hehe...if your not being harassed the warrior defence is grand......

if you get caught....well serves you right....just don't get caught

[Alexander's Horse]

He nearly did get caught - but the map suited his strat rather than mine. It was one of those worlds where there is a big continent split into 2 with a very narrow isthmus between. He went for the growth strat. I went for the stay in monarchy and overrun him strat. My troops got bottled on the isthmus - which of course I didn't know about. I changed to growth then but it was too late - game over for horsie - his tech lead was too great

I've wondered since what would have happened if I'd just kept in monarchy and swamped troops across the narrows...............

You where such an easy target i had to find the most humiliating ways of killing you

Here is the final save after AH begged for surrender.

ROTFLMAO

I am pleased to provide a Visual Record of AH's Skills

[Alexander's Horse]

Well that's not what you said at the time - you couldn't have got across that isthmus any more than I could and since I hadn't concentrated on naval techs I was a sitting duck. Game over.

I'm not embarassed about it. I gambled. I lost.

[War4ever]

did you lose more boats than any other unit

[Ming]

Yeah... looks like a slaughter to me.

markusf... do you have the power graph, just so we can laugh some more at AH's excellent civ skills

Well if you look at it I lost a lot of boats. The rest were bombardment losses in coastal cities.

You'd have to look at the map to appreciate the situation. It was perfect for his growth strat because I couldn't get at him by land. So I ended up with a big army milling around uselessly. Then I conceded the game.

growth strat? You don't know what your talking about LOLOL. I never even came close to using that, if i had i would destroyed you before 2000 bc.

AH's arguement is BS, as you can see i started in one of the most horrible spots imaginable. I was going to surrender but i figured i would never hear the end of that. AH had 5 cities before i even had my second city built. anyways AH had a massive lead on the pg for most of the game, but once i got a semi decent civ together it went downhill for him rather fast. I sunk all his ships, crushed his defences then landed troops and destroyed his roads so he couldn't steal tech, thats when he begged me to make the pain stop. And the really funny thing is i lost more units to barbs then i did to AH. Its as if all his units commited sucide when they saw me coming. Honestly the newbies at the zone gave me more of a challange

[Alexander's Horse]

Yes you're right Markusf. I'm a crap player.

And I'm sure you'll have no trouble disposing of me in any future games

Now that's an insult. If I wasn't laughing so hard, I might have to ban you for making personal insults

[Alexander's Horse]

I'm getting bashed here, I'm bashing MTG on the OT, Ming is bashing Floyd at Counterglow.

Looks like another happy day online.
