Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
I think it's still possible, when you click on the citizen management tab on the right it should bring up a bunch of circles for each tile, whereupon you can "lock" citizens into working specific tiles (leaving the rest up to whatever focus you have that city set on)

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
There are several options. You can assign each one manually in the city management page by clicking the corresponding circle, or you can have the game take a shot at optimizing based on any single resource or a balanced approach. It's actually pretty useful to muck around with it, as optimizing for food early can grow a city much faster, then you can queue everything for production and get top tier units in 1-3 turns.

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
I always thought "The Stars Will Aid Her Escape" was a clever prophecy twist rather than foreshadowing. It's got a pretty obvious double meaning. The four stars move into the moon right as NMM breaks out, which they never really explained. BUT if Luna was trapped by the Nightmare's influence, then the stars aiding in her escape is referring to Twilight. You know, the one with a star shaped cutie mark who discovers the only way to free her with the Elements.
Not sure if it was intended that way originally but I always figured that particular dangling plot thread was resolvedLast edited by Eakin; 2012-11-19 at 12:52 AM.

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
But we still can't discount the possibility astrological threats, considering the wide array of myths drawn from. Entering into an age of strife Mayan style? Some sort of Primal plane moving close to the ethereal causing mixing with something that sounds like northern-European elf lore?
The hellish nightmare that marks astrological cycles seen in Ebberon would be interesting.

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
Indeed? Would you say, even...
... That there are too many Pinkies?
I could see it as an Alzheimer's allegory, but that's it.
Hmm. Okay, thanks.
Two points a) you can't find information that doesn't exist
Ohhh, I think I just figured out astral travel in Mage.
Wouldn't preclude the Mayor begging, either. I think that's what a lot of us assumed.*
I don't think her business was doomed at the start. There's always a demand for Apple Family Cider and until the episode there was apparently no mass production of cider known in the area. So the business was pretty safe with no competition. Even though not all ponies could get their hands on the cider, there wasn't an alternative yet.
However, now that we know mass production is possible with this episode, AJ's business is in trouble unless she updates her business model. The episode shows she can get a huge volume of cider done with an hour's time and five friends. *So from then on, yes she has to keep the production up or lose business, but it seems that cutting a deal with the brothers isn't necessary as long as she increases her work force.
Which is unfortunate. I feel that dumb decisions should have a price. Applejack lost. She lost because she and her family were dishonest, shady, an downright backwards. They needed to be taught a lesson, and their damned plot armor protected them instead.
I really would have preferred everyone enjoying their awesome cider though, really. The bet ending would have been friendship winning the race, work ethic an integrity triumphing over teh evul biznass core-pourit monstwr, and the brothers making a killing recouping their losses by selling the cider they made in the competition at competitive prices, showing AJ a thing or two about actual business an teaching is all a valuable lesson about how no matter how noble your intentions, a monopoly can have negative repercussions.
[Episode 3.3]Spoilerthe information actually wasn't accurate; Pinkie had no idea there was a cave until she fell into a hole in the ground. We also don't know that the incantation was necessary or just an embellishment. Pinkie searched a forest and stumbled onto her goal by chance because she was looking for generic landmarks, that fits perfectly with such tales as Gravity Hill and such. Common urban legends, which are a modern version of fireside stories like Pinkie learned, follow the same pattern.
I can even see Nana Pinkie getting yelled at by her brother. "You forgot the part about the rocky tube full of bats! That's the best part!"
"There is no tube full of bats, now hush! I'm telling it this time."
As for AJ and the Rodeo; I like to think AJ just happened to be going to the rodeo and the Mayor kinda just ambushed her with the added responsibility.
Deserve it too.
I don't think that level of logic can be taken to a loose bet with obviously missing factors amongst the actors of a child's show. If the problem was "the deal was sloppy", "the details were hashed out in the background" doesn't actually address that.
Yes! I second this! Even the face punching!
I like stockings covering a thigh tattoo waaaaaaay more than is healthy. Yowza!
Pfff. Noooo.
It's girl-porn.
So lasting -2 to Death magic?
*sigh*
That could be centuries down the road though, so you'll only have to deal with crime statistics being worse, and every mugger and murderer looking like a loved one right before they pull the trigger.
I think this should be balanced against the fact that the whole episode is one giant reference to The Music Man
I can forgive a great deal for good references.
LaughingEvilTessen.gif
I agree with you that the episode is in blatant disregard of the teachings of economics. However, I think the episode is a rather accurate reflection of how most of the world also seems to act in blatant disregard of economics. The Apple family acts almost entirely out of pride in Super Speed Cider Squeezy. First, they're too proud to admit that the machine could work better. Then, when Granny Smith tastes the cider and realizes that it's perfectly good, she's too proud to admit it and they don't buy the machine. Then they rush into a bet and they're too proud to point out the obvious problem that they own the apples.*
They also stand by their reputation with the rest of Ponyville, and I think they would be more hurt if the other ponies viewed them as cheats or tricksters for making a bet and then refusing to give up their apples than they would by losing their own farm. That's just how much they care about their reputation.
It's a prime example of non-economic factors playing a leading role over economic factors. And it's not stupid or wrong, although it might be irrational.

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
I like "Something Something Crystals" Works two different ways, shows the lack of dialogue for the villain, and makes a great Family Guy joke
I still think LVII could work well with something involving "level 2", but I need someone with brain for smart making to come up with something.

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
As others have pointed out above, you can micromanage the citizens, but have to enable it first in the top right of the city screen. As for the crunchy data stuff, I do believe there are at least a few mods out there that do exactly that, though I never looked into them.
I would think Great People have been rendered a little less effective since you can eventually buy them with faith (in the expansion at least), and if you aren't focusing on religion much, you have a lot of that stuff lying around.Devoted artificer of the church of Scorching Ray.

My headcannon was always that the Flim Flam brothers planned to ramp up the costs of the magic to run the Sqeezy after the free first year to exorbitant prices, a la printers and the ink that goes in them, but comically moreso.

Well, at least you gave it a go. I heard a lot of Civ4 fans ignoring Civ5 for being too dumbed down or something.
I think, once I'm done with Pokemon W2, that I'll give Civ4 a go. Perhaps I'll do like you, play a pony mod version and then compare the two, just coming from the other direction, as it were.
Also, I reccommend Persia. The move bonuses during golden ages are godly.

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
*sigh*
Y'know, it would be helpful if they had actually documented those features, if they weren't going to make them as straightfoward as the earlier ones (in this case, where you just clicked on the main city map screen). If they're not gonna give you a proper manual anymore, they need to do a far better job with their in-game documentation. I looked at that tab (right out of the gate), but there only appeared to be settings for how the AI distributed the citizens, and the only "manual" button appeared to be for the specialists. Again, I'll give that a stab next time.
I could only buy Great Merchants and Great Prophets (at least how I was playing, I think there were other options with social policies or religions). Not being able to use any but Great Scientists to research tech was a bit annoying, but there you go. The old Great Generals were the biggest loss (especially now they made individual units more valuable by negating the Stack'o'Doom...)
I haven't looked at other mods yet, granted.
It kinda is. (And why I didn't buy it at release.) Vanilla Beyond the Sword (2nd expansion) Civ IV had 92 techs, expansions Civ V as 80. IV is sort of like the 3.x to V's 4E (but not quite that drastic).

Hey, now, that's not Chapel's uniform; that's McCoy's. Which says some interesting things about the Fluttershy-Dash-Twilight dynamic...
And AJ looks much more like Sulu than like Chekov to me; I don't know what Chekhov looks like, nor how a nineteenth-century playwright would get on a twenty-third-century starship.Level 4 Bibliophile/Level 3 Bard, working toward the Bibliomancer Prestige Class

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
While the gif is indeed awesome, I took a gander at the Tumblr link. Did... did they just off big Mac? O_o
Not sure which one AJ is, but I think Fluttershy is supposed to be Doc McCoy given she's at the fore-front with the Kirk and Spock. And Pinkie makes perfect sense for Scotty. Who else would be a master at the... "Warp" drive?
I certainly won't hold it against you.
Maybe you should locate a good Anime-style artist and commision them to do it? Personally anything doing with the CMC already makes me think "hilariously over-the-top" now.
I think this should be balanced against the fact that the whole episode is one giant reference to The Music Man
I can forgive a great deal for good references.
Plus the subverted letter to Celestia will always be funny to me.
I don't see why not. Her lack of being a Unicorn might actually be a strength in that she won't be relying on magic for any shortcuts.
Lastly, I'm voting Construct Additional Pinkies for new thread title because it sounds better than ponylords or whatever the other one was.

Re: My Little Pony LVI:S Has Left the Playground!
While browsing youtube for something to listen to while do a bit of painting, and starting from the CMC orchestral theme used in that Civ V mod, I happened across this amazing version of the main theme. Unlike a lot of orchestral versions, this guy's stuff is fast as well as sweeping, and feels like it really could be the intro music to The Movie (this on in particular feels just like it sound be playing over the establishing credit montage, as the Mane cast (and supporting characters) go about their daily business (there's bits that sound they are for Pinkie, Fluttershy etc.)
This guy is incredible. He's done loads of these including Doctor Who, Ghostbusters, Final Fantasy... Pokemon (oh Lichemaster, Pokemon) Power Rangers... I'm still looking actually. It's just... unbelievable stuff.
Captain Planet does not deserve to be this awesome!
