By the way, for the ship chaining you can just press 'U' when the new ship is selected and the units will board it.

Obviously... the "master" had no clue about this short cut...

His knowledge of the game is sooooooooo deep

I'm the Greatest Strategy

As I've mentioned before I've played MP only once.
In the MP forum I'm learning everyday new strategies and how to improve my Civ II knowledge.
Thanks everybody for sharing ship chains, use of barracks, the "End Turn Button" trick and many others (Smartfart, the "BarbarianBoss" trick works!!! even in SP!!! WOW!!!).
Above all thanks to the people teaching me the "I'm the Greatest Player" strategy.
For what I've understood it works this way: playing duel with other people:
1a) if you win - well you're the Greatest
1b) if you loose - well retire saying that you are annoyed and you will win in few turns but the other duellist is slow and you have a life! - and you are the Greatest because you know that you will crush the other in few turns

Am I missing anything in this strat?

The MP forum is the Greatest!!!

Yeah this one can really begin to save time when you move onto caravels etc with 3 units onboard. Must be another reason to explain the slow turns.

Nope, you catch on pretty quick

Thanks, never knew that. I've wasted some time screwing around with that in the past. Is the U for unload and when you select a new ship they will automatically load?

Some things never change. What was the name of that movie? "Groundhog Day", yep that's it.

[rah]

Bird, long time no see.
Ever get you machine fixed to play?
There's always a spot open for you.

yeah.....hi bird...been way too long since we have crossed swords

[Bird]

Hi guys. I still don't have the game installed, but that's my fault rather than any tech issues that I'm aware of. I had tech problems in early December, then didn't have time to play during the holidays, and then lost all free time for the first two months of the year because of work. By then I got out of the habit of playing I guess. Reading these threads will prompt me to reinstall, although summers are more hit and miss. I'm looking forward to it.

I still owe War a nuke.
And I just owe rah in general.

Bird that was along time ago........back when i was a youngster...now that i am 30 , i am more mature and would never nuke you again

[Bird]

The only reason you wouldn't nuke someone is because the games don't last until the modern age. Something about leopards and spots...........

[War4ever]

MOI???? while there is a grain of truth to that statement.....i don't see how not playing with nukes , if we get there again is fair.....you can plant nukes with spies and spies do more damage throughout the game than nukes do....spies are the scourge....and howies..well don't get me started

Yeah you select the ship you want them to load on to, press U then select that ship again. Works a treat especially if you're dealing with loaded transports or galleons...

You try a serious strategy discussion with you people and falls by the way side.
slowwhand was witness to one of the greatest ship chains ever created. If he studied the saves, and attempted to learn how to play, maybe he wouldnt be the same old really bad player he always has been.
Atawa, you attack me here, yet I believe that you have learned alot from playing me and playing with me.
If you are just flaming me to create some advisarial reaction in our upcoming game, thats cool.
But if you cant admit that I have taught you somethings about civ you did not know, then I will feel, in a way, betrayed.
As for the rest of you, you say you know all this, but sad to say, I never see it being done. (and I have had many saves from YOUR games sent to me via ICQ by one of your own, who is a friend of mine and I will not name here)

[War4ever]

lol strat....depending on the settings and land....many of us use your strats ..... zzzzzzzz its on a game by game basis........
