^ ^ Now you've gone off the deep end. Worker stealing is an exploit too? and capturing a city!?
So, anyone who plays any strategy that you don't play, or never thought to play, is exploiting the game. Your games are unbeatable as long as everyone plays exactly how you do. So I can use 'no barbs' because you do. And I can have huts on like you do, but if I get a tech, I should abandon that game because you want me to 'avoid' that technique. I can use mapfinder for gold/gems, etc., but not to find a nice hut. I can use a Cold/Lakes to make the map play smaller, but I can't use a High Seas/Pangaea. Sounds like you need a lot more than an Inca filter.
RE: being off topic. I thought if I bumped off some of your old games- - sans-Inca. You might not be so protective of them, and it would put this issue to rest.
You asked me for a "challenge" and I added conditions. If you don't like the conditions, don't agree to your proposal as I amended it.
Sorry, my Tribal Village condition was poorly defined: You are welcome to have Tribal Villages on and enter any Tribal Villages on t1 or later. This will at least force you to load or start a new map rather than simply regenerating it after a "failed" Tribal Village event.
If you don't play under the same restrictions that I did, what would the point of the "challenge" you originally proposed?
You can use Inca Civ or non-Inca Civ hower you see fit, but if you are framing it as BtS skill "challenge" versus my already played games, the games should be played under the same conditions as much as RNG allows.
If I misunderstood your intent in making the challenge of beating three of my best games, then please accept my apology for misunderstanding your offer and we can just forget about it.
In the past I have dissuaded players from beating my games by simply saying I would retake them if they succeeded, becauce I knew I would be able to do so. It was intended to save both our playing time; nothing more.
I will not try to dissaude from taking my remaining RLDV games, because I'm not sure I could without using the Inca Civ. I would not characterize thst as being protective; I was simply defending my #1 games via both persuation and game playing.
Your 12 Inca games (1 from the previous update) may have been the catalyst for this thread, but that is all. All that beating my best three games with a non-Inca would prove is you don't need the Inca Civ to do it. That doesn't make the Inca Civ any less overpowering and thus the need for an Inca filter for the HoF remains. Thus, winning those three games won't have the effect you want anyway. You have opened my eyes to the Inca threat and we can't turn the clock back. What is done can not be undone. Welcome to the new world (Inca Civ taking over the HoF).
