One guy changed his name whilst I was chatting to him

that i don't know..but i would suspect that its b/c they get caught cheating......

other theory is once you lose with your username, you must be reborn with a differnt or slight variation of what you were previously using....

or of course their is the forgotten password thingy

Yeah - that is why the zone is only good for a quick and dirty game.

This guy I played was an ICSer and when he saw my massed dumbos, cav and chariots breaking through and heading for his cities he suddenly found he had other things to do. He just lost a few units and that was it.

i dont' understand people who quit when they lose one city or a couple of armies.....

no wonder civs fall in the real world...first sign of adversity they lay down.....

just ask the French

I enjoy playing with DD, Hawkhunter, Barbarian, Starwars.....and gee it would be easier to say the ones I don't like playing with........lol.........

[Alexander's Horse]

Ya well he lost one city and a few units and that was it.

I scratched my head until I checked the save and found his cities were pretty much undefended.

[War4ever]

i still dont understand the leaving ciiteis undefended strategy....oh right..its king level

do that in our games or on deity level and your toast

[rah]

Yes it's a mystery. Some leave there cities undefended then complain about their bad luck when they lose a few cities to other players or barbs. Then procede to say,
"sorry I have to go, my girlfriend's cat just got stuck in the dashboard of my car and we have to rush to the mechanic's emergency room, thank's for the game. Too bad it couldn't go longer, in ten turns you would have been toast, another win for me"

Now you know he's not old enough to drive, wouldn't know what to do with a naked girl, and probably would be eliminated in ten turns.

BUT IT WAS ALL ABOUT LUCK

Yeah you can toast an ICS player if you can locate them quickly.

[War4ever]

you can toast anyone if you locate them quickly.....ics doesn't mean no defence....

its means minimal defence lol

[Alexander's Horse]

Played another zonie ICSer tonight - at the end he Kced - "how did you produce so many units with so few cities?"

"well gee son - producing something other than settlers helps...."

Define "minimal"

I subbed in a game a few weeks ago when somebody had to leave... (typical rah rules)... the guy had 5 or 6 cities... and maybe 8 units... with five of them being caravans. One ship... One archer... one diplo or warrior... and the Archer was exploring.
(maybe not totally acurate, I had a few beers, but close enough for this discussion)

In my books... that's NO DEFENSE!

I played someone called Kolumbusus last night - quite good.'

Kol is a guy from zone, quite good at his mon/feud/chiv frontal assault.

People I enjoy playing with most are (in random order):

Strate, the german brothers: Martin and Micha, Bravelaker when he was around, Jamie (jhorsburgh), Arii, Jacksmak, Bud, Fell.......well basicly anyone that doesnt quit becouse you beat them to a wonder or outgrow them and can put up a good challenge

and :b

And my favorite is, "yes i only had three units defending 8 cities, but with all the strategic roads I layed down, they could be quickly moved to protect the empire." As eyes is capturing cities with explorers.

Getting off topic slightly but remembering how this upset RAH last time:

In last nights game I got an 'advanced capitol' again
