The Antisocial Team

[Ichabod]

I feel that we are being underestimated by the other players. This means we start with an advantage already. We are two no names trying to make a name for ourselves, in a journey of spiritual and physical development. We aren't like these aristocratic, casted by their traditions.

It's a pity that the strategy conversation with the lurkers stopped. I was having a good time meditating about the points brought forward.

What? No aristofarms?

This will be a journey of learning. You are invited to join us.

Here's a piece of wisdom:

1. If you are not teching, it doesn't matter which city works the cottage.

[mackoti]

1. If you use only 4/5 cities for cottages, what kind of benefits can you get from the other cities? I hope I'm not sounding too stupid with this question, but I have some kind of point.

You see, apart from Graanry/Forge/Courthouse, that give benefits that don't rely on commerce produced by the city, what can a non-cottage city give to the empire? I'm guessing:

I wanted to ask you at this question but i got sick, so i hope its good latter too(and Btw i've seen your talking about how fluent english,hope you excuse mine).So there are 2 kind of playing first one :
-getting more and more cotages which you have to work of course build a very solid lead, but you could find that you depend too much on others if they atack ( dont remeber if was a diplomacy game),this kind of play its good with some strong Nap.
-getting 4-5 cities with alot of science(in your case cottages),and the other for diferent porpouse:
-you want 2-3 cities big when run golden age so you can hire loads of scientistst or other type of great people(after golden age can whipe to get loads of units very fast)
-you want 2-3 cities if posible with strong production(when not getting units, which you will need, can get workers setlers,or build wealth and that way your cottages cities can get a higher slider and gave a better return)

I will continu latter wife sent me to walk kidd.

Thanks for the answer, Mackoti. Don't worry about your english, I can understand you fine and I think it has improved a lot since youve joined the site.

I appreciate all the help you can give.

Litle girl sleeping lets carry on this

- you want filies cities to work cotages for other cities and which can be whip with no mercy when necesary.this way you have the power and dont depend on others,but you can say i will fall behind becasue of having less cottages, here comes the deal : playing this way you can be agresiv way sooner and you the best units for an agresion from entire game Knigs(oh i frgot you have practs).Usualy people likes to take some other things to research and for a cottage civ makes sens PP doest it? so you get the techs for practs. get your cities big enough so you can whip, but you'll not whip cottages but farm which will grow bac very soon and go and kill someone.
For example in pbme 23 yuris discoverd guilds 2 turns faster than me, after 6 turns he had like 9 practs maybe more me after 4-5 turns discovering guilds i had near 40, thats the difernec between preparing for a tech discovering and not,with 40 prsct he could run over sian in like 8-10 turns.if you falow any of my games with that litle report youl see knigs have an high estemeb 9,pb23,pb29 , and mostly of my duels.I consider here at RB best era to atack in free for all pbem or always war are knigs and you cave uber ones.

About oracle: from my experience its a big no:actualy i dint builded in any of my pbems , and the only places wher i seen that useful was in 29 where indeed Seven and Novoce used it very well.Getiing mids with an engineer from oracle without Philo its costing you more than you get back.Why i said that:you have to delay your first scientist for an acdemy which getting fast i realy belive its a strong move and with financial even stronger.Yuo have to get an uber capitol if you can for buro and 3 ,4 more cities with cotages for a very strong reserch.But what we do with the rest of cities which we whip and not cotaged,well there is state propercy for workshops .BUt playing this way you have to be agresiv all the time and use yuor prod adavantage and flexibility to get more teritory.

About people considering you not very good, well they will do the mistake just first remember how they talked about me in pbem 9 the victory was even more sweet.

You say us to play with no wonder?And you build that many in yours game?

no way, best use of Imperialist its taht the start ist very fast and very flexible and you can gain some adavantage and usualy on the maps are plenty resource of calendar..., you get it MoM yes, which second strong wonder from the game, Taj would be nice but with your plan to anihilate someone( i supose its that) its out of book but still you'll have more land so more tiles to be blessed by golden age.

Thanks again, Mack! That's amazing advice. Of course, now comes the hard part of playing the game.

I definetely consider a Phract attack. Hopefully we have a no musketman UU player nearby.

[Ichabod]

By the way, mack, have you lurked the other threads yet? We could use you as a ded-lurker!

[Ichabod]

By the way, DaveV, this picture is perfect:



I will change my leader name to Stupendous Man, both here and on PB7. I really liked it!

Good luck!
