The first wonder to build

Another one that goes into my printed archive. What would I do without Apolyton's accumulated knowledge? I'd be lost, I tell you, lost!

Have the Gits been informed? I think this one deserves its place right up there in the GL, next to the Statue of Oedo!

I was responding to your statement about only making elvi. My point is that you may be able to make extra citizens along with the elvi. Additional to that, there is the point, that one can convert the Elvi to normal guys after either Mikes or SOL are achieved.

If you want to guffaw like a ninny, go ahead. just don't make silly statements yourself, loser.

There seems to be a couple of different types of players at Poly....those who wait and attack with howies and those who attack earlier than that.

I for one attack as soon as i see the enemy, grab a few units and make my move. I do this with every tech window i can find, which can be many in some games and less in others....

its pretty obvious what your priorities are every game...lots of water..you need boats, lots of land you need happy/military wonders ..etc...

things like trade are needed in every game....trade wins the game and allows you to dominate an otherwise idiotic and childish ai....

but how many of you out there attack say with ellies/knights crooks/cats muskets/cannons calvalry/clads..... etc.....

i only leave a civ alive if they provide a trading empire for me.....otherwise leaving the ai to its own resources can be hazardous to your health.....especially when you have important techs which you don't want the ai to get a hold of...

the unfortunate thing about this game especially in water worlds etc..and this applies to mp...some wonders greatly unbalance the game thus making it difficult for players playing from behind to mount an efficient comeback.....

Missing wonders in MP isnt as bad as you can counter any of them exept LH and Magalans.

I think that I'm not the better player here, but I go to Mike directly and often Mike is my first wonder in both modes of play (SP and MP)

so true....but the first to HG has a huge advantage, you can expand expoenentially and WLTCD's are so much easier and quicker....

on a single continent, the ships aren't as important

Again, this is why I agreed that using the King is a short term solution.

Guffaw? Ninny? CR looks in English-Swedish dictionary and comes up with "gapskratt" and "våp"...

Loosen up, my Apolyton friend. You either take yourself too seriously or don't have any sense of humour. I suggest you look up the meaning of "smiley" and check out the ones used here at Apolyton. My posts above are filled with them to give you an idea that I'm teasing/joking with you.

No need to go on the warpath.

BTW, the Pyramids are still a wonder for people who haven't grasped "the fundamentals"!

On a single continent I agree, but most MP games are played with more islands.

As for HG: It costs 400 shields, or 4 caravans, witch can give you 4 techs and the money to buy a couple of temples.

Yes 4 caravans...but only 200 shields!

Both of these statements are partially false!

1 most games are NOT played on islands.....but i guess it depends on settings and/or whom you play with... i would be willing to say at most, half the games now are played on island worlds, but prior to the last year or so, i would say that almosts all games were played on large land masses....

HG is only 200 shields...the best early investment you can make in any game....any game!!!!!

with HG i can take out virtually anyone.....simply build your way to victory....so simple its boring

anyways.....we need to play, and iwill show your the power of HG

especially if your capital has a nice trade special or is near water... celebrating that early will give a handy trade bonus, its like building a colossus (and just as useful when/if you hit republic) on top of that you get an extra happy person in all your cities

Heh, heh, heh... I see, glad to have been at your service... Hm, how can I help... How about this... In my book, people who care about their post counts and their Apolyton status are Internet nerds who probably have inferiority complexes in their real lives, where they have failed miserably to fulfill themselves... Hence the need to be somebody in cyberspace...

Hope this won't reduce my post count...

And, to avoid accusations of going off-topic, the Pyramids is still a crappy wonder...

Pyramids rocks. I just turn off the notification thingie and enjoy creating unhappiness.

Seriously, Pyramids friggen doubles your growth rate. people like XinYu are very pro-pyramids. In general (maybe not with you) people who are anti-Pyramids are overly scared of deity unhappiness.

[Caesar the Great]

pyramids are useful, but it depends on the situation... if i've got a nice size 4 or 5 capital i'd go for col for the trade bonus, but if i've been going massive ICS then i'd certainly go for pyramids (assuming i miss HG) i usually build a lot of warriors early on before HR so i just send them to the new cities and unhappiness problem solved
