mawpawk vs multiplayerbeast
my english vs multis greeks, we styart kinda close but only close by galley which multi invests in i settle by barb no dye 2nd tun and tech HB we have america on the board which i threaten and complete all elements of the dreaded HA and narrowly avoid his galley drop due 2 his government switch attack athens fo the win.(vs militia)
indian miror match
i settle in place due 2 rubber and get a 3200 walkin on greece(no tech) basically multi puilled sum good moves flipping athens(soc) and manourving his HA 2 take my 1oogld city but i had legions and religion from taki9ng tripoli being the game advantage as i was in fundy and him on 4 techs, itook my cities back but im kinda sure i didnt even need them as my ancient settler plants were on much better resources than his .mawpawk gets the win!yay
sidenote, we restarted due to multi being on an island at 3200
Not familiar with sarcasm I see hmmm...
Got one in V.S. Dan
Russians V.S. Dan Germans
Got a lot of gold pretty early to rush quick HA. Took 3 barb huts and 1 friendly. Got 30g from 1st then caravan from friendly then other 2 barbs I took with my HA and I got 2 caravans out of those. Also got Pyramid and switched to fundy. Took Berlin and didn't bother going for his other cap he got from Mongols since I figured he had counter WA's in there. I go for France, it is next to a hill so it should be easy under fundy to take. My militia spots his HA then I move my HA to hill waiting for him to take out French warrior underneath it then I killed his HA. He quits.

As prey stated your luck has to run out eventually... I just hope it runs out with me first
So you guys split?
no split multis luck dosent work in my town2 nil
this is why i am firmly convinced of the benefits of the 2nd turn gov change. it might cost you some beakers, but it will win you some games.
standings updated.
i really i blew this game, although his start would be hard to beat even if i played good. i headed towards the middle of the map, but it was a wide barren swath of land. i got 20 gold from naming and had to settle with 1 forest to get the mongol cap. i should have been hammering warriors, but instead i teched hbr. russia sent 2 caravans my way, and france a 3rd. i sold hbr to france to get 100g. russia showed a HA, but my WA on a hill kept him from going for the mongol cap. i really blew it by teching bw instead of defending berlin. he snuck around with what i assume was a 2nd HA and took it against a single warrior. in between this i sent my settler north and ran into a stupid camped french warrior who stole it. i chased with my HA but arabs stole it from them. if i had just settled in the north i'd of had both of these caps from hills i'm sure. i went for paris and ran into his trap. i had seen a galley of his off the shore but there wasn't much i could do at that point. i should have ignored paris and went the 3 or 4 turns north to tripoli (and my 100 g settler) i might even had manipulated math out of it.
Yes, my "luck" couldn't stand to Maw's greatness...
It won't... It won't but you may win due to skill but never luck.As prey stated your luck has to run out eventually... I just hope it runs out with me first
Even when I win I know it is luck that is part of the game though so I don't have a problem with it
This game does take skill but it takes more luck IMO. It's is kind of like poker which I also like to play a lot.
Nope, only had 1 HA. I thought you had a warrior army next to hill by Berlin which is why I was hesitant to take your empty cap. Thought you had a counter WA in Karakorum to kill my HA so I didn't even bother with it and just went straight for Paris I got lucky my militia saw your HA the turn before or you might have killed my HA after I attacked Paris. If you would've gone for Tripoli I likely would've doubled back after I took Paris to take out Karakorum with a couple HA's under fundy. Would've had 4 caps probably but you would've had fundy to so it would've been fun. GG
played two vs mawpawk
my japs vs his french
my russians vs his mongols
a.. er my japs walked a little east. It started to look bad as i lost track of forests but then found a friendly and then a decent spot to settle. If I had walked the other way (not likely) further i guess I'd have met mawpawk too early and got killed. anyway I got a warrior out and if i remember correctly that warrior poped a barb which showed me mawpawk. i now tensed up and decided to tech HBR (he was still quite far away) and send the horsie at him. it was a little all or nothing as I had very little on my side of the map. as i approached his city I named a tile and was like "DAMN!" as i guessed maybe he could see the map there - but he didnt see it in the end and (amazingly good timing) - he decided to disband the warrior in his cap for 10g. I just danced right into the cap with my horse next turn as the horse and my warrior turned up.
game 2
my russians walked a little and I think i settled by a barb this time. i churn out a warrior and pop that barb. I get about 40g and figure it is HBR time again. I now get shown a barb to the east and at the very edge of the screen see the faint hint of a brownish boarder (easy to miss)again see mawpawk in a similar position to last time relitive to me. I tech up to HBr and sneek up behind a barb that he is killing.
lightning fast i button race for it at the beginning of the turn, getting a galley. And then he attacks my warrior and kills it. I however get a horse over there fast and he picks up a friendly letting be get enough together for a HA. he on hte other hand has no time and only has a Warrior up. its game over and he calls it.
no galley drops just horses.
hunting for people tomorrow..
Mawpawks less of a emotion player than me but I can jsut say.. 4 losses in a row on the same day really stings...

2 in against Mulltiplaya: His Mongols beat my Zulu. My Aztec beat his Aztec. Don't even wanna tell anything about the first game...feel sick. Well played there Multi, and a frustrating, but long and fun game.
2 in against Mawpawk. My Spanish beat his Greak. My English beat his Japan. Not a chanse for him in any of those.
lo0st 4 gamess in a row ...how bleak my chances! non theless ggs prey n scottie...il make sure 2 give yas a better challennge nex time
sounds like uncanny bad luck - i thought you were immune to that... but forum is good with getting english vs your japan and giving you not even a tiny sliver of hope.. I know....
Lets go for 6 I'm on right now lol.
Wow! WTF?!?! Mongol V.S. Zulu?? Want to hear about that game lol.
Got 2 in with scottie.....the second game was so long my details on the 1st might be hazy...
Scottie (Mongols) vs Blades (French)
I take out a civ around 3500.....then another shortly after 3000.....found a third ai cap close to 2000......finally found his mongols with a boat...I sent it looking cuz I had two GA....flipped a city of his...had a freshly built horse in it....walked into his cap...Complete domination victory at 1400bc....nice...
Scottie (India) vs Blades (India
This game was pretty epic....I think it was one of those two or three hour games....it seemed like it anyways....not sure how he started but I was blocked in by a barb so I settled and took it at 3600...got my 100g pretty fast and ended up taking out ai France about 15 turns in....I found angor wat for the pyramid and was clearing nice gold with my HA....nice gold....So neither scottie nor I could take out Egypt(HGoB) or the greeks early....I didnt really try....I got 1 turn away from 5 tecs and pumped out 8 settlers in ancinet on CoL from pyramid....had four cities when it happened so I bumped my fifth tec...settled...then popped a GH a few turns later...shortly aafter I was putting out 150 tec in the late bcs or early ads....then comes massive fundy cat armies on galleons...1...2...3...4 and 5...AA''s.....15 of my cities were taken at one point in time....not all at once but 15 were taken atleast once..never more than 6-8 at once though.......I was split into two main areas.....eventually with knights i was able to regain all of the cities around my capital...most were changing hands the whole time....then I hit my lucky break.....vet rifleman armies with vet cruiser fleet....strong enough to stop and destroy his attack....he withdrew shortly after i took my 8th city back....he still had 3 more.....so I guess we Both made a great comeback...I just got the last laugh....awesome game Scottie...always a pleasure mate.....
I started out without a lot of gold and the ai i found with my ha was the greeks and they were not going to loose the 7.5 vs 9.
Never mind, i had a go at the egyptians - but found him there with his ha too and had ot make peace with them to jump me back to keep the HA safe. I was way behind in tech and couldnt get CoL in ancient, meanwhile he had AW for pyramids.
so I sold out on a catapult attack and tried my luck. it was reasonably sucessful but Simply griz had too much of a lead.
I had to steal gunpowder and steam from him but by the time they were available i had run out of easy cities to take...
Got 2 with Mawpawk
English V.S. Mawpawk Russians
I got pretty good start finding 2 friendlies and naming a tile. My 3rd friendly upgraded my warrior. Thats fine, Germany was 4 turns away. I attack with my vet WA 4.5-2.5 and lose at 3400. I tech HBR little later. I declare war on his warrior 3-2 and lose my horsemen. Finally get vet HA after a very long time and I keep attacking Germany but they keep on hurting my HA so I have to heal like 4-5 times before I take cap. It upgraded to scout. After I took it I moved my HA with an AA to Moscow using a galley. He only had a horsemen in it when I first got there. Once again I got hurt about 3 times I believe enough for him to rush loyalty archer army. My first GP was a GB which I used on Sam castle. Mean while he drops off his KT and takes Berlin 6-6. I move my HA and find one of his cities. He rushes an AA and the defense was 12 I told him screw it if he wins 12-13.5 I quit. He does so I quit.
Zulu V.S. Mawpawk Romans
Obviously I was taking out my frustration on him using Zulu since I was angry at the AI Germans for screwing me in our first game. Well, he stayed to the very bitter end but ended up losing his cap for the dom victory. I got every wonder and all caps so he was pretty screwed. GG Mawpawk
I'm not going to make a fancy looking post for my games in until I break even in wins and losses or have more wins than losses in this tourney.
The game that Multi was Mongols and Prey was Zulu details.
I start off moving my settler and pick up a friendly for 25g. I name landmark and catch eye of the Romans. I settle not far from them and take the capital... CoL! I took out a barb right next to my cap so I got 3 cities. Problem arise about 3 turns later as message says that Zulu want to conduct diplomacy. I think I answered and we agreed to peace but as you know with Zulu... they will be trying something soon. I see a warrior and then next turn I see a army. Unfortunately for me I settled next to a hill and didn't have the resources to put someone up there let alone protect my cap and other two cities. Impi army gets on hill and attacks me. I got archers but I never had enough time to get on fully fortified. Now it became EXTREMELY weird to me that everytime Prey army attacked me... they win flawless or only get 1/3 injured. Now mind you these are archers defending... games 2nd strongest defenders (second to Modern Infantry as I have seen MI with defense of 45 defeat 96 attack) and they did not upset the Impi Army advantage not once. So I'm thinking it is over. Next, another W comes and takes out my city next to cap. I'm left with two caps only. Then Prey stops attacking Kak and eyes Rome. He comes to attack that cap with 2 hills next to it and eventually takes it. I take back city next to cap. I start to get ready to quit as that city Prey took gave him CoL prior to my taking it back. But a path to victory came when the Imp army left Rome open. I form a AA in a stylistic way without Prey knowing to double turn on empty Rome. I get the cap but see Impi Army on hill. Impi Army attacks and loses and therefore a upgraded AA and my cities back.
Things get quiet on my end but I see that Prey is attacking the Spanish now...Game could be over he gets Navi and he already got CoL in ancient era. But he loses on a blitz attack 4 to 2 defense and doesn't get Madrid. I'm popping cities now in CoL and taking out some barbs that the Zulu never got to get to. Then I notice yet another WA but it met its doom to my LA on a hill. So some time go by and I'm expanding and so is Prey but he gots the lead and medieval bonuses. But then I spot a city planted on a one tile island and it had a market in it. I make a galley and head about 10 tiles east, 30 tiles north and then 14 tiles west and then 4 tiles south to get to this market city and the whole time it stayed open for which I take it. That helped me for about 10 turns or so rush more settlers and get defense. Eventually he comes with a Infil Blitz KA and overruns the island from a boat
Chinese is on this map and have three cities in which Prey converted one and captures the other two. We are both now kinda neck and neck in tech until I find LCoA. The rest of the game I led in tech. Out of nowhere I see a CruA come up on a very nice 1 tile city of mine in which a KA attacks. I prevail but the CruA goes around to mess with other cities more attainable. I lose a city to him down south and then one up north to the same Infil Blitz KA. I decide to build my own KA's and these boys move 3 tiles a turn, regularly!
Things are quiet again but I rush EIC and find KT which gives a tank. I take a single cruiser up north (CA, KA and tank on it) and wait for him to attack. Down south he showed up to another city and tried to attack it but I had riflemen armies in which his CruA and KA couldn't get job done. My turn meanwhile in his area I take 3 of his cities and he tries to get them back but fails. My tank and KA died in process which left the only offense... a CA. He backs off and things are quiet again. He then pops flight, so he has tanks but I been had tanks but he now has air support. I'm not frightened as I have LW being built to turn some KA's, RA's and CA's to TA's, MI's and CanA's. He doesn't bother me again but he starts to attack Spanish and obliterate their 4 cities... I finally get flight, built LW and gs'd bombers. It's on now... I start attacking the spanish cities he took and begin taking them. He tries to get them back but I have the funds to keep rushing armies to fight him and got FA's attacking his and vice versa. It got to the point that there was no hope for Prey's Zulu as my military was strong, I had the money... basically the women and power
Erased from" harddisc"...........
Wow, very nicely done dude lol. Gotta be one of the top games so far.I'm not going to make a fancy looking post for my games in until I break even in wins and losses or have more wins than losses in this tourney.

game Even With The loss. My only loss so far in this tournament,but I guess I Will loose all game from now since I have used all my favoritt civs. To my excuse....This was only The 4. Or 5. Time I used zulu.think they are cheap
Mmmm... but you use China right? They not cheap? Warrior out without ever moving settler in beginning at 3800 bc. They never get 100g... how about popping a settler out of your already 3pop cap? Land that settler and it gives you yet another 3pop city and then you do it again. Meanwhile, you still getting tech because something is sitting in the sea. Almost always you will get your 5th tech fast enough that no one can get literacy... +1 science per turn. Oh how about you just rush to CoL if all else fails after you have teched precious BW. Stay in Ancient Era and nothing doesn't fail... Lets not go into the industrial era... half cost libraries... crazy but they say Zulu are cheap. I could throw out 3 other civs but no one cares as only Zulu... causes for fear and annoyance.
No not China- i'd say 75 % of my games in the past three years I used Egypt. England and Spain 5 % and china 2 % and the rest splits the reminding %. I'm not very good with any civs besides Egypt, but Zulu, german and Mongols are the ones I've used about 5 times each. Prob not very good with them.
Mmm... I thought you were into the Arabs when I seen you high up in the leaderboards. I was sure I seen Arabs as Fav Leader... or was it Greeks?
Dont worry multi - "cheep" is a subjective term.
May havde used Arabs for 20 games in a row, and guess 20 games win streak move you up high in the rankings. But America, Zulu and China Is not often.
take the chatter somewhere else guys. makes it harder to sort out the games for posting.
just finished 2 with grizzly. in the 1st, my india vs his egypt W/collosus, its not looking good. not only does he get the big C, i don't get nav from spain (no tech), and arabs block my culture bonus. i try twice to block deserts but he protects them with horses and archers. i send a HA and WA to the zulu, waiting for fundy since the HA isnt vet. i take down their AA with the 2. i send my HA, inf WA, and AA towards his area. he has taken tripoli in the meantime. this force is a ruse, as i assemble 3 LA's and 3 AA's to sneak back to thebes via boat. i'm figuring if i cant take it i can at least clear the deserts. when i get there its nearly empty and i take it. he flips it but the 3 LA's are still encamped and i take it back. my other force takes his market city. i send a gal fleet plus a CA (and the LA's) to tripoli to end it but he holds out, getting riflemen. i attacked the neighboring city but lose 3 or 4 24-12 advantages to his wounded RA. thats the end of his luck as i start spreading out, grabbing atlantis, indust with a gs, and the school for 2 city flips. i was a few turns from tanks and a cruiser fleet when he gave in.
2nd game my egypt w/the big C vs his germany. over quick as he loses 4.5-6 attacking my HA. i get scout and see his next WA next to dehli. i beat it 9-6 and he calls it. i took 7 cities next turn. played on a bit and had knights with the sam castle about 10 turns later.
You beat Grizz twice Dan...? Wow...
yes he did multi.....his ruse worked....I uprooted my soundly forted cap to defend the city he had 4 armies outside but alas it was a trick.....oh well....that and for some reason one of his attacks took my CA instead of my AA.....but dan played his butt off......the 2nd game I did a rage quit......I built a galley to galley drop him because a hut showed me his cap but even though I put my science where I wanted it the boat ended up on the other side.....that was like 3400 BC....anyways....with him getting 7c and Coll it prolly wouldnt have mattered especailly with his HA taking out both my WA's
oh well....that just means I have to sweep you or mawpawk.....shouldnt be too hard by my estimation....you already ran from me once today.....your girl had to hold you back eh.....I'm ready dog.....
lost 2 to mawpawk. my french to his egyptians (i think). then he wiped the floor with me in an aztec mirror match.
Lol, that is so unfortunate as I truly wanted to face ya but my girl for a the upper hand. Oh the many times I have ditches her for civ. It has many of times almost got me broken up between me n her. She a good sport though and do give me time for the game... too much time actually. Makes me wonder.... That phone...yes he did multi.....his ruse worked....I uprooted my soundly forted cap to defend the city he had 4 armies outside but alas it was a trick.....oh well....that and for some reason one of his attacks took my CA instead of my AA.....but dan played his butt off......the 2nd game I did a rage quit...
oh well....that just means I have to sweep you or mawpawk.....shouldnt be too hard by my estimation....you already ran from me once today.....your girl had to hold you back eh.....I'm ready dog.....
Dang man.....I totally feel like Ving Rhames from pulp fiction right now courtesy of maw an dan.....hey wheres my bruce willis.....
don't worry grizz, he did get even with pliers and a blow torch (i think the civ equivilant is zulu and arabs).
it came to my attention that maw thought we were playing for 2 spots. don't forget that the top 4 spots advance to the next round.
