Was it against the 'rules' as he found it necessary to erase evidence?

A little Knowledge can be a powerfull thing.

Yup like my extra large population from picking that titbit from mongoose.

Nope it wasn't against the rules. Just really unusal, which got me thinking.

Ok stop the madness please. I'm gonna find Kody among the error notes.

And to guess Geo's position ... You are 7 hours away from me. Yep. Must be it.

Its a standard opening, like king's pawn to king's pawn 4

No, Geomodder - if I'd built a unit, all the minerals would have been GONE. It would have taken another 4-5 turns to get enough minerals to fill a row so I could afford the rush-buy... and that's wasting turns.

Was quite a bout at the time as well, I gather?

Spying acquisations and so?

The ACDG was so dodgy, it just wasn't funny.

So I gather you exceeded even the number of minerals for a colony pod. Yes, then it makes sense, and saves quite some energy you can use for a future rec tanks. I'll try it out in my next SP game. Thanks.

Mainly used for Morgan, because Morgan can least afford to build units that chew up support.

With other factions I think you're better off building units to pod pop.

Far enough, I hope?

So, you're an Eastcoaster then? Good, you can entertain an acquintance of me then this summer when she's going to the Big Apple...

Certainly not anymore for CyCon ATM.
Talking about a retreat...

Honghu,

Hive turn just came in.

[GeoModder]

Don't worry, we behaved this time.

No problem. When industry exceeds growth its a very good plan (one of the reasons I hated Civ 3 was because of loosing 2 pops when you built a settler, and rushing in despotism costing pop too making expansion so grinding and dull...)

[GeoModder]

Yes, and it even works with a lucky pod pop (25-50 ec's at least two times) for any other faction with access to an early SP.

And I never got used to the 2 pops loose either in Civ3.

[Snowflake]

Urgh. Kody! Don't talk about Hive turns yet please will you?

And Geo, I was talking about time differences there. I used to be a easter coaster, not any more. Perhaps your lady acquintance would go so far as to the midwest?
