[shout] I WILL NOT CLAIM VICTORY FOR THE LADDER. DO NOT FEAR!

I cannot help it! Ask Dave!

I want to reuse this map, it took me blood sweat and tears to make. In a sense I'm happy it ended this early, so there were not to many spoilers :(

PP and I just discussed how well balanced this map IS! So there is no problem whatsoever with the map. A rush can only NOT happen on an archimap, where you are alone on an island.[crazyeye]

Aggie, again, the map was great, Xerxes' mood was not.

Kingreno, thank you for the compliment. I know that rushes sometimes happen. Especially with Xerxes as neighbour.

Aggie, the map was GREAT! Just a pity Xerxes came after me straight after I met him. I spend 5 turns blocking his warriors with my worker/scout/warrior combo but sadly I was 1 turn short of more permanent protection. I think the RNG dealt us high agressiveness AI. Shit happens.

So maybe you can recycle the map for another game with slight modifications to start position so that it is not obvious?? Would be a waste to not use the map.

PP: I will certainly do that.

That's fast. Pity the Persians decided to rush :(

I've gone through the biq with Aggie and I can assure it is a gem, I really hope there will be another 1vs1 on this one :)
