ottomans either. Also, I should probably post a little addendum to my warmongers list-if you can get Atilla or Genghis on your side, they will be your bro the entire game. One of my best games was a large map with me (the Shoshone) teaming up with both of them and just steamrolling everyone. They just don't care how much warmongering you do, because chances are they're the ones holding down your enemy while you punch them in the gut. You just gotta make it absolutely clear to them at the very beginning that you're stronger than they are, and then you're their best bud for the rest of the game.

I actually don't agree with the Great Library on higher difficulties. Civilizations will start with Pottery after a certain difficulty level and have a production boost, meaning that you are pretty much guaranteed to miss out on the Library, which means you've just wasted valuable time that you could have spent making units or improvements or workers. Exactly-which is why I only recommended it for difficulty levels 1-4, really. Sorry, should've made that more clear. Pretty much anything above Prince, you're just not getting GL. It's more or less completely impossible unless you have a magical Christmasland start/ruins.

Hiawatha and Kamehameha do this all the time too, to the point where sometimes you have to make blockades of your own cities so that missionaries can't get through. One game Hiawatha had an insane amount of faith and sent something like 8 missionaries to my capital, one after another.

So much this. Here's a few tips that I can think of off the top of my head: -Steal a neighboring city-state's worker, then immediately make peace with the city-state. Gives you a free worker, which *should* help immensely, especially early-game. Don't do it too many times though, if you keep declaring war on city-states they'll eventually just collectively go "fuck this" and declare war on you for the rest of the game. It isn't fun. -Almost always have your cities on either food or production focus-the default focuses too much on gold, and makes really crappy cities. Better yet, manage your citizens manually, ensuring that you get the exact tiles worked that you want. -Great Library, Petra and Hanging Gardens are (in my opinion) the absolute BEST wonders to get, especially early game. If you're doing levels 1-4, and sometimes 5, you can and should be trying to go for these. I almost always beeline writing so that I can rush a Library-the science bonus it gives you is amazing, and the free tech is great too. -For the most part, the top of the tech tree is more science/culture based, while the bottom is more heavily military/production. -Even if you're going for a culture/science victory, ALWAYS KEEP AT LEAST A SMALL STANDING ARMY. This is absolutely CRUCIAL. Civ's AI is notoriously stupid, and known for being a complete asshole. Keeping 5 or 6 units on standby (and upgraded) can be the difference between life and death. -If any of the following Civs are found nearby you in a game, you will have to fight them at some point. They're extremely bad warmongerers: Shaka (Zulus) Alexander (Greeks) Genghis Khan (Mongolia) Bismark (Germany) Montezuma (Aztecs) Ashurbanipal (Assyria) Atilla (Huns) -Some Civs won't outright declare war on you, but they'll just be complete jerks another way. 2 big people to watch out for are Catherine (Russia) and Hiawatha (Iroquois). They're basically coded to backstab you. Don't trust them. That's all I can really think of right now, hit me up on Steam if you've got any more questions or anything. Hope that helps a bit! Good luck!

What ever even happened to Witty? He just kinda fell off the face of the planet over the summer.

Played a bot match as Kog, and wow. Just...wow. His kit is SO GOOD now. I've always leveled his E last, I'm just not a huge fan of it. But his Q is actually usable now-and it's actually decent too! Hit someone with it before you pop your W, and just watch their HP melt. Building a Last Whisper is now mandatory-I read somewhere that with a level 5 Q and a LW, you're straight up ignoring something like 56% of their armor and magic resist. And don't even get me started on how amazing Bio-Arcane Barrage is now that you don't pay mana for it. Kog'Maw feels spectacular now. He's always been in my top 3, but now...I'm so happy, you guys. This is EXACTLY what he needed.

I've always been a Bloodthirster first kind of guy whenever I play ADC, but after trying out an early BotRK build, I gotta say that I really like it. You still get the tons of lifesteal, and damage seems to be fairly equal to that of starting with Bloodthirster, depending on the target. Not sure if it's the best thing for any ADC, but for the ones I've tried (Kog, Ashe, Jinx) it seems effective enough. Also, Kog is getting crazy buffed next patch and I'm SO excited. They're making his Q actually usable now-it's now a skillshot that does higher base damage that shreds a percentage of the target's armor and magic resist, instead of just a flat amount. And they also made his W have no mana cost. This could be the buff he's needed to actually be viable! Whoo hoo!

So in honor of St. Patrick's Day, Ross and Barry are taking over the channel all day and drunk gaming. But instead of drinking during the sessions, they start the games while already stupid drunk. It's literally the funniest thing ever.

Way ahead of you, buddy. I had to fill in some areas because of the sheer amount of mobs, but yeah-that mine's one of the main reasons why I settled here.

What's your area again?

We have. asdf i need like 30 rods I'd love some rods too...I could really use the powder to turn my Ender Pearls into eyes so that we could a) get the existing portal online, and b ) find the other 2 strongholds.

Honestly, it's a really good point. If this is the kick in the ass some people need to get their shit together, then maybe it's a good thing.

The Horse Islands are remaining neutral-we have no desire to partake in the mainland's conflicts.

True-don't forget the passive move speed on both Shiv and Phantom Dancer. Helps a lot.

I sometimes build it, it's absolutely BRUTAL if you pair it with a Bloodthirster/Blade of the Ruined King. In teamfights/lane fights (with minions around) you heal just an insane amount. The sustain really helps counter Kog's lack of escapes.

If a war's brewing, people are going to need horses...and food. Cube, I propose a merger-Mama Cube's Island Horse Cookies Inc.

Especially at the beginning where nearly every hit is a miss. That explains so much, actually.

So I've always heard Morrowind was hard. Never really believed it until now. Holy crap.

Nope, it's 18-http://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/20fao3/crackgate_creator_given_18_month_dci_suspension/ Kibler was pretty pro-ban, honestly. He said that the guy was being a dick and by doing this, gave MtG a really bad image and stuff. You can see his take on it here-http://bmkgaming.com/cracks-community/

If anyone wants a horse, talk to me when I'm on-I've got a little ranch going on, with a full breeding program fully underway.
