it was game 38, quinns. started in january 2003 !! one of the longest games id say, for turns as well as for calendar time. which supports my point that these games get finished too as long as both players care.

and yes, it was fun to kick your butt, checkmate.
as we were playing a nowonder game (well, almost ) i had to act as i realized you were taking all the AIs' wonders.

I would love to. But alas, my family comes first. I can only carve out a few minutes a day to play PBEM. Thanks for the invitation, though. Maybe in a few months things will settle down around the Quinn household. Then I would be happy to oblige!

That shows a VERY good reason to keep at least 2 tiles between your cities.

I think - THINK - two tiles between cities and interceptors/spacefighters in all cities would have made a world (your world) a difference. The price would be very high for the attacker to nuke so many cities in one turn?!

Sad times..because ifin a naughty neighbor decided to have a neighborhood barbecue and it got out of control then many cities would burn!

BURN!!! I SAY!!

BURN BABY BURN

Um...sorry..flashbacks!!

Nukes are great but you have to have plenty of them and they pollute and well interceptors help thus making it take 2 Nuke Warheads for the price of 1 city to level it..

Good call Birdie

I know why Troll shows that damn picture again and again.

He just nuked me off the map. I was hoping for a decend flooding - but it never came. Then I gave up. My homeland with my best productionfacilities looked somewhat dirty and dark..... and with a rather low population......

thx that was a non-challenge game..........

Most games that go past 200 turns will end in the "nukem first and final" strategy. Where were your SDI's Birdman and Checkmate?!! It is a bit of a shame that there is such a long period of time in CTP where nuke's rule, and SDI's and space cities are either scientifically impossible or prohibitively expensive. In that window, many games end within the horrors of nuclear destruction

yes, it should be easier to defend versus nukes, at least technologically easier accessible.

Checkmate was just on a crusade against the technologically more advanced AI, stealing all the techs and wonders within a short time only.

I couldn't build SDI's, so I used interceptors. But Troll didn't care to loose a nuke (I have never seen him use one single fighter/interceptor in the whole game, so I guess he do not build those or consider them important) to open a city. and then nuke it with a second.

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?
