As Berz taught me one night with great effectiveness.

The pre-worked setts is never a big deal to me (Mostly because I don't know how to do it effectively).

The hutfinder hasn't made any of our games longer so far, so I think people are being respectful of each other's turns.

Unless of course, you happen to pass out during yours...

P.S. The MING rule scares me...

Really it does...

city bribe sucks, unit bribe is fine, one should pair his troops up anyways.. thats just smart.....and if you let a warmonger get into a democracy with all those happy wonders, then you dont' deserve to win anyways

Having to send your troops around the world like Mormons just shows how ridiculous unit bribe is.

And why does having to send units out in twos to keep them honest ridiculous?

You're right of course - we all know Nelson won at Trafalgar because of the fleet that was paired up with his fleet to stop them defecting to the French

its just part of the game, bribing a settler requires alot of coin, its the individual units that can be quite cheap

I also wonder how Rah rules would evolve if you played long games. Unit bribe can get awfully tiresome over 10 sessions of a game.

[Ming]

City bribes got old quick... especially after somebody walks up and bribes a city for 23 bucks, yet a unit bribe would cost 10 times more. Even long games wouldn't change the rules. Nobody really has a problem with unit bribes.

How would you know?

In your little group.

[Ming]

We have played long games in the past, and it wasn't a problem. And yes... in our group, which over time, consists of MANY players. Unlike you Aussies, we have had a more diverse and larger group of people to play with

[Alexander's Horse]

do not

[Ming]

We've had far more people over time than you guys have had. And, our current list of active players is so much larger than your current list, it isn't even funny.

So dream on...

[Alexander's Horse]

how would you know? You dream on.

[War4ever]

no ones saying x2x1 games are more fun Horsie....... and we have played a ton of games in the past that went many sessions.....

i don't recall one of those games not having conflict until modern times though

[Ming]

I read your threads so dream on.

And I guess we should get back to discussing rules and not spamming this thread.
