C# ofc

I bet a friend 30 head of cattle .NET will be the only runtime used by civilization in 2050.

Fusion today: looks unlikely until at least 2030.

[David Coats @IRLCoats]

Advance: Fusion

* The Fusion Plant city improvement increases production by +50%, and reduces pollution by -100%.

* The Fusion Tank unit is a future improvement on the Tank, with increased attack and defense, but with an added ability to hover over water in addition to its increased speed.

* The Leviathan unit is the ultimate land-air-space defense with the ability to bombard on both the terrestrial and space layers of the map.

Seriously, which is the best Civilization game, and why is it Civilization: Call to Power (1999)?

Start with a stone-age warrior, and build into sci-fi future with cities under the sea and in space!

Diplomat
https://t.co/5XD0FExG2H

[David Coats @IRLCoats]

Unit: Diplomat

The diplomat is the second unconventional warfare unit you'll encounter (after the slaver). Diplomats can:

* Establish embassies: by traveling to another player's city - and getting close enough before getting kicked out, you can gain intelligence on another civilization's progress and trade advances. This action always succeeds.

* Spy on foreign cities: see what is being built (and how many troops are garrisoned). This succeeds about 75% of the time. It's useful to have a diplomat with each army in order to take a peek at a city before attacking.

* See other unconventional warfare units that are normally concealed, like slavers and clerics. Diplomats have a +2 visibility range and make great explorers as well.

Let's do a super-thread of all the units in Civilization: Call to Power!

From Warriors to Wormhole Probes, from Knights to Jet Fighters, and everything in between...

Every playthrough of CivCTP is an epic battle 🧵

Prerequisite:

[David Coats @IRLCoats]

Advance: Bureaucracy

Bureaucracy allows building the exceptionally useful Diplomat unit: it sees unconventional warfare units, like slavers, and can be used to spy on enemy cities (seeing defender counts and current production). In addition to direct spying, the Diplomat can setup embassies that provide more overall information on other civilizations and that allow more advanced diplomacy interactions.

The Bureaucracy advance also allows building the Confucius Academy wonder, which both shuts all embassies and prevents other civilizations from declaring war on you; in effect, the *anti-diplomacy* wonder.

The interstate highway system had specific Military purpose! Logistics (+ backup airports) is CRITICAL to national defense.

Today, in an era of cheap unmanned systems and ubiquitous overhead imagery we should consider a new UNDERGROUND national highway system.

Advance: Bronze Working

Allows building the Phalanx unit, the first defender of your civilization. Garrisons of Phalanxes keep barbarians, and other invaders, at bay.

Civilization: Call to Power

[David Coats @IRLCoats]

Unit: Phalanx

Enabled by the Bronze Working advance, the Phalanx is the first defensive unit.

Stock your cities well with them! They are essential for fighting back roving barbarians, so much so that you will want to have phalanxes out guarding your tile improvments (farms and mines). Phalanxes are even effective at the much cheaper 50% readiness level.

The only saving grace of needing many, many phalanxes is that each unit garrisoned inside a city provides +1 happiness from martial law (at least for the early government types).
