Where did I go wrong

Other than resigning after 1 hr 10 mins? I'd appreciate an honest good critique. This was my first game as Brits in probably 5 months. Thanks. This guy has played a lot as Dutch. It was a QS 1v1...

I was trying a new Brit strat that obviously didn't work.

Re: Round 1 - Soccerman771 vs lordnorman

I'd appreciate any feedback. Interesting stats from the game: We both aged to colonial 1 second apart 4:47 vs 4:48. I had a kill/death ratio of 2.48 vs his of .45 He made 88 military units to my 70. Neither of us took advantage of the water. He stole one of my 100 food treasures prior to reaching co...

Round 1 - Soccerman771 vs lordnorman

Soccerman771 vs lordnorman French vs Japanese Winner: Soccerman771 Description: lordnorman opted to go Japanese vs my French. He decided to stick it out in colonial while I opted for a very fast semi-ff. He raided with yumi's to try and pick-off a few cdb's but I had 'em beefed up with both market u...

Re: Things I wish the game did...

Another one I've wish the game had. How about being able to set a game limit time (similar to AOK) where the game ended after 1 hour, 2 hours, etc. I usually can't sit at a computer more than 2 hours on the same game and it has caused undeserved losses where there were stalemates and I had things co...

Re: 1v1: Me (Brit) v Otto

Good game there highlander. You did very well to capitalize on his mistakes. Though I wouldn't call what you did a rush. Not much to improve on. However, at 10:00 mins in you had 1000 wood stored and not at pop cap. You had a couple of options. 1. Take all the Trade posts (prefered). Otto's biggest ...

Re: Sioux (Flamenco) vs. Aztec (Me)

Ok, you actually won that game? You mush have seriously frustrated him. Though I have to say, for the eco you had, not bad at all. Since sioux cannot make walls, you should have taken advantage of this. You didn't scout his base at all, and if he was smart would have pulled trade monopoly on you at ...

Re: Being rushed as Dutch

[quote=""ruminator""] I lost one Aztec game as he got my t/c down but I couldn't then recover my explorer who died in their base while scouting. Is there any tactic to recover a European explorer with no t/c? I had to make at least 3 suicide raids with hussars to get him back fro...

Re: Japs vs Germans, pr 32 vs pr 34

Just a couple of observations from watching the game. I thought you could have done more to go Naginata's earlier in the game to keep his vils off gold. Germ's as you know is a pretty heavy gold-dependent civ, and the merc cards in his deck were probably a good indication of the direction he was goi...

Re: Being rushed as Dutch

My advice if you know you are going to get rushed is to make certain you age with the 200g +tower and build an extra tower. Have the extra mm in your deck as well and the 8 pikes. WHATEVER you do, if you know you are facing a very hard rush (russian/otto) hold off building banks until you have the f...
