As I initially said, I don't really care about the choice of language... I could name some other posters who can be a little difficult to decipher.

A while back, 1337 had suggested some interesting and valid strats, so when I saw this thread, what the heck??

And I was sort of having a bad hair day... so the boasting set me off like fireworks.

Since then, it's just been amusing...

And what the heck, a new challenge. I'm game.

(That said, I don;t imagine tiny pangaea as Romans can be all that hard, even on deity... naw, 1337, you still gotta try some of the others, like Alamo).

See if you can win without your immortals: hes referring to Aeson's iceberg, huge map, 16 civs deity,domination win which he knows he cannot replicate. So now he offers up his own game. If someone beats him, he WILL be the 1aphinst0ck uv ap01ee70n.

A coupla questions:

Conquest or domination?

Truly random opponents, or is cultural linking on?

You're on 1.29f?

[I-iZ-1337]

Conquezt, with kulturalz linkzed ponentz. I iZ uZing 1337 1.29 patchez.

Doesn't sound like much of an elite hacker pc if it's too slow for huge maps!

At any rate, fortune smiles on you! As luck would have it, the Alamo scenario is on a standard map!

Is Aeson going to be playing in this challenge.

I have problem with big maps too.
(large and greater)

But standard maps work fine (at 333Mhz Celeron, 64MB RAM).

[Velociryx]

Oh, I know that huge maps can really bog a PC down, but they shouldn't even make an "elite hacker's PC" flinch....

This guy reminds me of gollum. My comp cant handle anything over large. (400 mhz G4, 128 ram, OX9.0.2)

[Aeson]

Anyone else notice something a bit 'off' about the save (challenge) posted? It's modded at least in one area. Tiny/Pangaea/Conquest games normally don't show much skill comparison anyways, but throwing in unannounced modifications on top of that...

[Lawrence of Arabia]

Hahahah. I knew it. I just didnt wanna say it cuz if it proved to be wrong, I would look like an ass. Can u be more specific, because I have a mac version and can't check.

[Theseus]

I'm playing it now... what mod?

(Other than that I can't seem to generate GLs)

1337, conquest or domination?

[I-iZ-1337]

Conquezt.

It iz standardz .bic, n0 m0dz.

[Aeson]

Well, no promotions whatsoever. After my first 20 or so military victories I was quite suspicious... Then a Vet Legionaire defended successfully against 3 warriors, no promotion to elite. There's supposed to be an automatic promotion anytime a unit wins two battles in the same turn.
