Ok seriously, you did fix some serious MP issues and that was a job well done, the actual gaming experience is a lot better. BUT!!!!!
congratulation, Gandhi is now a God in every era after ancient, I just tested a few theories and this game is seriously unbalanced.

1) Good Job Finally
2) Thank god they did nuts like * Hooking up modern whaling boats, and not tried to fix worthless things like preventing stackable bonuses for Universal Sufferage and Free speech. I mean who the f**k really uses those worthless civics in a teamer game. It is better that I get to see real whaling boats.

First off, this is a pretty big find and people just dont "see" its potential yet.
Second off, This is in fact an "Exploit" and not a loophole in the strategy/balance structure of the game. I don't use exploits, but due to the tragedy of the commons, I fear that many will use this one and this is going to dramatically affect the front line warfare of the game to the advantage of the attacker ofcourse.

Two cows are standing in a field.
One looks over to the other and says, "You know, I am really scared of what I have been hearing about Mad Cow Disease."
The other looks back and says, "Why do we have to worry, we're Helicopters."
Thats pretty much all I have to say on this topic.

Well people, this is your good friend MrGameTheory signing off and here to say goodbye.
It has been a fantastic journey and I would like to thank you all for making this game such a wonderful experience.
Sadly I must move on with my life and begin the next chapter in it.
This game has marked an end to my serious gaming career. I came to Civ 4 to learn as much as possible in the most efficient and enjoyable way and sadly I have for filled my goal and finally learned the ultimate lesson I hoped to receive.
It is amazing to think that I have played this game for almost a year and I would like to thank each and every person I have interacted with for adding to my gaming experience.
Some may view this as just a game where people come to relax and enjoy themselves, but for myself, it was a testing ground and tutor for strategy which can and will be applied to for filling my goals in life.
To my Clan, I wish you the best of luck. You have the potential to win CCC and if you organize yourselves and practice, instead of goofing around like we always do, I am sure you will grab the title. I am leaving Vindicator In charge of recruitment, Kaz in charge of PR and clan organization, NotAGoodName in charge of all CCC related matters, and Rupman as the clan Mascot.
To the ladder, I hope that you grow and become a strong and competitive ladder.
Even though I will be leaving the Civ 4 world, I will be available on my AIM at "MrGameTheory" Feel free to drop me a line anytime.
It has been a pleasure and an honor and I thank you all.

Sidhe, this is a thread about tommynt not playing and you completely changed it on a tangent which should of never occurred. I have seen people post before about you doing this, but i never read your comments all the way through before, but I read this one and let me say that you need to not change the direction of thread so dramatically, the world doesn't revolve around you and it sucks to have threads dramatically change, even ones as worthless as this one. This is a unilateral conversation and I will never read this thread again, I am making this sacrifice so you can read what was written here and take it in and use it to find an alternative mode of enjoyment or means to be the center of attention, you dont want to be the person who is known for saying worthless random things that don't relate to the thread because it wont matter if you write a paragraph or a page, no one will read it except for 0-20 people tops and that is being mathematically generous and just taking probability into account. Just chill on other peoples threads on information not related to the topic and if you want to share some information like this start your own thread. I also make comments about the game and express anger at certain things, but I always start another thread when I do that and you should do the same........

If a player Quits on their team in the middle of a game, especially one they are winning, and for stupid reasons, they should be banned from the ladder following a report from their team mates. I just got out of 2 of the most pathetic scenarios and I am very upset at a certain person I am not going to say (their names), but I will never be on my team as that person again and they are complete garbage in my book. I was forced 2 play 2 teamer games with the person. The First game I played with them they lost their capital in (7) turns. The second game, our team was winning by an insane amount of points. and were out tecing and producing our enemy and he just quits because he doesn't like to play heads up against a certain other another player. Words cant describe the anger in being forced to quit a game you have spend a lot of time on and are supposed to easily have won...........................

Riflemen should be able to kill cossacks period, by allowing cossacks to be the most powerful unit On the board except redcoats for such a ridiculous amount of time, It creates the most unbalanced settings up until infantry which is unacceptable. If you understand the entire setting of ren you soon realize that cossacks are not only the most unbalanced unit in the game pound for pound, but it actually seems as if the cossack was designed to completely ruin Ren games.
In my opinion. Cossacks Should have their strength Lowered to 14. They should be allowed to still slaughter Calvary, and take most cities, but they should deffinitly die at the hands of riflemen and musket men defending highly fortified cities. To even allow the cossack to have 16 strength would make it even with riflemen and make it the strongest unit till infantry. When A unit is so strong that it will still maintain its ultimate fury when 2 strength points are taken from it, you may have a serious balance issue.
This has been on my top 5 balance issue list for some time. If possible, make this change in the next patch.

The only unit that can faze a cossack is a red coat, the unit is extremely unbalanced, but at the same time, so are red coats and most other units in their era and thats kind of the point, but I would say that of every military unit for every era, Russia's special unit is the most superior on a value scale...

Thank you Sidhe for the example...
Here is Sidhe, never played a teamer with me before. He in turn bases his opinion of me on another player. He in turn makes a negative comment about me based on the opinion he derived from another persons claim. And so the chain continues. The game doesn't revolve around me, the game revolves around the captain of a team and I am generally the captain, without the captain organizing the whole game and people listening, than the team Will lose. You go and think you are talking in general terms about people who bark orders or are asses, but you are indirectly associating that with me and people in turn form an opinion of me. This is what general happens, 1 newbie had an opinion of me which was formed out of their incompetence, 5 people read that and associate me with the negativity and it multiplies with every person and by the end of the thread I am hated by 10 people who have formed an opinion of me based on nothing.
Why do I care? Because every time I go into a game with new players I have to work up hill in getting their cooperation and A person I have never seen or met in my life who reads these peoples comments already has friction with me and it makes it hard to work on a team with them and in a sense their negative perception of me becomes a self for filling prophesy which creates tension between me and that player.
And in terms of taking this game seriously... I am sitting in front of a computer monitor for 3+ hours, I am not just going to go and lose a game, or lose when I can just as easily win. And to those people who say they don't care when they lose when they could of won are full of nuts. People say I take this game seriously when I bark orders when I have a 30 second timer looming over my head and I don't have time to say please or explain why I need something at that moment when if people were working together every turn I wouldn't have to keep explaining things. You follow the tec tree of the captain, if you want to contribute some kind of insight than make your claim, but not until after you have already chose the tec of the captain. If your captain asks you for something in the game, don't just immediately argue with him because you have enemies close to you, analyze what he is saying instead of forcing him to say it 5 times, because any good captain will analyze the board before he makes an order and he is probably taking into account your enemies. But when I generally bark orders at people it isn't when they are being attacked by people and I am being selfish and asking them to kill themselves in order to save me, i bark orders because they are just building or stacking or using a worker to build a mine they are never going to use in the first place. When you get in games with the better players you need full team work and these people who have to much pride to work together have no place in a teamer game. I organize the players on my team together, and some of the time people don't help me when I am getting attacked by multiple people and it forces me to take their attention by spamming commands across the screen...

Wow this guy has some audacity, First and for most, if you would of done your job, military units would never have reached me from across the board. Maybe if you would have listened you wouldn't have lost that forward city which was a stupid move to have placed in the first place, i was being 2v1 for most of the game and you probably gave me less than 7 military units. Than magically when tommy decided to focus on you and leave me alone you dropped like a child and I had to send over around 40 military units to defend your cities, so maybe you should slow your roll and be lucky that you were on my team, because lets be real, without me on your team you will probably never win a top 20 person game again And you will never be on my team again with that personality so take a picture of the rank you had a few days ago because it wont be going back up for awhile. You think you are something special and obviously you knew who I was and wrote what you did above because of what the haters on the board say and not because of how I acted in the game, so go ahead and try to be something. You were my neighbor and you are supposed to help me when I am being 2v1 and I shouldn't have to depend on military help from the TX guy who was 20 Squares away. You think you are something special for lasting 50 turns on Tommy's front door, but you only lasted because he was trying to kill me along with red phoenix. And you are lucky I even responded to your comment (Who the hell are you again?). I am just getting sick of new people who go with the masses and flame because everyone else does and not because of what I write. If people did a lot more open thinking instead of flaming we would accomplish more, by all means find one instance in a game or these boards where I talked nuts to someone before they talked nuts to me, or said something that wasn't justified to be said. When you start a thread or a discussion in a condescending or ignorant fashion, please believe I am going to respond in a justified way, and to people like Arma, for the love of god you are a damn newbie man (If you are an admin there is no reason why you should modify this comment because arma posted what he did above and obviously meant it at me and it wasn't modified, and there is no reason to single out what I just said because (Its me) and do anything to this paragraph, because it is justified and in response to a flame.) There is a reason why Tommynt paused the game and said he wouldn't go on with your damn animations, its because people don't want to sit there and lag for combat, I mean you didn't even know what the hell you were doing half the game and it took you 10 minutes to figure out how to f**king enable quick combat or auto promote... And another note, there is a reason why the last 10 teamers I have played in I have been teamed up on by 2-3 opponents, and its kind of the reason why I dont like playing teamers, but to you shmucks who team up on me, you usually lose so just keep on doing what your doing because I will gladly take a hit and lose a city if it means my team will win. And for people on my team, I am not saying I am God and I am invincible, but when I scream out things in caps its because I need help and obviously whatever the hell your doing isn't doing the damn job and you better listen, when I am being teamed up on 3v1 and you are my closest teammate, that doesn't mean you start building the f**king stone hedge, or a settler or another worker or the f**king pyramids, it means you f**king instantly go to warriors or archers and give me help instead of me taking huge hits, I do my part in games and than some, but you kids out there who play on my team think you are the nuts because you have more points in the teamer, when in reality if you were the one being teamed up on, you would be dead and the team would be forced to resign because of the impossibility of winning....... You don't like taking orders from me when you are on my team and you are not doing what you are supposed to be doing? Than get the f**k out of my game and go find a game with newbies who will accept a defeat openly, because I am perfectly down with teamwork and giving support and keeping my mouth shut and not saying a word, but thats only if the people on my team know what the hell they are doing..............

There is no need to lie to people... You have not played me only 4 times and beaten me all 4 times. We have played 5 games. I beat you in our only 1v1 You beat me in our only 2v2 You beat me in out only 3v3 I beat you in our only 4v4 You beat me in ccc (You only won the ccc because lord dragon was ejected from the game and he would of killed you if he woulda stayed, and the 3v3 because you pitched me against you and your clan and I was with 2 players who wouldnt work together or listen to my guidence) (Not going to even bring in the no resource luck in the 2v2) Please refrain from trying to look cool by lieing to a room full of high ranked players, by saying I shouldn't join the game because you have beaten me 4 times and 4 was enough and you don't need to play me anymore, because it will get back to me. If you don't like me to play in a game out of fear of losing your win streak or you think I am an ass, that is fine, but take the proper course of action when you do it. Thanks.. Sincerely, Mr Game Theory PS. How embarrassing to get caught in a lie

LOL, wow haha Considering its impossible to get a game with you outside a 3v3 - 4v4, or a setting that you feel you have the advantage in, please believe that your reputation is just that. Single Unit entire game? I was bringing in more Tec alone, than your entire Team combined lol, check out the save if you need that one verified. And On top of that I was Pumping graf units the entire game if you were wondering his unlimited supply of military units. But to top off everything,"Taking credit for the work of my team mates" This is a very disappointing comment from you. Not only was I micro managing my own Civilization, and that Newb you through on my team ( Seriously, every turn I told him what to do exactly)(Might I add he didn't even know much of the game and I had to explain that to him also), BUT I was strategically planing most attacks and defensive actions on the (entire board) (Except for some of graf because I play with the guy all the time and he already knows my Military strategy in the setting.) I directed every single civic of every single teammate from turn 1 and whenever people changed them they let me know first. I also designed the tec tree for my team and a bunch of other little things here and there so don't you say something like that, and any person I have ever played with knows this is exactly what I do and when people actually listen and don't think there Gods gift to strategy, the team wins..... If what your saying is that you only lost because your team mates didn't do there part, than why dont you play me a 1v1, all I seem to be doing is agreeing to your settings and game choices, why don't you agree to one that would truly prove skill a 1v1. And trust me on this, you will be seeing lots of my military units if you agree to this, I will agree to any setting you like (Map, Climate(no trees), era (Go ahead and test your future strategy against mine), size, but all that I ask is that its 1v1 ....

People, Next time there is a peer problem and someone cant connect because of another player, don't have the admin boot that player or need to compeltly rehost another game. What I am saying is ask that person if they have other internet related programs up, if they say yes, which they will say, than have them close it and have the person trying to connect close it and you wont have to deal with this. Sure its possible that players can connct to a game while these things are up, but when people can't connect to the game, its beause these things are up. I think you guys should directly test this out with what I said in mind, if you have never had any peer problems (Which I don't see logical because everyone has been in a teamer or cton with a peer problem unless you have only played one and got lucky), than forget this, but if you do ever encounter peer problems just test this out...
