rah · June 25, 2002, 09:51

How do you say "Bye bye" in Australian ?

War4ever · June 25, 2002, 10:11

how much did horse pay you to help out his rep......

as a good player

Alexander's Horse · June 25, 2002, 10:12

Don't help him!!!!!

T O A S T T I M E!

Alexander's Horse · June 25, 2002, 10:31

This is just a typical Horse Makeo slugfest. Viscious fighting from start to finish. We're only just getting started really

rah · June 25, 2002, 10:43

It looks like you're just getting started and he just getting started being finished.

TCO · June 25, 2002, 11:03

Act like you're in danger of losing...while you actually have a force moving to take him out. (oops sorry...you're probably doing that...)

War4ever · June 25, 2002, 17:17

haha....that better be a big force....looks like horse has put him in the saddle so to speak, welll done horsey

rah · June 25, 2002, 17:21

Yeah, please post the same view 3 turns from then.

Interesting side note, Makeo ,Horse and I have a 3 way game going , Horsewould not play it so they could continue this dual. :hmm:

How do you Horse is going in that game.

Makeo · June 25, 2002, 18:55

I have a save three turns from that one. I'm still alive. Nyah Nyah

deity · June 25, 2002, 19:36

LOL!

Sounds like Makeo will hold out.... true Aussie character shines - never say die till the loser video

Alexander's Horse · June 25, 2002, 19:36

This is a 1x1x game so its not going to be a quick kill - certainly not while he has GW - but he might not have it for much longer

This is very scary. Be afraid, be very afraid.

That screenshot was taken on the turn when I took the fort outside Honebetsu. That flushed a lot of his units out of those 3 forward cities as he tried to retake the fort. Then my cav which you can see there moved in and did a bit of killing because most of his forward units were cats and were stranded.

He's been trying to retake the fort at Honebetsu ever since.

The other thing to note is my occupation of a mountain fort at the bottom of the map. That road leads to his capital and the rest of his empire. He's been moving units through there using diplo guiding (GRRR!!!) but I've pillaged that road several times now so his settlers are becoming world class road builders

I do enjoy pillaging his mining too

rah · June 26, 2002, 09:34

Another screen shot please.
I did fully expect Honebetsu to fall soon seeing your position and the full tirenes approaching.

RAH

Alexander's Horse · June 26, 2002, 10:32

Nah - I haven't attacked it - its on a hill and full of pike.

This is a positional game.

Makeo · June 26, 2002, 19:31

yep, it looks like the same position to me.

Alexander's Horse · June 26, 2002, 19:50

I think both sides are getting frustrated with our crap mil techs. I hit Tula with 5 vet cats and 2 crusaders and hardly bruised the defenders.

Makeo lost about 15 cats trying to take that fort back outside Honebetsu.

I'd be embarrassed to say what year this game is at now

He played last night with his girlfriend sitting on his lap so I don't know if he was really concentrating on the game

He said he might resign soon - that doesn't sound like our makeo - must be love

How long did HIS turns take...

finbar · June 26, 2002, 20:17

About seven seconds ...

Oh! His Civ turns? I have absolutely no idea.

Alexander's Horse · June 26, 2002, 20:25

It came up (excuse the pun) when I sunk one of his tris and he said he hadn't seen mine (excuse the pun) because his girlfriend was sitting on his lap and he couldn't see it (excuse the pun) over her shoulder.

I must say I found the idea of someone playing with a young girl sitting on his lap rather distracting.

When Mrs Horse came to say goodnight in her quilted gown and cold cream and rollers for a nano second I thought about asking her to sit on my lap whilst I played but then I thought..............nah

finbar · June 26, 2002, 20:58

I can just imagine Makeo playing with four ankle-biters wanting his attention. Can't you?

As a matter of fact I can
