Yep big difference on big worlds 1x... but on 2x small world, I still like having that archer available when your horses show up

War4ever · July 17, 2003, 00:45

without a doubt... i can see on tiny landmasses too where the disbanding is viable.....but not on a small single continent world where your opponent may be 8 squares away

rah · July 17, 2003, 08:38

Yeah, nothing like having your first exploring warrior get 4 squares away and then showing closer to someone else's capital. DOH

Ming · July 17, 2003, 10:59

Yep... that's when you know you are in trouble... and better hope there is some open land in the other direction. Or go capital hunting knowing that you will probably get a restart after taking somebodies capital

War4ever · July 17, 2003, 23:26

yeah, thats why three man games are often a duel and a pylon....or a two on one......

i hate three man games.....

Ming · July 18, 2003, 00:17

It all depends who is playing, and how even the start is.

But yes, a three man game can turn into a duel really quickly.

Where do you keep track of the top ten posters?

Did you guys set up a LAN to play Civ II MP? Sounds like fun! Could you please tell the tale of the front, who were in the game, how did it end etc? If nothing else, it will provide you an opportunity to get +1's...

Hydey has ~~spa~~ posted his way into the top 20 now I see.

Wohoo, at least one Swedish flag among the crème de la crème!

You would expect less from the ~~illegitimate~~ son of Alexander's Horse ?

rah · July 18, 2003, 08:16

Yes, we expect no less.

If he made a mistake and edited it you should have quoted him before he could change it, like he did to me yesterday.

Hydey · July 18, 2003, 08:44

It was fine for me but I wondered if you ~~weirdo's~~ clever guys thought it to be ok before I responded

Ming · July 20, 2003, 03:48

Looks fine by me

Hydey · July 21, 2003, 07:11

No Ming, I was asking the clever guys.

rah · July 21, 2003, 08:21

Wow, back on topic.

I can't believe I didn't know English.

Ming · July 21, 2003, 10:47

But seriously back on topic... it's nice to see the guys in the strategy section continue to disect the game and bring new knowledge to that table.

To paraphrase the great economist J M Keynes: We are all the slaves of the ideas of some long gone master strategist...

AH, I take it you don't use, say, Oedo years?

He knows them off by heart. We just ask him via King Chat what the next year is. Back comes the answer.

DrSpike · July 23, 2003, 09:17

But you get credit for mentioning Keynes anyway.

finbar · July 23, 2003, 09:50

Keynesian?

DrSpike · July 23, 2003, 11:48

Every economist is Keynesian to one degree or another. Keynes' contributions to economics (and indeed the progress of human well-being) are immense.

To be honest (and despite DrSpike's assertion above) I don't know what kind of economist I am... There are no right answers in economics... I guess I'm a sceptical one...

But I'd put J M Keynes among the top three economists of all time together with Adam Smith... The third spot is still open for debate...

Carolus Rex · July 23, 2003, 12:00

Oh, (semi-back on topic) and I can't believe how calm the MP forum is now that Hydey seems to have logged off...

You are an economist? If so you can join me in the fight against the infidels who call us lords of voodoo.

Btw the third person to add to the list would have to be Marshall.
