I have printed out this MPSG and I am highlighting best points to be rewritten in easy to find and read sections. I will keep you posted on my success.

I have a map, which incorporates all areas of the game - it is four Islands, Identical, with a land bridge and single mountains at sea with 4 whales to each mountain.... The map was created by quinns, I am playing for the second time on this map, you learn an enormous amount from it, I will send it to you tonight...

Hey Gav give the map to everyone NOW!!
We want to practise too

Excellent Nimrod!!

Filix I do not have THAT map -we will not be using THAT map we will be using a NEW map which we all see together,JBytheway ia working on it now.

Filix would you post here a little bit on Strategy.... You could help us all in the area of carrying on building cities, and getting more trade centres working.... The normal way we played is to build to about 30 cities then go military - you build again under commie... and have 40 or 50 cities?? No one ever really thought of doing that!

We played a gigantic map so i had a lot of space to built citys. My number of citys depends on map sziese and the distance to the enemy. A lot of citys is the key for a high Sci score, use all goods you can find. I had routh the same lamps like you and Catete toghter. So i almost ever try to expand later to get more goods and more trade. Is you question answered?
I dont know what to write more about that. Never thought that it is unusual to do this.

[Gavrushka]

Thats the thing Filix, it ain't unusual to you - but I have never done it... It makes perfect sense.... In the game we were playing I guess I had no chance of winning.... I had no room to expand further, and your production must have been much higher than mine... You would have carried on building cities pushing your science further ahead whilst I was committed to attacking losing three units for every one you lost... I got my science at around 2200 - but could not have moved it further (maybe an extra 1000 from science cities) but I guess you would just keep going and going.... and yeh you were right, me and Catete were trading science.... it's the only chance we had.....

I would like to play you one V one on a Land Map again - Huge... earth world, and yeh we can rate this one yeh??

Let me know when you are free.... I've had a superb day, sold everything - and up for a game later if you want...

New players about comsider this thread your CTP survival guide

[Nimrod]

Solver, think this should be on top so we never lose it?

[Solver]

Done. There's a bit of clutter with the top threads on this forum, I think.

I would like a post with links to all the other important threads, like Email, I'm not Here, Youngblood Recruitment Center, etc., so that there could only be three top-ed threads (that and the two ratings ones), and everyone looking at that Info Center could see where to post what.

[Gavrushka]

I was thinking the same thing- Instead of half the page being taken up with topped threads, to have a single none editable one with links to all important threads - and a description of what they do - obviously some threads like rankings would stay at the top anyway - BUT if the thread was called information centre - Or Help Thread, all new users would no intuitively what it is about. - But the one thing I would suggest is that the thread is closed to comments or Faded Glory will start demanding Sweet loving ane the like !!!

I am in violation I guess, but I do agree Gav and Solver, that it would help the likes of me and others trying to become like Gav or other Greats!(Excluding FG of course!)

[Solver]

Yes, Keygen had such an idea a couple of months ago, but now since he's disbanded for several weeks already.

Any UFO sightings in Greece reported recently?

[Solver]

OK... I put up a very quick draft of what I made with the idea, see it and tell of major improvement to be made. Remember, it's very draft-ish.

Here it is.

One question, is The Multiplayer Cafe, more or less a "I am not happy and here's why?" Thread or could it hopefully be just a littlerbox for Un-Covered items from others mentioned?
At any rate, I like this a lot better than awhole bunch of threads scattered, because i see a lot of smart-quips from people saying, "Look for it" or "Dont be lazy" when in fact a person may indeed not know exactly what or where to go!
"Great Work.... Oh Holder-of-the Solver Hall-Keys!"

Solver I LOVE it! It will stop the monthly bump sessions we all have to indulge in!

Troll - I wish I were one of the CTP greats... There are apparantly three players now who are far and away the best there is - two are in the competition, one is semi retired, but is being coerced back - In perspective I played one of these 'three' recently with another superb player - There powergraph was DOUBLE mine and the other superb player - I'd asked them to post - but I guess some things come down to natural ability - and it appears that is something that I do not possess to the same degree..

Back On Topic in this - I have an interesting Question - ON larger maps - to stack cities or not to stack cities..... in grouped cities is there any benefit to defending over and above a single unit?? With a network of Stealth units guarding the approach of an invading army, is it really necessary to defend until you see them - I mean in the post factory Unit churn stage, is there any point wasting prod defending against POSSIBLE attack when you could quite easily send necessary forces when an attack is spotted? Do people actually use 8 units to defend or is it a waste of troups? I agree in outlying cities yes u should - but elsewhere I feel there is no benefit whatsoever.

[Solver]

Thanks Gav and Troll. Now if you told me what else do I add there... there MUST be something I didn't include.
