Lately... I've been building it late, because nobody else has bothered to build it... and as you say, at that stage of the game, a few caravans is nothing.

Like you, my game doesn't depend on building it... I can crank out the cities without it. But if it becomes available

its true though

And your point... we all know that

Well War, I'll provide you some much needed support here.

Unfortunately first, I agree with Ming that you have to sacrifice something to race to HG (or lighthouse on water maps). Hence banning HG is extreme. However, I would agree with your point that wonders generally should be made more expensive. Whatever Deity says wonders in Civ2 are overpowered for their cost, and I have felt for a long time that the game would be a little more balanced if all wonders were a little dearer........just to make that person think twice before building an extra few caravans to get the wonder.

Personally in 4 player games I'd allow the lot, and make them all a little dearer......though exactly by how much in each case would take a lifetime to agree.

In deity duels I am sympathetic to banning HG (don't tell Eyes I said that......if he sees this thread he is going to laugh) like GW, but I think it's up to the 2 players to agree here. I have agreed in duels not to build lighthouse on water maps, and you could apply the same to HG.

Hydey had to pick up his parents. Deity says he now only plays 4 ways - so that was that............

You should have played with us and then you could have been spontaneous at your meeting, dazzled them with improvisation, told a few jokes........huge adrenalin as you bluff your way through............

What's wrong with 3? I like 3 ways (no jokes please)......it's probably my favourite number of players.

**deity** · January 24, 2003, 07:13

3 ways suck (no jokes please)

I have no idea -I just like playing with my friends on a Friday night, have a chat, unwind, any game will do.
