Ive never seen a non-power civ ranked #1 in FFA, mainly because Morte was already #1 when I started....So what do ya'll think of that? Its not true Japan, I play a lot of random and as Ive mentioned before I love the Greeks as well.....
Japans #1??..

Well thats fricken awesome Grizz, im really happy for you m8.Originally Posted by GrizzleyTigers4
awesome grizz i noticed yesterday you were close 2 gold! how does it feel 2 be number 1! it seems quite close up there in points compared 2 h2h
I wanted to say one thing but I'll just wait
I think nobody will know but me. But Grizzley, you know, in your mind.
However I would have had about 2370 points if I was there, really bad. Now it's too late to restart.
Yeah, soon you'll be 16 and that's much too old for video games. I have company this Saturday. Can we try to get our game in on Sunday maybe?
I was reset a few months ago, it doesnt take too long to get back. But to save you the time I can always challenge you to a best of 7 mirror match. Alternate hosts and whoevers not hosting can chose the civ.I wanted to say one thing but I'll just wait

Thanks it feels pretty good. It was actually more exciting to pull into 2nd past Kyodai GT4(330-29) since Morte was reset. I actually ended up playing him for the first time last night. He challenged me to put my rank up after taking first so I did. Heres a quick synopsis:
Japan(Kyodai/Host) vs Japan(Me) vs Spanish vs Spanish vs AI
3900: we both settle
3600: I rush boat for KT knights and he takes Spanish settler
3200: I take spanish with KT but dont get Nav
2800: same boat finds AW, switch to Fundy
2500: Take out Russia with HA/sacrifice a barb so I can take out Kyodais HA with my KT
1300: KT loses 9-4.5 to Kyodai. Switch to Republic
800: continuous HA pressure on his cities to stall up to now/13 cities switch to Demo: 109 tech/ 55g a turn and 2 3 pop cities set to production/continue to expand
500: Monarchy: 200 gold
400: 250g for Banking
200: Invention: GL, settle worthless, all cities to gold
100: 500g-GS
0: GS-IND
200AD: University-he get his first bonus because I forgot to stop for Engineering-hes around 8/9 cities at 17 tech to my 20ish
300AD rush Oxford off saved prod for 300 bucks. Immediately have 2 bomber wings next turn, both vet....all she wrote...takes a few turns to get to his cap for 4/4 Dom victory
I like the first challenge, and would like to do it.
I did 150 AD oxford bombers with Russia
And that was against Bounding Diddy. (Kyoday is still better but really stupid sometimes).
Agreed, It was my first time ever playing him. Send me a friend request and we can start the matches next time we are both on!I like the first challenge, and would like to do it.

I just played my first 5 games with Morte, it only took us 45 minutes including conversation between games. I messed up the title, its supposed to just say mirror match not best mirror matchI like the first challenge, and would like to do it.

Game1: Rome
We run into eachother at 3800BC, I have gold he doesnt, he settles, I end the game.
Game2: Japan
I see 7C at 2800BC and rush a boat then notice a HA appear outside of my cap. GG Morte
Game 3: French
We end up walking to the same place, he names a tile and I dont so its 3600BC, gg Morte.
Game 4: Arabs
Morte finds SoC at 3700 and my first hut gives me Pottery. We both find the Zulu on the same turn. I take them out, he takes them from me. I get them back a few turns later with a WA. The next turn just before I move them out he flips the city and Im left with him now having my WA right outside my cap at 2700BC. Plus he already has 100G. GG Morte
Game 5: Germans
We both settle at 3900, I landlock and he isnt. A barb tells me he is just north above a lake. I think I have the advantage then step left and see him looking down at me on a hill. Guess I was wrong. He gets a militia and WA outside my cap. I fend it off long enough to get a WA defending so he camps me. I spam warriors to the south and find some huts. I throw a warrior outside my cap hoping he will attack with his WA thats camping my forest square. He does and gets injured so I take them out with my WA from my cap. Then take a barb and choose march over Infiltration. I did that because Morte had his cap open but a warrior defending the hill next to it. I timed a doubled step perfect and walked right around him from 4 tiles out with the march WA. A warrior was built at the end of the turn for him but I attacked before he could move the other in. Game over. GG.
Its 3-2 Morte. None of our games have lasted close to 20 turns and most seem to be decided by luck with the start. They were fast, but it was fun.
Well, I think the last game (as the germans) could have been different. I only needed to rush a warrior to have a warrior army in my cap (I had one on the hill and the other one on the forst). I was waiting for 100 gold to found the new city and rush galley (so I could get SoC, 1 turn away). I was taking washington too.
I'm always confused by your compliments Morte!!I wanted to say one thing but I'll just wait

Grizzzzzz..... Like Jack said, pretty freakin awesome. I feel better now losing the 8th bracket, knowing you belong in the high ranks of great players. Maybe when Civ Rev 2 comes out I'll give you more of a challenge---now that I have almost 2 years experience with strategy videogames. But until then, I can only say I admire the accomplishment---and I'm especially glad that it is you, as you've shown yourself, at least in my experience, to be not only a great player but also a fair player who has a good rapport with his opponents. That's a very, very rare combo---it puts you right up there with Grayson imo!

Well, I usually want people to understand what I say. I can only tell that you didn't understand my point
However I don't want to talk about it
I like the title of this thread!!

Haha! Fair enough Morte....
Me tooI like the title of this thread!!
Congrats to GrizzleyTigers! Nice achievement!
It is a good achievement, but I can't understand, if I used Americans 33% of the times, Chinese 33% and Japanese 34%, would that still be good?
And that is the norm, especially w/good players. I'd say if you play 10 games, you'll probably end 80% of them in 20 turns or less. I guess in that sense Firaxis was successful in mapping Civ to the console.

Thats not what I did though Morte so that analogy makes no sense. The only civs Ive used enough to turn my logo to them in the next 10/15 games would be Greece and the Arabs. I would have to play the Americans and Zulu over 100times to come even close to changing to them and slightly less for China. Thanks for the initial compliment though.
I like the title of this thread!!Thanks fella's. That comment about Grayson's pretty cool....Me too
Congrats to GrizzleyTigers! Nice achievement!
