Looking for DECENT duel players

[tommynt]

dude u talk about clickfest when most people dont even build a army to fight with

and with both players being kinda equal skilled duels and mp at all is not about fighting at all - there are usually stalements anyway but its about buildup
and for all the thing u have to do to beat deity u also have to have SOME civ IQ

pls dont post if u got nothing say, also I dont look for semiclever guys posting but for decent ones to get challanged in a game

Most great players are eventually beaten by their own disciples / proteges.

You should post a video on youtube, that would really help a ton of players and maybe would get them into MP more. I know I'd be more interested in trying MP if I had any idea how to play it. I've always played SP and I am really turned away by the fact that every player moves at the same time. And it's also laggy and slow, which I can't stand.

To handle the fact that every player moves at the same time... strategic view is very helpful. Those pretty graphics are nice in the normal view, but clicking around in strategic view is faster. Also, change the settings so that your curser doesn't bounce around to the different units, and limit pop up boxes.

Called no unit cycling. I like unit cycling when at peace.

bump, no1 out there able to play late era at a decent lvl?

If you hate the clickfest, I recommend teams, 3x3 better than 2x2. The advantage of the fast clicker in a 1vs1 battle (can be a duel or a FFA where only u 2 at war) is that there are key events... that wounded unit you want to move, or that tile u both want to get to first, that weak unit you want to destroy before it can escape. The fast clicker in a 1x1 gets those first and they have a noticable advantage. In a 3x3 the key events are spread between players, so they have to chose what are the most important key events for them, and accept that some key events are going to be lost... fast clickers get their way less often. If a fast clicker is fighting 2 at once, you can often get first pick on what you want to move, because 2 clickers vs 1 clicker is a big difference. In fact, there is skill on predicting what is the most important event for the fast clicker to attend to first, let him have his event, then you go first on another event important to you. Finally, if the fast click team doesn't have voice chat and you do, you will have a noticable advantage because you can communicate on where you will be moving and doing next turn without having to take your hand off the mouse.

well another bump ...

after I played some guys they allways ask me to play their "better" friends ...

whats with the guys posting here?
Tabernalk, Rinero?

 

[KM]

US plays only medi on his premade maps, not interested in that
merle I played sometimes -were some decent game but his french conection lags horrible - together with him waiting every turn to end (even when nothing happens) and lagy fastmoves makes game no fun
Hannibal and DJmax are Ok players but no real challenge

DJMax told me recently played 3 duels and won 2 against you....

I shouldnt say anything thought since u beat me 3-0

 

[KM]

It is such a joke! Noboby wants to play against you Tommyint, because you are not fair play, you insult other players, you décline games when you lose.
Anyway, you only play DUEL ( never other type) against new and unexperiment players because you are too affraid of loosing (in 5 month, I never see you win against a top 5 players. Oh, sorry : it MUST be their bad connection or another trustworthy excuse).
Merle, US, platov, djmax are the strongest, if you beat them, you are the best. But for the moment, you are just a joke.

Not true. I ve played him and he outplayed me every time. ok I m faar from the best player around but I m a lot more used to winning then loosing. Actually I win most of my games and I have been playing people that are in the top 10 at civleague. Basicly I concider myself a very solid player.the game.

But he was just slightly better then me at all things. All those small decitions he made slightly better than me that in the end added up to me loosing.

I consider him to be the best player I ve played so faar. (havnt played DJmax thought, and havnt played Universal soldier since very early after civ 5 release)

..And well.. I must agree tommynth can be a bit cocky about his skill. but if u r no. one I think u got the right to be.

One thing thought. he said he dont play civ that much.. well I tok a look at his profile and lets put it like this.. he had more gaming time the last week than i have for the last month. So the thing about not playng civ so much.. well that really is a truth that is somewhat.. well I guess relative...

 

[KM]

Also one thing I might ad about strategy. Tommynth twise made a very succesfull alternetive to Iw then NC against me wich gave him long term tech advantage.

I ve tried it out afterwords and it works more than just fine
I dont know exactly what he built but I guess it goes something like this. This is what i do anyway.

Settle on hill. tech to writing. build, in cap. monument, scout, granery. Great library Choose liberty. get free settler, build second city. Spam worriors from second city. Tech IW
When GL finish make settler and settle on iron. Now her s two alternetives. either go for free worker or + production in liberty tree. I go free worker first for two reasons. if u got iron at cap or second city u will not be forced to place 3d city in a bad location just to get iron. Second reason is the 5% towards buildings wont be that important since u ll be spamming units for a while and the +1 prod can be made up for by actually beeing able to improve land quite early.

Run on 3 cities and make about 5-6 worriors and upgrade to sword. then switch to library if u r not to hard pressed by the oponent to be able to make NC quite fast in the cap.

this will give u a huge tech advantage in the long run and still put u in well shape to defend aganst a swordrush.

I usually got my PC running all day, and usually steam is running meanwhile ...

have played maybe 3 hours of mp and 4 hours of sp the last 2 weeks (which I had been for holiday 4 days).

My timescedule between being fulltime worker, parttime student, playing WoW (usually 4day a week 3 hours each), having a girlfriend and TRYING to have even more rl doesnt offer more then 1 hour between work and WoW and 2 hours after for civ usually - sadly

espacially these crazzy FFAs which I tried once or twice on weekends - u know after some time sun is more sunny then winning ...

DJMax told me recently played 3 duels and won 2 against you....

2 of our last 3 games been indu teamers, when he teamed with way more experienced guys as me and we still won once - the other time he draw op persia (and it was still close)
I also lost only duel since like 3 month vs him - also indu game - didnt have a single uran in my land ... max is a very good player - nothing to shame when loosing vs him and well no uran = gg - nukes way to cheap and opwerful

 

[KM]

Btw Tommynth did I ge the stretgy right that u use on me?

 

[KiffeLesBiffles]

I also lost only duel since like 3 month vs him

Really ? No, 3 months too long to exclude this :

Spoiler :
