A little secret Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Since everyone is calling me a cheater for this and this game is dead anyway I'm going to tell everyone one of my best kept secrets. I discovered this back when the divine tribe first formed and the only person I ever told was Kaak. It goes a little like this. Highlight or click on a city and get trade. Now hit the space bar. It should come up and tell you the commodities of the city, whether or not it's in disorder, the name of it, and whether or not a unit is on it. Now, use the bug to click around in the black and wait till the screen doesn't move. Once it doesn't move, hit the space bar. That's right, it tells you everything. It's come in handy some, but it's not as useful as you might think. I usually do it to piss off little rookies like Kingus and Atawa when I'm tired of playing and I want them to resign. Enjoy. HAHAHAHA!!!!

Hmmm, interesting. I knew the black click and the screen not centering designated a city, but was unaware of the space bar extra feature. Yes, it might not be that useful but sometimes it's the little things that can make a difference if you can take advantage of it.

If skill is sitting untouched while you build up all game and I'm busy killing everyone else off...then yes, he is the greatest expert of all time.

Got spare money?

What error in judgement? I had 3 people to kill. You were fortified on the only way into your base on a forest while I was being attacked by 2 other people. Tough decision. Why don't you just admit you can't win unless you have other people in the game to help you? Zeppelin spent the entire game trying to meet you so you two could team up. You're a ****ing joke just like you always were.

You dont have any idea how multiplayergames work now do you?

And stars retired in about 3500bc so dont complain about being attacked by two players, you got the free cities after all. I was in 4th for the early game and never got above third, I knew my only chance was making a major move for your core witch usualy is not defended well. When this happens I was betting on you resigning after calling us noobs, eurotrash etc in utter frustration. With the new cities I could then kill Zep.

Well Zep retired a couple of turns before I made the move but the plan still worked perfectly.

You whine a lot about people ganging up on you in MP, the truth is that you have no idea about gamemechanics in games with more then 2 players/teams.

lol There are no game mechanics you idiot. And stars resigned in 3500BC? So stars resigned with 5 cities and numerous horsemen and phalanx and he did this all in 10 turns? Wow, I'm going to have to read up on how to do that. Maybe you can explain it since you are so great? Zep already messaged me during the game and told me he was trying to meet you so you two could team up and he said I was all over the place so don't act like you two weren't talking to each other. The fact is you have been beaten by me over and over again 1v1 for 5 years. 5 ****ing years and all you can cling to is a one time 3 win streak and a multiplayer game? Go you.

Then maybe you should go back and look through the archived threads like I did and you obviously don't recall gameleague and the civfanatics ladder.

I did, I looked at the old topics in the archived civ2Mp forum. Go read. And I'm sure you just get in everyone's head right atawa? Because there is so much psychology involved in this computer game. How could you ever compare yourself on any level to me? You are beneath me.
