Rookies vs. Pros

[Dogberry_Old]

Thunderfall told me that any Civ Pro can take down a coalition of 2 or 3 middling to new players... I say not ? What say you ?

King...all x1.. Hordes & 50x80 random map..huts..chat from start.. all 7 tribes ( incl AIs )... "dead" players can come back in place of AIs & so on.

Test of Time..Original & I host... ( I am simply a good player..certainly not an "expert".)

 

[Cimfindriel]

I am apt to agree with Thunderfall. Even when a group of great Civ players go to battle there is always one or two players that dominate let alone a game in which a fanatic plays three newbies, or middle weight civers. I would even go as far as to say that even with a bad start and some really great organization on your part that the Pro would come out on top. Unfortunately, I am not this person otherwise I would love to play. This should be interesting to follow if you get it off the ground. Good luck!

CivPro ? harharhar..in your dreams !

There are no CivPros. You cant award yourself a title, you have to earn it through results.

Those who are new here may have played hundreds of games of Civ for all you know.

True, this is all very relative, but there are Civ Pros. When I say newbie it is a reference to a person who has just started playing Civ and not a person who has just joined Civfanatics. There is a difference and I don't think that I have to point it out.

With all this said, I too agree with you Captain, "...you have to earn it through results."

I could beat up to 3 mid-level players, and probably 5 or 6 newbies, on my own.

 

[kaak]

agreed. one of the better players could easily take out ranks of newbies, but no reason for ai's...

 

[markusf]

lol, sounds easy. I could take on 3 or 4 seasoned players with those settings and win.

 

[EyesOfNight]

hehehhe Markus you played me 1 on 1 with those exact same settings and you lost twice in a row. What is your idea of a seasoned player?

 

[markusf]

hahaha, losing and quiting out of disgust are 2 different things. Lets play again if your not chicken? And this time no more stupid rules like not allowed to build caravans.

 

[EyesOfNight]

Ok, fine. YOu quit before you even got trade. If we had played with trade you would have been in alot of trouble. You're not the only one that knows how to use caravans.

 

[markusf]

bs, first game you had a bunch of free tech, and you got rep by 2000 bc both games. I didn't even have a government by 500 ad both times. Second game i got all damn plains on a **** island. I have never gotten so many none government path techs, i believe it was 8 or 9techs.

DAMN! What a load of hot air we got going in here. I consider myself an "average" player and I don't think any of you could beat 3 players of my calibre VS one of you.

It's a good thing you don't need a door to get into these forums, cuz most of you would get stuck when you try and stick your big head through the doorway.

Talk about arrogance.

I see a lot of people "talking the talk".. but I don't see anybody "walking the walk". Which "Pro" have I got to step forward for this ? Where are all the club newcomers at ? C'mon guys n' gals ... step up to the plate !

Btw.. Eyes & Markus.. please start another thread to bicker on. Let's keep this one focused !

Be informed however ..that if you are agreeing to this game..which I am going to be naming "Gullivier"... I want you to be in for the long haul.. & go as far toward completion as humanly possible.

[Cimfindriel]

markusf aren't you on about the same level as Agharta, because I think a Pro would be someone who could easily crush Agharta...and I think that Aggy would agree. Hope I'm not presuming too much by having said all this.

Any hoot..Dogberry I am about average if not a little below and I would love to play if you can find a Pro to play...someone reputed to be the best is simply not enough. You need someone who can really walk the walk

How about you Eyes...up for it?

[markusf]

Agharta? hahaha

I have one ongoing game with him in it. Lets see there are 7 players, diety 1x 1x. its 450 bc, i have the most cities and i have 4 wonders completed and another 2 wonders done in about 4 turns. No one else has a single wonder built yet.
players include
Carnide
Agharta
war4ever
zylka
diety
and someone i can't remember. I would say those people qualify as better then average.

 

[markusf]

Also didn't Agharta start a thread here whining about how i took 15 cities in 5 turns? and killed off him and SF

 

[EyesOfNight]

Markus did I mention I put both the saves in a trophy file? Did I mention that war4ever agreed with me when I said the first game was fair? I agree, the second game you had no chance because of the island. But the first game was about as fair as you can get. You are still clueless. You might be really good in multiplayer games markus, but you aren't going to beat me in a duel. No matter what setting. Live with it. And stop trying to over exaggerate these games. The first game you got just as many advanced tribes if not more. And you stole republic from me early on!! You have absolutely no excuse. First game you got out played, just admit it. Cimfindriel I only play duels, not multiplayer games.

And just to show that you are clueless as to why you lost, you even accused me of cheating in those games. Give it up man.

[markusf]

just shut up and play, this time i host.

 

[EyesOfNight]

HAHAHAHA!!! And you think somehow by you hosting you'll be able to win? I think that's an admittal of the fact that you have no clue as to why you lost. Go back and look at the saves. I have a save if you want it. Maybe you'll be able to understand how I beat you.
