Why Bother With AI's

[Flatlander Fox]

pretty lucky

I wholeheartedly agree.

i can tip my hat to skill, so far i haven't seen any from you Mr. Fox

And this says WHAT about your skills when you've lost to me?


Anyway, looking forward to kicking your ass again this weekend!

but then again, no one can win all the time unless your EON

You lost twice to AI?

Oh and nobody wins all the time

The next person to yell peace and then backstab me a few turns later, is going to get a swift kick in the ass!

Well played FF

The solution is you deal with the Ai's differently from the human players. Do unto them as they do unto you.

Unfortunately noone bothered to tell me this for months

I've noticed in the PTW forums that people love playing MP games with AI's involved. My only thought is why bother... I play MP so I can play against real people and not the stupid AI. If I wanted to do that, I would just play in single play mode.

Does anybody play Civ II MP games and enjoy having moronic AI's running around?

I think with PTW, they want multiplayer and a lot of Civs, but more than 3 or 4 human players and the game lags too much, so they use AI.

ACK!

the first time i lost, he found my first two cities right at the beginning, more like crap luck for me, and he knocked me out, we have all done it to someone before..

the second time, he screams peace, and 5 turns later, when my army has gone elsewhere, stabs me in the back. i was so incensed that i fought for a little bit and then disbanded my troops in disgust in all my other cities

so i have yet to see any skill other than treachery...which i won't fall for again.

i look forward to the future

Is there really any other skill?


Upon Edit: Screamed for peace wasn't exactly correct... I said "We both have bigger fish to fry". It turned out that War smelled fishy that night.

Anyway, we should just save this for the next game... I am looking forward to it greatly.

Yeah... cheating... But thank god, our group doesn't practice that skill

actually, you asked for peace in kingschat....... then attacked me shortly there after, although you also said, we have bigger fish to fry....

[Ming]

Yes... the next game with you two in it should be REAL INTERESTING...

[War4ever]

and yes there is other true skill...... but if you can't see that , well ....i guess that explains why i am the better player, despite your weak victories.

if i beat you before 3000bc like you did in the first game , i would just say it was luck....which it was

and the second game, if i did that to you...haha..well you would be agitated and make sure it would never happen again ...which it wont ....at least not like that

the beat goes on......
