Quote:I see the early land-grab move all the time in the non-ladder MP games I play. Players who are less experienced in MP are obsessed with sealing off borders, and run their 2nd or 3rd city way up in their opponent's face, without proper defense, and waste tons of worker turns getting in position...

I hope the dramatic irony won't be lost on Byzantium after this game is over and they get to read the other threads.

@Dazed - As speculation is fun: I think the long term results will be a super powered expansive/organized IKZ with tons of land.
