Woo! Final prep for Phenex display this weekend is complete!

Granite base has little felt feet, to make sure I don't scratch whatever surface I put it on.

Q: What's the maximum number of Quarries/Farm/Woodcutters can you build?

I'm currently Level 9 and i have 6 of each but i can build 10 farms total. my experience in Clash of Clans is that i may be able to build more when i unlock more buildings (Shadow Kings your Level controls what you can build) So i am wondering, what is the maximum number of Quarries/Farm/Woodcut...

Q: Is the Level 9 Gem funded Land Expansion separate?

When i've unlocked the Land Expansion i've always noticed a Gem costing land expansion which greys out when i get all the normal costing Land Expansions. Now i've had a Lan Expansion unlocked at each level up when after Level 8 i noticed something, the Gem costing Land Expansion would be availab...

Q: What does the Shield over a city mean?

When i go into the world map i notice other player's cities have a shield (kinda like a force field) around them and some don't. what exactly is this shield?

Anyone can tell me about Civilization V ? I'm thinking in buying it on the 2k Special promotion from Steam

Fluttershy

@Michel What would you like to know?

Michel

@Fluttershy in reality, I saw some videos, but didn't grasp the reality of the gameplay

The coop part, for instance... It's one helping another or versus? (or both options)

FAE

@Michel both

Fluttershy

@Michel Bo... that.

Michel

11:31 PM

@Fluttershy hahhhaha

@FAE thanks ^.^

FAE

@Michel Have you played any other 4X games?

Michel

4x?

FAE

4X is a genre of strategy-based video and board games in which players control an empire and "eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate". The term was first coined by Alan Emrich in his September 1993 preview of Master of Orion for Computer Gaming World. Since then, others have adopted the term to describe games of similar scope and design. 4X games are noted for their deep, complex gameplay. Emphasis is placed upon economic and technological development, as well as a range of non-military routes to supremacy. Games can take a long time to complete since the amount of micromanagement needed to...

Michel

Yeap, Age of empire, Warcraft

Frank

@Michel Those are RTS games.

Michel

11:33 PM

but I didn't like it, because was too "fast" I enjoy building and farm

@Frank Ouch >.<

FAE

@Michel Civ is turn-based.

Michel

Yeap

Frank

4X are usually much longer, more involved than RTSs.

Michel

I love turn based

this is the part that couch my attention and interest

FAE

@Michel You start out with one settler with which to found a city, then you build that city up and improve it over time and choose what kind of improvements you want to make and how you want to expand.

Michel

11:36 PM

@FAE I read that it's possible to win by diplomacy (for example), not only by annihilating all enemies

FAE

@Michel Read the wiki article on Civ V and see if that helps, it has a full section on gameplay. If you have any questions on what it says, I'm sure we can help you.

@Michel Correct. There are multiple victory conditions, so you can win in the playstyle you like best.

Michel

@FAE * - *

@FAE Thanks =)

FAE

I'm a cultural victory kinda gal, myself. :)

Michel

Taking advantage of you guys ... Can I play the coop with online users (not some friend of mine that is online, but a random person)

@FAE I love the killing, but for the most part, the strategy, grow and structure I love the most. How is a cultural victory?

FAE

@Michel Yes

11:40 PM

@Michel its addictive... very addictive... you have been warned

Michel

@MattGiltaji hehehe good to know =)

Just Civilization is R$ 11,24. the complete edition is R$ 32,99 Just wondering if I should go for the complete or not now =D

FAE

@Michel In base Civ V and its first expansion, it involved building buildings and projects that would give you cultural points, but in the second expansion, it added a mechanic called Tourism, where you have to acquire Tourism points.

Michel

@FAE got it :3

FAE

@Michel Brazil is in the second expansion (Brave New World) :D

Michel

@FAE Yeap

I was between Civ V and X-com Enemy Within. but I guess, I'm going for the Civ V (I promised to myself that I wouldn't spend too much on games, so I "can't" buy both =X)

For instance. In Skyrim, the part that I like the most is Stealing/pickpoketing/leveling skills ... Not the quest part (I like to kill dragons and do some quests that I can kill hidden)

I'm more a Final Fantasy person than a Zelda person
