A new rivalry has shown up on our door steps. Chris and nick are challenging me and tim to a 2v2 match. Now of course tim and i said the exact same thing when nick and chris asked us to do it, As long as the other one decides to play, or something around those lines.
Now before i bash tim, i want to say you guys have no chance, tim and i can work together to form a new good. We just have to work on it.
Bashing Tim: I play 1v1 almost exclusively, i know how to rush, defeat a rush and boom. Im not saying i am the master, because im not, im just saying i know how to protect my self, tim how ever does not play that many 1v1 games. So tim if you die, its probably your fault, but dutch are not a 1v1 kind of civ. Tim seems to forget though that even in a 3v3 you can still get rushed. (tim did not even have a stable built that game we played against the 2 russians and 1 ottoman). I think he just needs to forget about booming and go all second age and learn how to rebound from it(which the dutch are good at)
Bashing Pat: Yes, i have not played hardcore 2v2 since the old days when it was B and P vs T and D. So im pretty rusty, i think ive played two 2v2 games in the past 3 months. Well ben and i did own at a lot of 2v2's. but thats because we played it alot, tim and i need practice. Tim's a 3v3 man im a 1v1 man, put the two together, hopefully theres an awesome 2v2 team.

Well, I think this whole deal should be interesting! Now that T and P are allied, B and D are allied, and C and N are allied... does that leave Paul and Josh for the fourth team? Gulp.
Anyway, I think Tim and Pat could do quite well together in the same way D and I do. The Spanish are a heavy inf and cav civ where the dutch are a light inf and cav. Pat attacks well and Tim defends well. With a little practice, you guys could rock.
However, I hate to admit it, but there's still no way you guys could outplay me and D. No way in hell. The Ottomans and Russians are perfect compliments. The Ottos have good infantry and arty with a slow and expensive economy, and I have good cavalry with a fast and cost-effective economy. He can rush, I can defend, and we have both learned to boom like its nobody's business. My attacks revolve around frequent and crippling raids where his involve overpowering onslaughts... not that any of that matters until you learn how to hold off any possible combination of strelets, jans, cossacks, hussars,natives, albus guns, or grenadiers that may hit you anywhere between 5:30 and 8:30 with nearly infinitely replenishable numbers! Fear!
I'll be the first to admit that the russians are not the ideal 1v1 civ, but I've been working on that a little bit too! I can still use the same sort of strategy, it just takes a little getting used to in order to stop French Ponies, Lancers, Longbows, and Great Bombards.
I learned more about the Russians in my civ reading today to, including who the cossacks, boyars, and tartars were (no lies). Ironically though, the Russians really hated the Ottoman Turks... and the Sweeds. But they got along well with the Prussians (Germans) under Fredrick the Great!

YEa, the russians hated the ottomans ant he billion wars they had with them...
But yea, maybe tim and i can pull of an attack against you and D, but the truth is you both have hte best rushing civs, where tim and i have lackluster civs on the rushing side.
And ben i now am totallly NOT worried about your rush. I can even beat the ottoman rush with germans D...
You can constantly produce jannisaries, ok... well i can constantly produce 10 Crossbows every TWENTY FOUR SECONDS and still get to the fortress age in a reasonable time. Oh and i will have a MUCH better economy than yours.
But back to me and tim. We do get the shaft on the 2v2, but hey we will try and find a way.

Well, I would say the Spanish are one of the best rush civs with the extra shipments in the 2nd age and stuff. Germans... not as much as they used to but your economy can take off nicely once you get set wagons. And economically, D has been learning, and have no problem with slingshoting him the third age if I can. I dunno. You and Tim have a tough late game... I can't orp raid Tim much at all in contrast to Nick and Chris And those Lancers are a real fucking pain for me and D. We'll see.

FYI... I played with an Ottoman last night against a Brit and a Dutch, and as you probably suspected, beat the crap out of them with a rush. Enough said.

Probably because:
Jake is too busy whacking off to old pics of Kendra Chris is too busy whacking off to recent pics of himself Tim is too busy whacking off to pics of buttsex And D is too busy... nm... I don't wanna think about that
(I'm kidding but it won't matter will it?)

I dont understand why you think my 2nd age 1v1 is so bad pat. I defeated an expert comp by defeating his 2nd and 3rd age rushes, outbooming him, and then pwning him in the 4th age.

I just hope Patrick leaves his base wide open for me to clean out.
And by the way, Finland Finland Finland, that's the country for me!

Hey b and tim, you guys lost your most recent game! what happened!? Was it rush or no rush. I cant really tell from the stats, it says that one guy had his max ville pop faster than ben, so im assuming he did a boat boom kinda thing.
I think i mentioned to tim that port and french were probably the worst combo of civs! what happened! you should have pwned them
