You can have bars, after a fashion.  To salvage the game's rating, they only serve "juice".

I love Maxis' sense of humor.  The amount of references and mature crap they slipped in is amazing.

My friends will be having 3 pints of juice.

[Jakkarra]

Juice, Shaken, not stirred.

Even better are the bubble-blowers.  It "resembles" a giant four man hookah pipe, which Sims sit around and blow into.  They are then ensconced in a bubble, and float off the floor, delirious from oxygen deprivation.

Do you understand what I am describing?

I am saying Sims get high by blowing bubbles.

[Jakkarra]

theres also the sex WOOHOO! system.

this involves sims Flailing about randomly clipping through things, which sometimes causes a baby to teleport to the base of said item.

 They live in an EA game. You gotta take what you can to get high.

 And goddam I'll have to play Advance Wars beyond the first game. Land battleships? Hell yes!
 Although in the first game my main strategy is take the tank-heavy guy and spam tanks everywhere. I hear in later installments heavy infantry is pretty much the best way to go, barring the few AA vehicles needed for that counter.

Oh yes, I'm aware.  I'll be seeing it soon enough; I can't pry Strife and Archangel apart with a crowbar on Day 1.

Yeah, the name of the game is balance.  It's a damn solid strategy game with plenty of viable tactics and a counter for every one.  The only unrealistic hitch (in my opinion) is movement, and for that reason, infantry have extraordinary power just for clogging up the map.  The Heavy Infantry thing might be true - in Days of Ruin, infantry are more expensive, but it also adds biker infantry who can actually get to fucking cities.

Yeah, in Dual Strike, the best strategy is pretty much just Mech Spam.  They only cost 3000. (7000 for a light tank. LIGHT. MAYBE 9000).
And they can take on the bigger tanks if you attack en masse. (oh, what mountain? You mean this mountain? I'm on top of it! Look at me! Hahahaha!)

Mechs...

I didn't know they made a new one. I'll have to go get it sometime. (it's old isn't it.)

[ToonyMan]

I spam tanks too.  They move fast, cheap, and kill god--good.

That is for the first one.

Mech is just as good as light tank.

Send along 2 Med. Tank and 2 anti air and you're golden with an army of mech. (to protect against anti-air and bombers, respectfully)

[ToonyMan]

TTTTTAAAAAAANNNNNNNKKKKKKKKK.

[Aqizzar]

I just said Strife and Archangel are about to get their grind on and you're talking about Advance Wars.

And zchris13, I know I said I'd tolerate off topic shit, but that only extends to people actually involved in the game.  Make a Sim or take it to the Other Games section.

[zchris13]

Strife and Archangel are about to get their grind on

Trenchcoat and Armygirl? Yeah, I can beleive that.

[Archangel]

I'm not surprised about it. In fact I half expected it to happen at some point.

[zchris13]

Check out the quote in Archs sig.  Right below Arch asking if he could sig it, Strife is like, "Argh, beaten".

TOTALLY HILARIOUS IN THIS CONTEXT.

[Aqizzar]

Alright dude, now you're clogging up my pointless game to talk about another thread from two months ago.

Sim or GTFO.
