easy solution - ban ren teamers Brennus (and mongolia of course) can counter both Isabella and Russia. He's very underrated. Hehe not really

Ok we played the 5v5 with the suggested modifications and it was an absolute blast! Nothing was banned, we alternated picks and civs. Captain 1 picked a player first, giving captain 2 Russia and the second pick. The picks and civs alternated until we had 10 unique civs/leaders ( I civ per game). Most in game seemed to really enjoy it. Whether or not they liked having Russia back was mixed, those cossacks are real powerful. Plus the team with Russia also got Spain (as captain 1 went with Ghandi, when it came time for his first civ. All in all a great time, although it takes a little longer in staging to get this game going. I recommend all of you try this type of ren teamer, sure beats the ole boring same civs build cav stack kill games some people will only play! ;D yeah that was fun

Not bothered about Conquistadors, their main strength is the fact the get defensive bonuses, so if you manage to get on on a forested hill near an enemy city they are a real pain..

Longhorn,
You were a thingy in Illuminati. You're a thingy now. f**k off and go play an era you enjoy, on settings you enjoy, and we'll stick to playing the eras we like to play.
If you see us in a game and decide you don;t want to play with us, so be it, cos I definately do the same thing when I see you in a game.
BTW, you learnt how to stop n00bing it up yet?

If there's one thing you can learn about real life from civ....it's that DRAMA is a really crap thing to research!!

I dunno, but it would be nice if Napolean was Aggressive again. He'd be helpful vs those dang conqs. You could at least have a chance against them.

I think you always have a chance against Conquistadors with or without Aggressive France . However, you do bring up a great point that Aggressive Musketeers brought out a whole other dimension with Conquistadors and Knights alike -- players were forced to put Pinch on some of their units. These in turn could be defeated by Combat II Knights. This promotion variety certainly made the early game much more interesting.

At least I can post something and admit when I'm wrong, but thanks for posting and showing your true colors. Your a true class act and now every single person on the ladder can see just what a classy guy you are. I do not play games with you, you aren't on my buddy list, so I don't understand what point you are trying to make- except my own point for me. And thanks Mookie, will I be seeing more posts from your clan memebers like this? I made a suggestion, that Spain should be banned in REN teamers because they are imbalanced. You are free to agree or disagree with that. IMO they are unbalanced as much as Russia is, agree, disagree, or have no opinion (period).

LOL, Longhorn.
You remember when Illuminati disintergrated? You remember speaking to me over the buddy list in the Civ4 lobby, the one that you claim I ain't your buddy on?
You remember what you said?
"Atleast you aren't going to those slows in RaY like Gogf and Speaker" - Longhorn.
I'm suprised someone as biased as you is allowed to be a ladder admin. It doesn't set a good example to other people when someone as you is such a biased prick.

It doesn't set a good example to other people when someone as you is such a biased prick. ******************** Obviously the high ground doesn't work with you. And yeah, maybe 6-9 months ago when illuminati was going inactive i might have sent you a pm which required you to be on my list. I haven't talked to you ever since. I definitely haven't played a game with you since a long long time, but i think its because you always quit staging when it isn't on your exact map and a future. And my not on buddy list statement referred to anything even remotely recent as in before warlords came out- the problem I have with banning Russia nad not Spain only happened weeks ago with the patch. Oh wait, next weekend is CCC, isn't it time for you to withdraw from the ladder again. Have you ever contributed anyting to any clan you were a part of in any CCC? As far as biased as an admin, becomming an ladder admin does not mean you can't have an opinion. I have not made it a crusade to clamp down on all of the duplicate accounts you and your cronies play under, if I went out of my way to do that- that might be an example of biased. I have not taken on administrative action against you or any member of your clan- so where are these biased actions you speak of. If being biased in your opinion is not liking you, well thats true, but really I never think of you at all- that was until you threw your little attention grabbing temper tantrum in here. You know, little men like you would make many people question why they would volunteer their time to help run a ladder. Thankfully, there are many good people that play the game here, like eiffel and Nero and even people in your clan like ironclad and gogf and lordelgis that make it all worth while. So go ooze back under that rock you live under with the other slime. You have nothing constructive to add to this or any other discussion. And we don't need you trying to reignite a situation that was on its way to long over.

longhorn, we never had any issue, but i am obbliged to share this.
i think that your "diplomacy" is wearing thin, you have suffered some attacks, in this instance perhaps saying nothing at all is better, doesnt make ya look so "young"
dont ever let them see ya sweat, especially in positions of power

And thanks Mookie, will I be seeing more posts from your clan memebers like this? Why drag me into this mess again? Seriously, what do I have to do with this post? Sure, Krill is my friend and in the same clan as I am, but I don't proofread everything my friends post, nor do I edit their posts for content. Even so, I can't blame anyone in RaY for being upset with you for the comments you made. You may have deleted them after a short while and hidden them from most everyone on the ladder, but they were certainly up there long enough for us to see them and be offended by them. If you are going to post such vile hate like that, prepare to deal with the crap people are going to say to you back -- I guarantee you that you can't get away with such hurtful words that you said without any kind of retribution. Can you honestly expect anything different from "pompous arrogant demeaning demanding" people such as us? I'm sure that everything will blow over and all will be forgotten and forgiven in due time, if you're willing to give it some time. However to expect this to be immediate is pretty silly.
