CTP PBEM Challenge Ladder -- Feb 2004

[Protoss72000]

As long as both players have resonable starting positions, then game away! Your land, what the ruins give you, that random barb that got lucky and burned your city to the ground, it's all part of the game, it is a strategy game and things like how many units you have or what your land is can be compensated for with superior strategy then your opponent.

[Mathemagician]

i doubt that a superior strategy with such good comparable players around can have that much on an effect.
anyway, counting 2 games instead of 1 compensates the random factor even further.

[Protoss72000]

Using massive mounted warriors to rip apart an empires pw system, instead of attacking cities. You can outrun 1 move units and run off from 2 move units. If they follow you just run to some other units, group and attack.

Sending a fleet all the way around someones island to land way behind there front lines for a suprise attack.

All superior strategy that can change games (I have seen it happen). The Romans never suspected they would be attacked from behind by Carthage through the alps

[Mathemagician]

still statistics dictates that two games will compensate randomness better than one game could.

err.. what was my original point ?
ah, yes: everyone have a look at my suggesion.

88. Chlg 88 Dimytes vs. Mathemagician; Started Apr-2004 -- In progress.

[Mathemagician]

4xPG for 2 turns instead of 1, if i may add this, but it seems rather unimportant as Dimytes is sure to have it by turn 80 anyway.

[blackice]

Dimytes yes I did I had three days at my sis's house so I was away for a bit. You forgot the no ai patch DoH!

[Dimytes]

...well...much like perfume..perfection,while appealing, makes ya choke on what it takes to get your top peak performace, for perfection is often, in the eyes of a regemented few, often those whom set standards but fail to meet up to the standards themselves...

Peace

I concede to Mathemagician at turn 101. He has about a 25% lead or more, but it is about to increase dramatically I think. I can smell the defeat, and it is rancid with it's age. He's been taking all of my new cities, after my slavers in them build up population for his harvesting.

Well done Math, you bastard.
