It is very easy to use software which require the client installation and once you have installed Game Ranger, you can directly play AOE with online players. There are so many players playing AOE online every time around the globe.vinaysachdeva23http://www.blogger.com/profile/05702497616956123593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975450052388148014.post-79889785736511558672009-10-31T23:44:00.000-07:002009-11-01T00:02:53.367-07:00Electronic CigaretteCigarette smoking is injurious to health, but the sad part is that we still keep on addicted towards the cigarette smoking. People say that they want to leave cigarette smoking when they are asked but they still keep smoking it since they are addicted towards it. The reason being that there are many chemicals which makes them addicted towards cigarette smoking But today there is a new device called <a href="http://www.ecigaretteschoice.com/">e cigarette</a> available in the market which actually is different from the traditional cigarette in a way that they do not contain any chemicals and hence they are not injurious to health. They give you a feel as if you are smoking the traditional cigarette but they will not make you addicted towards it. Moreover they are more cost effective and more convenient than traditional cigarettes.<br />If you would like to buy this e cigarette you need to go on to ecigaretteschoice.com and buy starter kit bundle. Once you buy <a href="http://www.ecigaretteschoice.com/categories/Starter-Kit-Bundles">starter kit bundles</a> for $69.00 you will get 1 atomizer, 2 batteries, 1 battery charger, 5 pack of cartridges and easy to follow instructions. These <a href="http://www.ecigaretteschoice.com/categories/Batteries-%26-Chargers/">e cigarette batteries</a> are rechargeable batteries that can be recharged with the use of the charger hence this is only one time fees of $69.00 and thereafter you will have to keep recharging it and keep smoking. Hence we can say that they are cost efficient as well. Hence this is the better and modern smoking method and people should switch to this method of smoking as they have lots of advantages as explained above.vinaysachdeva23http://www.blogger.com/profile/05702497616956123593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975450052388148014.post-67565668726510872982009-01-11T03:47:00.000-08:002009-01-11T04:07:50.069-08:00Claim it !!!Life is a mixed bag of happenings and mis happenings.

Any comments and questions are welcomed but if you only want to say how dumb monk rushes are please post it in another thread.</p> <h2>Introduction</h2> This is a very specific strategy that is designed to: <ul class="uni_list"><li>Achieve a very fast castle time of approximately 13:45</li><li>Attack with monks at approximately 15:50</li><li>Not sell any of your stone for gold and use this advantage</li><li>Use monks, a town center and possibly a castle to attack and disrupt your opponent</li><li>Cause shock, fright and consequently unwise actions from your opponent</li></ul> <p>In order to achieve the extremely fast castle time without selling stone the build order must be followed. You must be able to micromanage you econ very well and be able to change strategies if it becomes necessary. For these reasons I do not suggest this for any one not at least an intermediate level player. There is some room for error but it is very limited. Should anything go wrong you should abandon thoughts of a monk rush as it will come too late and you will be in a very bad position. This strategy is developed with similar principles as the SMUSH. I would recommend reading MFO’s article about the SMUSH before attempting this monk rush.</p> <p>This strategy was developed by mathematical and in game testing by LKS_Flammifer, enjoy. Special thanks to my fellow LKS clan members who helped me with this article.</p> <h3>The Build Order</h3> <p>Build orders are not the thing you want to rely on to heavily. If something unexpected happens then your build order is of no good to you. However if you want to do this you must follow the build order. It’s balanced to bring you where you want to go but anything can cause a problem. I will stress that if anything happens that is anything from losing a villager to a boar or losing a single sheep you will be unable to do this. If anything happens stop trying to do this strategy immediately and do something else. I also suggest practicing this in single player until you can do it without pausing the game. The build order runs as follows.</p> <p>Have two of your villagers build one house and the other build one too.</p> <p>Scout in circles around your base until you have found:</p> <ul class="uni_list"><li>8 sheep</li><li>2 boar</li><li>1 clump of berry bushes</li><li>1 deer herd (2 is better)</li><li>forest</li></ul> <p>After you finish the houses send those villagers to sheep.</p> <p>Now assign villagers to tasks as follows:</p> <ul class="uni_list"><li>1-6 sheep</li><li>7-9 berries</li><li>10 house by boar and then lure boar</li><li>11 sheep</li><li>12-14 wood</li><li>15 lure another boar</li><li>16 berries</li><li>17 wood</li><li>18-20 berries</li><li>21,22 gold</li></ul> <p>When your hunters finish the second boar:</p> <ul class="uni_list"><li>6 go to sheep</li><li>2 go to berries</li><li>1 goes to hunt deer</li></ul> <p>When you reach feudal have two lumberjacks build a market and 2 build a blacksmith.<br />When the two buildings are finished you should have what you need to go castle.</p> <p>Now it’s time to make a decision.</p> <strong>1:</strong> Take the easiest rout and have: <ul class="uni_list"><li>2 forwards (use your scout to guard them because you don’t have loom)</li><li>8 gold miners</li><li>10-12 lumberjacks</li><li>1-2 gathering food</li></ul> <p>The idea is to be able to build a house with the forwards if you have time and to get a siege workshop up and make a mangonel ASAP.</p> <strong>2:</strong> Try to keep a better econ by having: <ul class="uni_list"><li>2 forwards (use your scout to guard them because you don’t have loom)</li><li>7 gold miners</li><li>9 lumberjacks</li><li>4 gathering food</li></ul> <p>This is harder because 9 is the minimum number of lumberjacks you can have. The 4 villagers should build a mill by deer and hunt them. This will allow you to create more villagers when you get to castle. You must put you town center by gold and have the villagers mine it in order to keep up monk production.</p> <strong>3:</strong> Go all out and try to put up a castle you must have: <ul class="uni_list"><li>2 forwards (use your scout to guard them because you don’t have loom)</li><li>6 gold miners</li><li>9 lumberjacks</li><li>5 stone miners</li></ul> <p>Every thing must be done right for this to work but it is incredible. Again you must put your town center by gold and mine it in order to keep up production of monks. Use the town center to provide defense for the castle and put the castle between 7-8 tiles from the enemy town center. You will not be able to create any more villagers until you have started the castle and then you should take 3 villagers off stone and have them farm. You may also chose to have lumberjacks go to farms too.</p> <p>You should reach castle at about 13:45 if everything went right.<br />Have you two forwards build 1 monastery each (total=2). Once they are up, create monks from them. When the monks come out have them each convert a villager and use you now 4 villagers to start a town center. If your opponent starts a tower when your monks appear, place your town center so that the tower cannot hit your villagers on the far side but when the town center is completed that it can fire on the tower. Use monks who do not have enough faith to convert to heal your villagers. From here your strategy should follow the choices you made during the castle transition.</p> <h3>Other Comments</h3> <p>If your going to try this when your opponents team includes a Teuton or you are attacking a Turk then you should seriously reconsider weather or not to use this strategy. Also if the difficulty is set high (more wolves) you should think about doing something else. Surprise is what makes this so effective, consequentially you shouldn’t use this repeatedly against the same opponents. However if you use another strategy with a 10:05 feudal you may catch them off guard. Ethical or not you can use the monk bug to convert units faster especially those that are hard to convert. Watch out for stables, if light cav show up you’d better have some pikes ready. And a big, yes I know what happens if you’re flushed, for everyone who was going to say that.</p>vinaysachdeva23http://www.blogger.com/profile/05702497616956123593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975450052388148014.post-13755110796784108922008-12-24T04:40:00.000-08:002008-12-24T04:41:04.182-08:00Age Of Empires Recorded GamesThe professional gaming leagues held between different clans have their games recorded.

Warcraft meets Civilization! Real-time empire-building! And does it ever look sharp and feel right.<br />But an uneasy feeling builds as you get deeper into it, a sense that all is not quite right. This is not quite the game you hoped for. Even worse, it has some definite problems. The pitfall when you review a game as anticipated and debated as this one is to make sure you criticize it for what it is, not for what you wish it was. I wish that Age of Empires was what it claimed to be - Civilization with a Warcraft twist. Instead, it is Warcraft with a hint of Civilization. That's all well and good, but it places it firmly in the action-oriented real-time combat camp, rather than in the high-minded empire-building of Civilization. The result is Warcraft in togas, with slightly more depth but a familiar feel.<br /><br />Age of Empires places you on a map in an unexplored world, provides a few starting units, and lets you begin building an empire. Each game unfolds the same way. You begin with a town center and some villagers. The villagers are the basic laborers, and the town center enables you to build more of them and expand your settlement. The villagers are central to AOE: they gather resources, build structures, and repair units and buildings. Resources come in four forms: wood, food, stone, and gold. A certain amount of each is consumed to build various units and buildings, research new technology, and advance a civ to the next age.<br /><br />There is no complex resource management or intricate economic model at work here. What you have is the same old real-time resource-gathering in period garb, with four resources instead of one or two. As your civ advances, you develop greater needs for these resources, but the way in which they are gathered and used becomes only marginally more complex (certain research can cause faster harvesting or more production). It appears on the surface to be a complex evocation of the way early civs gathered and used materials, but beneath the hood is the same old "mine tiberium, buy more stuff than the other guys" model. It is the first hint that AOE is a simple combat game rather than a glorious empire-builder.<br /><br />There's no denying the thrill the first time a villager chucks a spear at an antelope and spends several minutes hacking meat from its flank with a stone tool. This is the level of detail that brings an empire-building game to life. If only those villagers would grow and develop over the course of the game, it would make it so much more interesting. If only they would trade in their loincloths for some britches and maybe some orange camouflage, and switch from spears to arrows and rifles. Yes, that's another game, but it could easily have been done in AOE, and why it wasn't is a mystery.<br /><br />The overall impression of AOE dips further with the prickly issue of unit control and AI. As you expand your city with new and improved buildings, you develop the ability to produce new and better military units. These fall into several categories: Infantry (Clubman, Axeman, Short Swordsman, Broad Swordsman, Long Swordsman, Legion, Hoplite, Phalanx, and Centurion), Archers (Bowman, Improved Bowman, Composite Bowman, Chariot Archer, Elephant Archer, Horse Archer, and Heavy Horse Archer), Cavalry (Scout, Chariot, Cavalry, Heavy Cavalry, Cataphract, and War Elephant), and Siege Weapons (Stone Thrower, Catapult, Heavy Catapult, Ballista, and Helepolis). With the completion of a temple, a priest becomes available that can heal friendly units and convert enemy units. Naval units come in the form of fishing, trade, transport, and war.<br /><br />The problem is that while enemy AI is savvy and aggressive (it can afford to be since it appears to cheat with resources), your units are bone-stupid. Path-finding is appallingly botched, with units easily getting lost or stuck. There is a waypoint system, but that hardly makes up for the fact that your units have trouble moving from point A to point B if you don't utilize it. Military units will stand idly by while someone a millimeter away is hacked to pieces. They respond not at all to enemy incursion in a village and wander aimlessly in the midst of battle. Was this deliberate so that the gamer needed to spend more time in unit management? If so, it was a poor idea, since there is simply too much going on midgame to worry about whether your military is allowing itself to be butchered in one corner of the map while you are aggressively tending to a battle in another portion. There is no excusing this flaw, and it seriously diminishes AOE's enjoyability. Finally, there is the fifty unit limit that is irritating many players, but in light of the game's already troublesome play balance, it was a solid decision to force users to build units more selectively.<br /><br />AOE obviously is sticking close to an early-empire motif, and there's nothing at all wrong with that. Stone, Tool, Bronze, and Iron are the four ages, and with each come new structures and military units. You don't earn these advanced ages - you buy them with resources. Advancement is a simple matter of hoarding and spending food and gold. The overall welfare of your state is irrelevant as long as it survives: happiness is not measured, trade is barely modeled, and the state exists merely to produce a military machine to crush everyone else on the map. Naval power has a woefully unbalancing effect upon gameplay, with a strong navy able to shred the competition at the expense of reality.<br /><br />Micromanagement is the name of the game in AOE. There is no unit queue, and to build five villagers, you need to build one, wait, build another, and so on. With units acting so stupidly, you should be able to set their level of aggression and the manner in which they attack (a la Dark Reign), but that is also not an option. Diplomacy is relegated to tribute and nothing more, and alliances are hard to form. You can be allied, neutral, or at war with other civs, but if the radio button is still set to "allied" when an opponent starts firing on your units, your units will not fire back, defend themselves, or even flee. They will just be destroyed. Cues as to exactly what's happening on the map are obscure; the duty has been relegated to unrelated sound effects. Does that bugle call mean my building is finished being built, or my units are under attack? How about some help, people? Victory conditions can also be irritating. There are several campaigns that require that specific goals be met, and these quickly grow tiresome. Thankfully, there is an excellent custom generator that lets you set map size, starting tech, resources, and other features. This is the saving grace of AOE, and what kept me coming back again and again. The main reason is that it let me change some of the insane default victory requirements, such as when the victor is the first to build a "wonder" (through another massive consumption of resources) that stands for 2000 years. These 2000 years can pass in about twenty minutes of game time. That means that as soon as an opponent builds a wonder, you create a whacking huge navy to go over and blow it up. Not a very subtle way to maintain an empire. In fact, there is no strategic nuance: It is merely a brawny muscle contest. For all its historical trappings and pretensions to recreate the early progress of civilization, in the final analysis it does not even have the depth of a pure combat game like Dark Reign or Total Annihilation.<br /><br />If all these judgments seem harsh, it is only because Age of Empires looked, and pretends, to be so very much more. It still has tons of potential and a fundamental gameplay that remains entertaining enough to overcome the flaws and merit a fair rating. The system can go very far with some fine-tuning, but as it stands it seems downright schizo. Is it a simplified Civilization or a modestly beefed up Warcraft? It's almost as if the designers started out to create one game and ended up with another. With such beautiful production and the fundamentals of a vastly entertaining game, it's sad that it fell short of the mark. The disappointment is not merely with what AOE is, but with what it failed to be.<br /><br />By T.

You might take a couple of hits but it's worth it to kill that vil. If you are attacking vils and you see spearmen coming, check the hit points on the vil, if it's close to death don't run until you kill it.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.salamyhkaiset.org/aoe2/tacimg/scout02.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://www.salamyhkaiset.org/aoe2/tacimg/scout02.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Dealing with different situations<br /><br />Scenario 1:If the opponent sees you building a stable,then he knows that you will be going for a scout rush.So he will go for 5-6 spears.In this case I still prefer a scout rush but with 4-5 skirms. This will take care of his spears and then he gets very vulnerable as he does not have any more army.<br /><br />Scenario 2:If the opponent is very aggressive and does a forward attack.In this case just defend yourself with a wall and tower and attack his base with 4-5 scouts.As he is doing a forward attack he wont have any enemy at base and you can easily raid.<br /><br />The main point in scout rush is the micro.They are very vulnerable to spears and will die away cheaply if proper care is not taken.</span></p></div>vinaysachdeva23http://www.blogger.com/profile/05702497616956123593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975450052388148014.post-57467998770658717672008-07-04T22:32:00.000-07:002008-07-04T22:34:36.712-07:00AOE strategy- Fast Castle Age AdvancementThis is one of the most popular strategy used these days in Age of Empires and is based upon the <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Knight Rush</span>.<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">1.Civs favorable for fast castle strategy:-</span>The cavalry civilizations are favorable with <strong><span style="color:#bf4e27;">huns</span></strong> being hot fav.Particularly those civs which have an advantage of research are better.Examples are <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">franks</span>;their knights are 20% stronger and they have free farm research.<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Huns</span> save wood as they dont make houses,<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">vikings</span> have free wheelbarrow ,so faster vils,persians have faster work rate etc.<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">2.Timing:-</span>The ideal castle age timing is around 16 mins.I have seen ppl doing castle age as early as 13 mins but its not of any use.<br /><span id="fullpost"><br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">3.The Fast Castle Strategy:-</span><br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">HCCCC</span>build 2 houses(1 house with 1 vil and the other with 2 vils)<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Scout:-</span>Explore with scout in circles.As soon as you find 4 sheep,bring 1 to TC for eating,keep others for exploring.<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">>></span>Keep clicking vils unless you have 6 on sheep and 3 on wood.<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Click Loom:-</span>While loom is being done build a lumber camp with the 3 vils on wood.<br /><br />10th vil on boar,build a house near boar and then lure it.Make sure that the 6 vils having sheep finish it before they hunt the boar.<br /><br />Click vils on bush and build a mill near it.<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">16th vil:-</span>Goes to lure the second boar and builds a house.<br /><br />17th vil goes for wood<br /><br />vils upto 20 go for sheep<br /><br />21st,22nd,23rd are farmers.<br /><br />24th and 25th go to mine gold.<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Click Feud:-</span>While going feud you can either go for hunting with 4 vils or go for farming according to your civ.Make sure you have 300 wood as soon as you reach feud.<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Feudal Age:-</span>Once in feudal age click 5 vils on gold.<br /><br />With 2 vils build a smithy and a market.<br />As soon as you have 30/30 you will be in a position to click castle.<br /><br />While advancing do the lumber camp research and build one barrack and 2 stables.<br /><br />Take care that you have enough food and gold so that you can take out atleast 4 knights(2 from each stable).<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Castle age:-</span>Once in castle click on 4 knights and build a TC near your main gold mine or your lumber camp.<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Knights:-</span>They are very costly,so take care with their attack,use them to raid the enemy's base,dont go near to his TC and keep<br />away from spearmans.<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">4.Precautions to be taken:-</span>As your are going fast castle you are vulnerable to <strong><span style="color:#bf4e27;">flush</span></strong>(Feudal Rush) and <strong><span style="color:#bf4e27;">trush</span></strong>(Tower rush).Use the house bug to detect them and build walls wherever necessary.<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">5.Effective use:-</span>Dont let your knights idle around.If you are successful in confining your opponent near his TC,then make siege and destroy his TC with onager or ram.<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">6.Aztecs and Mayans:-</span>These 2 civs dont have knights.Explore the option of Eagle warrior.They are much cheaper so can be made more in number.Although they are weaker than knights they are very effective in raiding.For these two civs lay more emphasis on gold than food.And the important research is the first smithy research.For more info read <strong><span style="color:#bf4e27;">The Eagle Warrior</span></strong>.<br

of Empire Strategy- Tower rush or TrushStrategy making is considered to be the most important part of Age of Empires.Read this strategy only when you have mastered the timing,the counters and other points mentioned in the previous post.There are as such many strategies that can be used in Age of Empires but I prefer to discuss the most important ones.1.Trush or Tower Rush:- I use this strategy quite a lot and feel its the most important strategy for 1 vs.1.This strategy involves constructing towers in strategic positions in the enemies base.These strategic positions maybe a gold mine,stone mine or even near a lumber camp.If we do a micro on the tower rush strategy then we see that its the most balanced strategy.Balance is in reference with its ability to shift to another strategy if the tower rush fails.The micro is as follows3 vils -->build house:- During this time make scout do his rounds and find sheep.Make 3 vils and keep them on sheep.As soon as 1 house is built keep 1 vil to build 2 more houses,rest 2 vils go for sheep.Click loom:- During this time build mill with d vill u made d houses with.Also see to it that d scout is doing his work.If you find more sheep bring them near to the town centre and things like that.Ensure that there are 6 vils on sheep Otherwise your sheep will b wasted.Click 2 vils for bushClick 1 vil to lure boar:- When boar comes near to town centre then remove 6 vils that were on sheep and keep on boar.Click 2 vils and keep on sheep and after that all vils to wood unless pop reaches 20:-Till this time as the first boar is finished lure 1 more boar wid 1 vil who is on boar.Build 1 more house and lumber camp near a forest. After 20 click 5 vils n keep on stone:-Build a mining camp near d stone mine.Try to bring 1 more vil frm wood to stone so that d total vils mining stone is 6.During this time find the enemy with the scout.Click feudal age research:-During advancement take the vils on the boar for attack and build barracks and a house.Feudal age:-As soon as you reach feudal age start building towers at a strategic position like near a stone or a gold mine.Even a guard tower near his lumber camp would be a good idea.Also click 4-5 vils from town center and set gather point at wood.The advantage of such an attack is that as you are collecting so much stone so even if the opponent is using the flush strategy then you can defend by building towers in your base.If he is following a fast castle strategy then this strategy is very effective in raiding.After making towers,build archery range and fill the towers with archers.Try to build a network of towers so that he cant destroy any tower with vils(One tower protecting another) and then gradually try to get near his town center.Give sometime for economy and click castle age quickly.During advancement build stable,do the fletching research and make more archers.Castle Age:-If you have effectively collected stone then you can build two castles;one in his base(very near enemies town center) and one in your base just in case he raids you.At this time,he will also try to build a castle in his base for defense.You can disturb him by raiding with knights.The key now to win the game is going imperial age fast(around 30 mins is ideal).If you are in imperial age before he is, then make trebeuchets which will ruin his kingdom and consequently make him resign.The advantage of this tower strategy is maximum for koreans civilization because of their free tower upgrades.Turks BBCs can be used as a counter to the tower strategy during imperial age(against trebeuchets because of 12+2 range).Huns civilization trebeuchets are more effective because they are more accurate even without ballistics research.Position of your castle in the enemy territory is very important.Murder holes is an important research when in imperial age.Variations of the tower strategy exist.But the main point in this strategy is to reach fast feudal age(around 10-11 mins).Try this strategy and post your comments if you play with any variation.vinaysachdeva23http://www.blogger.com/profile/05702497616956123593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975450052388148014.post-73855651682273900272008-06-24T04:18:00.000-07:002008-06-24T04:19:04.442-07:00<table id="HB_Mail_Container" height="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0" unselectable="on"><tbody><tr height="100%" unselectable="on" width="100%"><td id="HB_Focus_Element" valign="top" width="100%" background="" height="250" unselectable="off"><br />Age of Empires is one of the most amazing and legendary civilisation style games that ever existed.Now in this third part, you're taken into the New World.

The English Premier League is the biggest Inter-Club Football Championships in Great Britain and of course it is popular all over the world. If you are a fan of Cricket, you will find a similar enthusiasm in the Indian Premier League. The Indian Premier League is a similar league between cricket clubs in India like the Mumbai Indians, the Royal Challengers and so on. If you are an Indian cricket Fan, you might already know this and you are probably waiting for the first match to come but for those who don’t, the IPL is starting today and if you don’t want to miss the match, I reckon you switch on your TV set right now. But before you go watch this exciting league, you better have a look at these details of the league matches.</p> <p>For this season, There are eight teams mainly based on eight Indian cities. They play each other in home-and-away-basis. Each teams plays other team twice and finally four teams will get selected for the semifinal and the winners will be playing in the finals of IPL. IPL is starting today and will end on 1st of June. There are many international stars involved in it and for the fans of cricket it is going to be great fun.</p> <p>These eight teams are Clubs from Kolkata, Mumbai, Mohali, Jaipur, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai and Bangalore. Players were bid in order to form the squads for each team. Those players whose values exceeded more that 1Million dollars are termed to be as Iconic players. Each team has one iconic player. The most costliest bid team is Mumbai Indians. Their cost is US$111.9 million whereas the second is Bangalore Royal Challengers having a cost of US$111.6 million.</p> <p>Well, if you are going to watch the whole league, you should keep yourself in touch with the latest scoreboards and schedules. But will you wait for your “full of advertisement TV channel” to show you the scoreboards or the fixer. I don’t think that’s a good idea. Because, if its me, I would just go to a website of the Indian Premier League and watch the scores and schedules there. And if you need a little help on it, here it is the non -official website of the <a href="http://www.indianpremierleague08.com/">IPL-Indian Premier League</a>. There, you can find latest scores of IPL, standings, squads, team profile and other updates related to IPL. Above all, It tells about other scores of matches that are going on. I hope it helps you guys with your cricket enthusiasm and make you keep in touch with the latest scoreboards. Anyway, enough talking. I got to go and watch the matches. So, bye for now. You too watch the matches in Channel ten (Australian) and enjoy the matches.</p>vinaysachdeva23http://www.blogger.com/profile/05702497616956123593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975450052388148014.post-86428959282390310772008-04-23T05:54:00.000-07:002008-04-23T05:59:32.394-07:00IPL T20: Delhi Daredevils won against Hyderabad Deccan Chargers<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.epatrakar.com/2008/04/23/ipl-t20-delhi-daredevils-won-against-hyderabad-deccan-chargers/ipl-t20-delhi-daredevils-won-against-hyderabad-deccan-chargers/" rel="attachment wp-att-218" title="IPL T20: Delhi Daredevils won against Hyderabad Deccan Chargers"><img src="http://www.epatrakar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/virendra-sehwag.jpg" title="IPL T20: Delhi Daredevils won against Hyderabad Deccan Chargers" alt="IPL T20: Delhi Daredevils won against Hyderabad Deccan Chargers" border="0" width="450" /></a></p> Yesterday very interesting match Delhi Daredevils Vs Hyderabad Deccan Chargers has played Rajiv Gandhi International stadium, <st1:city><st1:place>Hyderabad</st1:place></st1:city>.

Stein was able to state, with a straight face, that the famous "Deep Throat" who gave inside information that led to the revelations of the gross misconduct of the Nixon Administration, was in fact a "fabrication of Bob Woodward". Of course Ben Stein has only one expression, so his ability to lie easily should come as no surprise. The Nixon insider whose conscience led him to choose his country over his political loyalties was later revealed to be a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._Mark_Felt">very real person,</a> much to Stein's embarrassment.<br /><br />Ben Stein continued, unabashed, following the motto of Lucy Van Pelt whom he resembles in more than one way..."If you can't be right...Be Wrong at the top of your Voice!"<br /><br />With that in mind, Stein has decided to shill for Creationism and the Intelligent Design advocates, and he has done very well financially as a result. Does he believe that stuff? I doubt it very much...It's just another good gig for Stein in his role as a lobbyist for the Right Wing Christian movement, an oddity in and of itself since Ben Stein is a Jew.<br /><br />Stein is an accomplished writer of propaganda and is very good at making things seem like something other than they are by presenting opinion and hyperbole as fact. After seeing the financial success of Michael Moore's movies, he came up with the idea of making a "documentary" attacking Darwinism, which he calls a brilliant theory with huge flaws. Just so you know, Darwinism is not a theory, it is a label given to people who understand the scientific framework of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Darwin">Darwin's</a> theory, "On the Origin of Species" by those who do not understand a damned thing.<br /><br />Stein equates Darwinism with eugenics and Nazism in a tortured ruse of blather: "Darwinism was very popular with Hitler's Nazi party, who explicitly said life is about the survival of the fittest. [That] led to horrible consequences." (Newsweek interview April 14, 2008)<br /><br />Hitler also claimed to be a devout Christian and follower of Jesus Christ. Stein censored that information from his movie, which although he claims it is a "documentary" is nothing of the sort. It is simply another propaganda piece that censors factual information and presents wishful thinking and exaggerated claims in its place. By Stein's reasoning, Christianity would be evil.<br /><br />Ben Stein's movie, "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" will be released on April 18, 2008. Several of the people interviewed have already come forward and claimed to have been misquoted, after seeing screenings of the movie. Several scientists who are attacked in Stein's movie have been forcibly ejected from screenings even though they had tickets.<br /><br />The premise of the movie is that the Scientific and academic communities refuse to allow creationists and ID'ers to be heard because they want to suppress a valid scientific theory. This has been debunked by every single court case and every single peer review panel that has ever considered either one. Academians who present any of the forms of creationism as science are not dismissed because of their religious beliefs...They are dismissed because they are simply lousy scientists and cannot reason fact from fiction nor evidence from belief.<br /><br />The absurdity that Ben Stein is trying to make a case for is no more valid than trying to make people believe that Presbyterianism, for instance, is a science just like Mathematics. Science and Belief are simply two different things. "Science" is how we know that magic is an illusion...an obvious conclusion unreachable through any system of "Belief".<br /><br />All Magicians know that there is no such thing as "Magic"...Stein wants to present magic as a valid science and is willing to lie in order to create this illusion. Just remember...Magicians don't really saw people in half. If you fall for the illusion and the "Belief" that it can be done, somebody will get hurt.<br /><br />Peace,<br /><br />Stevevinaysachdeva23http://www.blogger.com/profile/05702497616956123593noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975450052388148014.post-29772349981768332222008-04-01T02:45:00.000-07:002008-04-01T02:58:28.877-07:00Age of Empire StagesAs you already know that age of empire is a strategy games where one needs to advance to different stages. There are four stages in <span style="font-weight: bold;">Age Of Empire</span> . They are given below:-<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Dark Age:-</span></span><br />This is the starting age of the game. In this age the only army unit available is Militia which is a very weak unit. It is almost equal to a villager. So one should not waste much time much time in dark age. One should collect 500 food and make two buildings and advance to the next age.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Feudal Age:-</span></span><br />This is the more advance age where one can make archers , skirmishers , pikemans etc. These units are sometimes very useful and are stringer than the units of dark age. Here also one should advance to the next stage as quickly as possible. One needs 800 food and 200 gold to go into the next stage.<br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Castle Age:-</span></span><br />This is a more advanced stage where one can build castle , university, town centers, siege weapons, Monastery etc. Here the army units are very strong. Here according to m the strongest unit is Knight which can be made from a stable. One can research from blacksmith for increasing attacks of different army units.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Imperial Age:-</span></span><br />This is the most powerful stag of the game. The units are mush stronger than the units of castle age. The unit added in the game is Trebuget which one can make from a castle. It is a unit used to raise the buildings of opposition. It can raise castles very easily.<br /><br />Hence one should advance to different stages in order to form much stronger units.vinaysachdeva23http://www.blogger.com/profile/05702497616956123593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975450052388148014.post-64827571067293603802008-03-27T11:56:00.000-07:002008-12-09T22:27:22.459-08:00Age of Empire<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWbLoJFF4gokFtceL8-Sy7YidCeCUYoZYUPdQP00-mDoDfuW-Z7wD15JgBKvinRqqp25VdL4OiWYcKSjZNULhi7J-DwlsKYXjTY9FswjXisr4LUNEYfl8SAJ67MPuayC9O-mH17nJqFb1U/s1600-h/aoe2f.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWbLoJFF4gokFtceL8-Sy7YidCeCUYoZYUPdQP00-mDoDfuW-Z7wD15JgBKvinRqqp25VdL4OiWYcKSjZNULhi7J-DwlsKYXjTY9FswjXisr4LUNEYfl8SAJ67MPuayC9O-mH17nJqFb1U/s400/aoe2f.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5166873209495632066" border="0" /></a><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-size: 180%;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">AGE OF EMPIRES</span></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><br /></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b style="">Age of Empire-Game of Game<o:p></o:p></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>Age of empire is the famous strategy game.
