Re: $100 Bo9 Escape Showmatch #2

17.30 GMT (19.30 my time). I aim to finish the series at a reasonable time to have dinner, even tho this time will already be a bit late probably.
If we are all ok with this, I'd actually prefer 17 GMT.

Re: Poll: Laptop or Desktop

Curious, unfortunately not a way to sort results by PR but do you think it affects skill ceiling? Assuming a good laptop (no graphics bottleneck) and of course external keyboard then no. However if any the two limitations are present, then ye it affects your gameplay and likely caps your potential....

Re: China late game

They have a 3 vill a card and can train vills during age ups. Each wonder is worth a number of vill by producing units or resources. German consulate adds 3 trickles in late game and they have one factory with the Russian cons.
Eco is pretty much as strong as those of euro civs.

Re: $100 Bo9 Escape Showmatch #2

18 gmt is 20 here, that's why I asked to change it. Being bo9 I'd rather like to not end it too late.

Re: New Dutch Opening

You skip hunting dogs till you have the bank done. Market is only for the extra xp and to do the buying trick. You do lose 400g on the mine which is the main drawback but on EP it is usually a non problem since there is often 2 close mines and Dutch has one extra bank to generate gold anyway.

I usually eat at 20 gmt or so. I'd rather play it after that or significantly before that. 18 gmt?

Re: New Dutch Opening

It is definetely worth. Not really because gold gathers faster (which is actually quite relevant with Dutch) but for the vill walking time. You prob save about 50-100 res just with that.

Re: New Dutch Opening

This is good.
I used to test the same thing with Spain when I was trying a new semi that involves xbow play. I never considered it with Dutch is which much more of a no brainer.

Re: Sioux Redesign ideas.

This meta doesn't cater to TWC civs, that's true. However, wakina are not a marginal unit for Sioux, even tho yes, Sioux is a cav civ. RR, tashunke and DS are more of unique Sioux units, not necessarily their main ones. Actually because they're unique and mostly hard counters, they are in fact margi...

Re: Sioux Redesign ideas.

Food TC makes no sense. No balance/gameplay reason for that and no design reason either. BR x0.5 vs vills makes sense but it's too big of a change and I don't know if it improves or worsen balance (surely needs tons of compensation elsewhere). RR are fine. If anything, but this is more for design th...

Re: Here to report cheater

Yes, except there is no money or anything at stakes and we are not playing here to win 3 minutes games with the help of quite some luck (in the end without nootka treasure there, I wouldnt lose both explorer and native). He probably also knows that I usually Sioux mirror just to prevent this shit, b...

Re: Here to report cheater

I'm playing poker atm, thank you for the lesson on luck and perfect infortmation.
The point here is not much that he did a questionable strategic decision, it is that he did on purpose vs me, mostly to annoy me, after changing the civ pick to Sioux.

Re: Here to report cheater

No he right clicked to my base with the clear intent to bust me getting a treasure and he did so even avoiding the native scout placed there right in case. This means he intentionally took a weird route and he clearly went into the game with that intent. You make a big deal out of a blatant drop tri...

Re: Here to report cheater

Droptricking is a serious offense and obviously not an appropriate response to an opponent "laming" by sending his warchief to your base and sniping off your hero. Please take a step back and think about how you'd feel if someone droptricked you because they considered your play to be lam...
