So now you are a newspaper editor, and as such you are an expert in the art of sarcasm especially your own, perhaps you are unable to pick up on someone elses! Just what do you think your carefully selected responses from me realy meant? "Khrax doesn't (need)". This just about sums your...

I will not appologise for what I think of you, but I will appologise for being completely drunk after watching football with some friends and then coming on this site. I picked the wrong time to pick fault with your politeness, this from you is the most praise I have ever seen you give to a...

Look back through this thread and you will see that Khrax had words of praise for you once he found out you had won, it didn't hurt him to be nice and I am sure he knows there will be plenty of other opportunities to beat you in the future! Your response was to tell us all how to play, you just...

This is for Vexing, I tried to be nice, but you are who you are!! It rankled me to be so friggin nice to you, but you and I know that Khrax is definately your match, you could have said thankyou for the praises I gave!! I have achieved what I set out to achieve and that was to have the...

Congratulations Vexing, Khrax and Peets, I may have been able to give Peets a good run for the bronze if my pc was up to it, but such is life! With the advent of the courthouse bug being fixed, it is hard to imagine Gold or Silver ever being challenged, I imagine Khrax must be gutted about only...

Well it didn't survive this patch, and I won't have to get over it because I never have used the bug to it's full potential. I started this thread almost a year ago with the sole intention of highlighting the dangers of civ fans being too reliant on something that was not intended!

Every now and then a top player comes out with something truly outstanding, IMO this ranks up there with the best of them and may well stand the test of time!

I have found the same problem, something to do with loops and strings! I thought it was something to do with my pc so I tested with a quick duel dom game and got the same response.

You can rest assured it won't be me, my pc can't handle a game of this magnitude and I can't afford a new one for the time being! I probably should have posted a score of around 15,000, but in my frustration of yet another freeze (I knew it was coming when all my farms turned into their...

I just did a quick calculation and the result is staggering, if you include the time and date victories, I make it over 350,000 combinations!

I have it in my head whilst playing, that for every turn played after half way on a 330 turn based quick game that I will be loosing .0675 of the double score achieved at the half way point. My mind works in strange ways, I never did listen to maths teachers when I was at school! This is...

I am certainly not a mathematician, but I have through trial and error managed to come to this conclusion. Just suppose for the sake of simplicity the full duration of a game is 200 turns. If you win the game on 100 turns then your score will be exactly double the score shown in the...

I have just found out that I only have 3.25 gigs of Ram and had to pack my game up near the end because of (freezing). I know absolutely nothing about the internal workings of a pc, but my son informs me that this could be the cause of my problems (.75 damaged Ram). Unfortunately for me in...

I don't know if my pc is up to playing this type of game because too many workers causes a freeze, having said that, I sure would like to give it a go! My aproach would be very different to Sporaticus, I am thinking one round of Ra's might be the way to go!

Mostly I would agree with you, but sometimes we could have formed bad habits when playing under extreme intensity, perhaps not daring to waver from what we have learned. Sometimes a break from such intensity can be a good thing, and just maybe a different aproach can be found through...
