I'll challenge. These games should be fun.
right il reserve that challenge 4 you next time we are on
Are you kidding me? I challenge you, next time I'll play civ rev instead of call of duty
Maw play whoever is on first.
Defended my crown against an angry dukeblue!
my zulu vs duke china, i got lucky with angor early and 2 ai caps, had a ton of gold compared 2 dukes 1 barb mongol shared island. impis owned and button resynch clashes and game mechanics angered the dukesta.
2nd game i did mention not 2 play angry but we did anyways america vs america, can only guess duke had more bad luck or resynchs as he left 2 go shoot people in the gouch(blak ops)
im up late 2nite so maybe il meet you first morte?
Ha yeah. I just checked this thread to post and saw you beat me to it.Originally Posted by Mawpawk
Game 1. I got a walk in on Mongols. 1 hut on my island for 30 gold. Would be the only hut I get all game. I expand as fast as possible. Which is pretty slow on all hammers, even if China. Maw gets the Great Pyramid so he has easy mode enabled.
Maw got his GP early due to AW. Explorer. Then SoC same turn for another GE and GS. GS Nav the turn before I complete it. With all his gold he has galleons everywhere. Impis on my island. Nothing I could do. Oh, and I kept trying to attack his galleons and kept getting the stupid lose movement while he moves away at the same time glitch (his host). Obviously it was 50/50, but had I won those I would have won easy.
2nd game I move for 7 turns across the great plains and then sahara desert. I think I saw 1 tree. Finally meet up with the Aztecs. Get between its cap and 1st warrior. 3 warrior trick. No wound, no wound, lose 3 vs 2.5. Aztec warrior 1 tile from my cap. I saved myself the embarrassment of having the Aztecs walk in my cap two days in a row and shut the xbox off shortly after chucking my controller across the room.
Frustrating set of games to say the least. Not saying that I outplayed Mawpawk or anything close to that. Just the way the game goes sometimes.
This doesn't work on Aztecs. It wouldn't have mattered if you'd scored a wound.
Shhhhhhhhh, he's mad, bro
I know. I figured a little salt in the wound might help.
You do make a valid point.
And I'm not mad anymore... Just at the time haha.
☺☺☺☺☺☺☺. There are times at which I amaze myself with my own stupidity.
As long as you are still amazed by it, I wouldn't worry about it too much. If you come to expect it, then there's a problem.
Thanks doc, feeling better already!
Mawpawk may actually be the king of the top tier. Our games:
Zulu vs Zulu - it's hardly even a glitch, but Mawpawk moving a caravan out early just as I attacked his impi army that had just taken a barb was pretty damaging to me. I didn't advance the square and obviously didn't get the caravan. Tie went to the host, I guess. That was +60 gold for him as he named a tile and sent the caravan to the Arabs. I never got more than 30 gold, though I took Tripoli. I tried to press Mawpawk with fundy impis, but he had legions to counter real fast, like 2000 BC. Ugh. He had his 100 gold comfortably but I didn't have any gold. Then he took Tripoli from me. I fought on because I got the Pyramid and Seven Cities a little later. I couldn't expand like I wanted to because Mawpawk was pushing legions at me. He won a 9-12 to take one of my island cities. He also won a pretty crucial galley fight. Whatever advantage I'd gained from the artifacts was swallowed up by him having 100 gold a good 20 turns before me.
My China and his America. I would have totally crushed here except he had a GA and got my horse army. Bah.
For completeness sake, my America vs his China. Basically the reverse of the above.
Man artists are broken. I guess we were both pretty dumb for building horsemen at all with China. Probably best to get some archers and start expanding, then some legions for defense. China can do that pretty well.
I still haven't tried that. Sounds like you were unlucky....
phew winged another defence of the crown! what is it with zulu and first barb techs? it seems it happens more with them than others, and thats without selecting research. good games and yea that city flip bizness is devastating , anyways im sure morte or tyshine is gona burst my royal bubble soon. or any1 else
Soon you all will agree with my original statement... No oxford, settle all GP!!Industrialization is a whole new ballgame when you have to tech steam power plus another 500 odd beakers.
Yeah, I'm ready for that, though settling GP makes them really weak.Soon you all will agree with my original statement... No oxford, settle all GP!!
But that's okay I guess.
New trick: give AI Industrialization, University and a builder and try to get Advanced Flight. You probably have to give up two builders since it'll stupidly settle the first one. Probably use the second one to rush a temple.
I have to play Pawk soon... quick, someone tell me what to use the American GS for!! I know it's not HBR. Hmmmm.... Probably CoL for the quick 5 techs and instant expansion. Am I close?
You're going to get a GA or GH so it doesn't matter!
Oh yeah, no artifacts either. Except for Atlantis b/c its unavoidable sometimes.
I don't know about that. What's next? No walk-ins? No taking barbs? No building units?
You have two videos on YouTube in which your opponent gets Seven Cities but you get two caps and are perfectly competitive.
I also have two matches where I get 7 cities in the first 5 turns
And that teaches us what exactly?I also have two matches where I get 7 cities in the first 5 turns
That someones an extremely lucky b*s**r*
That artifacts can be extreme causes of unbalanced games.
So can a walk-in on or early conquest of Rome or Madrid. So can one guy getting 100 gold fast and the other guy not getting it. So can a horse army losing 6-2.5 or warriors losing 4.5-2.5. What will you do about these things unbalancing the game?
Blow up my xbox and then buy a new one.
A cunning plan. I'll try to be on around 10 EST tonight. I'll see if I can't think up some more absurd rules before we play.
I'll try to make it. I have class until 10:15 ET. But it usually doesn't run that late.
i guess we could try a bare bone version of the game, but i like the random nature of gp's and artifacts. i don't like oxford because it has made top level games into anything but random. i much prefer the very real possibility of a galleon fleet, or countless legions, or knights, rather than everthing be about the straight path to bombers.
i got a new controller and game yesterday. my old controller was randomly sending my cursor west at bad times. my wife needed a new laptop so i added it onto the total like pork to a bill. i should have been in congress.
My controller does that a lot. I t really sucks when moving a settler or HA to the wrong tile. In fact, in my first tourney game against Zef it happened several times. You'll see if it I ever post that video.
if we made it balanced i guess the game would be called civ rev chess.
Chess isn't balanced. White is totally broken with its move first bonus. Black has nothing that can counter it!
thats the difference between you and i, i see the black having more of an advantage as it has that counter move ! example= haymaker vs counter punch. .... chicken or the egg first?....=balance
Well, I hate to have a silly argument about chess here, but white gets to move after black does, so white can just counter the counter. What black can't do is move first.
no argument brotha just my point oo view, i also think that a lottery ticket has a 50% chance of wining! it either does or it doesnt.
do only 2 people play the kiwi lottery?
Which reminds me, let's play this weekend a few times and you can post any of them you like! But don't dare put up the Mongol one: I'm stubborn!!!!!
