Okay Troll. I think I understand, but my email address is quinn2084@msn.com if you would like to explain further. Your land sucks, and Dimytes land is beautiful! Is that about right? A very common complaint. Try using the Dual-Duel option (see notes in challenge ladder) to get rid of this 'no fair land' problem.

Cheers

Note 8: The Dual-Duel format makes for a fair game. It completely equalizes the starting positions -- Two games started simultaneously on the same randomized map with starting positions swapped. First one to win a game wins the match. Use this format if you wish. If you do use this dual-duel format, it is recommended that you do NOT use the 4XPG (mentioned in note 7 above), victory condition because one civilization may have a much better starting position.

Not a very good measure of skill either, you could ask someone to make you a map that is some what equal.

I could do it for you if you like. I am not talking about a customized one, just as equal as it gets and tested. Example would be one on swamp and one with mountains and rivers. That's a bad map no I would ensure both have good starting positions.

Just email me with the subject line: Map Please,
add all players emails and I will do my best to have it out in a week ok?

Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

keygen suggested I post here to see if someone would like to play me in non-challenged games. I want to play it a little different though. I start the game and use the cheat mode and set it up like this. First I make sure we are both in a position that is equal in value. my basic place for setting my opponent is to choose the site on the board I would like most to have and put him there, of course feel free to describe what you like and I will make it, then I set mine (don't ask milamber, I messed up his once and his postion sucks and mine is great, but he insisted we contimue playing). Next I put down a city size 3 and 10 settlers. Next I bring the advances up to the level around cavalary, musketeer, cannon, SOL range and add about 8 more for the AI's. Next I give us PW of 2 mil, and gold of 5 mil. I do it this way because I want to fight and I don't want to play for 3 months before we have the ability to do it, no slur intended. I like fighting on the marine, intercepter, tank kind of level and this lets us do it quick. So I take the money and rush buy the city improvements to get science up and keep happiness and production at good levels as well as buying the army to use. I like to play the game in its pure form as well, but I also like to do it in this way for fun and stomping. Imagine what you could do with your empire if money was not an object and you could use PW at will. So while you still have to build your empire the proper way, you can have a little more fun fighting sooner. Okay I am a warmonger and I actually like it when I lose becasue I learn from my losses. Doesn't mean I always learn well, but I do learn, smile. Also, pollution off, bloodlust on, no wonders, no nukes. If you would like to play a game like this with me then email me at yosemiteken@aol.com.

Sounds interesting, dancemasseuse. My ticket is full right now, but I think someone else will be happy to play. If you don't get a response soon, try changing it to a challenge match. Participants on this thread are used to playing challenge matches.

6. Chlg 6 TheBirdMan vs. Lung; Started Aug-2002 -- In progress.

Turn 203: Though the Australian managed to get a small outdated navy ‘round my forces and could I call it “invading” the land I took from them long ago. They have even dared to retake a small city. Well, their luck will soon run out.

A single facist, who was beamed down to an Australian ruin from I-do-not-know-where is dead and the American armed forces are invading Australia from east, west and north. A new type of trooper called Marines are supporting the offensive at land and destroyers will soon appear at sea.


45. Chlg 45 TheBirdMan vs. Mieciofok; Started Feb-2003 – Game Halted.

Turn 132: Game halted. Have not received anything or seen any post from Mieciofok since mid-July. He does not reply on mails.


46. Chlg 46 TheBirdMan vs. ricketyclik; Started Mar 2003 -- In progress.

Turn 281: I have killed my AI long time ago, but it seems like Rickety has great problems with his even though I have given him a few advances . Does he need some more help?

Well he can ask then, the English AI is his problem (unless it turns angry at me when I in the near future are going to build a wormhole probe). Meanwhile I am building my nation up as I like a CTP-nation should look like – only very few (if any) unnessesary cities (cities with no tradegoods), terraforming the nature maximizing the outcome for production and growth, keeping the large cities clean and the population happy, trying to control the pollution (only a small flooding has happened yet) – and most important. Going for my first Alien Victory………


57. Chlg 57 Azreal vs. TheBirdMan; Started (Can't remember) -- In progress.

Turn 89: The Roman nation has at last broken its isolation. Longships are now crossing the sea with colonists looking for suitable land for new settlements and armed forces, spreading the power of Rome to the (un)known parts of this world.


63. Chlg 63 Mathemagician vs. TheBirdMan; Rematch started July 2003 -- In progress.

Turn 84: Both the human nations are far behind in the PG, only 1 of 6 AIs is giving us a little company – but I guess we will catch up with the big ones later (we use to do so). Else not much to report here. Not yet.

Of course you can join! Just state your Country of Residence (USA I would guess... but you never know unless you ask! ) and Best AI Defeat (BAID) level. I'll record your game on the challenge ladder, once that's done.

Welcome Protoss72000

Well, seeing how I have learned yet another lesson, (Yes Pete-Blackice) I already learned something in PBEM, such as how to "flood" settlers out like a baby wabbit factory, (WTG Dimytes!!)

I am available if an opening is needing a replacement, although I must admit, I hate the thought of going into a contest facing any opponents who want to give me an @R$E W{-}@@PING!!(Without a chance of defense that is!!)

Let me know if anyone still needs a permanent sub and Ill have a go at it!!

Peace
