If scientists in the future on a remote tropical island were to combine genetic material from yourself, John Carmack, Will Wright, Shigeru Miyamoto, Richard Garriott, and Peter Molyneaux, to create a super designer, that would be awesome.
My questions are as follows:
Is John Romero the result of the diminutive twin of this super designer being sent back in time to our era, as a result of what the scientist will call 'Project Daikatana'?
Will the super designer eventually aspire to become a 'governator'?
What would his trademark game Black & SimCivUltiDoom Brothers be like?
In the Your Lastest Pirates Game, did anyone every bother to do more than repeatedly press the up key during the dancing sequence so as to get it over with as quickly as possible the first time they tried it and then never dance again during Beta? [This was my approach]
As a corrollary in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, did you also ignore your girlfriends, until they just went away?
Who decided that it would be a good idea to include Advisor Videos in Civ 2? That was all Brian Reynolds wasn't it? Is that why you fired him?
Were you as disappointed in MOO3 as me?
Have you secretly implemented code in civ that sends playing tendancies onto the Defense Department to create a super intelligent machine that will be capable of conquering the world? -- As a corollary: How exactly does the algorithm account for a guy on a chariot defeating a battleship? What secret techologies has the US Goverment incorporated into our Military to make it more whip resistant?
Why were shields used to represent production? Why not something like, or I don't know, how about swords, or candy bars, or women's pantyhose, those seem approximately as arbitrary and more fun!
Why doesn't unit movement scale to the size of the world? On a huge map it takes a battleship several year to cross the atlantic, this is non sense! Can I mod the game to make it scale appropriately?
As for battleships, (yes i am obsessed with them), the civ2 graphic was the best as was the corresponding civ 2 sounds effect, though the civ2 AEGIS crusier also looked awesome, kudos to that artist, did you tell him he is the master of 128x128 pixel art?
Was the fact that in civ 2 a pinkish color was used to represent transparency a subtle nod to the almighty Invisible Pink Unicorn, since he surrounds everything and we can't see him, but we have faith that he is pink?
On a huge map when you have 100's of units do you also enjoy spending half an hour a turn cycling through them all and moving them a few spaces, because they couldn't be group effectively and furterh if you did stack them up you make them vulnerable to nuclear attack, and bombardment by artillery?
I like the idea of units getting experience upgrades in Civ4, well they retain their upgrades, after they become obsolete and I have to upgrade them to the next level?
Will it be possible for the modding community, full of nut-jobs, such as myself, to give varying abilities to the different religions through the XML files or using the python scripts, that may fly in the face of political correctness and make Baby Jesus, Shiva, Buddha, Confucius, The Prophet, and Moses all cry simultaneously and guarantee that I go to every bad after life those religions promise me, If I believed in them and not Flying Spaghetti Monsterism, so help me Invisible Pink Unicorn?
As a corollary, and as a matter of political correctness (ties into your choice on religion), you did remember to make a branch in the tech tree so that the player can choose either the Theory of Evolution or Intelligent Design?
And since we don't want to offend anybody, could you preface every battle with the fact that the units aren't really fighting, but playing tag, and that when a unit loses said tag match it is not really killed, but sent to an invisible island un-accessible to the player where it is fed milk and honey by several dozen scantily clad virgins until the en
