MP Diplo,
unfortunately it's hard to get them organised and keep them running

[SlowwHand]

MP without question.
SP is a bore.

If more people were familiar with Tribe concept, it would easily be 1st place.

[drake]

I'm sure I'd like tribes, but it's hard to get a reliable crew together, as I've found

I doubt I'd find it more enjoyable then a well played diplo game.........guess I should find out one of these days if I can......

This is an mp forum...doubt we'll get many sp votes.....

[fittstim]

Just being a wise***. Somebody had to vote for SP...

But seriously, the last time I played MP, I know that massive cheating occurred and it sort of soiled me to the notion.

[SlowwHand]

You're running with the wrong crowd.
They made MP for a reason; it kicks SP butt.

And Drake, once you get first one or two it gets easier.

[Ming]

I've played Civ SP too long, and was totally bored with it. Yeah, the challanges brought new interest back... OCC, No cities, No whatever... but, in all of them, you are playing a stupid AI.

MP is the ultimate challange. Nothing beats the challange of playing somebody with a real brain

And as far as cheating goes... I'm lucky. We have a large group of people that play on a regular basis. It would be a surprise to anybody if somebody was cheating. I know when somebody gets knocked out of the game, they aren't doing it to peak at the map. I know nobody will take ten minutes on their first turn so they can download the map on another computer... We all support the same set of "bugs"... incremental building is allowed... no air bases for cheat purposes... no teleportation caravans... etc... While everybody has their own opinion of what rules are their favorites... we have a standard set that we have all agreed to so that there isn't a large and LONG discussion before the start of every game. Yeah, I'm very lucky!

Keep on civin'

[Rasputin]

yes, exactly ming , i think that is crucial for MP games , knowing your regulars are good people who are there for the fun and challenge , not to find new ways of cheating to win.. as you say as long as all play by same agreed rules MP Rocks..


EDIT: its good to see ming posting to one of my threads without me getting a PCR ....

[Hydey]

I had stopped playing civ 2 until I discovered Apolyton and Multiplaying.

[War4ever]

MP games by far rock...... not 100% which are best but any mp game with good players is all i want..... avec what everyone else stated already

[The Capo]

Diplogames...

I like Diplogames the most, as I'm sure everyone is aware.

Speaking of which, anyone else here wanna substitute for the Mali permenantly in HOTW.

Hey Ming... how are you doing?



Peace.

[Alexander's Horse]

Real brain?

Ming, i must openly disagree with you

thinking that you "know" somebody online is a bad idea. One of the founding members of the "Loyal and Honorable" Sayen Tribe in gameleague, was caught cheating during a tribe game. His name was Darkstorm.

We all thought we knew him, we were wrong. I'm not saying that there are alot of "closet" cheaters here, but the fact that you really don't know anybody here....

[SlowwHand]

I don't think Dark Storm represented the normal.

With Eyes, you know the possibility exists.
With Berzerker, you know it doesn't.


One pretty much knows who they're dealing with after some time.

[Chris 62]

I voted for tribe, but like some of you alluded to, I like playing the game with people I know and trust.

Haven't got the time or patience to deal with cheaters and kids.

Like MP, but don't really care about winning, haveing a good time is all that matters to me.

Good to see a Ras thread that doesn't talk about post count.
