sorry about last saturday night .. i had router problems.. i should be around if i'm still welcome to play...

rah · February 1, 2003, 18:32

You haven't made a habit of it, so we'll give you the benifit of the doubt, so yes you'll still welcome to play.

Not sure of the starting time. It looks a little thin.
If you're bored, I'm looking for someone to help test to see if there is a surprise bonus in human vs human attacks.

I always do

Ming · February 2, 2003, 01:07

Glad to hear that... it was fun to watch... especially your city get killed... and Berz's city as well

Alexander's Horse · February 2, 2003, 07:40

yes well put a city down within the city radius of someone's capital and that's what happens

Flatlander Fox · February 2, 2003, 18:39

Were adjusted Rah rules present?

Did anyone build Marco's or the GW?

Alexander's Horse · February 2, 2003, 20:48

I lost at least 10 units, 2 settlers and a city to barbs if that's any help.

Ming · February 2, 2003, 20:52

That's why I never send out unescorted settlers after barbs start showing up

sounds like one of my games

Alexander's Horse · February 2, 2003, 20:54

Neither do I Ming, but the f8ckers were everywhere.

Always happy to guard RAH's frontier

Ming · February 2, 2003, 20:58

He must of have gotten the better part of the deal. He would watch the barbs come up and die against his well defended cities, then pick up the barb kings. I usually like having lots of barbs around. I can use the money

Alexander's Horse · February 2, 2003, 21:06

I usually like barbs too.

rah · February 3, 2003, 09:36

Yes that area was brutal for barbs. I had one city out there early (since I knew you were there and wanted to pin you in.) Just as I finished killing one batch of barbs, two more showed up right when your units did. Thought I would lose it, but a lot of money was spent rush building and I got away with it. Once I got the second city established on that hill, I knew you were going to be in trouble.

That city by my cap surprised the crap out of me.

Fortunately I had gotten Horseback from a hut early so I had plenty of horseman available to take it out before it got to size two.

That was a tough Phal. I'm glad I waited two turns so I would have an overwelming number to attack with just in case. And the extras were needed.

Gee, you left right before the vet pike and cats showed up on your doorstep.

Early warfare is entertaining.

yes it is, and cats that can't move and attack make it slightly more realistic....

i never understood why eyes didn't like x2x1 games...i mean i know hes played them, and hes a good strategist with that second computer and all

DrSpike · February 4, 2003, 08:01

2x production makes life easier for the defender though.......2x movement evens it up a bit. I know 2x1x works well for your group, but generally I think 1x1x or 2x2x though both very different games, are more balanced.

War4ever · February 4, 2003, 17:16

the distances travelled by troops in x2 move take adjusting too... all games of civ are fun, my prefs are x1x1 as it is the same as playing the ai....but whatever..i play with a group i like, regardless of their rules....

other groups i play with do no use rah rules
