In a typical game, you might play against six, maybe seven other civilizations. In TPangolin's game, the rules are customized so that the only way to win is to dominate all other civilizations.

Here's a primer in case you've never played the game before: Essentially, the goal is to rule the world, either by successfully launching a spaceship, engineering a utopian society or winning enough votes in the United Nations.

That’s just some of the news about the war raging between 61 different civilizations - in Civilization Battle Royale, Mark 2.Įarlier this year, Reddit user TPangolin - a fan of the game Civilization - decided to create a massive game that pitted 42 virtual (and completely computer-controlled) empires against each other. And a little while ago, Steve Jobs conquered the city of Chichen Itza - which was a huge blow to the Mayans. Oh and no I haven't played the Boogie you're talking about, so this post might not be or much use to you.Texas is at war with Canada and Mexico. I realize I'm not talking about an SLO or even a HR100+, but the build quality on the +s is at least as good as Boogie, I've heard from more that a few techs that Soldano circuit board layouts are impeccable, especially compared to Boogies, that = less noise and better tone. The couple of draw backs to me are a slight lack of touch sensitivity compared to so classic simpler amp designs and the it would be nice if the lead channel could clean up a bit more with a volume knob like non master Marshall, but I guess that's what the clean channel is for. V30 sound pretty good, but can be a little harsh and I didn't like it through 25s or Fanes. Playing the amp through the right speakers is pretty crucial, the stock Emi v12 are great as well as some of the other Eminences. I tended to lake very specific guitars through my Hiwatts and Marshalls, but the Soldano made everything sound good. The clean channel doesn't sound like an after thought and the shared eq has never really been a problem for me.Īnother plus with the Soldano is that it likes so many different guitars. Mike has a Hiwatt at his shop and he's told me he's a fan. The clean channel on the Soldano has a little bit of what I like about the Hiwatts.

I didn't normally like playing with that much distortion before the Soldano because most amps I played up until then would loose clarity and articulation.īefore the Soldano I used Hiwatts for years and still think they are the coolest amps ever. The overdrive Channel sounds like a perfectly recorded plexi. If you have a Soldano you no longer need a bedroom amp. The thing that is so great about Soldanos is that you can do anything with them at any volume. I also have a bunch of other vintage amps ('69 Super Lead, 2 early 70's Hiwatts) and amp bulds (50 watt Plexi TW Express.
