Are you trying to imply that I cheat?

you know, i haven't made a post in a while. i've been sitting back and reading all this BS , and trying to figure out what the hell i was doing in gameleague.
when i first joined gameleague, things weren't this bad, Roc_Master started a tribe with mokers help called the Sayen Tribe. things were looking interesting, a new way to play an old game, sounded like fun. until the sh*t hit the fan, Roc left for Japan, the Sayen slowly started to crumble, even with Species/Woke's valiant attempt to save it. the disinterest of our Super Sayen-Moker, and the proven cheating of an original member Darkstorm, dealt the crippling blow that ended the tribe.
i joined a new tribe, an actual honorable tribe, with good, care\ing people, who "just wanted to play", no BS. that all was fine and dandy until the archies withheld valuable info about the map they hosted on. no way to prove it, just like the edited rules.txt of eyes. still a major blow to the stability of tribes. eyesofnight openly admitted that Kuja was a former cheater to me via ICQ, then denied it.
gameleague deserves to die, due to the non-participating administrators, and the loss of key players. cheating in the game is not the main problem, the people who play it are. for the most part, apolyton players are the type of players we were looking to play against, unfortunatly, the gameleague crowd has now moved to apolyton, thus corrupting the boards with gameleague BS.
in a nutshell, gameleague and apolyton are no longer separated, they are one, and i apologize to the core members of apolyton for that fact.
welcome back roc, some people here have changed for the better...

well i haven't played eyes in a while, so i don't know his recent tendencies. but i would like to think i can build with the best of them, so for me it's a fast monarchy going horseback,ceremonial,alpha,code,monarchy. by getting a govt. faster than your opponent, that is a huge advantage b/c of the increase in resource production. when i say max resources, it really depends on what resources you have. when i'm building a settler, i try to get it out as fast as i can. and when you build your early cities, you want to build to the resources and fill in the holes later. what else... oh yeah, on king there is little need to defend your cities as long as you have exploratory units out. and if you do need to put guys in there to prevent unhappiness, just use warriors, they only cost maybe 2 turns at the most. hope this helps, ICQ me if you want lessons

Ras I only build about 4 horsemen the entire game. One of the keys to my success is that I"m able to make those horsemen last for so long while at the same time I'm able to force my opponent to over build early on. That's why you always see my opponent with his cities fortified because I'm always taking out undefended cities. But that then slows their expansion down incredibly. The key isn't to search out and destroy, the key is to trick your opponent into doing what you want to gain an advantage. All I need to win a game is a slight advantage and that's all I work towards. If someone gets destroyed early on, it's not because I went out to destroy them, it's because they weren't good enough to hold me off.

I never build on a resource, never. I always build my cities on a grassland square next to the resource. The first horseman is built within the first 4 turns of the game. I build 1 warrior before the horseman while I'm reseraching horsebackriding. I usually have all the horsemen I need by 3500BC. What sets me apart from the rest is that I can make those horsemen last the entire game alot of times. Also, if you just throw down cities anywhere you aren't going to be able to do it. They have to be using the right resources at the right time and positioned a certain distance from your capital at the correct time, along with other things.

Eyes certainly does not cheat if that's what you were implying. There are many factors that contribute to his skill, but mainly it involves: maximizing your resoureces, good early city locations, building only settlers/horses/warriors, and getting a fast government. He says he knows "other secrets to the game" but these are the essential ones that you should concentrate on without having to hurt your brain thinking too much 
when you say max resources are you referiing to max sheild? max trade? a balance ? i know in these trial games of mine only build setters/ warriors till i discover horse then send them out too. in regard to good early city, does he wander settler around to find good city spot or just build a city as quick as possible..
