Greetings all;
This message is intended for Atawa mostly, though also for those others who might need some clarification on the issue in order to leave the issue be upon reading this, and it concerns the game conditions that you have mentioned.
I know it may seem to you, young chap, that those first game settings were of my own construct but it is not so; you have read (I hope, since it would be slightly foolish for someone to post in a thread whose ACTUAL meaning has somehow elluded them) what kind of games I play, on what maps and rules, which I would hope you would download and peek to see my prefferred style of play, and unless memory betrays me you were the one to challenge me to a game on a random medium map on that fateful day, and unless you are so unlogical that this argument may as well go unsaid, I should think that all the other settings such as temperate and 3 bil. years and even choosing emperor and raging barbs (would you have them any less) were merely obvious necessities to generate a map of your choosing with quickest ease and minimum conferencing on what should be a simple task. I actually feel tricked, though more like someone that sees the covered-up hole in the ground and merely steps beside it, since in all but the most scrupulous details I entered your proposal, not the other way around.
Now, as for the next game you propose, you may choose that as well, even (though if there is a third I should let you know my feelings) but I will not under any circumstance play on 2x2x settings; I have played it but once years ago and, not loosing or anything too demanding of excuses, became disgusted by the level of corruption it wielded upon the game and have never touched it since. It is the equivalent of 'godmode' for Doom, or the all-weapons cheat for Grand Theft Auto, since like them it spoils the finer elements of a game that was intended to be harder and more precise, even though double production and such does not grant omnipotence. A catapult that can siege a city as if a howitzer, and a howitzer that can do the same as if a slow helicopter are things I hace tried to avoid in all my years of playing. I think maybe it can add diversity, but overall it is not worth it.
Otherwise I dont have any critique I can think to mention, but I will refer to your proposal for the second bout and let you know any further opinions I might have. Enlightning, I know.
As for the rest of you, I can only say that I hope, as I before have stated in other, more direct, manners that you will stop this driveling bickering amongst yourselves, for the honor of well-spoken strategists everywhere who choose to debate and not argue, since it is by no means and no longer of importance to me, event though I read them all first to check for any validity.
I am clearly disapointed with last game's results, of course, but my horse is a precious thing and will kneel to the ground if he feels I have been dismounted and we soon thereafter ride again.
