    I´ve played a couple of MP Arena games now and would like to share some thoughts regarding possible settings from a "what´s fun", but also "what´s fair and interesting for a competetive game" perspective.

    So far we´ve been playing mostly duels and a few ffa games (4-6 people, everyone for himself, not always war).

  3. Quick Expansion Strategy with France

    After rah´s City States centred Strategy this is another attempt at exploring general strategy in the brand new Civilization V. The strategies and ideas I´ll present in the first couple of articles have proven themselves in Single Player on Deity difficulty - that though defnitely does not mean they represent some fundamental truth.

  4. MP duel described from both sides

    Sean and me spend the world wide launch of civ5 with a MP duel (and some waiting for the game to actually be available ).

    We played Egypt vs. France on duel sized Inland_Sea. It was quick game speed and in an attempt to keep land fair(er), we used legendary resources.

    Here is a description of the game from both sides.
