Techs 3 and 6

I dont' know if it got him back on the path... but it sure put me on the path toward DEVELOPING UNITS THAT COULD KILL CATS

[rah]

Yeah, I knew he was going down that path, but even though he was on the other side of the world, I prepped like he was next to me.
He had some fun with Barono too.

my first hut in the game, right beside my start , masonry...gr......

nothing got me on the path...but when math was avail and i had already met you...figured you were waaaaaaays away....i had to tip my hand, otherwise you can bet boatloads of cats were coming your way...

the best thing about cats on that map, was it allowed me to encroach your territory and you coudlnt' sneak up b/c of all the rough terrain....

i was coming to take Earth..but forgot i didn't have construction, so i went for kiev instead, and choose trade as my tech when i took the city

i had set up three cities on differnt continents for the trading strat to catch up...alas...out went the lights....

Earth might have been a little harder... two vet Chariots and some vet archers. It wasn't as undefended as the two new cities of mine that you destroyed

[rah]

yeah, but they don't help as much when you can do the instafort on the river. Unless you can protect access to river basins.

[Ming]

Yeah... but he didn't have constuction yet, but I did

[rah]

And that's why he didn't attack Earth.

[War4ever]

and kiev should never have allowed me to march up, i had to stay in his radius and avoid mings..couldn't do both.....

but barono only had defensive units in their, and we know what vet pults do to things on forests

[Ming]

Yeah... after the first cat sighting, Offensive units became my highest priority. And when "somebody" beat me to Sun's... I built barracks to have vet attackers. When you "left" the game... I was ready to crank the settler out that was going to build the fortress on the river outside of Earth... and I was working on math as well

I was building a wonder and deciding which one to build since most of them were still avail. I was away from most of the action, but War influenced me, and I built it so no one else could.

truer words were never spoken, hes was deciding between oracle and suns.....

in my position it was a no brainer.....

[rah]

GW was part of the discussion also, since you figured Baron O might build it.

And he's right. I didn't need much arm twisting.

[Ming]

That's one of the problems with you guys using ICQ phone... while we don't allow alliances, you guys were working together... Yeah, Yeah, Yeah... I know you can say King Chat allows anybody to do that, but you know it's not the same

[rah]

There's a little of that naturally, but I disagree on this one. I knew what I was going to build, but I was listening to his recommendations to see how much I could learn about what was going on over on that side of the world. I knew he was a short ocean ride from me, and as soon as he said he was sending out cats, I started to prepare for a possible landing behind me. I may talk to him, but I have too much respect of his abilities and gamesmanship to totally trust him

RAH
and if I remember correctly, you where ICQ phone chatting with Baron O.

[War4ever]

rah was IMO too far away from me...i had you and barono encroaching ...so i naturally struck at whom i could get my cats too quickly while i had the advantage.

rah never takes his defences lightly with me, you never know, i might claim peace then attack
