Leaders in MP

[War4ever]

So i have a question, i have PTW now (not the warez anymore, but an actual store bought game ) given yesterday for my birthday (today!).....

have people been able to obtain leaders through their games?

if so, are you getting leaders through skirmishes on the battlefield (ie open terrain) or when your conquering cities?

Are leaders even possible in mp games?

And is it safe to assume that people are using militaristic, industrious/religious civs only?

so far i have been in the lobby...checked out some ping times, is there a way to check your own ping?

and then backed out.......so far only given myself a teasing taste......

i was hoping to play with my civ2 group first, but alas they don't have the game yet...or at least not that i am aware of...

anyways thanks in advance,

No to the civs. Expantionist is probably the most prized trait on Pangaea and Continents.

Religious, Industrious, and Militaristic after that.

IMHO.

Yes leaders are possible. I had 3
leaders in two games so far.
1 attacking a unit
1. defending a city
1. attacking a city

[War4ever]

i haven't got any yet

Getting leaders against humans will not be as easy, I think.

,

Your ping is relative to what everyone else's ping is. So the ping you see for each other player is the ping they see for you.

Gotten a leader and seem one created, so it happens.

I got a leader in a game i was getting my butt kicked in! So i made a army of spearmen

[notyoueither]

Game just finished. One of us got 4 or 5 GLs.

Bastard!

[notyoueither]

That was against AI civs...

None to date against human civ.

[Franses]

On a one to one game without AI's my opponent got a leader. So it is definitly possible.

It didn't help him though.

[notyoueither]

That's the point. A human is going to minimise your chances of getting a GL, and will go all out to kill it if you do get one.
