  • Wanted: Dedicated Civ Mentor

    My name is Robert, also known variously as RawB_Spartan, Spartan_RawB, and Spartan in Gameleague and Civ fanatics ladders. Over the past years, I've dedicated much of my time and effort into this game, often at great personal costs.

    I am a civ fanatic. I love the game, wish to learn more about it, and want to become an astute player.

    Over the past year, A-team has coached me somewhat, dropping me hints here and guiding me in the right direction. But these days, we hardly come across each other online, and thus, I am forced to find a new mentor.

    As for potential: I rose to rank #4 in Gameleague (though much of my victories came against new players) and am currently ranked #10 in Civ fanatics (and quickly rising).

    If you are an *honorable* player who has an in depth knowledge of the game and an astute standing here in Civ community, please contact me. My ICQ is 110939971 and email is robbie_farmboy@hotmail.com

    My particular areas of interest is the use of Republic - early and midgame use of the government. I am relatively proficient in early expansion and city building strategies.

    Don't look at me

    Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

    Look, I just don't anymore, okay?

                  Robert, looks like we are in the same boat. I'm looking for someone as well, being new to Civ II. Found an old copy at Walmart, picked it up.

                    Concerning Carnide's question: How much is the pay?

                    The pay is non-monetary: My unequivocable loyalty to my mentor and any contribution I can make to the mentor's game (I pick things up quick).

                    And also, bragging rights. If I go on to become the greatest Civ player who ever lived, my mentor will be able to thump his chest and say, "That's m' boy!"

                      If you're such a fast learner why do you need a mentor? For that matter, what makes you think there is anybody out there who can teach you everything there is to know? And even if there were that someone, you'd only be as good as what they tell you and nothing more. You might become a good player, but never the best. If you want to be the best, you have to come up with your own ideas and be the forerunner of new strategies.

                        Don't you think, though, that learning about the prevailing and known strategies will accelerate the learning curve? Simply put, I see little point in re-inventing the wheel.

                        Also, there are some in-game secrets that are best taught, and not likely to be easily discovered. To list some:

                        * Tracking down enemy civs by using city screen
                        * Exploring by using continent number information
                        * Oedo years
                        * Diplo-invisibility
                        * Trade disruption

                            You can win this game easily without using the little tricks. In the end it all comes down to skill. All there is to know about this game is contained in 1 save file of one of my games. The real skill lies in being able to recreate what a player does. How do you think I learned what I did? I was a rookie too at one point.

                              Why bother?

                              Just wait for Civ3 to come out and then you can start mastering that at the same time as the rest of us. I doubt many people will be playing civ2 by this time next year, so just keep on doing what you're doing you seem pretty good already, and then work on mastering the next game.
