Setting up IP games XLIX - Page 3

Ever taken out someone's city when it build Mike or Leo's the turn before?

rah · September 2, 2003, 11:55

Always sweet.

Ljube · September 2, 2003, 11:59

I once took three cities in one turn which contained Mike, Magellan, Bach, Sung Tzu, the Great Library, Marco Polo and the Pyramids.

It only happened once, though.

rah · September 2, 2003, 12:01

From a real player, or the AI?

Ljube · September 2, 2003, 12:05

That's a good question.

Real player, whom I keep teasing all the times.

rah · September 2, 2003, 12:20

That's what makes the game fun.

Ljube · September 2, 2003, 12:23

He was a strange fruit. Built so many wonders, but not a single city wall.

He had to go down

Ljube · September 2, 2003, 12:33

The AI would have put up a better fight.

They would have, at least, built the city walls.

BUILD CITY WALLS FIRST AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS LATER!

A prudent advice.

rah · September 2, 2003, 13:28

Naw, for less than the cost of city walls, you can bring them down. With no other improvements 2 diplos will do the job. 60 shield vs 160. And city walls give you a false sense of security.

Ming · September 2, 2003, 13:34

Yeah... city walls with only a temple are easy to get rid of. And some people get so comfortable once they have a city wall, they don't bother having enough defense.

I can't remember the last time I built a city wall in a MP game.

rah · September 2, 2003, 14:01

I can, and berz took it down the same turn.

Walls only work against the AI and Barbs.

rah · September 3, 2003, 08:35

Ming, what's the deal Friday?

-Jrabbit · September 3, 2003, 09:09

Ming --

I'm out this week. London biz trip departs Friday 8pm.

So I miss another FNSGS, golf, the first week of NFL action, and a lot of (hopefully) important baseball.

rah · September 4, 2003, 09:59

Still waiting for the story for Friday.

Ming · September 4, 2003, 10:26

Unless plans change... we should be home from the game by 8pm. You have a key, so you can come over whenever you want.

Since JR is out of town, it will probably be a quiet night.

rah · September 4, 2003, 11:41

So I'll plan to get there around 7:30 or a tad earlier depending on when others will be showing up online.

If they post their intent that is.

atawa · September 4, 2003, 11:51

Dont count on me playing this weekend, I need some daylight hours

rah · September 4, 2003, 12:22

Yeah, you probably do.

Thanks for letting me know. I wish everyone was as curteous.

Ming · September 4, 2003, 12:27

As long as somebody shows... who cares if they are curteous or not

rah · September 4, 2003, 14:02

Good point. Looking for rude people then.

cavebear · September 4, 2003, 18:15

Are there still 1x1x games? I would like to get back into MP. At the very least, I can fill in for someone and not completely ruin their civ while they are away.

atawa · September 4, 2003, 18:47

There are a couple, mostly on euro or oz time though.

Baron O · September 4, 2003, 23:32

after all the relative visits, birthdays, and the like i need some civ.

i will be available saturday for sure but i won't get home till about 9 central friday

hope war is available

War4ever · September 5, 2003, 00:45

sorry guys, its been a rough last few days, i am working on zero sleep, and i am going out of my mind psychologically

i will catch you guys on the flip side of life!

rah · September 5, 2003, 08:10

Damn, looks pretty thin tonight.
I hope someone shows. I'll be late getting to Ming's tonight.

Ming · September 5, 2003, 10:35

Hopefully people are just being rude and you will have no problem getting a game tonight

rah · September 6, 2003, 19:37

I'm finally awake. Anybody else around?

Baron O · September 6, 2003, 21:09
