  • Introducing me.

    This is my first post on Apolyton, so I'll introduce myself.

    I played MOM, MOO, MOO2, MOO3 (not to fond of this one), Civ2, Civ3, and I got Civ4 for Christmas, 2005.

    I never managed to win the space race in Civ III, it seemed like I just never could get enough research.

    Currently, I am in the process of playing through Civilization IV with each country/leader combination at the chieftan level, to see how they respond. I can't say I'm trying a specific strategy, just pretty much go with the moment.

    So far I have won a diplomatic victory with America/Roosevelt (although I dislike the United States being generalized as America), and I've won the Space race with Spain.

    I am running an Arabian scenario right now, and am just up to the 1970s with little likliehood of winning other than by time.

    I have tried one Warlord scenario (With Spain I think), and have had little luck, I kept getting beat down by barbarians, and then Japan attacked me for no apparent reason. At this point in the game, I've lost my capitol (to Japan), and had it move to my second city, and my second city, grew, but is now on the verge of falling to the Japanese, after fending them off for centuries. I have two other cities that might be able to stave off impending doom, though I'll not count on it. My last hope is a galley with an Archer and a Settler that is fleeing the oncoming army of the Japanese, who have a catapult and a few Elephant Riders (Can't remember the actual unit name right now, and I'm at work).

    As far as me, I have an interest in games, particularly TBS and RPG games, not so much the RTS games. I am a Computer Science major at UTSA, and I enjoy writing and programming. I have a web page at http://grreed.home.texas.net or if you prefer more easily remembered names, http://www.falconsgate.com although there you have to deal with banners from register.com. At my web site, I do not support any product or person, it is specifically a personal interest website.

    That's it for the introduction.

      Blue.

      I answer this question in response to the perceived sarcasm.

      Probably a bad post, and I'll take it as constructive criticism.

        Well, welcome anyway. Glad to see you enjoying the game, and good luck with Tokugawa. Blue is my favourite colour too.

          Smart move posting here... OT would've shot you down
          "You are one of the cheerleaders for this wasting of time and the wasting of lives. Do you feel any remorse for having contributed to this "culture of death?" Of course not. Hey, let's all play MORE games, and ignore all the really productive things to do with our lives.
          Let's pretend to be shocked that a gamer might descend into deeper depression, as his gamer "buds," knowing he was killing himself, couldn't figure out how to call 911 themselves for him. That would have involved leaving their computers I guess."

            Well,

            I can't help it. My momma always said not to talk to strangers.

            I figure after I ought to introduce myself so I wouldn't be a stranger, even though I gladly admit to being strange.

            Anyway, as I understand it a forum is really just an online community. Sometimes you talk of topics other than the community (such as that interesting sub-topic about the origin of the term Dark Ages under the Marathon is great thread).

            As far as choice of venue, there isn't another one that is General enough to allow an introduction.

            Still, my initial post is not directly related to Civilization IV and the title does seem a bit egocentric in hindsight.

              There's a separate OT section but don't worry about that. Nobody cares what you post in general and you get a very different crowd in other sections of the forum.

              Welcome to Civ and Apolyton!

                  Its possible, I got this from his webcam earlier:

                    I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

                      Interestingly, the proportion of gays on Apolyton is indeed pretty high.
