Hmm, I think I fall into that catergory of playing millions of games.

Got beaten by Deity in his first game. Three players. Two against me. Fun Game.

Played in Smartfarts first game. with Matthew. Killed most of Smartfarts civ and was warring with Matt. Good Game......and I just found a link

Played lots of duels against Smartfart, Matt, Geronimo, Arii. Probably lost as many as I won. Fun Games.

Duelled Deity. Excellent game. War game with cannons and riflemen. Won that one.

Can only remember one game with Xin Yu and Ming. Lost that one.

Remember one game with Rah, Killed him, with crusaders.

Arena games with Arii, Smartfart, Matt. Arii used to strategize better than me. Annoying. Good games.

Game with AH and Hydey. I sucked. Was losing very badly. Quit my civ and came back as an ai. (Old days that was ok.. Pissed hydey off by bribing a barb city that the barbs captured off him. Finished the game duelling Horse. One of the best games i've been in. Good tactics used. Over 150 casualties on both sides. I'm claiming victory horse.

Duels against AH. Pretty even. Good games. Lots of war.

Lots of games against Markus. Usually resulting in a loss to me. But not always.


Tourney game with hydey deity and markus. Only reason markus didn't win was because we all ganged up on him.



I've played a million games. Can't remember half of them. Will have to add to this post when I remember them. Or are reminded of them by the victor.



I knew I'd remember other games. I remember one with Arii, Matt and Khanman. I attacked Khanman with cannons and he cracked it and quit. haha.

Actually an extremely interesting post Makeo.

A few more like that and I'll be game to re-post here

edit...

My first MP game and lucky for me I met Makeo and learnt sh!tloads in this one. Kingar was the other player. I miss him. He was a peace monger

Unlike Makleo who is a total and utter war monger!
In this 2x1x game Makeo waited till he was building a spaceship. Then after launch he attacked Kingar and me simultaneously. I was way behind but in that session I had been building up a huge army of Howies and Armour. Without an ally Makeo had to revolt to attack so he was in Anarchy for the duration of one turn only with the Statue. When he attacked with a few boatloads of howies and took three or so of my cities my partisans that jumped out were huge in number, filling every square. So I guess this slowed his whole attack. My main attach (defence) force was stationed far back in my civ and I had lots of spies. So in my turn I was able to completely turn the tide with city bribe, which was OK then.

Brilliant game in August 1999 and I've been addicted ever since!

My favorite game with makeo was the custom world map "diplo game" in which we had a huge industrial era war with cavalry, me inhabiting china, makeo india, with cannonfodder in africa (who must have been whoever deity says they were since they promptly disappeared after the game), deity in aussieland, and hydey in europe, brez in SA, and the wildcard in NA, who was winzity most of the time.

Well anyway.....wild card attacked near defenseless but #1 cannonfodder. Cannonfodder attacks the non-agressive allies of the wildcard, berz. Deity and I declare war to protect him as an ally. Makeo declares war on me, and rapes 2 of my cities, including my capital. Deity invades India and owns serveral of his cities. Europe and Africa join in aginast Deity and I. Whole world at war. Makeo withdraws his forces from my land to fight deity, but gets stuck on one of my many forts and loses alot of troops, so he didn't have enough cavalry to drive him out of his beachhead. Meanwhile Deity was owning Cannonfodder's navy out in the indian ocean, with dreadnoughts, and I prepared my counter invasion force of 10 storm troopers and 5 cavalry to reclaim my territory and own the rest of India. Then the other side gave up en mass. so boring...they still controled most of the world and SA was still in foreign hands.....could have been an interesting game still.

I'm not going to boast (yes, yes, nothing to boast about - ho ho ho) just talk about some of the people I play with and some favorite games.

I mainly play with deity finbar hydey and makeo. We have several games saved so whatever combo of players show up on the night, we play that save. This is basically how we can continue to play 1x1x and cope when players disappear for long periods.

Deity - very good player, perfectionist, micro manager, bit of a procrastinator. I hate being his neighbour because he plays mind games on your borders and is really bad on the icq, KC ettiquette - doesn't reply to messages, cuts you off, won't trade, won't give maps, is only nice when he wants something. But he's very good to have in a game. One thing to watch with deity is he's always plotting so if he's not talking to you he's sure to be talking to others and trying to start trouble, usually by getting others to do his dirty work so he can maintain his "spotless" rep. Never had a decent war with him, mainly because he disappears for long periods and most games involving him never finish.

Makeo - also a driven player with high skills but a lot less complicated than deity. He's been my main sparring partner where warfare is concerned. I seem to be able to read his strats pretty well and anticipate his moves - but that doesn't make it easy to stop him because he will throw everything at you. He'll literally strip his whole civ of every improvement and spend every resource to win a war. He's also a very good civ builder in peacetime. Cagey like Deity on trading techs and maps but someone you can do business with. Trustworthy up to a point. No conversationalist on the icq.

finbar - also very good skills and my favorite neighbour. Does not like war. Builds strong civs but also trades freely and happy to chat, which makes the game more fun. No mind games or b*ll****. A good ally in war, particularly in a supporting role. Has shown signs of increased aggression recently when provoked. Usually does not get embroiled in wars because everyone respects his neutrality and peaceful endeavour. Excellent trading partner, which is useful to have when fighting.

Hydey - bit of a mystery really. He says he does his business administration whilst playing, which probably explains why his civs just putter along. Could probably play a lot better but in most games is left to his own devices, running a sort of hermit kingdom where things may be happening or maybe not. Sometimes doesn't build anything, sometimes does. Will trade, will ally. Good person to deal with, trustworthy. Tends to get left alone but is also a good person to chat to about the game on icq. Can be annoyingly hard to contact though - probably because he isn't in the room when its not his turn.

Favorite games:

The big Aussie was not my favorite because the map was way too big, had way too much water, and therefore the game was way too slow. That was my fault because I built the ill fated map. The current 4 player (deity, finbar horse makeo) is a lot better.

Makeo/Horse showdown. Strangest game I ever played with several people playing including makeo's mum, makeo changing civs, hydey dropping out and giving me all his cities and then makeo and horse sluggin it out. I will concede that one to you makeo - but I would like to play it again some time from the point where Hydey dropped out. That game was a hoot.

Can't think of any others that really stand out - maybe that game where I attacked finbar.............

LOL!

Besides calling me an untrustworthy, non-communicative and complicated pile of devious sh!t, it's a very interesting post Horsie

With all those paragraphs, the odds were he'd have to get something right.

A typical diplo exchange with Deity:

Send emmisary.

Long delay, may cut you off without opening, may open.

Ask for terrains maps.

Long delay.

Cuts you off.

icq message: "not yet"

Yes, this was a brilliant game and I do wish it had continued

Small Earth map, interesting extra units, close proximities, great players, everything was right...

All this has purpose Horsie

[deity]

Mind you, there were a few times when you contacted me during my build cycle!
Instant dismissal!

[Hydey]

Horse usually contacts me when his secret ally in a non alliance game is moving units to attack me.

What? To make people unlikely to come to your assistance when you are attacked?
