Finishing?

[Dell19]

So its 1500AD after three early wars you control all the important resources and whilst the other empires still survive your current wars see cavalry fighting spearmen. Your the most advanced nation, no one can stop you, do you carry on for the conquest victory or just start a new game since the result is clear?

 

[Tomoyo]

I will finish only if the mark in my HoF will prove a first. (Like a first win on X difficulty)

Normally, I quit when it gets too boring.

Besides,

 

[Dell19]

I always thought that it was only tanks affected by mighty spearmen, not cavalry...

 

[Moss]

I usually try to win if I've gone that far into the game. If I'm going to quit a game it usually happens in the late Medival Age.

Surely you will be at tanks, sometime, as that Pike will delay your conquest of your continent until a Tank runs it over, and all the horses in the world mysteriously disappear.

I don't know, I rushed through the tech tree to get cavalry and now I need to fill out the other techs so I have plenty of time to wipe out everyone else before tanks come around... Although some better ships would be helpful as I have about 15 galleys at the moment to island hop...

 

[Tomoyo]

At least spears are ineffective against Marines. I bet that there is a one tile island somewhere.

 

[sampedestal]

if theres only a couple of outteched civs left, i'll try and wait to get tanks. tank vs. weaker unit is very fun. but i never have the patience to research it :-D

(10 char minimum)

 

[Alexnm]

I must win completely, totally and definitely!

 

[Garbarsardar.jr]

As you probably have guessed from the Armaggedon thing even winning is not enough
If even momentarily(or usually for long hours) you confine yourself within the rality borders of the game the end is the END is the end...and no one can cope with the END
Some times I leave an IMS(invinciblemountainspearman) surrounded by MI and RA and I wait for him to attack turn after turn after turn...
nothing happens
am I a sad person or what?

There isn't a one tile island that I have seen so far and the computer doesn't understand using units to block the coastline...

Earth maps (e.g TETurkhanTOT) are full of one tile nifgtmares
what I have not seen is a one mountain-tile island with a fortified IMS...yet...

 

[kokoras]

Depends on the game,if it will become boring i quit even if i am to win it.I prefer beeing in a situation where my probabilitys of wining are not so great.

 

[synseer.]

Whenever the outcome in certain

Not a fortified spearman on a one-tile mountain island, but close enough.

(Got it from another thread here, not mine, sorry.)

 

[Dell19]

Not much motivation to ever try to clear those islands... Is the island to the right actually a one tile island as there might be a tile to the east from looking at the picture.

 

[The Last Conformist]

I usually play to the final victory.

 

[Tomoyo]

Those islands make excellent elite training grounds, assuming you don't get attacked. Berserking training good it's for best!

 

[Dell19]

I never really use barbs as much as I should to train units, it takes time where they could be moving to fight somewhere else...
