Lets start a list of the worst possible things that could happen in a typical game of AoK. I'll start us off...

1. Getting Disconnected just as you are about to win.

2. Facing a Krush with no military.

3. Playing A ladder game and discovering that your teammate has never played AoK before.

4. Recieving a 'CrossFire has advanced to Castle Age' message when you have just reached feudal.

5. Finding out that you and your opponant have built TCs right next to one another in LN.

6. Losing.

7. Trying to Grush with 127 wood.

8. Playing Michi when your civ doesn't get Siege Onagers (Groan).

9. Trying the 'Camp Jim Strategy'.

10. Forgetting To Turn off Cheat Codes when playing a sly opponant.

Your number 8 proves yet again you have no idea what and how to play michi.

That happens every now and then to me. The absolute worst was when it happened just after I finished beating back wave after wave of catys, eles, and plumies for about 10 straigth minutes when they finally decided to give up on me; I was Japanese. It was a castle blood map, so the armies were of only those units mentioned above. Still, when it happened I must've dropped 50 F-bombs in one sentence.

Here's mine:

11. Allowing an opponent Goth or Byzantine player to reach Imp.

I get #4 all the time But the thing is, I reach imp shortly after I hit castle (because I spend more time in feudal making villies) and always before he does. And it's always in Michi games cuz that seems to be the only damned map ever played on the Zone anymore besides LN and arabia.

12. Your team mate is a total noob, and masses a whole army of just paladins, then says " I am gonna whoop their ass, I have got the mighty paladin on my team!", then you realise he doesnt know about unit weaknesses, and he see's 150+ pikes come at him and goes "ha ha ha, that guy can only afford pikes" I then immediately hit the resign button.

13. You have a huge Post Imp battle, you lose whole army, you enemy loses all but a few troops and then, whilst your defences are down, castles and towers in ruins, he marches into your town, and with a few rubbish, cheap units, kills your entire population of villies, and theres nothing u can do but watch in utter despair.

#14 Your ally goes for a 21 minute fuedal, saying it's better to slowly build up your empire.

That would never happen, but it would be funny.

#15 On Arabia, random civs, you get Turks, your opponent gets Huns.

17. You are playing someone with a really hardcore name who talks about how raped this and that guy, so you really focus on a hard game. you rush him in dm pi and you find him picking berries and making watchtowers.

18. You make a scenario, forget to save it, and just as you add the finishing touches the game crashes.

19. You get ganged up on on Shimo.

20. You start a game on random all, find some water and build a dock and 10 fishing ships before realising that its a tiny puddle.

NOTE: All of these things have happened to me at one stage.

Wow...that reminds me of three years ago, when someone posted that screenshot of where THD (TheHyperDuck) made a Dock in a tiny puddle.

21. Walling with 5-row wall an blindway (in BF).

22. Playing with AI.
22,5. Playing with AI, which is in feudal, when you and other players and AI's are in late imperial.

23. Gathering stone in Dark age with 10 villies.

24. Attacking unpacking treb. with non-spanish vills.

25. Critical failure typeoff: 'The progrram has done non accepted operation in module....' or 'Error in paging of memory...' etc. even if it's program, which wears 'Microsoft' mark.

26. Loss of electric power in your house, just when you decide to save it after 90 mins of playing.

27. "format c:"

28. Being flamed by Stevay.


Who needs a sig, anyway.

@ VeT (first post): What do you mean? Would you rather have a non-SO civ in michi?

If he's playing with me, yes.

All you need is one cutter/side. If you have 4 people who can make sub-34 min cuts then it might be alright to have 4 holes thru the forest. Otherwise, random civs is funnerer.

You can type that into DOS, and it won't do anything. You're not going to fdisk C: from C:.

Hehe, you think you know Stevay for a long time and then he surprises you... Good work, swp, for not replying to that comment about you flaming. I'm not trying to pick a fight or nothin' just congratulating you.

What are we up to? Oh yes, 28.

29. Playing against someone from Battle.net

30. Having to write a long message to your ally as you are being attacked (groan).

I don't have posted it (bout stevay) to provoke him, but it is really BAD when he bites you. He know where and how.

And about that format C:, i have recognized it later....

swippee's a nice boy. You just can't act/be stupid, since that is what he attacks most of the time.

+1.

But he does overreact, and long flamewars are often the result. But its rude to talk about people behind their backs, so lets keep to the subject.

@DaHobo-- All I'm saying is it is not a bad thing to not have a non-SO civ for michi, 1v1 maybe bad still not the worst thing.

@Lord Fad-- have you ever played a game on the zone, if so what is your screenname.

31. Having the Tc you are researching Imp. at destroyed when it was at 98%.

32. Loosing to a turtler.

33. Purposely picking Aztecs on water hoping to have a good Imperial Water battle vs. Vikings.
