Actually what you saw on the pg was a mass buy of markets for all cities...until then you had a huge lead remember? While rivers can not be underestimated fisheries and mines rule...

As you can see by the attachment you had pg all the way, plus city size. The big difference is markets, you built granaries I never do I buy markets. I had but three more cities than you But if you look at what was bought, built there is the difference.

Mircomanagement is also key here I figure I would have factories by about turn 60 built...You had troops I had mills big difference here is the game cheack it out in cheat mode. The other big difference is I built cities close to each other. When I hit size two in this game I switched to production and built a settler. I have muskets in 4 turns I think roads on the way. :0)

None the less Swissy is right terrain makes a huge difference. Do not accept crap terrain in league games. Both players should take the time to find the best start zone. Pain in the but* sometimes but well worth the effort as you both will have a superb game

Blackice is just a plain great player.... it takes me on average an extra 10 turns to defeat him than most other players...

Bravado, the realm of the insecure... I have mepped the territory well...

Hell, I'm incredibly good looking, embarassingly rich. married to the world's most beautiful Woman, what a cruel twist of fate that I should be hung like a Gnat....

I apoligize for stalling the tourney I finished my taxes today at aroud 2ish. And I was gonna come on and try and find nimrod. But I changed my mind. Instead, I say on my inflatable budwieser chair. And sat on my fat ass all day playing Gamecube, and some NME at the gates on DVD, and then TV. Only getting up for bathroom, food, ciggarrettes. And now that my girlfriend has kicked me outta there. I guess im on. But its 11:30. So too late for game..

my apologies. You know how these things turn out.

[blackice]

Been there did it done it, you forgot the dang cat

[ricketyclik]

It is true, Novato whipped me. Next time Novato, inform me we are playing a rated game (not that I'd play any better, I just like to know).

Dont put the blame all on your self Faded. Ive been busy with finals this week, switching to a new job for the last two weeks, and between the woman and child, leaves little time for much else. We need to colaberate on a time to play. When will you be next avaible?

[faded glory]

this upcoming weekend. All saturday.

[Nimrod]

Work in the evening it will have to be for a few hours in the morning, what are your times?

[ricketyclik]

Blackice, Keygen and I really seem to be unable to play each other online. We've tried a couple of times, each in several servers with both of us creating the game, and where I've been able to join other games.

I think we'll probably have to play different players? I dunno, any suggestions?

[blackice]

Set up a time here on the forum and one of us will host the game for you two.
