I shall not feel Ill health, lose sleep or be concerned over a few "humourous~barbs" I have ever made toward anyone..after having read this post!


I am taken aback by the things we as adults take offense toward..such as a game with such diverse play quality and styles..(Albeit me b usin some inferior type americanish language...Heh Heh Heh....poor sentence structure..)and alas...I do like Mr. Horsey's style....


I believe..(and having no rights other than my God given right of having an opinion...)..If you be at War..then all bets are off..use spies..alliances..even veiled alliances/alegiances to get what you want..before backstabbing and abandoning that trust..

Ever hear ...

War is Hell?

Alas, the Aztecs bit the dust in this session, and the Persians followed them shortly afterwards into the dustbin of history. Railroads are allowing the Horse Force to move rapidly around the map but Ayatollah Horse is getting RSI. The Aztecs have adapted particularly quickly to Horslamic culture.

Isn't it funny how keen you are to play this game you are winning, ( have won) as no-one seems willing to play the games I do well in

Hydey, I'm happy to play in the games where you are winning, even if it means I get conquered. I just like to play. I find the game has interesting challenges no matter what your situation. I don't understand people who only want to play when they are winning.

Finbar and I started a simult game with 4 civs last night. Less civs seems to really crank up the barb activity.

Well, logically - if logic can be said to play a part in the software's habits - if you divide the number of available barbs by the number of available civs - the fewer the civs, the more barbs available to attack them.

It would be interesting to play on a revealed map to see whether the barbs are giving the AI civs the same bastard treatment we're getting. You've lost a city, I've come close a couple of times. I can only thank my lucky stars that my horsemen have constantly defeated barb horses and chariots perched on hills. In fact, I've never known it to happen so often. Barb units on hills are usually tough nuts to crack, even for vet horsemen.

Barbs = Leaders = $$$$$$ = 4 Hydey

barbs = Leaders = $$$$$$ for War4ever too

Flip side of this is :

barbs = carnage = Long night for War4ever too.....

I have always wondered if the most poorly defended or smallest civs are the ones first hounded and then continuously attacked throughout the game?

I find the barbs come alot less when i am cruising...... unless its all those kings i get that make life soooo much easier

Has anyone ever tested which civs face barbs the most or whom are attacked first more often? Can empirical evidence be used to figure this out or is it truly a random factor ??

I think its the opposite - barbs concentrate on the top civ, which is me.

I lost a city but I am getting heaps of cash, nearly 800 in the kitty in spite of liberal spending.

AH perhaps the top civs get the barb kings..... i have been in many games where the lower ranking civs get lots of barbs.... but few barb kings with them Any clue to this phenomenon ?
