Sorry, Bird, I didn't understand. Troll didn't use nukes to nuke you?? Or you mean, you had never seen Troll use nukes before so you assumed he would never use them?

Not bragging mind you but me and Birdie..or should I say Fried-Chicken Birdie ..and I had a non-challenege map game..awesome one..he simply forgot a few things..i wiped out the other two ai's and went to frickasee a Big Bird..

I watched a few of his threads.. about others..then built Nukes like crazy..

and moved them to forward positions..and I was gonna wait about 10 more turns to unleash da hounds..but Birdie sent me an email..and I took as a veiled threat to Trolldoms security...my cabinet reminded me of Casto Birdhead..they sez, sez they "Mr. Kennedy Troll..ask not what Bidie can do for your country but rather what you can do for his"



So each turn I sent about 10 nukes...averaged 5 cities per turn..kinda like deco art..rip up the interior and rebuild the exterior..

I say it was one of most enjoyable games ever played...

I used almost all Fascists to eliminate the 2 ai's..

then I took the 120+ Fascists and disbanded them in cities to buy Nukes quickly... I mean they didnt mind fighting for their country..didnt really wanna actually lay their life down!!

Anyway..I made Him say Matae Japanese for I give up!!

Great Game my only decent game in 5 years..

Be kewl

heh heh heh Troll listens and studies well

Exactly how to do it, my kinda of game. I mean you do run the risk of the super flood as Birdie said but! Not if you know how to control your own pollution. The fascist's do that for you. Production off and growth on and use those facist's for production until the pollution comes down.

I think Troll is comming into his own game style now and is a contender of great skill.



ya ya we hate nukes blah blah but they are part of the game no different than slavers or speciality troops, some of which are more lethal than nukes. Learn how to use them and how to counter them.

Any Challenge Match progress reports?

[Mathemagician]

hmm... kicking everyone's ass.
...except Dimytes'. there im only kicking his feet.

[Dimytes]

Says the one that so far has EVERY wonder that never gets obsolete... + a bunch more.
But anyway, this game with Mathemagician has been quite fun. So far it has included small battles, many years of peace, diplomacy, espionage, pirating, corporate braches and lawyers.

Those mostly are the best games, then duke nuke 'em mind you if you can keep up the special units game you may not need them. On the other hand all wonders that do not expire... Nuke the &^*%$)(

Game with Hatschy is at turn 62

Pink AI is 1st in PG, I'm 2nd (green), Hatschy 3rd (orange) not too far from me, and blue AI 4th.

I finished Stonehenge 10 turns ago and I'm ready to finish Laberynt in a couple of turns. I noted Hatschy is building it also, maybe will be a race for this wonder in the next turns.

I have only 23 cities and my science is very bad (130 SCI and 13 techs) because I guess this map was set with minimum goods on it.

Ber's achile's heal Mind you the wonders more than make up for it

[hatschy]

As far as I can remember, we agreed upon using standard challenge match settings, so I am quite sure I used these when starting the game. Meanwhile you've already deviated from the standard by building Stonehenge. But ok, let's build some wonders .

[Mathemagician]

keep log files of the game settings for all your games, people.

[quinns]

Checkmate and I are on turn 122 of our dual-duel match. Things are heating up. I'm ahead on the PG in both games, but that doesn't mean much. In this Duel the SGHTF soon!
