/me is

I like playing in our saturday morning diplo, but for duels I think its too unbalanced.
But thats just my €0.02

i never understood why people call 1x1x deity games boring and too slow. a turn in 1x1x deity has an average of 5 seconds before 2000bc and an average of 30-60 seconds the whole game after.

a king 2x2x game takes however 2 minutes average before 2500bc and 5 or more minutes after 2500bc.

What is more boring?

Different strokes for different folks.

[War4ever]

i guess it depends on how much time you have to play....and how far you want to go...and whether or not the games will continue

[Ming]

Those are all key factors that help determine the type of settings.

In 2x2x king I am doing something every turn and (re)thinking strats and micro'ing on my offturn.

In 1x1x deity, you have to press enter too many times for somehing to happen.

Btw, who are you playing in 2x2x king for turns to take so long

Take care.

True enough (one reason why I'm not a big fan of it)

But still... it's all relative. Once the game has progressed, which doesn't take all that long since everybody is hitting enter... it starts to speed up.

I just don't like it because the group I play with usually plays one night stands... Hitting the enter key for half the evening isn't my idea of fun

I just think hut luck and land luck is more critical in 1x1x games. 2x production lessens it a little. An early settler, city or non-chariot in 1x is hard to make up for unless you get the same. A river basin can be key in 1x. In 2x you can make do without it.

[War4ever]

we have been down this arguement before, in x1 it may be harder to settle that nomad etc, b/c the land isn't as nice...in x2 you can drop that puppy anywhere....

[rah]

I don't care if it's harder, you still have it and it's more of an advantage than in 2x.

It's never more than 2 spaces from a special, and any special will do at that point.

[War4ever]

actually i still disagree...x2 doubles the bonus

[rah]

still doesn't wash. making a settler in 1x taking 8 turns vs 4 turns in 2x, means I only got 4 free turns of production with that nomad vs 8 in 1x. The relative output from a free city doesn't alter that equation.

[War4ever]

I disagree, mainly due to land...the other factor is x2 production with a 50% greater base rate , is more valuable than 1x production at the same base...

plus i think the ability to put out twice as many units to explore more than pays off in the x2 arena..

i just think your bonuses compound better in x2 than they would in x1 ? unless i am mistaken ?????
