Should we open a new thread called "Getting my explanation / excuses in early in case I don't do as brilliantly as I think I should" ?" I can't believe we are already having conversations about bigger and smaller civs already - we are all the same size!

Less cities is better for diplo games, this will push for more diplomacy and negotiations. And that is what we want!!
There will be always someone with more cities than you that is the reality.
Yes i like the rest of you have less land, big deal i will try to focus on diplomacy and get along with the civs i find nearby.
Agains Ozzy has placed enough land for all of us, there are suppose to be many islands and some continents out there.Comment

i have posted because a record must be kept early, we will see how diplomacy plays out later.
for now i wish i had sailing...

Don't worry mzprox; I have never quitted a game, except for personal i.e. OOG reasons, and won't change here. Only times I have left before the end of any game is when I have been knocked out.“Quid latine dictum sit, altum videtur”

A comment regarding diplogames. Honestly if one player is in such a position I do not think that their options should be hamstrung by being a "diplo" game. If negotiations to acquire more land fail or are not feasible, then they should take the only alternative ... outright aggression. It is unrealistic to think this would not happen in real life. Is the rule such that war is prohibited in this situation? In history when civilizations have their back against the wall, war results - that is life and humanity has excelled at it. Unfortunately, we will likely see this play out too soon when adequate fresh water and food becomes unavailable to large segments of the world but I digress.

He didn't. Everyone has room for 6-8 cities. Yes, St. Jon, even you. Now if you guys are really that bad at civ that you build all your cities far apart from each other, well then I guess that's your problem. But it isn't a problem of the map.Originally posted by Rasputin View Post

I'm not sure but if there is really 3 islands that everyone started on then I'm assuming that st. john is on the one with 6 civs which is why he maybe be complaining. I think that maybe that island should have been made bigger then the rest because of the extra civ or at least put some islands around them to help them out. In anycase I think a change of stratigy should be considered. Drop what you wanted to do and just expand before your neighbors get their first. Just my thoughts.Comment

Good or Bad is not your judgement to make. Success or Failure is a different issue and decided by the test of time. My tactics, as interpreted by you, are not open to criticism unless they fail. Just because I am a newbie to MP Civ IV does not mean that I have not played many MP games of a similar genre. Having a preference for core Cities that will be big does not imply tactical or strategic weakness just my preferred method of play.
In SP Civ IV, when I used to play it, I followed the same route whenever possible. On a tiny map that option is not open to you but then war is your only aim - go for Slavery and kill anyone you can see - but not in a game such as this. I know full well who my closest neighbour is and he will be tough to beat if I allow him to choke me. This is not 'whining' it is a matter of fact and therefore I have no option but to do all I can to prevent it happening. If it is a case of 'Choke or be Choked' then I have no option but to go for the former.“Quid latine dictum sit, altum videtur”
