Interesting how quiet Makeo and finbar are.

I think their conscience has got the better of them...

I don't know about Makeo, but I said all I had to say in KC last night. I disagree with you. Nothing to add.

Hardly - you go down whether I have makeo's city or not

Would you like to see me do it? Please say yes - I consider taking your capital and destroying your spaceship one of those "great moments in civ"

Its more fun without makeo's city actually because I get to kill a few units - since you had NONE and he actually has a couple

Isn't this your weak strategy shining through? You can't even see how I do it?

.............

Yes, please show me how you manage to pass Makeo's captured city without him ceding it to you (or using a guiding unit).
BTW I saw him fill dei Brook with many units on his turn.

This pic is the Horse border with me before his attack. I have the save at this precise point.

So you agree that ceding cities and units in non-alliance games is OK...
Ok fine, got you on record here - good.

Duh! I just roll straight over him - destroy his city. Its easy

You needed me to point that out? You really are slipping

And why do you keep banging on about alliances and this being a non alliance game? Firstly, makeo and I don't have an alliance. Which part of this statement don't you understand?

Secondly, who said this was a non-alliance game?

Come to think of it, makeo and I probably should form an alliance now since we're both beating the crap out of you

[Skanky Burns]

For the record.

[Alexander's Horse]

What I'd like to know is how he avoided civil war

If you do it with the save he's left with 3 cities and a tugboat

Count your blessings D, count your blessings

I would have had no complaints if you had attacked Makeo's city and then pushed through. So why cede the city?

Makeo obviously thought it was a no alliance game because he revolted to attack me. We all definitely agreed on no alliance, no city bribe, no unit bribe; but with tech trading allowed.

I had no problems with your trade bloc with finbar and map trading is fine.

Don't you understand what no alliance means?

Horsie, you are not very smart strategy wise and Makeo has no need to attack me now. Go figure. Who's bulding the only other SS?

Have you ever seen the loser video in MP? LOL

You are about to....

I think empire splitting is only an AI phenomenon.

Does it happen in MP? If so I guess it's a roll of the dice based on civ strength obviously...

Well played game by Makeo

[deity]

deity's turn part way through...

I've captured several home cities and taken three of Horse's homeland cities already. His cities so far seem to only have one defender in them so on that basis I have enough firepower to take out the crossed cities in my homeland plus make significant in-roads in the shaded area...

It's not over yet.

It's 1837 and Makeo's SS lands in 1847.

Fully explained above. He is at war with you. It was in his interest.

Makeo obviously thought it was a no alliance game because he revolted to attack me.

No he didn't. He was in democracy. He had to revolt to attack you. (Duh)

We all definitely agreed on no alliance, no city bribe, no unit bribe; but with tech trading allowed.

No we didn't. Is this the best you can do? Repeat the big lie over and over? Anyway, makeo and I are not allied, so what is your point?

I had no problems with your trade bloc with finbar and map trading is fine.

What trade bloc? I trade with noone, finbar trades with whoever he likes. Is this your galloping paranoia again?

Don't you understand what no alliance means?

Yes I do but this is not a no alliance game and there are no alliances anyway so what is your point? We play no alliance when there are 3 players and that is declared at the start of play. In this game there are 4 players. I'm thinking about forming an alliance now as it happens. Want to ally with me? You need all the friends you can get

Horsie, you are not very smart strategy wise and Makeo has no need to attack me now. Go figure. Who's bulding the only other SS?

I'd rather see him win than you because the only reason you could build a spaceship was those 15 techs you stole off me. Smashing you was smart strategy and achieved all my objectives. In fact the main reason you're throwing a tanty is you've been outfoxed

Have you ever seen the loser video in MP? LOL

You are about to....

Oh yeah - lots of times - but I feel like I've already won by smashing you and paying you back for all your anti-social behaviour during the game

[deity]

I think Horsie has a 'thing' for me. Don't you reckon duckie?!
His total pre-occupation is deity smeity; he's not worried about trying to win the game!! Thus it's personal... I'm sure everyone realises this now.

Makeo will confirm the no alliance thing because you don't have to revolt to declare war in a Democracy IF you get your ally to ask you to declare war.. DUH!

AH really knows very little about this game. HUH?

Don't flatter yourself. I saw an opportunity and took it. I would have done the same to makeo.

My main objective was to stop your spaceship landing in 1840. That was fully achieved. The problem I have is your civ should have gone into civil war and didn't.

Makeo will confirm the no alliance thing because you don't have to revolt to declare war in a Democracy IF you get your ally to ask you to declare war.. DUH!

What are you talking about? He doesn't have an ally - how many times do I have to say it?

AH really knows very little about this game. HUH?

Yes, hardly anything

But between crapping on your throne and pissing on your Axminster I took some time to study in the library in your capital whilst I was there so maybe I'll do better next time

[deity]

OK Horsie.. my SS is down for the moment but Makeo's is still up there... Are we focussing on the GAME now and trying to win?

Or is that little lap dog still crapping on the lawn?

I really will have to put it down you know.
