Your Favorite Boardgame

Well I haven't really missed out. The Arcade version is the same game as far as I can tell, just with computer opponents.

(my emphasis added)

Just?!? Computer AI always sucks donkey-balls after a bit of practice - multiplayer is the way!

Watch your tongue.

Do you presume to win every game of MoO on impossible as... the Mrrshan...?

Depending on how tough the VI is... you might find intelligent life forms either easier or harder to beat. Now when it comes to advanced AI, one should have as much or more of a difficult time defeating them. All depends on how advanced the AI is. Of course, it also depends on wether the player is cybernetic/otherwise intellectually 'improved'.

At the least: be aware of the difference between AI (SI, to be less colloquial) and VI, you condescending human


Edit: Also, I will mock anyone who claims they can win each game of Settlers of Catan (wether against human, computer, or spider monkey opponents) because they practice. The game has a moderate level of luck involved. In the worst cases: you will be completely blocked off, with only 2 little houses to your name, never even upgrading them to cities. In anything where luck is even a slight factor in winning: one cannot presume to win by having the perfect strategy from the onset and executing it as fast as possible. Have you even played Settlers of Catan, Evie? *Saerules doubts*
