Sorry not being intelligent enough, and thanks for showing us how intelligent people post.

But my point was that you just simply stated that the first one to HG wins. Is this a contest or a succession game? You really don't have to be that brief. IMO.

So eyes won... congrats.

But to claim that HG is the only factor is not proved by a single game... I've had games in duels where I've had it and won... and games where I've had it and gotten killed... HG is only one element. Good land, or excellent luck with huts are also key elements... because they can make or break a game just as much as having or not having HG

Plus, if you get beat to HG... nothing says you can't just go and take it from your opponent

LH and pyramids are both better then HG, hg is a pretty useless early wonder. Its fun building it when playing players who don't know how to expand without it.

I wouldn't call HG useless... but you can play without it.

too bad we can´t test eyes´ claim anymore, which is -as I think- as daring as my challenge to him was. he told me he will never play any deity games anymore.

but so it be, one can´t force people to their luck.

I am talking about 1x 1x here. In 2x most wonders are useless. because you would get way further ahead creating trade routes with those cara's

HAHAHA!!! Ok Markus, you want to play it that way? First we'll play 2x2x, don't even build any wonders and lets see if you can beat me. Then lets play deity 1x1x and I'll let you have pyramids and lighthouse. I get HG and mikes though. Still think you can win? Ask woke and Oedo what lighthouse did for them.

I was replying to ming and his settings. On 2x 1x diety pyramids is useless, SOL is useless, bachs is useless. Now in a MP game it doesn't matter to much if you get happies or not, where as in a duel it gives a huge advantage to your production and attacking abilities.

Last time we played your civ completely self destructed when you didn't get HG.

"Last time we played your civ completely self destructed when you didn't get HG."

Exactly. You have to have HG in order to win. And in order to get HG first you have to have the better science. That game you had whales and everything around you. Your capital was a whale anda pheasant. Your second and third cities had whales. My city had wheat and forest. The only whale I had was 10 squares away. Whoever has the better science gets HG first, whoever has HG first wins the game. I rest my case.

I think he means deity games.

The way I see it HG is useful in MP 1x deity games but not crucial to victory. In duels the balance changes towards Eyes' statement, but there are other happy wonders; Mikes can come quite early, and unless the land is very mismatched one player shouldn't get both.

pyramids help both the pre WLT*D and the post WLT*D

If I got the Pyramids on deity x1x1,you'll never get Mike. And even if you do (highly improbable) I'll have Bach.
