I see you nerds constantly inviting me to matches, but i've been so busy with summer "stuff" that i just haven't had the chance to get a game in. I came here to post that, yes, i am still alive, and that i miss all of you and your terrible micro-management skills that let me know i'm in good company. Summer won't last forever, and neither will my productive behavior.

It's the HD version from Steam, you can play online without the expansions.

Not only that, but you can actually join games that are using the expansions. You're just limited to a small number of (rotating) civs. Which might be the least nickel-and-dime thing I've seen a game company do ever.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

i was babbling about something months ago on the map type where you get 2 of everything and doing it shimo style (regicide, teams unlocked, no team victories, no team together, etc) and you're almost always under attack from the opening second if you undersize the map.

I've been playing around with a simple mod called x256 and it's fun. Basically every technology can be researched 64 or 256 times (don't remember). The result of this is that you can end up with longbowmen that shoot halfway cross the map, Ethiopian onagers that level everything like nukes and immortal berkerkers that regenerate faster than you can hurt them. The AI isn't too good at this mod though so it's better to play against each other.

They do, and Mongolian onagers eventually pretty much teleport. Spiritofthelaw put out a video about it recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0k4ei2y6qqA
