WRong, fell, wrong. I had that game won, go look at the save. I quit because Common Terry violated the rules and built the great wall. it was a no bribe game, and no GW coincides with that. None of you guys had a route at the end of the game, I had done 30.

BS, I had at least 5, and that's only because I was behind in tech all game. I was flooding the Viking cap with caravans and probably getting much bigger payoffs than you ever were (as you were sending caravans to a monarchy and I was delivering demanded gold+silks). If the game had gone on a little longer no doubt I'd have had the lead (regardless of GW or not).

Nobody stopped my ship chain, there was only one viking ship I saw and I talked it into retreating. Nobody stopped my caravan routing.

Well, that's only commonterry and that other guy's fault. I was telling them to build ships, and was telling them to send those ships to stop you. I was even trying to GIVE them money so they could buy ships and units, but they wouldn't accept it. Not my fault they didn't listen to my advice or take my gifts.

If I knew the Great Wall was in play, I would have built it 10 turns before Terry ever could. I refuse to play under one set of rules and some one else play under another.

No one said GW wasn't allowed. Anyway you didn't build any wonders that game so I doubt you'd have gone for it anyway.

I had his capital on radar and narrowed down to one or two squares and accesable from the water. Only reason he built it was cause he could not stop it from being taken any other way.

Actually the reason I remember you quitting was because you had just lost all your units attacking a vet pikeman defended city on a hill. As far as I remember you never even got to his capital. And this is commonterry we are talking about

Yes, I'd like to see the saves also. If anyone else has them, (especially if we can get for every 3 or 4 turns leading up to the end) please post them. It could be entertaining.

Actually I play RTS games and I'm extremely good at them. Not as good as I am at TBS, but only maybe a level or 2 down. As for Markus playing 1x1x, he plays what he likes. He just played a 2x2x King 2 on 2 the other day with you, me, RobbieTiger...OH wait that game never got started because we had to keep restarting every time it got started. See with strategicdick you have to hvae everything perfect. Bad land, restart. Bad hut luck, restart. Get Lighthouse first? Restart! Discover trade first? Restart. Don't like the way the sun is shining on your monitor? Restart. The planets and the moon not aligned correctly? Restart. This is all in the name of fair play of course. And Markus is a better 2x2x player than you are strat. I've played both of you and Markus gives me the better challenge.

Ateam or whatever he calls himself today is a waste of time.

I play RTS, I am really really good at some, like the red alert series, but others like Age of empires i get my ass kicked. (haven't played enough i guess)
What I like about civ and 1x 1x vs RTS is you live longer and have time to plan attacks defences etc. Speaking of which, are there any good new RTS games worth checking out? I still think the best one out there is CC-TA Total Ahnihilation.

RTS, fun when I was younger and had better hand eye coordination. Getting old sucks. Stuck with turn based now.

So true rah... so true... sigh

It's no surprise that Eyes is good at RTS games. Being in prime condition, and being a competitive athlete on the tennis courts...
To be young again...

Just to chime in here:

What issue of the General Strat?

Civ the boardgame I find to be more on the lines of Diplomacy, just with trading cards. Civ the PC game was something along those lines, but if it would have followed the game SOOO closely than it would have sucked.

I've played plenty of RTS, but never liked them due to a personal preference, the time-loss thing that Markus was talking about and plenty of bad experiences at the zone.

Strat, if you are so good, (AND an Avalon Hill player to boot) why waste your time trying to convince us?

Why not play, THEN post your save games. That is by far the most convincing method.

Or do you like being ridiculed by the Muppet Mob?

[StrategicKingMi]

First off, if this was wrestling, I would be the heel. I like being the heel (bad guy) . I dont look for respect from this group, nor do I expect to get it dispite an unmatched record of civ creativity. Most of the time I just post here to see how much heel heat ( negative reaction) that I can generate. The more responses, the more my ego is fed. So the muppet boys, just keep it coming.
As far as the General, I destroyed thier "perfect" axis defense for The Rise and Decline of The Third Reich ,that was posted in (guessing here) August 84 with second edition rules. They published this, too thier credit, as it was not a positive reflection on thier play testing. Later, I play tested, and contributed to the creation of the 3rd Edition rules of that game, one of my absoloute favorite historical games.
And you are right, it was much like Diplomacy till they changed it. Diplomacy and Civ were exchanges militarily they had that in common. And yeah, with the resource cards it did seem like a card game, but that made it exciting I thought.
Flatlander, every play Civil War? That is a great game. The turns ending randomly like that really added tension and gambling to the game, weather or not the south conserves its resources for a long turn, or expends them for an all out attempt to at least interfere in the Norths plans, really cool game.
By the by, I am a advent collector of old , unobtainable games, including many Avalon Hill games (older versions no longer in print) and games from the 50's, seriously now, if you have any of these, let me know if you are a seller and the condition they are in. ( my pride and joy is a mint copy, unopened wooden version of Risk that is over 40 years old along with a T.V. Gambit game featuring shows from the first 25 years of T.V. published in 1952.)
