I had a game this evening in which a new player joined, he was making light of the fact that he was new to the ladder. I commented that we were all new once. He then pointed out that he had just been KICKED OUT of the last ladder game he attempted to join BECAUSE he was unranked. WTF?? Cant you people remember when you were new? I cant for the life of me think of a reason to kick someone out like that. It turns out he is not a half bad player. I hope he hunts all of you Anal Orifices (Orifii?) down and stomps you at some point in the future!! /end rant

Whip
I consider you to be a friend of mine, so take this as such. Where were you in July and August when you could have been working WITH the peeps at Firaxis to solve issues such as yours? I saw your name on the Beta list, I know you COULD have been there.

Off topic, But did they give the test patch to anyone with a Radeon 9550 card? Whip..im running CIV on a ATI 9000/9100 which is even BELOW min standards. I do however have a 3 gig processor and 1.5 gigs of Ram. I run on the lowest video settings, and my processor works hard to take over for the lack of my video card supporting T&L. This is a laptop, so I cannot change the video card out, I think Santa may bring me a new laptop, even though this one is less than 10 months old. I partake in lots of games with 6 - 8 peeps, I have even been in some bigger ones with up to 18 with no problems.

I try to play at least every other day, sometimes on consecutive days, and always on weekends. I will admit the last few days I have spent most of my time playing the test patch.

I think once the stable lobby is available to everyone via the upcoming patch it will make a difference. We will see a more organized recruitment effort, as well as more games listed in the lobby as opposed to using YIM et. al. to gather peeps for games.

Could this game also be patched to have a more diverse placement of civs... it seems to me that civs are a lot closer in Civ 4 than any other of it's predecessors, now I have heard and read and am getting bombarded with the concept that CIV4 is different than any previous civ and a new game/genre/experience than any previous, nevertheless, there are some things which can be improved upon. I've played several 1v1's and in every game our civs are within 20 squares of each other... and of course, the other player has horses and cows in his cap, and is able to pop two warriors each time which enter my land by turn 12 and begin their pillaging spree loads of fun! "Improvise...adapt..overcome" - Gunny Highway (Clint Eastwood) in "Heartbreak Ridge" A few days ago, someone tried to choke me with warriors. I built a few warriors in my cap and turtled em, culture got me 20 then 40% bonus def. I got archery quick, built a few archers while I was researching Bronze Working. I spotted bronze 5 tiles diagonally away from my cap, but closer to my enemy. I move 2 archers and 2 warriors and a settler out and flopped ON the bronze (the city was not ideally placed, but still) upgraded the 2 warriors to axes, and carnage began on the warriors in my area. Cleaned em out, then moved my promoted axes to return the favor!! Needless to say, I was able to get a kill on him a bit later in the game. DONT's:: Whine Cry Blame the designers GIVE UPDO's:: Examine every possible move Give the good Fight Let them KNOW you wont roll over!! "Cowards die many times before their deaths, The valiant never taste of death but once." William Shakespeare --From Julius Caesar (II, ii, 32-37) my 2 cents!!

in last game I tried highland map - and was set to a spot with ALL (2-3 grass in cap) tundra. iron and horse as strategic resourses were more then 5 tiles away from cap - so i had to get cities for em - but cities in tundra tend to not grow beyond 4 science slowed down - till it reached 0 Not True Tommy...Get those windmills up, get a single food from every hilltop!!

TG you should change your name to "Anode" because your the most negative person I have ever seen? Do you even play CIV? Or is the only reason your around is to make disparaging comments about the game?

I also believe a lot of the OOS issues are caused by Warez copies of the game out there. Another thing the first patch should clear up.

What I love most about this game, is that now with Civ4 being out, I am spending alot more time with my Family. My wife has asked me for over 2 years now "When is it gonna end? How many differnet ways can you win or lose?" I like the fact that everything is new, and it only "Reminds me" of Civ. Tell her it's like sex; unlimited variations. to which she would reply "Heroray has been eliminated"

Ozzy I think we should 1v1 again ladder game so you can add to my 9-0 win streak. There's no way in hell you'd win again. You are incredibly lucky you won that one. you quit the ladder with a 2-7 record..now you miraculously claim to be 9-0? how does that happen? I dont see you on the ladder...hmmm.

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't fast units good for pillaging? And since terrain improvements paly such a huge part in this game it's really easy to run around pillaging. I like harassing while I build up. In the long run Iron is probably more valuable. Bring your horses to pillage..my spears will do em ..I LIKE the points for the easy kills.
