Ill be around in 8 hours when i get up around 21 gmt
if anyone wants a game for a few hours

did i see a post some where about small maps and land games saying that trade is not needed ? Peace of advice not sure whether you know or not. TRADE is everything on a small map cannons or muskets or cavalry vs ancient units ends up only one way. VERY VERY hard to win a game with ancient units i havent dont that since the GL tourney of about 18 months ago. if it is pure land with no choke points then knights may have some use.

But generally phalanx are far too strong. Which is kinda sad. Hmm wonder how a small map would be with no phalanx or legions. (-:

Paul if you want a game at 21:00GT I can play for an hour (maybe 2) .. And yup you are right about Small maps.. I played war against ber and money- they developed civs... I took a couple of cities, then ground to a halt with them crushing me with muskets about 30 turns later... Ice on the other hand had no trade but better science than me,I play like a putz these days..... so some easy points on a small one..... excluding phalanx and legions if you want....

[Gavrushka]

Paul it looks like I won't be able to play tonight..... I got some Pile Drivers starting on a house Thursday, and the lazy bleeps want a concrete floor digging up ... and me the almighty Gavrushka is gonna go have to dig it himself!!!!

[Gavrushka]

Paul.. I am available tonight, if you email me or post here, you can be posting your first victory .... ...... soon afterwards...

Be ready for March Paulino1 it is tourney time and you are a number one target

Ok I will set up matches in advance confirm the matches in the new thread when it goes up. If you do not play your opponent you will forfit the game. All matches will be small maps, land no wonders. The rest players choices. Each game will be required to be saved every turn this is a must. It should be fun and fast...

GET OUT YOUR YAYAS THIS WILL BE GOOD!

[faded glory]

Gav!!!!!! You Stinker!

I cant believe you broke through the famed......Saddam line. The mightest fortress ever known to Interplay

Bristling with 50+ units and enough concrete to make 1000 hoover dams, our generals thought it was "Unbreakable". I has seen that they were never again allowed to offer such advice....(execution

You will pay in the future. Oh yes you will.



Also, for those it may interest. That basterd cracked through this. (yes those are forts on mountains )



Anyway kudos to you gav. Sneaky basterd!

[faded glory]

I should add that he never went through it head on. When he tried to he was promptly crushed. All it took was a few planks and boulders (He lost like 30 units the first try )



The basterd went around the jungle part and cut a railroad thru it. And with a few naval landings with longships that slipped thru my battleship nett.. it was all it took.

my whole plan was tho,to stop him. Cause I knew Gav had more production then I did. But Science was lacking...I would have won had it none been for that raid on Assur. I was 3 turns from Explosives.....and gav hadnt even researched chemistry! So after I lost that city, which was a monopoly..... It fell from 3 to 15 turns...so damn. Ya good move gavrushka. I would have came at you with machine gunners...lucky for you

Lesson: Never leave city defended with only 1 unit

We cry We want We want FLESH FLESH for fantasty heh
feel like a victim Saddam

Hone your YAYAS

Hey it was a real classic game..... Faded played a superb blocking game until he was to be ready to attack.... I was horrified when my massed units game across a line of forts, and I had to back off and wait for reinforcememts.... THEN I saw a load of Battles, saw his Land did not have the Prod mine did, and decided an attrition game could be in my favour, so I sacrificed many units to take a fort - and he lost many taking it back .... But all the time I had a single longship (SOLS were excluding and there was no ther sea troop transport available to me) so I stacked Battles with the single longship, and cut a Path to a city yon side of his forts, which was a MONO city... I held that, with Battles, as he sacrificed every unit to try and take it back... BUT I still had a load of units infront of his forts... So when he tried to counter against the Battleship occupation, I found a weak point in his forts and took another city which I quickly nine stacked, and was ready with three more nine stacks to advance.... A Superb tactical game, which could easily of gone either way... There were no stealth units, no Settlers, no sea transporters, it really taxed the brain, but I learned much... Thanks Faded for a great game!

Ahh yes. I had only 4700 production cause of my pennisula and cause of excluded settlers. And I made use of what mountains I had..but alas, the city that had them was just too scattered and we were too dependant on jungles for production.

Ya orignally I was going into that Swamp to fight it out. Then my Spy made the rounds to your cities, I saw you were clearly making more men then I was. So I decided that row of moutains was a perfect spot, and it most definately delayed my death for 60 turns . You orignally did try to breakthrough at the southern most one. But lost 30 men when you took it, and my counter attack was too much, so I was able to take er back.

But the landings were a good move damn you.

Also, 3 more turns you basterd I would of had Machine Gunners I would have attacked your men in the swamps with better troops and probably pushed you back. But that didnt happen, so give credit for hitting me where it hurt (only monopoly city)
