Hey everyone, this is ken's new blogsite. I've been a blogger since 2004, but stopped frequently here and there. My previous blog website was heez.net/kenhee. You can still check it out as it's still there, but its dead. I decided to use blogspot as its more time saving as i do not need to dwell into hours of html to make sure everything is coded correctly. Although i would miss designing the layout, but i guess i dont really have the time as i used to now. Well, enjoy your short stay here.

Protect my PC!

Have been playing basketball once every 3 days and also civilization iv multiplayer regularly these days. A civilization game can take about 10hours at least to complete, but it sure is hella satisfying. I'll do a little write up on the history of where me, eugene and seelin have played till.

For those people who have been thinking what antivirus should u use and not pay a single cent, look no further. I'm not gonna say AVG free, cos ever since u had to pay for it, it was like a landslide for the free version. Download Windows Security Essentials. Its simple and easy to use and takes up very little memory. Even when its scanning, i dont feel bogged down by it. Also, it has been rated has one of the best anti-virus out there!

Ok, now for some history writeup on our game. My civilization was the English empire, seelin being the Ottoman empire and eugene being the Kymer empire. We started off well on a continent, grabbing as much land as we could, but we werent alone on the continent. Germany, Spain and the Inca empires were with us on this same big piece of land. Naturally, war broke out as time came. Seelin was far out of reach of the enemy, but i was fighting a war at the frontlines. Spain was on the west of me, Germany on the south west and the Incas at the south east. I was practically fighting a war, which i had little chance to win, only to defend. Thankfully, eugene came to aid the war effort and seelin sent some troops to aid as well. They invaded Spain and their captial Madrid fell. I on the other hand, made a counter attack on the Incas and took most of its cities, leaving only 1 city standing. The tide of war had turned.

Being confident, we made plans to get Germany, so eugene went to hit directly at its capital, Berlin. He however failed and lost a bulk of his troops. By this time, we couldnt sustain a war much longer as my economy was starting to crumble and my citizens had grew tired of the war, making them unhappy. A cease fire was signed by both parties and the war stopped. We however demanded them to hand over precious technologies which we could use.

Time passed and the medivial age came, where knights ruled the earth. We declared war on them again and captured most of the remaining cities. My offense was quick, as i split up my forces into a two pronged attack. Taking down 2 cities at once and soon after, the war for me was over and i started to focus on my economy. Eugene however, faced a tough resistance at Berlin and Hamburg and so had lost many troops, but eventually, he took those cities down. Spain and Germany were left to fight us, while i had already wiped out the Inca civilization from the face of the Earth. Another cease fire was signed and peace reigned for 800 years.

I focused mainly on my economy after the war, with no intention of building up a sizeable army, since there was no real threat on the continent anymore. Stock Exchanges were built to increase my economy and after about 400 years, my economy was booming, at its peak. Knights were something of the old when gunpowder had came about in the world, but we still had no knowledge of gunpowder, as we didnt focus on war technologies, but rather technologies to boost our economies further.

In a swift and sudden change of events, Persia and his buddies declared war on us, on the other continent. It was sudden that i had to start drafting units to help defend my cities. They were using riflemens, while i was using longbowmen. It was like a Last Samurai, with knights fighting riflemens. Hard fought battle, but we managed to researched gunpowder and rifling and repelled the attacks with modern machine gunners and also the English Unique Unit, the Redcoat. Meanwhile, i was building up my fleet of ships to prepare for a counter offensive. By mid-war, i had a huge fleet, capable to ruling the seas and preventing any land attacks from landing. The English Royal Navy destroyed most of the frigates at sea and so, the coasts were clear and safe for fishing, whaling and oil rigs to function. Oil was an important resource now, as it was needed to power ships with steam power. We were now in the Industrial Age.

The industrial revolution brought about huge changes to our countries. Railways were built to make places very accessible. I could send reinforcements from London to Warwick almost instantly. By now, i was preparing transport for my troops to the other continent to launch an attack. Planes came into the picture with fighter jets and my first aircraft carrier was built. However, all these would mean nothing if i didnt have infantries. Air and sea power supports the war, but they cant win a war. However, in a sudden turn of events, a cease fire was signed and everything was suddenly peaceful. I took this opportunity to start amassing my army to prepare for any major war which i forsee to happen soon enough.

Eugene and Seelin by now were fighting a war on the west of the continent, while i was fighting a war on the east of the continent. We were sandwiched so to speak, but our forces always stood triumphant. The only worry now is a nuke attack and that would prove disastrous if one were to land on London, my captial city. We'll see how everything goes now, we still havent finished the game, but we'll see!
