American Conquest

[Park Kraken]

A great game, really fun. Based on the Cossack engine, but much much much much more realistic. You have to send Peasents into the military buildings in order to train them. But, you can garrison all the buildings, making a fortified city against siege. A word of advice, don't play against a Native American Indian AI on Normal or higher difficulty without some computer AI Allies, or you will be swamped with cheap, and easy to build archers, general combat civilans, and so on. I killed 15,000 last night in thirty minutes just by garrisoning all the buildings in my town, setting up four cannons with Grapeshot, and sending out 80 Fusiliers, and 150 Trappers to help keep the Archers from firing burning arrows into my forts. Really fun game. Anyone else play it?

[Darth Viscera]

So YOU were the one who killed off all the native americans!

*single tear rolls down cheek*

Believe it or not, I actually have Shawnee blood in my body. The only Native Americans on the game that I play against are the Iroquians, or something like that, and it's because they allied with the British in the American Revolution. I played another game last night, and I acutally won this one, we killed about 6,000 Indians all together. Oh, and the one where I killed about 13,000? The Indians actually won that battle.

[Darth Viscera]

Yeah, Charley and I are part Cherokee.

[Charley]

Cherokee and Creek, actually.

[Park Kraken]

Join me in a fire dance, followed by a hunt, would you? The Fire Dance should be done the old fashioned way, but we can do the hunt with modern firearms, so long as we decorate them with colorful feathers, and paints.

[Charley]

No.

[Darth Viscera]

lame
so no

As in from India or Native American? See, if you put down "Indian" on your census forms, you can't get college funding or your own casino. Sorry, pal.

[Park Kraken]

Native American, of course. I played anothe game earlier today. USA VS France. I had 48 Fusiliers, 34 Pikemen, and 230 Trappers, and Musketeers lined up ready to battle a HUGE French army apporaching. They had 700 men, consisting of 500 Pikemen, and 200 Musketeers. I killed the Musketeers with a few gun volleys from the superior Fusiliers. I killed 135 Musketeers, and lost only 20 Fusiliers. Then he charges me with all 500 of the Pikemen. I run in the trappers, fire a mass volley, then retreat, let the Fusiliers fire, then let the Fusiliers, and my Pikeman engage their last 150 standing Pikemen. I lost the battle, but that army got nowhere near my settlement, and I eventually conquered them from the sea via my Frigates bombarding the Large Targets, and killing the civilans, and other units with my Carracks.

I was talking to Ryan.
