Capish?

Hey guys. I learned somthing new. If you attack a city with a stack of Subs, they will SLAUGHTER the poor fellow's in the city



Hehe..another thing. Take a Stack of 9 Bombers...Strike a city. Causes some nasty Civilian deaths...


and....*tip*.when you trade, You have a monopoly city which produces..say.....400 gold. (bank, market..clock). Terraform all the tiles to hills and place mines on them. That Gold can grow about 150 more pieces!


edit: also that city becomes a "Industrial" City with the Adv Mines.....So you can load up on mill's/factoy and probably Squeeze 900 production and 550 gold (not adding TV!)of an 8 size city, which otherwise would have given you 200 prod, and 400 gold.

Whoah! How could I have missed this fantastic thread for so long!? I made a news item about it; CtP1 news is so hard to come by these days, that'll ensure this thread remains visible on the CtP1 front page for a long, long time...

hang around Locutus it only gets better in this group

I was driving down the road coming home from class when I remembered an interesting use for a settler as a spy.

What until you research eletricifation, then smeuggle a settler into an opponent's civ. Whether you use a ship to place him on the coast or a small army to move him to the center, have him build a city and place listining post. Disband the city and move the settler elwhere. In a few turns you have a listining post, visablilty 8, within your opponents empire.

In theory, you could place listining post, and with the use of sea engineers place sonar bouyes, on all land and sea till effectivly giving you a "global sattalite" effect over the map. Yet the time, effort, and maintance cost through pillaging reder this task a near impossible.

Hmm, seems like Markos is in borg-ignore mode again, I submitted that news items over 12 hours ago, it still hasn't been posted...

Settler can be easily expeled, even if accompanied with military unit(s) as long as the other player's unit(s) have greater attack value than yours. In addition you need one turn to build and disband a city and one turn to move him forward which make it kind slow. And it could be proven a quite tiresome and annoying task. Not to mention that if you would try to do that in another's territory you would secure a war with him He would attack your settler and your unit(s) and would pillage all listening posts and sonars.

Aside from these it could be a smart tactic if used in wise.

Yeah, hang here because we need that CtP web page to get updated frequently

Right now it looks like a ghost!

Markos is always borg-ignore mode
I have serious problems getting a response from him

Well, if you have any ideas, don't hesitate to let me know (this forum is moving so fast it's impossible for me to keep track of it, esp. since most of the thread are MP game reports, which are not very interesting if you're not actually part of the MP community).

That's not entirely true, he gave me this nice title yesterday
(and I posted a CtP1 news item 3-4 weeks ago)

I can help you if you'd like.
I run some things here so you can have news from first hand in most things

I guess it's partially true...
However,

a) He ingored my request to temporary bring back all CtP-Multiplaying related threads as some important threads got lost.

b) I am still waiting for the text files and documents on Civ2 Tips section I converted to html files back on September to get online.

C) He didn't bother to reply when I offered my help in Civ3 section.

Well, especially when it comes to this forum, I can certainly appreciate any help you can give. As I said, for outsider it isn't too easy to follow this forum.
I think it might be nice to have the MP charts return to the news section, but I'm not sure when/how often they are updated and where to find them (some seem to be in topped threads, some in regular ones ). If there are any other things worth making news items about, *do* let me know...
(of course, all this only works while Markos is willing to cooperate, I still can't actually post news items myself)

Sounds like Markos alright

(BTW, as far as B goes, may I suggest you try and do that yourself? It sounds like something you could do yourself as well so why make Markos do it? He's busy enough as it is....)

I had made those myself and I had sent them to Markos to put them in the Civ2 section. I would put them myself but I am not permited to access Apolyton source pages and add mine

I had offered to help him in html editing back in summer and he had asigned me to convert the above mentioned documents to html code, so he kind had asked me to do it
