Our first new team member is: enter 'name' here.

Lets all welcome him to our team. Unsure of you gender ATM.

Hello, and thanks for the welcome. I will try to be as active as I can, this means I can hopefully check in at least once a day but sometimes it may mean every other day. As I said on the registration thread i'm a monarch/emperor player but i'm always learning new things. heres to a looking forward to a good game! :beer:

I'm a Male btw.

Welcome! I thought the same thing - check in every evening. No such luck. First thing I check in the morning, last thing at night, and I can't keep away during the day. Once the woman I share the work computer comes back from vacation I'll finally be able to get some real work done!

Hi enter 'name' here ... welcome to CFC and to MIA [party]

heh I know what you mean, its the middle of the day here and look where I am.

Hi enter 'name' here ... welcome to CFC and to MIA [party]
woooo good to be here :dance: . I've been registerd here for some times but shortly after I did I wiped my comp only to find my civ3 disc's didn't work :cry: . Recently I got the craving so I bought the 'complete' edition, saw the team demo game and started posting.

Welcome Chamnix! I hope you enjoy our team.

Thanks!! I like to think I'm a halfway decent civ player, but this is my first multi-player game and my first Demogame so please forgive any completely ignorant remarks I make. My first reaction - so much to read...

It's my first team and demo game as well. As you read our threads I'm sure you'll find me beating you to the punch on many of the ignorant remarks. Happy reading!

Git back in line behind me Grimsy ;) I'm king of the stupid noobie questions ... welcome to MIA Chamnix :wavey:

btw ... someone has started a thread to ask for clarification from the demogame veterans

Welcome to Hygro who has been assigned to M.I.A. :wavey:

Who is actually just wanting to lurk the forum.

Welcome to member #19; General W :clap: :clap:

welcome to the team General W may the force be with you :crazyeye:

Salute' Generalisimo W :salute: ... don't know why I went into italian :blush: but never the less welcome to MIA [party]

Nice to see a fellow Washingtonian in the game! Although I bet that I get a wee-bit more rain... ;)

It's awesome to be here!

Looking forward to playing with all of you!

(RegentMAn - I do live on the dry side of the state - but I went to college in Seattle (SPU) so I have a special place in my heart for the wet side of the state. But now... I don't think I even own an umbrella anymore...)

Welcome Rambuchan to our team. Another personal invite.

Nice bit of head hunting Mr. Prez :salute: ... our team now has some soul :D

Welcome Jarom [party] ... i am sure the Prez will enter your details very soon ;)

Thanks, It is nice to be member of such great empire.

Jarom - It's good to have you!

Don't be intimidated by joining late. I joined a couple turns in - and I'm about to be the next president! :crazyeye:

Looking forward to hearing more from you!

rujikin [party]

Welcome, and please, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask

[party]

Mmmmm Butter :crazyeye:

So, are we going to do a massive military buildup soon as we get cornered by another empire's borders?

Also is this team a bunch of war mongers :confused: I like war mongers :D (Unless their RL people in office >_<)

Can we get units named after us? Rujikin is an orignal name and should only be used for sworded landbased units

As President - I'd like to "officially" welcome rujikin to the team!
(Although, Fe333au will through you a much better party... if you can make the guest list.)

If you have any questions - feel free to PM me. (I'm not the best one to answer any questions - but I'll be happy to try!)

Viva MIA!
*this was also posted in the Citizen list! See how much I want to welcome you? It's crazy!

We really are not that much a warmongering society since we are not that advanced in our civilization. Our first part was to expand as quickly as possible. So far we have done okay at that.

Welcome Imnzerg [party] ...

Where can i sighn up my email for the save game list? Sorry i looked through all the stickies, must have missed it somewhere.

Anyone can look at save ... but not move any units :nono: ... just goto the 1st page of Save Information stickied thread for all the passwords and stuff you need ...

You can send me a PM with all the relevant info.

For joining up with this team you get a complimentary :nuke: and a :spear: and a stupid danceing erm thingy :banana:

Welcome Imnzerg

Another "official" welcome to Imnzerg!

And - as our newest citizen - you may have noticed we've already named a worker after you!

If you have any questions - feel free to PM me. (I'm not the best one to answer any questions - but I'll be happy to try!)

Viva MIA!

General W, please don't make the new Citizen think that having a worker named for him is an Honor. Until that worker tills the land, porviding a harvest for our nation; until he lays flat a swath of road, to facilitate Commerce; until he bore through the living Rock to unlock the Profit of the Earth; He will remain a Slave.

But welcome anyway!! You've got quite a lot of reading to catch up on. If you have questions, or want anything summarized, just PM me :)

And Welcome to our newest member (atm) M4 Sherman [party]

Yeah, I like that guy, Lee Ermey. That program is really good :).

Panzer is the name of an entire series of german tanks. "Panther" is the name of a specific german medium tank. It was very strong, and the allied M4 Shermans had a hard time facing them. Luckily they were numerically superior.

I can imagine the aspect of your games: enemy lans filled with pollution, cities reduced to rubble, bad AI mood. I prefer artillery. Once I built 80 of them to bomb the damn indians.

LoL, Well I was playing a 2 continent map standard size with me and my dad on one contient and russia in the entire other map, half of russia is polluted/bombed to the ground since i rule the sea's with a fleet of around 100 ships and 10 nuclear subs and have a stock pile of 20+ ICBM's and 5-10 tactical nukes :D But >_< I have a small landing point and even half destroyed russia refuses to fall to my armor's might, It takes 25+ tanks to even destroy a few city's because russia is so damn stubborn and won't just die... Russia is even fighting a 2 front war (my landing near the north and my dad's 50+ tanks at the south with loads more on his coast) and were just barely makeing progress, either they stock-piles a crud load of tanks or just to damn strong, i about have my final attack force complete to do an attack in 5 different places to thin their units out to an extream and hopefully finnaly destroy them :mad: :mad: :mad: Talk about fortress europe

Not only that but their lucky in battles :mad:

This must be a bad RNG mood. Sacrifice something to them (the RNG gods) :).

I dont want to sound rude but it might be best to take this disscussion some where else to avoid cluttering the thread. (depends what the gov thinks)

Deleted by me :D

>_>... <_<... I actully have enough troops to wipe him out if i used everything, but I gotta watch our for my dad since he has about 2X the land and production capability's of me cause i got stuck in a cruddy place so I gotta hold my nuclear weapon's and keep a large defensive force and hope russia thin's off some of my dad's tank's while makeing an attack force to hit them with (I seen about 9 stacks of 10+ tanks around his coast and who knows how much more inland) So im finishing a war I have had since the mid-point of the game and getting ready for another right beside my homeland

It seems to be an interesting game. First, if you want to destroy the russians, you should wait until your dad defeat most of their armies to launch the offensive. Then you will get them :). Don't use nukes, it will destroy your future conquered land and will anger the other AI's. You don't want an AI dogpile against you and your dad, don't you? Once I nuked the french and immediately Mongolia declared war on me. Most of the others did the same after a few turns.

And don't forget the gods :).

edit - OK, last post.

I started a thread called Chillout Room ... as far as I am concerned can be a place for citizens (and our lurker :wavey: ) to have OT chats ...

:woohoo: We have new members.

But I can't see it.

Welcome TyranusBonehead. I wonder if he is a doughie in disguise. :hmm: ;) That is just a joke on your avatar and the fact that the said team has a Simpson theme running through it.

@ M4 Sherman ... Chill Out Room (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=127994) which is not stickied ;) ... and a good place to talk OT.

Welcome again Boney [party] ... you will find Chamnix who is our Domestic Minister's analysis of city production options particularly interesting ... blew me away :wow:

@All New Members: Welcome! We dont' have a FAQ thread, (although one might get started) so until then, you can see the way things work in General_W's informative Flow Chart (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=3098053#post3098053)

Also, feel free to PM or Email (always better) anyone on the team. Everyone here is pretty helpful and polite. Also, don'e be afraid to post your thoughts on any of the topics. We have several different skills levels (and computer speeds and connection speeds ;)), and our players reside in 7 different time zones. Don't forget to post your contact info in the Citizen List (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=124458)

The more you talk, the better our game will be, and the more fun we'll have.

Welcome [party] Cloner4000

and happy B'day on 25th :beer:

I think we have a new member - I can't really pronounce his name on this keyboard until someone shows me how, but I'll call him/her Cubed for the near future.

Glad to have you here! Feel free to post as much or as little as you like (though we'd all love to hear what you're thinking) - no one will get upset if you choose to remain silent.

There's a bit going on right now. I'd suggest reading MIA Grand Strategy Meeting (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=131684&page=3) thread, starting with post 43, on page 3. That'll fill you in on most of the theory underlying where we're going with this game.

As for a quick summary, just check the State of the Empire (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=130223) thread. That'll provide you with all of the turn-by-turn events, with mellifluous descriptions from General_W, our current President and Turnplayer.

You can download the save from our Gmail account all you want, just make sure you DON'T MOVE UNITS. You can only replicate the exact moves the turnplayer executed, otherwise you might get info that we're not supposed to have.

That's a quick intro, I'm sure you'll get the rest of it all soon!

Welcome Cubed [party]

Hope you enjoy the MIA experience ... sorry about the cube joke ... Your name appears as 3 squares to me ;)

Hey Longog ... welcome to the good ship MIA. :beer:

Feel free to ask questions ... meet and chat ... Oh and have fun :D ...

Also vote for me in everything OK ;)

BTW ... Hark I hear dreamtime diges and the quaint call of the kookaburra ... :D Stone the Flamin' Crows I think we got us an Aussie team :woohoo:

Hi Longog :wavey: Any friend of Feaurius' is definitely welcome here. I hope you will quickly shed the "lurker" label and start posting opinions - just jump right in.

We may be getting another member soon :thumbsup: ... Welcome gbno1fan if you do manage to get here :D [party]

I'm here, and let me introduce myself...

About me: I'm a 21 yr old finance honors student at DePaul University, engaged to be married in Aug. 2007.

My strategy gaming history/philosophy: Started with Age of Empires, C&C, SimCity, and various Tycoon games. I always think a strong economy should be the first and foremost priority, then defense, and then any aggressive actions. As for civ, I suppose I can be considered a newbie even though I've owned civ II: test of time for years. I guess I didn't like some of the features of it, so never got into it. My fiance just bought me civ III complete and I like the changes they made, so I've been playing it during all of my free time, slowly working my way up the difficulty levels.

My expectations: Have some fun, check in as much as I can (probably often during times when I'm working), but I will be limited since I do have a full-time job and I'm a full time student.

Welcome [party] - a new team member who actually posted!!! :band:

You are joining us at an interesting time - we are preparing for a war against our previous best friends who are on the verge of betraying us. Our economy will be suffering short-term, but hopefully we can rebuild it fast. Feel free to jump in all discussions with any suggestions, opinions, or questions anytime.

:wavey: Oh and what the Prez didn't mention ... you already have a worker named after you ... so you are already in a civil lather, sweating hard improving your team's infrastructure ;)

Excellent news. Feel free to ask anything you want about this team.

Great to have you, GB! If you stay up with our team forum, you will learn quite a bit. I've already learned more than I imagined I would.

My fiance just bought me civ III complete...

Does this mean I'm not the only one with a Mac? :)

No, you probably are still the only one with a Mac. I refuse to buy Apple anything (including iPod - I have a Creative Zen Micro instead). They should just face it - they need to make their things much more compatible. I can just be quite frugal from time to time (hence my interest in Finance at school), and have waited until Civ4 came out and the price on Civ3 went down.

:lol: still the only loney one eh Mr. grimes :shakehead :p

Welcome Atrahasis [party]

Hope you enjoy the MIA experience :D

Any questions just ask ... the stickied threads may assist you in acclimatising.

Wanted to post an official welcome to our new (and active!) member, TheInfamousPops!

We're going to need a nickname for you! :lol: IPops maybe?

Anyway, Welcome! And I look forward to working with you! (when I get back from vacation)

:beer: [party] :beer:

To help catch you up on MIA history, I suggest you start with our History Thread (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=153421)
Hopefully that will be helpful in catching you up on what's gone on!

Great to have you!

- General W, Domestic Minister.

Hey thanks for the welcome, Pops is fine. I've already spent much more time than I should have reading on the teams actions, but didn't come across the history thread, I'll give it a read.

thanks again.

Welcome to MIA pops :beer:

Nice to hear from new voices :D

Welcome, Dutchfire!
This game is entering it's final stages, but we welcome you to be as involved as you'd like to be for these remaining turns.

The MIA Imperial History (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=153421) thread is a good place to start to understand where MIA has come from, and where we might be going.

If you have any questions about integration into MIA, please don't hesitate to post in this thread. Any questions about the past should likewise be posted here.

Thoughts, comments, and suggestions about the future (and present) situation of MIA should be confined to the relevant threads. So, build queues are the reign of the Domestic Minister, and should be discussed in his thread; relations with KISS are dealt with in the KISS thread, etc. There are two first-page threads that are decidedly not for just anyone to post in. The "Instructions for the President" thread is just that: where the president (turnplayer) goes to find the orders for executing the turn. Don't post there unless you are a Minister of something - he might get confused ;). Likewise, the "State of the Empire" thread is a complete record of the actions carried out by the president for that turn. It is purely an archival thread.

So dig in, and start asking us questions. Everyone here is very helpful

(this post stolen largely from Peter Grimes with minor edits ;) )

welcome to MIA dutchfire. :)

Glad to see some new blood! I'm also glad to see General_W has relinquished any claim to modesty by plugging his [propaganda] History Thread.... His appeal to my ego, notwithstanding.

Dutchfire - MIA has played an outstanding game, and I sincerely hope you have time to read up on how this game has gone. The next 10ish turns are going to be tremendously fun to be a part of :)

Hello team MIA,
Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm reading our Imperial History now. Good job so far. Hopefully I can help us win.

[Shameless plug] I'll be updating the History thread here very soon I hope - so that should get you a bit closer to our present day history-in-the-making. [/Shameless Plug]

In the meantime, State of Empire threads 9 and 10 should catch you up most easily. Feel free to ask any questions!

:salute:

What are our plans for the future? Invade the other continent?
I haven't ever played any expansion pack of CIV III, just vanilla and I wasn't even very good at that, so I don't know how hard it is to land on their shore.

The Grand StrategyThread (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=131684) has a record of most of our deliberations on that topic, Dutch.

I would start around post #650 or so. That's when we determined that DNUTs could no longer be allowed to benefit from our inaction.

Another place to check is the Term X Defense Ministry.

But, in a nutshell: The Plan

Build Bombers. Bomb DNUT cities and Kiss cities until they are very weakly defended, then move in with Marine to take the town. Then move Cavalry into the town, and use their 3 move capability to march into the next town, which will likely not have much defense. Move along rails to the next town, take it, &c until we reach the domination limit. When our turn is complete, we will have surpassed the Domination limit, winning the game. Basically, the turn we start our invasion is also the last turn of the game. T

Sounds good!
