BTW, if you play the dual-duel format you can leave the ruins and wonders in because the game is already equalized by the swap. So if you like ruins and wonders, AND you want a completely fair game -- play the dual-duel format.

hmm. let me guess who invented that duel type.

i didnt say it was boring quinns. i just said i find it boring.
slight but important difference.
also it just isnt soo interesting as with ruins IMHO.

Good! I also! The above rantings were directed more at Mathman and others who have gone off on this "without ruins is boring" subject several times now. I just had to say something in defense of "no ruins and no wonders".

No advantages without disadvantage.

I a dual game, I do know where the capitol of my enemy is.

If you play against a certain kind of player, then this one will go for your throuht (hope this is spelled correct) within the first 15-20 turn.

I do remember, that Lung in his semifÃnal game kicked me in turn 14. He knew, that the second player normally was close to the first (and that is a fact, so is the gameengine doing) and he was lucky to more-or-less go into the right direction and caught me, sitting as a duck and with my warriors exploring somewhere else.

I was not "used" to this kind of starting a game.

But ok - now I am!

Throat, not throuht -- but close. Good points Birdman. But at least in the dual-duel you BOTH know where your opponent is -- where in your Lung semi-final match, only Lung seemed to know the general direction of your capitol. Tough luck in that one!

Chad - 54

Last turn I take his capitol, where he build Laberinth

Now that 5 of his cites had fall I'm 2x PG but the graph is 2 turns before now, so in 2 turns I expect to have 3x PG
