I won't even begin to address the vast number of assumptions in that last post

Pervert.

anyone going to early warfare in civ is going to fall behind those whom do not.....unless he is taking their cities....

war costs even more on larger maps where your just tossing sets out...its another reason why we play raging....keeps players honest...

[rah]

Yeah, early war on large maps will cost you more. And the time involved makes it worse. By the time the forces can reach their target, they may already be obsolete. One reason I like small maps, we don't have to play 2x movement to encourage wars.

[War4ever]

yup.. early warfare with any unit is possible on a small map.....though its not much fun to knock someone out in the first 500 years

[rah]

Yep, then they just want to start again, and you know you'll get a crappier start.

[War4ever]

i don't even like picking someones second set off any more.......

i would rather play and just take cites with cats/cannons...

or crusaders....

at least have some fun for the investment of time

[rah]

Yeah, in one game I got a nomad from my second hut, but delayed building a city with it till the top 5 citieswas filled so no one would see I got it and start whining about a restart.

[War4ever]

smart tactic...in the old days we would have plopped it down and just gloated..

times have changed with peeps just exiting games out of the blue and with suspect connections and continuously poor land

[rah]

I got a free city early the other day before 5 cities were down and the whining was unbelievable.

[War4ever]

this surprises you

[rah]

The sad part is you're right, it did not.

[War4ever]

OUR games have become a large whining session....especially since you bailed on that one game.....

[rah]

I am not the worst offender by any means. And I really did need that nap. Or passing out if you prefer.

i am not insulted, but i am beginning to think war is the model for no limits
