Civ Health Warning: Selecting The Yellow Civ Before Makeo Does Is A Health Hazard.

If you had started on the pole in that game it would have taken longer for makeo to find you.

Actually, it's probably a good way to play Makeo. Someone - a willing sacrifice - selects the Yellow civ. Makeo gets so angry that his only priority is to find and attack the culprit. Meanwhile, everyone else targets him.

Makeo is easy to deal with if you hit him early. Playing people who are out to get you is very fustrating after cannons & explosives are discovered.
Post a map of the terrain you use to play... I refuse to believe anyone plays on the maps AH makes.

Yep. We don't customise maps. I'd be very surprised if Horse did for any of his games.

Horse is very lazy , I don't think we would use the time needed to customise, 3 seconds is 3 seconds

You would think Horse would pass on his great formula to success.

Presumably he creates lots of one- and two-square islands with mountains on them for him to build cities on.

i play purple ......in large small map games...there is a chance that purple will start on the poles....especially if all civs are being used.....
it has happened with orange when no one takes purple....
its a restart of course....either that or a game of heavy whining!!!

Funny you should say that, my son. Hydey declined a re-start and never stopped grizzling.

Yes, it's usually a restart. (I get annoyed by the whining also)
