I'm not sure how useful a strategy is if it's limited to only head-to-head, 2x2x, 3 billion year games on the first turn. Great, you've narrowed your opponent's possible location to a certain third of the map. Tossing a pat of butter at your monitor would be just as accurate...

First of all I am sean leitzinger among many other names. Woke if I'm such an idiot why have you suddenly backed out of our 2 on 2 game? And I knew the hut pattern when I first bought civ2. it's one of the first things I learned. You keep trying to take me on but in reality you're still learning stuff that I knew when I first bought the game. As for it only working in head to head, it works in just about any setting. Just depends on how good you are at it and the situation. Lets face it, there is nobody on apolyton or anywhere else that is going to beat me. If you can't get the strat to work that's not my problem, I have done very well by it. I know things about this game you could never possibly imagine.

Eyes, take your tiring ego masturbation elsewhere. This thread is about the Great Library that we've put together, ideas to add, discussion about relevant topics. You had an idea, stick to the topic. Better yet, start another thread about it, and let the discussion and dissing roll there. When you're done bragging and puffing your chest, post the summary of your repetitive monologues here, maybe they'll get added to the index.

true, i am still learning things. i will stop playing this game when i dont. but i doubt very much that you can find huts as fast as i can. face it, you simply arent smart enough to figure out how to implement it into the game. I could out manouvre you in the battlefield even when i didnt know this already and you were suppost to know this all? please...

it will in NO case take longer then 5 turns before i know where all huts and resources are located on the map. Combine that with the ocean/ continent check, and you have optimum exploring. In fact, it will look like you opened the map on a different computer.

I think that makes this game pretty useless in playing. I seriously dont believe you have achieved this level already or will ever.

lol I have never been banned and I never will. I'm following the rules whether you like it or not. And species, if that were the case, why do you have only 3 wins against me? I stopped counting my wins at 13 or 14. You completely ignore me when I ask about our 2 on 2 that you challenge me and markus to. Did those 4 losses in a row to markus shut you up? Did I also mention that I have never lost to markus on 1x1x? lol You are pathetic man. You can't hold a candle to me. And I posted that strat here because that is what species is basing his strategy on. He's just throwing the hut pattern into it. When you get right down to it, he doesn't know ****. It's why he always has and always will lose to me.

Obviously he has some real issues. I have to disagree with ST, tho. Some people manage to be jerks in an entertaining way, but he is just annoying. Notice how all his posts try to turn discussion away from the thread topic and onto him? Nary a mention of what's really at hand, just a play to steal attention. It's always the same old schlock. Me, me, me, ain't I great, you people suck, yadda yadda yadda. Yawn.

The only way to get rid of him is to ignore him, something I should have done earlier in this thread - but he teased us by mentioning something that might be worth discussing. O well. What he doesn't seem to understand is that people keep quitting on him not because he is a superior player, but because he is such an insufferable ***** that he spoils any fun to be had. Cheers, SG1, leave this discussion to the adults on the forum!

i was never revering to your strategy. i implied the possibility of finding your oponent with the demographics, but i hardly think that is a suitable strategy. really, what do i need with a 30% or 70% possibility a resource is somewhere? thats plain nonsense. its saying there is a 50% possibility it will rain in autumn. or 20% snow in the winter. Will you change your shopping schedule because of that?

no, if you read my posts for once, maybe you can learn something from it eyes. i was saying that hut pattern is related to resource pattern. and when you implement this well, you will know where all the huts are pretty soon in the game.

lol Which is why you will always win 1 game for every 5 or 6 I win. This game is all about percentages and the highest percentage of play. It dictates when to go all out and when to play conservative. You can get all the huts you want, unless those huts give you one hell of a start you aren't going to beat me. It's what separates me from strategicking and all the others over the years. It's why I'm still at the top after 2 years.

He also uses hate posts and uses vilification, but still he posts..

Sorry for entering this in the GL thread but just read through this and thought my opinion need ed to be added..

Just a proposition. I recently told an old friend of mine and a very very occasional civers about succession games and he enjoyed very much the reading. Should not the threads be indexed, I would be glad to re-read easily all the crazy commentaries. Some of it were real fun, and some of them would have deserved to be in a book. What's more, there's quite a few things to learn by reading them.
So I suggest that under the category "succession games", we can find links for all the finished one (some are in 2 parts).
Does anyone think it is a good idea.
For me, it's really a part of the wisdom and history of the Apolyton Community

Succession game entries in the index Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

I don't think it would be good to link the numerous succession game threads in the GL index. There are too many, it would clutter the index.

What would work is something akin to the Info: threads. Make a new thread, the sole purpose of which is to provide links to the succession game threads. Maybe provide a short description of each game and why it is being logged (good strategy, humorous, etc). Link this summary thread in the GL Index as a one-stop listing of all the succession games. There are many in the Spanish site forum, too.

Sounds good to me. Marquis, my idea was to put the succession games on the board, not to make too technical of a proposition. Yeah, I could start one topic asking everybody to help me find the links in the differents sites. Then, I could make the real one (the one that would be linked), starting with a little general explanation of what succession games are and then the list of the SG (it’s not the Gits that I mean) with a brief description of the adventure. It doens’t sound good, it sounds great. I do it immediatly in the general civ2 Forum. Feel free if you to do it elsewhere if you know any good other places. (Or let me know it and I’ll do it myself).

trade error?? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

seems like I found an error in the trade-arrow calculations(scrolls of wisdom)
I used Civ2.42 for a test and I could only conclude that there is NO modifier for trade between 2 different continents
Also does it seem that 2 cities connected by roads means that the road must go along the path the computer would choose.

and a little addition
every square that has roads also has railroads,so this gives +50% for the roads +50% for the railroads(and you only see your RR)this is somewhat confussing)

the game I used can be found in the thread "Zero trade"
I would really like someone else also to test these ideas.
(just to be sure)
more info about my conclusions can be found in "Zero trade"

thx
