games are not made to be beaten quickly, they are made to last as long as possible

I love the "Civilization" series of games. Except, I hate how it takes FOREVER to get to any fun point in the game (eg, "today's" technologies). So, I'd make maps that would pit all the players against each other, but with the whole of the tech tree researched. I figure, that's only about as bad as a modified RA/RA2 maps in which the entire map is gems -- you pretty much don't have to wait for your income.
Although, it wasn't so bad in Civilization II, since it was a lot more fun during the beginning eras than the same eras in any of the other Civilization games. Especially on the European map. Damn Civilization III for not having a decent equivalent! Europe would be awesome with 15 AIs!

Civ 2 was REALLY great especially when you made the transition from old-world to modern-world. Leo's Workshop to the rescue! Your militia has turned into a trained fighting force! Your boats are now badass!
...I added the plumbing improvement which was strangely disabled by default, too. Have you ever seen a Barbarian Paratrooper in the ancient times? He's this badass Shogun looking guy who can teleport.

Yar! Build the Great Library so you don't fall behind in techs while you build large numbers of cities (but remember not to rely on it, as it gets disabled right as everyone's getting to the modern age). Build Leonardo's Workshop to get free unit upgrades (woo! though, you do lose veteran status  ), then build Adam Smith's Trading Company to pay for about 1/3 of your spending. GG.
Only things I wish Civ II had that Civ III has is the totally awesome new trading menu (fsckin awesome, really) and the territories (nothing like capping a city 1 space away from another city, ending the war, then starting another war because the damn asshole can't keep his units away and always bitches when you don't).

I guess it would be funny if someone like DrkXFactr started this topic. But right now, it's not very funny.

Speaking of comment, you missed your "lol paeg 2!", Spoony.

I don't laugh or spell words incorrectly when announcing a page. It would be unprofessional. Thank you.

Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

We were bored and wanted some cheap laughs. Blazer had no objections, so the plan went forward. I didn't expect it to drag on this long.

I'm sorry I had to make this post. My friends in IRC convinced me it would be the best thing to do. Give me strength guys. I'd like to apologize for all the cheating I've done over the years. Renegade really has been fun for me the past 3 years (wow, that long already?), and I know many others would agree. I'm sure everybody's had their day ruined by a cheater at one point, and I'm sure that at some point, lots of people have had their round ruined by none other than me. My biggest fear would be that all the cheating I have done could possibly have turned people away from this great game. I hope that nobody who ever plays with me ever changes their mind about how much honest fun you can have playing it, honestly. I'd like to apologize to the moderators who have had to deal with tons of people spamming them with "omg chrono hax" and all the attempted votekicks and such (even in servers that have no such votekick system but still had people trying). Finally, I'd like to thank again my friends and all those that have supported my through the years, defending my credibility whenever it came into question. I hope my apology can be an inspiration to everybody, non-cheaters and cheaters alike. I'm not, however, going to apologize for all the trash-talking. I'm sure you all saw that coming.
lol kthx I've never cheated before.
Good luck and happy hunting everybody. I hope nobody ever feels the urge to cheat in this game and potentially ruin the experience of any other player. This game has had enough detractors throughout the years, from cyberprick to even EA itself at times. Here's to three more years, years of cheat-free gaming for me and for everybody hopefully. I honestly apologize to anybody who feels that at some point, my cheating has led to an unfair situation that caused them any amount of grief at all. I humbly ask for your forgiveness for all the times I was cheating, either caught or let off scott-free.

Now where have I heard this one before...
If anyone is ever serious about something like this, keep it to yourself, because I'm almost 100% sure most people that come here have atleast cheated once... Yes, including me. During my n00b days I even tried final renegade and big heads, whee.
