I would be more interested in some sharing of civ strats and insights than a game.

I've often wondered about how other communities play the game.

War4ever · May 20, 2003, 20:35

They play better than the aussies do

Alexander's Horse · May 20, 2003, 20:54

How would you know.

War4ever · May 20, 2003, 21:19

i have played you

makeo, finnie, raz, and a few others...before...

oh played deity too...gotta mention him or he will send his parrots after me

Alexander's Horse · May 20, 2003, 21:48

no you haven't.

War4ever · May 20, 2003, 21:54

yes i have.. i played some of those guys before you started civing..or at least, you were civing in your diapers

Alexander's Horse · May 21, 2003, 01:25

You've played like one session. Big deal.

Hydey · May 21, 2003, 04:57

I thought about playing one or another game in the next time. but only fun-games to find back in. maybe we can arrange something in near future, no matter what settings. I only need to find the time. how about that?

Sure,I'll be glad to play. I've played maybe 2 games in last six months,so I probably rusted a bit but I'll be in shape quickly.
I am free on Wed,Thu,Fri and most likely on monday (not 100% sure) from 22.oo CET til o3.oo CET.
Drop me a note if this suits you.
Regards.

OK, it looks like 3 duels in the first round:

Makeo, War4ever and SmartFart
Makeo und War4ever wanna play at weekend, SmartFart from Wednesday to Friday CET in the evening.

Now I ask our players, who can make it.
I know, Woke has time at weekend. If I play then it´s easier for me to play against Smartfart, cause I´m short in time at weekend.
Give me a few hours.

Makeo · May 21, 2003, 08:55

I waiting for my computer to arrive. Should arrive in the next week or so, so I don't want to commit to anything until that happens.

Cobra · May 21, 2003, 09:13

You don´t need a second PC to increase your skill

War4ever · May 21, 2003, 09:21

Horse, p!ss off...i played more than one session before you even started playing civ......

but in the last couple of years, i would agree that time constraints have left my aussie competition virtually dry...aside from games with you in them...

Makeo · May 21, 2003, 09:59

surely you don't expect me to play with just one computer???

perhaps two computers needs to be put into the rules

Good idea. I don't want to get half way through a game only to find out i'm playing some luddite who is only using one.

atawa · May 21, 2003, 10:33

He might be multitasking though.

Makeo · May 21, 2003, 10:37

Wouldn't it be possible to install civ onto your hard drive twice and open a save game of the mp game your playing in the other install?

SmartFart · May 21, 2003, 10:38

Great!

I am going out now but I'll be home on 22.oo h to see what did you guys decided.

War4ever:

Are we looking for a clean sweep or we're supposed to let them win one?
If sweep,who's gonna play us next time?

Makeo:

We could duel sometimes. It's really been awhile and that's a dam*n shame.
Drop me a note when your 2nd PC arrives. We could have fairly even match with that.

Makeo · May 21, 2003, 10:44

ho ho ho

Don´t you have our landscape observer? It´s a small useful program which shows enemy movement and city founding. It´s activated by "F10".

That's certainly never been discussed in RAH rules.

War4ever · May 21, 2003, 13:41

no it certainly has not....besides triangulation does the trick...

smart you need to make yourself more available.....

i need to start playing more med world games

Yes, but clever city name changes done at the right time can sometimes mislead an opponent. As ming can attest.

War4ever · May 21, 2003, 17:39

yes but you have too much free time or are too stupid to fall for that one more than once, kinda like the peace before i attack backstab..

sorry smart, i am at work

rah · May 22, 2003, 08:37

You do have to be lucky to make it believable more than once. It all depends on the timing. You have to switch it while he's checking and the distances must be right. But even if it doesn't fool, it can confuse.

SmartFart · May 22, 2003, 09:31

It's already thursday and no opponent so far. I was online yestreday but nobody posted or Icq-ed me about that game you ,my German friends, proposed.

What's happening. Sound like a *cooot* to me. ('coot' - noise made by birds,usually chickens or similar creatures).

Cobra...please note me if you like to start our duel tonight or tomorrow. If not...I would like to know in advance because I don't like an idea to spend 3 evenings in a row at home doing nothing

Regards.
