Epic City Thread - My Schwartz is Bigger than Yours

April 12, 2011 12:26:09 AM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

Since the tile limit is now gone I decided to stop taking over other factions, sign some nonagression pacts, and just cycle turns to end game - to see how uber I can make a capital. Who's schwartz is bigger than mine? I'm not done yet (until the next patch that is). Post 'em if you got 'em! RAWR! Let's see those epic cities! 

Seriously though I'd like to see how epic you other fellas or gals are making your cities. 

Save from Season 280 of 1.19l Ridiculous game on large map - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/119l/119l_280.EleSav

Note the feng shui aesthetics. How handsome!

Oh my, 3.2K gildar per season of which 2.1K from the capital! Not only am I handsome I'm loaded.

Who's your daddy, all 4.3K population of me? Not the constructin ratio of 0.1, build any improvement in one round!

I'm the Federal Reserve, baby!

I'm a hungry dude - 80 damn food production!

I don't have a large city to show, but I'd just like to comment that the layout of your city is pretty nice!  It looks and feels like a city (from what I can see)

Thanks! My ultimate goal is to play a game long enough where I strip all housing from the entire world and put all citizens into the capital. I think I might do that come 1.2.

Very nice.

It would be even nicer, however, if we could get some building that were taller.  You know, like two-storey mansions, central castle that dwarfs the other buildings, with a tall keep.  Wizards tower that really stands out.  That kind of thing.

Then our cities would truly look awesome!

Yeah, for sure. More elevation would be cool. Check this one out, I like how the forested hills add elevation.

Stardock should have you producing promotional materials for the game! Nice work.

Lord Xia! Brad may not give you much respect around here  but in my alternate Elemental world of Stardock you are a trusted advisor of Frogboy. See here you are sporting full gear including a Sword of Wrath and a black pony. Not a white pony, a black pony. He won't let you hang out with him in the capital (Michigan?) but he lets you kick it on the ZOC forum periphery and watch for marauding trolls of the faction Monsters & Ruffians.

Your backstory kicks ass. I quote "Lord Xia is a loose cannon... and vents his frustration through outbursts of hate-filled violence."

I haven't tracked it but once it fully loads it seems ok - until a DX error or OOM.

Turn 361 right before I win the game by quest. Rather proud of this Fanboy stack of doom that has a 2244 combat rating.

Killing the hermit leveled my elite dragons 6 levels each. What's amazing is that their max hp went from 228 to 627. To heal 400 hp will take 80 turns or 20 years, however. lol
