Whats an invisible user?

You can tell the forum not to show when you're online or not (the little person icon next to your name doesn't change colour when you're online, it doesn't say on your profile page if you're online and doesn't say what you're looking at). If you do that then when you're looking at a forum it tells everyone an "Invisible user" is looking at it.

Looks like snake pick its finished:

Mackoti- Augustus of India;
Noshoot - Pacal of Egypt as i gueset long time ago.
Serdoa - Joao of Inca -hard rex.
7 - Willem of China
Gaspar team -Huyana of Mali.


How good are this picks depends alot of map,how much food .For example team gaspar if gets colosus and there are good cities to plant on coast could be very strong.If there its loads of food but no riverser and few gras then welcome Midskoti.

Another important think its how far one from another we are.If there are like 10 tiles between us and i am near gaspar and bronze its hard to get, well then I am out of game, and this way Gaspar UU could be better.If there its like in pbem 39 with big distances between capitols then gaspa UU its useles.So yeah Commodore kind of decide who gets the short stick here.

Thanks.I believed some strange fellows are lurking arround.

No save, this boys dont listen to me so they need to be punished .I presented all oponents but Seven.

Seven its my best friend here at RB,chating and playing with/against him alot.And from our discution and games I know Seven understand Civ very good. Why its Seven that good , well i can think at some reason: he listen to others and learn (I remember chating with about how strong its an early strong capitol , and an early academy and in his next games he does exaclty that and sais : man i didnt know that capitol can carry research for such a long period).
he is very carefuly at details;
he does avery good CD (i start to hate this guys,and i think this kd stuff should be forbiden)
he does understand math very good.

His pick its very strong and i asume he will build loads of cotages and libraries, its actualy very straight play with this combo and i was a litle surprized when seven got it, but i know he doesnt like playing with same leaders.
I can say safely he knows 90% of how i play(was very wise from his part to team up with me in some games,yeah learning from the best its always good )and with his micro skill i feel my victory its in danger.I just hope we will get in medieval,renaisce with him not having an advantage or maybe me getting some knigs before him and make his life miserable(in game of course).

Man , I realy want to protest against this attitude which serdoa has, loosing before playing.

T0
Played as we agreed before started a worker, moved wariour 1w,after setling(nothing great there , i dont know what seven talikg about).

Hunting? You gonna improve that Ivory before Rice?

[mackoti]

Sorry for the large pictures I will get them resised , from now one.

There is some strategie debate here about wariour, i see 2 posibilities here:

1.Keep it around, for protection so at after worker we can go stonehenge until size 3 and we get more info about our land.
2. do a deep beline and discover one of our neighbours and mess with theyr micro plans.The minus for those facts are : we dont discover so much land aroud, we can bump in Mali and make them to get some skirmishers out and if those are out must be used he he.

[plako]

I wouldn't bother with choking. Assuming normal hand-made map, distances are longish and you wouldn't be only one benefiting from the weakened neighbor. Also that forested Ivory combined with 3 food start means that they get 1st worker out fast and can therefore start building their 2nd defender quite early.

Hunting? You gonna improve that Ivory before Rice?

Well lets see if its right or not?getting to rice will be 1 turn longer,and 4 turn to actualy build the farm.As i intend to start a setler at size 2(i can change that) will not help me at all with growing.Or you think this is a bad plan?
