Yup, that was a bit of a damper on my expansion plan for some high trade/prod resources. I had hoped to get Monarchy on my tech list but instead got literacy...oh well.

War4ever · January 25, 2003, 18:51

wow, 11 ciites and no monarchy, that hurts....how was the happiness

floyd · January 25, 2003, 18:55

I had strategic position. My archer was fortificated next to the Cap city, than my diplomats are always protected.

Cap: If you had destroyed this archer, I wouldn't have stolen you any tech.

Otherwise, your cities were located very close each other. Than I was able to steal you three techs.

Even my capital suffered from unhappiness, ouch!

I did have a nice size 5 city going however with specialists.

War4ever · January 25, 2003, 18:57

been there, nothing worse than great expansion, evened out by crap huts.......monarchy by 1450 or so and your opponent has had a whole millenium to run wild

CapTVK · January 25, 2003, 19:03

It was the huts that did me in. After I recovered from the barb attack and had about 8 cities. I started exploring further and got a free city, and another..and another...and uh oh...Why are my cities in revolt?

floyd · January 25, 2003, 19:13

Where may I find "rah rules"?

War4ever · January 25, 2003, 19:30

Shut up rookie, you haven't played for real until you played me. Cap apparently is an even bigger rookie though. You should try playing King 2x2x on a small map, real men play that, not these *****y apolytoners. Don't be fooled, practice makes perfect doesn't apply to everyone; take war4 for example. These apolyton uber geeks spend their lives talking about strategy when not 1 of them knows **** about the game. Do yourself a favor and go play on the zone with some real settings. Don't forget to thank me for actually talking to you, I usually don't give newbies the time of day. Consider yourself honored.

Ming · January 26, 2003, 06:13

I'm sure he feels "honored" after that tirade.

I'm really proud, you spent your precious time for write to poor dust.

But it would be better to spent this time playing Civ2MP against me. Than I'll consider myself REALLY honored!

Consider this as a challenge. But I play ONLY deity. It's single play habit.

Flatlander Fox · January 26, 2003, 13:04

@Eyes

HAHAHAHA...

You claim to be the best at a computer game you dork.

And you call other people GEEKS!

I guess you aren't learning anything in college...

HappySunShine · January 26, 2003, 14:54

I haven't played a game of civ2 in like a year so don't even talk to me flatchested fox.

CapTVK · January 26, 2003, 15:44

Yes, it's difficult for a such a great player to stay modest in the great crowd of mediocrity . He even " honours" newcomers by giving advice without stepping into the limelight boasting about his own tales of glorious victory and stratagems [sic]. Oh, how the mighty have to suffer in silent indignation. To only allow the rookies to have their brief moment of joy! While his own stories languish in the great annals of civ history.

Oh the humanity!!!...

In short, Happysunshine is correct...

However, keep in mind that in lieu of the giving honours to us " mere rookies" , mr. Shine (EyesofNight) is very modest and doesn't want to appear so much more intelligent than everyone else that others feel intimidated. In lieu of mr. Shine's world renowed [sic] modesty and thoughtfulness he must have decided to forgo too many in lieu of's.
You may note that in contrast, in lieu of the premise, I must desperately try to impress by stuffing as many in lieu of's into my posts as possible. Go figure.

(Not to mention the superfluous "premise", oops, I just did mention it. In lieu of that, Go figure again.)

floyd · January 26, 2003, 19:24

I have played freeciv and was really disappointed. Somebody had bribed all my cities

. The game was like arcade, not strategy.

Who'll be first? His spy or my defense?

Now I know how important is "no bribe" restriction in "Rah rules". Bribing kills game's fun.

Where may I find players, which respect this restriction? Who wants play CIV2MP or freeciv WITHOUT bribing?

greets,

I doubt Cap will speak to you again now.

Ming · January 26, 2003, 23:41

Yeah... bad move. Especially considering that he is a fellow European player... there aren't that many of them here

CapTVK · January 27, 2003, 13:16

Floyd,

You managed to get the hang of Freeciv in a day and played a straight Freeciv MP game with some of the pro's? Wow, fast work!

Do any of the names listed in the top ranking ring a bell?

http://pubserver.freeciv.org/

In that case, welcome to the jungle.

On the few occasions I venture from Freeciv SP to MP i lost, big time. Those guys play to win and increase their rankings. City bribing is just another way to win a quick game. The only solution is to agree on a "no-bribe"rule with the players beforehand.
This used to be the same for Civ2MP as well but on Apolyton things are a bit more settled and "civilized". No-bribe is a standard MP game rule at Apolyton these days.

Would you happen to recall the game you played in? In that case we could review the game with the history logs.

Here's an example:
http://pubserver.freeciv.org/viewgame.phtml?game=84890

DrSpike · January 27, 2003, 14:25

I didn't realise there was a substantial freeciv MP community.......just how big is it?

HappySunShine · January 27, 2003, 14:30

There's only 21 players on that list and half of them aren't even active.

That's only the top 20 official top ranking. A top 20 that's ranked on score, not by date. If you took the time to look a little bit further you would have found more...a lot more...

War4ever · January 27, 2003, 17:13

Sean i am surprised you havn't figured out all the loopholes to be a top champion....

HappySunShine · January 30, 2003, 18:36

Again, most the dates on there are from 2002.

Alexander's Horse · January 30, 2003, 18:40

You know Sean you could be a highly valued Member of this community.
