I finally won a occ!!!

[MacUser]

Taking Smash's advice to heart, I built a 15-1-1-1-1-1 on tonights OCC game and I MADE IT!!

This is the FIRST time that the AI hasn't whacked me during the OCC game! The big difference, I think, is that I have quit using MPG for single player games and am using the original Civ II for OCC. Between a friendlier AI, gifts and being stuck out on an island far away from the blood-thirsty AI, I finally had a decent chance. And, no, I didn't play Diety. I just wanted to hopefully win at least ONCE!

No log. Nothing to brag about. Just wanted to share the joy of colonizing space!

Be careful what you wish for...

Go back to MPG, play at raging hordes. It can be done! BUT, (there's that big BUT again), be prepared. I just tried my old ICS strategy in my latest game and got waxed. I'm afraid that "once on OCCer, always an OCCer".

Well done MacUser!!! nice one!!

kcbob, so you've had trouble reverting to normal play after occ too? i got creamed last weekend by the french?!?!

[kcbob]

First, let me say what I forgot to say in my first post... kongrats, no wait, cungrats, nope, that's not right, congratz, hold on, congratts... I give up, how do you misspell comgrats?

Seriously, congratulations MacUser. It is a great feeling, n'est-ce pas?

And yes, Oldman, it's tough to go back. Although, some of my problem is that I select "random" on most of the options when generating a world and sometimes get stuck on an island. (I'm not a big naval person)

Now that I think about it, your French comment just gave me an idea for a thread. Thanks.

Well done MacUser! I only ever played one OCC - 9, I think? (The road along the South Pole) Landed in 1825 about 200 years after most others! I had no trouble reverting back to ICS - everyone to their own.

Wait...him or me?

I do OCCs...just haven't really been able to win with anything spectacular. Now and then I do beat the AI by like one year...but that's about it

[Scouse Gits]

MacUser - is there another similar thread somewhere? I would swear that I have already replied (with many congratulations) to this somewhere, but it certainly ain't here!!!

Many congratulations - and kiss ICS goodbye

Good civin'
