What's with the bacon jokes?
« on: April 03, 2013, 11:18:14 am »
Most of the barracks units require bacon, which comes from the butcher, who needs pigs from pig farms.  My favorite is a certain swordsman type that needs "bacon and swords" as his two main resources to be produced.

"Just give me bacon and swords man, and I'll go out and get those dirty guys from the next village for you!"

(That's not a line from the game or anything, but that sentiment really cracks Keith and I up.)  ;D

Personally the line from the design doc including "Bacon and Warhammers" is what did it for me.  Though I dunno if Warhammers are still in there.

Oh, yeah -- that's a different unit, but yeah.  Most of the barracks troops need bacon and something else. :)

Maybe one of them could both eat and wield bacon.

Would probably have consistent logistical supply issues.

Nothing to do with dev.  Everything to do with bacon.

I thought it was just because bacon was delicious.

I can already tell this is going to be a roller coaster ride of disappointment.

I don't get the fascination folks have with bacon.  Sure it is good, but seriously??!!!  (insert Giorgio A. Tsoukalos meme, "Bacon")

Opened your save. My computer wept. Switched to the ST planet and ship icons filled my screen, so I zoomed out. Game told me that it _was_ totally zoomed out. You could seriously walk from one end of the inner grav well to the other without getting your feet cold.

Some people are into 16-HW games that make grown arithmetic-logic-units weep, others are into bacon.
