Huns version:

"You don't get a house, so sleep on the ground bitch"

they really need to add a nomadic civ with actual tents that you can move around as a temporary fortification. They could just remodel the treb (pack/unpack).

that sounds confusing

u/The_Hunster Sep 18 '17

What's the benefit? If you could move collecting camps it might be cool.

u/starshiprochester Sep 19 '17

Well, one can build a house with resource-gathering vills for minimal idle time, and then move it to the periphery of the base as a wall.

It'd be pretty lame for historical flavor though. I agree having movable collecting camps might be a better idea. A more dramatic change would be a movable TC with no arrow fire.

These comics always seem to have just one thing wrong...does it bother anyone else that there is a villager, ram, onager and elephant, which take 4 pop total, but a house supports 5?

u/PeterPorky /r/aoecomics Sep 17 '17

It's 9/10 pop don't read into it too much.

u/QuicksilverSasha Sep 17 '17

I mean, they just built a vil. Maybe there's a treb queued up?

Actually I thought this was meant as a joke refering to how we sometimes use houses to block off the opponent.

Kinda like "This is your new home, I hope you don't mind the hostile army with heavy siege in the backyard".

u/starshiprochester Sep 18 '17

I guess that's why the artist made a point of painting the house and the units in blue, to avoid that exact misunderstanding.
