Multi player Strategies

[drake]

15 years ago..........
Scene from a minor league baseball team's dugout where ESPN is interviewing Mark McGuire:

ESPN: So Mark, now that you've bashed the pitchers of the minor league into the ground, I guess you're ready to step up to the Majors huh?

Mark: No, I'm all set here....I don't like to challenge myself and am only comfortable with things I know I can win at.

ESPN: But you've had so many offers MArk, how can you turn them down?

Mark: Simple. I don't like to expand my horizons. Besides, I've heard pro games average an extra half hour or so....*laughing* and you all know how impatient I am.....

ESPN: Um....ok Mark......uh....have fun in the minors.....

Mark: Thanks. I won't be goaded into playing with the other pros. I heard that you might actually have to challenge yourself up there...and boy...I sure wouldn't want to do that!

ESPN guy rolls his eyes.

Mark: Oh, like I really care what your lousy channel thinks.......*pouts*I'm going to go home and take my bat home so no one else can use it!

As Mark walks away, the end of the bat falls off and tennis balls fall out........He quickly begins scrambling around picking them up....he yells at the staring ESPN guys "Hey I may be a cheat, but I'm still the best in the minor leagues!!! So there!"

Feeling a little defensive are we? Guess it is your ego at stake. Your insults are nothing more than a form of escapism that is best suited for a 10-year-old (no offense to any 10-year-old Fanatics that display a higher level of maturity than our good friend Eyes here).

Fine..you don't play deity, but stop with the excuses. Just simply say no and get over yourself.

I am undisputedly the greatest player on 2x2x and on 1x1x and 2x1x I'm arguably the best. I'm quite satisfied with everything and I so reason to play deity nor will I ever.

Not playing deity is basis enough to dispute your greatness on these settings. Your argument against diety has some substance, I will, and have, given you that much, but I can make as strong an argument against any other level for that matter.

My hope for you Eyes is in thinking that you are some confused adolescent that feels the need to hide behind some type of alter ego. I really do hope that someone beats you at your own game someday. Not out of bitterness, or resentment, but out of sympathy for who you are. Hopefully the fall won't be so bad that you can't find it within yourself to get back up.

What, you didnt find that funny? I thought it was very humorous! I edited it cuz I had to put in the part about the corked bat...

C'mon now, stop taking yourself so serious...this is a silly computer game we're talking about here! Isn't it?!

 

[EyesOfNight]

That's right, and you have absolutely no idea who you're talking to. You guys still haven't caught on yet. Maybe one day I'll tell you.

Ok, I'll make you a deal Iccky. Start a game with the AI in multiplayer mode on 2x2x. play King, Villages only, only 1 AI. You may not attack the AI at all throughout the entire game. No bribing cities and stuff either. Wonders my only be built in your capital and your capital only. The map must be small, 40X50. You may customize if you like using the custom map menu. By 1AD you must have 120-140 cities and be ready to launch a spaceship. If you can do that then I'll consider you worthy to play. This is a very very simple challenge, so if you can't even do this don't even waste my time asking me to play.

 

[iccky]

Ok, I appologize a bit for the last post I was slightlly intoxicated when I wrote it it usually takes a lot more for me to whip out my flamethrower. I do not doubt that you are probably a better player then me eye and only think that one should only claim to be the greatest military genius if you can do it anywhere under any conditions.

That said I'll take your little challenge. Expect a saved game from me showing my sucess in maybe a week or so, where should I send it?

Don't drink and post-

I must have hit the nail on the head so to speak.

Your a classic guy yourself there Eyes. I highly doubt that your dismissal of what I said is in any way original in itself. With that said, what exactly does it mean if I am not the first person to have crossed paths with you in the forums? I think the answer is obvious.

The inherent value of my words are still intact whether they are orginal or not. I marked you as a person with a problem and I apologise for doing as much. You are beautiful with no reason to change.

Iccky, either through ICQ or to Dulaak@hotmail.com

"With that said, what exactly does it mean if I am not the first person to have crossed paths with you in the forums? I think the answer is obvious."

Please, go into details. I really would like to hear this obvious answer straight from the mouth of one so wise as yourself.

"I marked you as a person with a problem and I apologise for doing as much. You are beautiful with no reason to change."

hahhaaha! Not bad, I doubt you'll be as challenging as cavebear though. I guess we'll see.

 

[SunTzu]

I've found it quite hilarious that eyes you talk so much trash but when a skilled deity player confronts you and challenges you, you run away with your keyboard inbetween your legs. Why is that? Let see hmmm you can't win w/o cheating? Or editing the rules to your gameplay. Maybe that's it yes hmmmm, possibly

Well, it must be close to the Armageddon. Lord, you know that I won’t fly by that lesson you taught me, to pull out my Wesson you brought me, and i’m not stressin’ it softly. Get ‘em up off me, ‘cause all we wanted harmony, been bombin’ ‘em. Yell up outta my ghetto, “I won’t settle,” get on my level.</FONT c></FONT f>

Eyes, can you "see" the hypocrisy? "Challenging" is a very interesting word seeing that this whole conversation sprung from a challenge that was made to you. You don't seem to be the challenging type. Stick to what your best at..oh, never mind, you already do.

Well, I tried knowing where it would lead. "What can you do when you live in a shoe."

Eyes, can I give you a hug buddy? You sound like you need one

 

[markusf]

In the saterday diplogame diety raging hordes 1x 1x. I have 20 cities and 8 wonders at 100 bc. I didn't trade a single tech and i am already working on engineering. i built sun tu, gl, maggellans, lighthouse, pyramids, gardens and marco polo. I am also about to finish another 2 wonders. Not my best game but certainly a good one, its not easy playing against 6 allied players. The point on diety is not to have a ton of cities, but to have a lot of extremely powerful cities (produce 300+ gold a turn/city by 600 ad) is the goal. This way you can fund massive expansion/war

 

[SunTzu]

Nice hearing from you Markusf, i find your strat to work pretty good

[markusf]

lol sun tu, if your using it you might consider using all those caravans to just crank out wonders. It keeps the other players weak, and delays the super growth by about 500 years. but big deal you still fly through the tech tree and you can wage a nice war on the side.

 

[EyesOfNight]

How about a game on 2x2x cim? Or how about 2x1x? You do play those don't you? I of course CHALLENGE you to those settings. You will of course accept right? You of course "see" the hypocrisy don't you? I play every single setting except Deity. I think everyone should have 1 setting they don't like to play. I highly doubt you'll find anyone that plays as many settings as I do.

"Stick to what your best at..oh, never mind, you already do."

Well I guess if you put it that way I'm good at every single setting except Deity. I think that's a compliment.

By the way suntzu, I just love the way you use your moderator powers to delete my responses to you. Especially considering the fact that yours contained profanity while mine contained no offensive words at all. How did you put it? "take your d i c k out of kaak's a s s and something something something you focking fagot." Truly the way a moderator should act.

Just a little note, if you try to edit this one in any way I'm keeping a copy of this post for future reference.


Come on sun tzu, just delete it one more time. Keep it up.

 

[SunTzu]

Yes i know i'm the role model for all of the moderators here.

Even though I've turned everyone down and told everyone that I will not play Deity, I'm going to accept your challenge because you asked so nicely.
