MWBMC - New acronym

Full PM-box? Change here!

MWBMC - My Wife's Beating Me at Civ!!! Here, after a year, or so, of begging her to try Civ, she finally gives in and plays a Hot Seat game. I graciously show her the ropes and what to I get for my troubles? ELEPHANTS IN MY CITES! Hmmph. Next time I'll tell her that you can only attack cities with little walls around them!

Explain to her that using Elephants as ground units is a "cheat" because they are actually air units (Dumbo's) and she needs to build an Airport first.

That's what you get for using a Mac

Seriously though, just tell her that only certain civilizations should build elephants to keep historical accuracy. And no, it doesn't matter what civ she's playing, it's the wrong one

All's fair in love and war as they say...

So you could go to the rules.txt(?) file and change the attack strength of the elephant to egual that of a warrior, but I guess that would be a bit too cruel, or...?

It's actually a new acronym for an old civ strategy:

MWBMC = Make Wonders By Making Caravans.

Or for the Civ connoisseur:

MWBMC = Mature Wine But Mine Coal

And for your week's prospects, tonic's inane horoscope:

MWBMC: Make Waves, Be Mindlessly Cool.

See, I knew that there was more creative energy to tap with this topic!

BTW, she is now learning that even elephants have a hard time against city walls/barracks. Yes, I have explained Dips to her (but only after watching a few Dumbos crash and burn! ).

You made a bad tactical error, MacUser. You let her play the real game. I introduced my wife to the Tutorial session, in which nothing ever goes wrong. After a couple of hours she decided it was dead boring and left me to it.
