Wonders are obsolete!

[DrFell]

Is small map king 2x2x large land continental ok?

[StrategicKingMi]

Dont forget, Mister Fell, I was a great 2 x 2 all 1 cont player in my day.
I doubt I will need much to dispatch Ming back to the realm of all talk and no go.

And Ming , I am tired of your degrading talk to one of the greatest players ever to slip the CD into a computer.
Thus, just to show you your place in the civ world, which is several levels below me. I am calling you out. Your settings in a 1 on 1 duel. Of course each indvidual game is meaningless thus I suggest a best or 3, all your settings.
I doubt you will have the grapefruits to back up your Strate bashing, which puzzels me since I made a legit challenge.
I thought that is what this forum is for anyways..............
Now back to the non-sense....Ming... start typing

We've got a few interesting games underway right now - two long-running diplos. They are 1x1x Deity level but we like trying out special rules and in these we have NO tech trading or stealing, NO alliances, NO gifting of anything and each civ ONLY has the ability to build ONE Wonder.

I think it's fun to try out new and interesting parameters and I keep playing NEW folks all the time. In addition our regular Aussie group has several long-running games underway - with a variety of settings and rules. I find King level and 2x production way to simple and tend to favour Deity 1x1x

This no longer is about who is an *******,

OR...

who can only play on what settings.


I think this is an honest, open challenge. On top of that, it concedes the "home court advantage" to Ming.


Ming, the way I see it, you can refuse the challenge but you can't criticize Strat for the challenge. He has offered you a best of three UNDER YOUR SETTINGS.

BTW - if Ming refuses I'm ready for you Strat.

Hed never play ming on the settings he perfers..

If he did we can make bets on his first "disconnection" / ask for restart!. I say 4000 bc

I am willing to place some hard earned Aussie $ on the frogman himself. Go Mingy Go

Typical Apolyton "In Crowd" mentality. If he is not part of your group, he cant possibly win. How pathetic.
Just because I play 2 x 2 king cause it offers the most fluent way to play and takes less time to get where your going, doesnt mean I cant play other ways.
Still missing is an acceptance by big mouth Strate bashing Ming.
Whats the matter, time to put up or shut up and you put your fingers between your legs and run for the hills?
Typical of Apolytoners when faced down by me, happens all the time....4 years and running now..

Back on topic



Since when does the challenge include your opponent not being able to build lighthouse?

Also I thought you restricted the number of city's you would build.

Btw do you think you stand any chance if I too go straight to navagation and beat you to it?

And with me building 100+ city's I'd think Mike and Bach might come in handy, after all mike is only 400 shields or 10 temples.

But yeah I'll take you up on that challenge, and would suggest ALL naval wonders being off limits or it might turn out just being a race for Magalans...

Not at all. The challenge is fair, as a couple of us have posted, and Ming should take it. That way he can keep strate bashing as you call it. Of course we would like to see Ming win, he is an Apolytoner after all. But I hope you play, and I hope it is a good competitive game.

The key is that each of my citys will have a different job.
1) Big citys will have 3 routes, a bank, a market and a temple +aquaduct and celebrate easy to 12 and produce monster income from routes.
2) Unit citys will be kept small with barracks to pump out vet units or ships.
3) Planned revolt citys will be a city that I home city units in untill all resources are used and since it will produce no trade, I dont care if it revolts.
4) settler citys do just that, they have a high food production and are kept small to produce settlers for infrastructure and new citys.
In all 4, happy wonders can be rendered uneeded with good placement and micromanagement.
Plus, to build thoose wonders , you need caravans. I can turn thoose caravans into routes that for 8, will pay 2000 gold.
2000 gold will buy 30 temples. And a caravan will be paid for by extra gold production in citys in about 10 turns.
Markets also are a monsterous advantagous project that most players dont build, I love them and now know how to use them for massive profit.

If he promises not to take a half hour a turn before 2500 it might be interesting... but I have no interest in playing a self centered "genius" who wants to waste my time while he micro manages during his turn. I have better things to do with my life then wait on him. I actually have a life... unlike him.

So I will continue to abuse him on his claiming he's number one on his silly settings, and the fact that we should all wait half an hour while he takes a turn early in the game. Because that's just rude.

*ding* *popcorns is ready and i have my choice of seats*

[DrSpike]

I think everyone would like to see this clash of the titans.

Strate a player of your stature can play quicker right? If you are able to then maybe Ming will play you.

Maybe he shouldn't make silly settings jokes after your any settings challenge, but come on, that much microing is ridiculous.
