I Give Up!!!

Nope i built units in all costal cities and several horses to explore

[GNGSpam]

I can get 8 or 9 cities by 2400 BC also, so your telling me you do it by relying on hut luck?

[markusf]

no, i am saying if you want 20 cities you'd better rely on hut luck at on 1x 1x diety

"Hut luck" LOL!

"Rules.txt luck" more like it

What A.H. said, I tend to agree.

Well Cave, the first game I subbed, my capitol had only coal and I dont know about Jes. In the 2nd one Markus had buff and fish and Eyes had peat and buff allowing him to build a settler in 4 turns. I had to walk to find a special and it was gold but without very good food nearby. Markus did even better the first game as he said. But the difference in terrain is not really the issue, but their tactics as opposed to ours - they are just on a higher level... When i practiced using their positions I did much better but still far below their performances.

Don't tell me this really bothers you

[SlowwHand]

I think it's a question of ethics that is the concern.
For me it is.

"rules.txt"

Granted there are a few people that probably deserve abuse when it comes to modifying things to their advantage, I was unaware that markusf
qualified as one of those people.

There have never been any mysteries when I have been in games with him. I even checked saves after playing him to get an idea how he was so successful.

So unless you have some proof, please keep those thoughts to yourself.

I modify the rules.txt for my diplogames (oracle lasts forever) but thats about it.
Since i never build more then 20-30 cities not modifying the rules.txt is to my advantage. I can't even think of what would be to my advantage to modify? If you think about it its pretty easy to get that many cities. Every bit of cash you get rush buy parts of a settlar, I changed to republic at 2850bc each game, and thats called co-ordination of techs with your partner.... 80% science 20% tax, with no cities over size 3 gives you 0 rebelion and $40 each turn to rush buy settlars.. that is a HUGE improvement of what you could ever hope to get from monarchy, and thats why monarchy players are never ever going to come close to winning a team game on a even map. We had dem and theology at 2000 bc with 1 turn a tech each. my cap did 140 science at size 8

What level and what barb activity was involved? I'm surprised that you could even contact another civ on an island world fast enough to coordinate techs to get to republic by 2850. Pretty damn impressive if you ask me.

It was a team island game. That means 1 team is on one island, and the other is on another island. Cavebear premade it for us shortly before we played. King, Villages only, 2x2x, No AI. 22 cities by 2000BC is average. I usually average myself around 26-30. With a good hut start you can go 30+ with ease. HG around 2400BC helps. hehehe

Sean is an identified cheat. My comment was directed at his rep. If Markusf plays with Eyes he can't escape the collateral damage.
