ACtually I was referring to the fact that he compared it to beating up on the AI. But I guess that statement was even worse than I thought.
Is anyone up to teaching Civ2 Gold

Eyes,
Excuse me, my opinion stands, even if different than yours.
I know we peons will never measure up to your, ahem, brilliant mind; but we do the best we can to struggle through life with this handicap.

Drake years go by 20 not 50 in prince level when the games starts. on 2 player for some reason it once in a while it goes by 50. SO that would be 150 turns from 4000bc to 1000 bc by 20 years per turn.
nope sorry.Turns are 50 years until 1000bc on prince.20 years is chieftain.
.....makes no difference whether its MP or single.Thats a stretch...keep trying

Finally! I knew you had at least some intelligent sloww. At least 1 person knows his place in life now. Why can't more of you comprehend your inferiority to me?

I haven't got any dogs in this particular fight, but I find a statement like this about a fellow player to be silly to the extreme.. people play for social as well as skill reasons... tell me Eyes... even as good as you claim that you are... why would anybody in their right mind play you ? Things are going to change in the Civ commmunity.. and there are going to be two sorts of players.. those who are playing other people & those who wish that they could... where are you going to be ?

You're never at a loss for words.
Maybe you can get a job as a Lot Lizard (car sales).
You guys talking Chieftain and Prince?
Sorry, i don't know what happens at levels that low.

It became a small discussion on whether it was possible to get all techs by 1000bc on prince.Anyone that could do this without funny stuff would be one the best civ players around....period.

Even if it was possible, which it isn't, a stunt like that wouldn't impress me unless it was in a multiplayer game on a normal map. Playing against an inferior opponent (AI) proves nothing.
Running up the score on the ai will never hold any worth for me.........
Anyone else feel the same?

Actually dog I get tons of requests from players to play me, so you tell me why that is.
Actually,I think a MP game with cooperation is the only way to do it..so no I would be more impressed if it could be done alone.
If a player could do that,there would be little or no MP competition for them.

1x1x or 2x2x?

Must be a lot of people that are suckers for punishment .. eyes. If I am not mistaken.. you were trying to do a little "bottom-feeding" ( luring rookies ) on this thread & others. I doubt if I would ever bother playing you in a one-on-one game, but of course I usually don't play multiplayer games with just one other player.. unless it is just to teach somebody the basics of IP play.

I already told you HIER, beat Markus on 1x1x and then I will consider you worthy of playing me a duel. That is of course if markus is bored enough to lower himself to play you. If you can't beat markus then you should not even bother to challenge me.

I think you are afraid to play me a game eyesofnight probably because you know i would win.

Just play him eyes......either he is
A) really good and could give you a good game
B) desperately in need of being humbled by someone
either way, you should play him.....you've played worse I'm sure

Yes, however the difference is that HIER wants to play a Large map with 7 AI's Deity game. I would rather kill myself than go through torture like that. Playing a 1x1x game is bad enough, but playing it against a beginner on a setting like that is just too much. So I'll get Markus to do it. hehehhee

I require 1x1, large maps, 7 Civs and raging hordes, restart destroyed civs. I like long games! Call me sick
but for me, playing Civ2 is analogous to lovemaking - let it last all night! Too short and I feel cheated.
AIs in MP games just adds more luck to it.Good or bad.Not a good thing.Especially with the ai of mge.
Here is the typical chain of events.
1 player close to an AI.Freebies- techs and gold.Then crush and free cities.If planned out,they also get a wonder or 2.Generally not good ones,but wonders none the less and for "free".
or 1 player close to several ais.That player is forced to devote resources for military defense and aggression while the other player(s) build nothing but caravans.By the time the ais have been subdued you will be behind in techs and wonders.You will be ahead in military tech but on a large map by the time you get there..well..you know the story.And you will be fighting humans in their backyard.
so..
for fun games-ais are welcome.Why not.Gang up on them and have a little fun
competitive games-no way
