Warning for newbies

Thu, 05/24/2007 - 21:43 — emj

You can't play peaceful in this game, you need to protect yourself. Always fight back, never ever let a big bully take your cities, and if they do take one city, see to it that they have to pay dearly for that..

And ask for help on this forum.

Yea the sooner the better,

Yea the sooner the better, players without an alliance are easy meat for experienced players ;) And in games with full tech exchange you can simply get more techs done if you ally early.

If you have agood defense

If you have agood defense it's impossible to conquer you in the beginning.. it's only when catapults begin to arrive that things might get hairy..

So we must make balanced

So we must make balanced teams. Due no ranking, we must make it according to our strong/weak feeling, short memory and maybe savegames :)

well, i don't think that

well, i don't think that it's good idea, because it can be formed teams of two strongest players and in other team can be the weakest players... personally i prefer this kind of game we're playing: alliances not teams.

Hmm, I think that we can

Hmm, I think that we can form teams in LTclassic3. It can be a bit complicated without players ranking, but possible.

As a general warning, beware

As a general warning, beware of neighbours coming from the same (IRL) country. They tend to form an alliance to get you :)

Which brings back to a topic about pre-defined teams. I'd like to participate to such a game if it would be organized.

Well said Maho ;) My advice

Well said Maho ;) My advice is to always do what's in your own interest, instead of pushing on in a direction that only weakens yourself. Many beginning players do this and thereby make the game much shorter for them than it needs to be.

Well, it's well known, that

Well, it's well known, that freeciv is "eat or be eaten" game. LT is even more "eat or be eaten" :)
