Idiots. Abandoning cities is a perfectly acceptable form of city defence. If you can't defend both of them, abandon the weaker one and shove the rest into the other city.

And it has been used in every single Civ 3 demogame this site has been part of, both inter and intra site. Get used to it.

Ljube, if you think that then you have no place as a general, or even being called a competant civ player.

It is part of the game, and was programmed into the game by the designers. It is therefore, not an exploit. If you don't have the ability to understand how this game works and adapt to the circumstances that arise in the game, I suggest that you shut up and watch silently, or go and read the appropiate strat threads.


But most importantly of all, I would suggest to you that you learn tact before you post here again. It will probably help you make some real friends and allies. You seem to have lost all of those that you have made so far in this game.

Abandoning indefensible towns is a tactic that has been practiced since Roman times at least, if not before that. Slash and burn... and certainly a legitamite Civ tactic as long as you're not in an Elim game (where it's impossible). It is a strategic tactic ("Resource denial") that prevents opponents from gaining from their victories.

Plato, how is calling someone an idiot any worse than calling somone a liar or a betrayer? Because I seem to recall you doing the exact same thing.

Because when I was doing it, I was in character and calling the leaders of civilizations liars and betrayers. I actually think quite highly of everyone I have met in this game and am thrilled to get to know them. Calling someone an idiot for their particular strategy in civilization is just wrong in my opinion...of course it is just my opinion.

Suffering from ads?

Calling someone an "immoral" and "sore losers" for their particular strategy (which is acceptable and legitmate!) in civilization is okay?

Those comments didn't seem to be in character either.

I have to agree with you on this as well.

I would really like to see all the personal attacks stop. Attack civs and the leaders of the civs ( as leaders of the civs), but let's lay off each other personally.

The reason I came to this game was to make friends, not enemies. I have been having great fun playing my role, but have refrained from posting for a couple of days due to the way this seems to be degenerating.

Mate, you're near to the bottom of people I would like to know any better due to your behavior in this game. I don't want to be called a betrayer either if it's in or out of character. Certainly when it doesn't seem to be all that obvious. And even more so by people I barely know, either in RL or just a game like this. This betrayer has lost quite some enthusiasm and fun in the game just because of those comments and the actual feeling of being misled in trust.

Your call for personal attacks to stop is ridiculous by your very own being. And yes I do take this image I obtained from you into other games.

Mac, that is quite a shot there.

also, these public threads are the one open place where all teams can do posturing, bragging, and mourning

Why is it that the only thing Ljube ever says is "post deleted"?

Man, I gotta get in earlier to read his juicy posts before he takes his ball and goes home

By the way, what ever happened to this:

We recalled him further lead his "The Graysvandir Brigade" in assisting the Bards in abandonning more of their cities

He seems to have a giftwith this, and we all know how much he and the Bards get along afterall.

Two more Bard cities abandoned. Poor Euphoriscian people.


Their leadership is ruthless toward their own people. But the Horde justice is coming to free what remains of the bard people after their leaders' bloody feast. The horde prosecutors and judges are also coming to set up a tribunal that will judge the bard leadership justly.

Seems there's a lot more action in the "Abandoned Towns" thread than the "Battle Reports" thread these days.

What has this game come to?
