The art of leaving cities undefended - Page 2

Thanks for the recap of your game SK... it sounds like fun.

Usually in our games, cannons mean the kiss of death for somebody in our games.

StrategicKingMi · February 22, 2003, 10:35

Turns at that point of the game took between 15 and 25 mins depending on who the host was. But so what? You got so much accomplished in each turn, it was like an event. And you looked forward to it with great anticipation. Alot of players are so concerned with the time of each turn, I just dont get that. I want to do as much as I can every turn and want the person i am playing to do as much as they can do per turn. Time is not relevant.

SlowwHand · February 23, 2003, 02:40

25 minutes. That was what drove me nuts in past games.
You may think he's stretching it, but I have no doubt it's the truth.

DrSpike · February 23, 2003, 07:24

15 - 25 minutes isn't that long for a duel when you have loads of cities and bags of units.

SlowwHand · February 23, 2003, 10:36

It is if it isn't a duel.

DrSpike · February 23, 2003, 11:17

Agreed.....for a 4 player it is not good.

War4ever · February 23, 2003, 23:26

its a long time regardless of what your playing

deity · February 24, 2003, 07:11

I must agree it's what you do in a turn that is most relevant. It's a bit boring if everyone just plays quick turds.

DrSpike · February 24, 2003, 07:21

Was that a Freudian slip? Or are you just calling War a turd?

Ming · February 24, 2003, 08:37

Longer turns are to be expected as the game moves along. There isn't much you can do about it.

That's why I'm not a big fan of allowing ship chaining. It's a great trick, but takes forever to move units instantly around the board. It's one of the things that obviously adds time to the game. While most consider it legal and an excellent way to move units... it does just slow up the game.

ottok · February 24, 2003, 08:51

USA´s why they TALK also there a war?

listen they presindent need some fact!

Ming · February 24, 2003, 09:54

See you in a week ottok... You've been posting off topic in way too many on topic threads across most forums

War4ever · February 24, 2003, 17:14

POOR OTTOCK HAHA....

Someone ban Spike for continuously insulting me off topic

back on topic, i don't mind game turns which get longer ....duh as the game progresses that is inevitable.....but when someone takes 20 min real early in the game and does it each turn, that is just too slow for my liking.

an invasion is one thing, maximizing your beakers/workers/trade etc during your turn will cause me great dismay and probably lead to a mental note of "do not play him again"

i don't have the time to wait forever , especially if my turns go by quickly.... as a rule, i allow other players twice my time as a max on what is reasonable.

but if your going to break out the protractor, rulers, an abacus (spelling?) and stare at the screen for 10 mins pondering your next turn that isn't for me :q

I for one can attest firsthand that War does not take long on his turns, even when he has 5 vet catapults piled on 3 archers, on a hill no less, directly next to a main city, oh and don't forget he has a couple tiremes full of vet units for backup and is relesntless.

Ok, for the last and final time I will make the challenge: NO ONE CAN BEAT ME ON DEITY WHEN I HAVE HG. Amazing how all the rooks who couldn't break top 10 on the real ladders on 2x2x went over to some stupid kraut site for 1x1x deity and now think they're bad ass. Woke did the same thing, he also was foolish and thought he could beat me without happy wonders.

I´m one of this stupid krauts, a noname rookie in your eyes, but i´d like to show you how to win without HG on 1x1xdeity.

DrSpike · February 25, 2003, 08:34

Well he did throw down the gauntlet Cobra, but I think he has now gingerly picked it up and taken it to be mended.

Hydey · February 25, 2003, 17:50

why did deity call war4 a turd ?

MalevolentLight · February 25, 2003, 18:03

Other stupid krauts better than you have gotten owned by me on 1x1x deity without HG, what makes you think you can beat that which can not be beaten?

Ming · February 25, 2003, 18:15

Does that mean you accept his offer to play?

DrSpike · February 25, 2003, 18:20

Ooh, a new handle..........as optimistic as ever I see.

I don't know either (probably a Freudian slip typo though)....but now you have asked War will think you called him a turd.

Never

like this.
Your self-assurance is boundless. I think, your psychiatrist did a good job. It ´s time that someone brings you on the soil to the reality.
How do you wanna know, if there´s any stupid kraut better than me?
I guess you should proof first, if you can beat my daughter.

jes · February 26, 2003, 16:48

there are many things why i love cobra

, one of them is, he can speak english, mine is very bad.

but first its my challenge. maybe we can make a more-way, in sim its all the same with the time.

(obwohl es dir natürlich vegönnt sei :R)

One day when his voice deepens and his testicles drop then all challenges will be met.

Any one can beat anyone at any time, with or without happy wonders on 1 x 1 deity.
I would say way more then 80% of thoose games are decided by luck.
Beat me on a large island board, 2 x 2 king and that will be done via skill over 70% of the time.
However I am wrong about 25% of the time.
I also make up numbers over 40% of the time.
I am drunk about 5% of the time like now.
So 50 % of the time when drunk I make no sense at all.
You do the math..Nappy time now...

Hehe funny post.

But you 2x-ers need to get your arguments a little straighter. When Eyes says that 1x1x deity is luck he means whoever gets the best land will get HG and thus win (many disagree, but it's a consistent position)........but you say with or without happy wonders 1x deity is luck, and I don't see why.

Hopefully you can respond sober.
