I'm tempted to get Warlords just to help zyxy with the :whipped: ;)

@team:
Sorry for the really late warning but I am (as you could have guessed....) away from computers, game and Internet until april 23. Unpredicted family "stuff" :-(

Anyway congrats Methos, and zyxy, if possible skip me until the 23. From what I have just looked, not many players are still in. I'll come back bigger and stronger, I think (hope). Game-wise, situation is tough, but not desperate, so let's keep it up Smurkz :)

The situation is not desperate at all, it's fun, except on the player front.

@Niklas: of course it would be a great idea if you stepped in, and not just for the whip.
Yeah, and I need to use the whip more :D.

New roster: we're down to three players it seems: Methos, Eldar and me. Semolina hasn't posted for a while, Deaf Dolphin dropped out, and unkle is skipped until Monday.

So Methos or Eldar, if you want to play: first to post gets it. If nobody posts a "got it" before Sunday, I'll play another set to keep it moving, even though it's bad form to play two in a row.

@zyxy:
If desperate, I can drop 10 turns or so on Saturday. I'd rather play 20 turns on Monday, for sure :-) but I get your point on making things moving...

Nah, not desperate. But if you want, you can play a set of course.

unkle, did you get a chance to play?

@zyxy:
That's a got it. I'll play tomorrow, sorry for the delay. But this time I am back.

Ok playing some turns right now

Pre-thoughts:
* Not ready yet for attacking the Khan. I'll keep on troop building.
* Probably science to 0 after Drama (well not probably...)
* Cottage.

Turn 0 (210), 650 AD
Whipped caraval in ST.

Turn 1 (211), 665 AD
Uppsala -> Axeman (what to do there ? A forge maybe, for hapiness...).
Treazure Sword->Sword.
ST Caravel->Worker.

Turn 2 (212), 680 AD
We learn Drama. I set research to Music for the free artist (lightbulbing maybe) and trade value. On a side note I see that Ghandi already has it... So I switch to CS since Bersekers and Bureaucracy could change stuff.
We grab in trades:
- Construction from Brennus (Cats)
- Monarchy+40 from Hannibal (immediate switch to HR)
- 190 gold from Khan who fears we are becoming.... too advanced. That's not fair :-( (Side note to myself, I should have done the trades with Khan first...).


Turn 3 (213), 695 AD
We meet Washigton. Well he meet us and I still do not know how. He is mad, and not will to trade or OB. Too bad we need partners...
Confucianism spread in Trezure, which is fine, it's GW religion. Should we switch to improve relations and start a new trading partner ? I'll play some more turns before asking everyone the question.


Turn 4 (214), 710 AD
Hannibal has circumnavigate the globe.
I start Cats in ST and Vahalla.

Turn 5 (215), 725 AD
Wow. Genghis asks for 170 gold. I refuse, and war it is :-( It seems I am not yet accustomed to Warlords-like AI plying style... I was hoping to get few turns before that...
I stop here for some discussions, but here are my thoughts (that will be put into moves tomorrow):
* We can strike hime with our current force, but we should beware Gandhi if we drop too much on the Northern borders.
* I would kill asap the 2 chariots North to avoid pillage
* Do we want to wait for the Cats to be available before we attack towns ? Probably, since LB fortified are a pain. So I would kill troops and still workers if possible before the Cats can bombard.
* Uppsalla needs to be defended.

The save

Alright, things are heating up!

I agree we should play defensive for a while. Kill the chariots with troops from Valhalla and shore up the defenses of Uppsala (fast units from Treazure can get there in two turns, whihc hopefully is fast enough). Last time I checked the defenses of Samarquand were fairly weak and I think this should be our first target, but rather with than without catapults.
Do we want to keep Samarquand? It misses the northern gems but catches a fish...

It would also be good to pillage the Mongol horses (they have only one source I think) and to protect our cottages on the border.

Good trade decisions! And I would have made the same decision vs the Mongols.

Washington has bad relations with everyone, so he will hopefully not be trading with anyone. I would sell or gift drama to him in the hope that he will like us enough to make a deal for Optics.

Ghandi has bad relations too, btw.

The single engineer in Valhalla seems not so useful. And Smurkztown needs more happiness and more improved tiles soon...

@zyxy:
Thanks for input. I agree on not going too fast with Khan: we need cats before trying his towns.

Ok playing right now.

Turn 5 (215), 725 AD
First fight against 2 chariots with HA and sword: 2-0 (that was easy).
Genghis has 2 horses sources, so pillaging one is not enough. Second one is deep into Genghis territory.
Moving troops towards Uppsalla, keeping some around Treazure.
Whipping the caravel in Nidaros (this city is not growing fast enough....)

Trying the Drama trick with Washington. Gifting it. He agrees for OB, but would not trade (yet ?) for something interesting...

Turn 6 (216), 740 AD
Our Caravel finally discovers... Isabella, who as usual is not willing to trade anything with us. Mfff...
Some troop movement towards Upsalla. I'll start pillaging soon. Cats are on their way, Genghis is still not making any moves. I fear Ghandhi much more...


Turn 7 (217), 755 AD
Bad news: Genghis converts to Hinduism, like Brennus...
Starting some pillage with our fast units.
Samarqand is defended with only one longbow :eek: Well. Hurry up cats.
Vahalla cat->cat.
On the bad news side again, Washington has learned Optics. When things heat up, they heat up :(

Turn 8 (218), 770 AD
We meet Mehmet. He is a nice guy, OB and I trade him corn for 6gpt. He his bouddhist, as Isabella and Brennus. I'd like Boudhism to spread in our land...
After a long chat, we agree on Optics for Currency+Mono+30g. No way of getting Feud, which would have made CS faster. Currency should improve our research rate by getting some more Trade routes.


Turn 9 (219), 785 AD
Real stuf starts. We lost a chariot and an HA to an invading Mongolian force (2-2) composed of 4 Kheshiks.

Stopping there for some inputs and thoughts.


The save

* I started some Spearmen (How could I have not thought about that earlier....)
* We can upgrade the lone warrior to spearman (at least one)
* We need to remove our workers probably.
* I do not think they stand a chance in Upsalla but did not make the calculations. A spear or two would have been tremedous helps...

Yeah, we should have thought of spears...

Mongols have CS and Machinery, so we can expect maces very soon.

I think we need to attack Samarquand asap. Against one longbow we could start with 1-2 cats and some sword cover. Perhaps pillage the road to Samarquand to slow down reinforcements. Mongols might wait a bit to heal their Keshiks and hopefully we can make peace soon. All our troops seem to be heading down south, though...

EDIT: 3 combat 1, CR 1 swords have about 95% chance to defeat 1 fully fortified CG 1 longbow in a city with 20% defense, I think. Odds improve slightly if we prebombard. Four swords have 99% chance.

The worker farming near Uppsala probably needs to stop and run away. The warrior south of Nidaros perhaps needs to move up north to be out of range - no point in sacrificing him for nothing.

Perhaps give one or two of the swords in Uppsala a combat II for better defense?

The tile NW of Treazure needs to be defended against landings.

Any progress, unkle?

@zyxy:
:( Sorry foir that but I am on a huge workload surge... If you think you or anyone else can play the current game, I'll upload it, because until tomorrow night I do not have any chance to do something the right way.
Sorry for the long turnset, I should have been better at handling my current planning.

By the way how many players do we have left ???

Only 2 it seems :(.

If you can finish your set tomorrow that should be fine. Good luck!

zyxy: so the 2 of us he ? Let's kick some serious a$$ :-) then...
I'll finish tomorrow, if possible towards 20 turns.

Only 2 it seems :(.

Make that three. I'll do my best to make time.

Methos, maybe if you do a bit less HoF-ing. You were listed as the most active player of the update... :p

Methos, maybe if you do a bit less HoF-ing. You were listed as the most active player of the update... :p

It's not as much as you think, considering the majority of those games were 3850 BC conquest victories! :D

I'm finding that while feeding our daughter it's very easy to play civ one-handed. I've actually played more civ since she's been born than the months leading up to the pregnancy!!!

I need to catch up with your alls progress, but go ahead and add me back in the roster. Who knows, maybe we can talk Niklas end to joining in too! :mischief:

I'm still here. Conversely I find it quite tricky to play Civ 1-handed, especially shift-clicking stacks.

Glad to hear that we have some one-handed players back.
Maybe Eldar and Methos you should play together :D

Anyway I'll push to finish my turnset today.

Ok I'am back.

Turn 9 (219), 785 AD
Reordering some productions, preparing next moves. Sending 2 Swords and an Axe towards Samarquand. Cats should arrive soon. A spear should be whippable in Upssala next turn if required. Workers are stopped to be able to flee. SW of treazure is protected.

Turn 10 (220), 800 AD
Our warrior is killed by a longbow near Nidaros (2-3). Keshiks move back except one which seems to move to Samarqand.
Trading with Brennus is reopened, I take Gold for 8gpt (better than Silk for now I think).
Movement towards Samarqand, and some defense.

Turn 11 (221), 815 AD
As expected the AI move the Keshik towards Samarqand, which is a good move... We are facing a bad fight. For many reasons (as getting a spear from Treazure next turn and not willing to loose a Cat), I do not engage and move to a jungle place.

Turn 12 (222), 830 AD
No fight. I should be starting in 2 turns.

Turn 13 (223), 845 AD
3 Keshiks in Upssalla. I whip the spear and upgrade what is upgradable. 2 Longbows also on their way.... Next turn is critical. I'll attack then. We have 1 cat, 1 spear, 2 Swords and an Axe. Another Sword and 2 cats are arriving next turn. Upsalla should be fine (I hope....).

Turn 14 (224), 860 AD
We lost one sword in Upssala... (2-4).
One bombing, but we do not have yet the possibility of taking the city... I have to wait, hoping that Upssala will hold (which should be doable with the new spear...).

Turn 15 (225), 875 AD
No attack in Upssala, 1 Keshisk moving towards Nidaros ?
Bombing (down to 8%) and with 3 swords, 1 Axe and a spear, I attack.
We lost our 2 first battles (2-6), and the Longbow is still not touched :cry:
I stop and wait for some more troops... But I think we are in a reaaaaaly bad situation :( I wanted to enforce the victory for a quicke peace, but was unlucky (or a bad player, probably....).
And to get even better a great general is born in Karakorum :cry:

Do we have a good warmonger with some better options ? Don't want to make more bad choices....

Next player :( sorry for that.

The save

Bad luck in part, and maybe you've been too hasty...

The worst thing IMO is not this war, but the tech situation. We are way behind and with very little trading opportunities this will not easily improve.

Now for a roster. Last to play was unkle, and before that I played. So
Methos or Eldar - UP!, whoever grabs it first!

Got it, playing now.

Alright, good luck!

Roster:
Methos - Up and playing!
Eldar - On deck
zyxy
unkle - had some difficult turns

Turn 225 (875 AD)
Methos: Smurkz: Switch citizen from cow to cottage. Switch another from plains forest to scientist. Switch engineer to scientist.
Methos: Treazure: Switch citizen from gold to river town. Need to increase growth.
Nidaros begins: Axeman
Methos: Nidaros: Switch queue from spear to axement. No hammers invested.
Nidaros begins: Spearman
Methos: Scratch the above, forgot we were facing GK.
Uppsala begins: Barracks
Methos: Uppsala: Switches to a barracks. We might as well build experienced units.
Methos: Set research to 0%.
Methos: It really sucks starting a turn when the majority of the units have no movement. Just a suggestions, but end the turn at the beggining rather than the end, please.
Smurkz Town grows: 11
Smurkz Town finishes: Spearman
Trireme loses to: Indian Caravel (0.96/3)
Catapult loses to: Mongolian Keshik (6.00/6)

Turn 226 (890 AD)
Methos: Promote a few cats with Barrage I and hit Samarqand.
Catapult promoted: Barrage I
Catapult loses to: Mongolian Longbowman (5.22/6)
Catapult promoted: Barrage I
Hernan Cortes (Great General) born in Smurkz Town
Catapult defeats (2.30/5): Mongolian Longbowman
Spearman defeats (4.00/4): Mongolian Keshik
Christianity has spread: Samarqand
Captured Samarqand (Genghis Khan)
Samarqand begins: Courthouse
Methos: Okay, so it was only a couple cats. Either way, we take Samarqand.
Chariot promoted: Combat I
Spearman defeats (2.72/4): Mongolian Keshik
Methos: We remove the keshik within our borders.
Methos: With Samarqand in anarchy, Uppsala is able to take the sugar for some extra :food: and :commerce:.
Methos: I don't like fighting a defensive war, so the remaining assault force from Samarqand heads south.
Methos: Set research at 90% with CS complete in 4 and earning -22 :gold:/t.

Yeah, I know, I only played two turns....

I stopped here as we received a great general and I have no idea nor experience with them, so I'm unsure what to do with him. Does anyone else have any suggestions? These are the options I know of:
Merge him as a superspecialist where he'll grant all units +2 XP
He can be used to grant 20 XP (spread out) to the units on the same tile as he is

I might as well list what I was doing:
I have a small force heading south of Samarqand towards a possible city located near some gold. I'm not really excited about the location, but it's the only place where I'm fairly certain GK has a city.
I'm sending our chariot into Mongolian lands for some intel. We have no idea what his empire looks like, so it makes planning an invasion extremely difficult. I'm fairly certain this unit will get killed fairly quickly, but hopefully he can learn something before he does.
We suck technologically. Izzy is the only one who needs a tech we have and she isn't willing to trade anything. We're currently researching a tech that everyone already has, meaning we're not gaining a trade possibility. If it wasn't for the fact CS is very beneficial for us, I'd say drop it and research something else. We need to research something the AI's don't have.

Here's the 890 AD Save (http://gotm.civfanatics.net/saves/civ4sgotm4/Smurkz_SG004_AD0890_01.CivWarlordsSave) if you want to take a look.

I didn't realize how much slower I play while watching our daughter. You realize it took 1.5 hours to play the above two turns! I'll play some more this afternoon or evening, so hopefully someone with more experience with great generals can help me out. :)

@Methos:
Sorry for letting a turn with no-one moving, at least it let you modify the production in a few towns...

About great general, I would say merge him, but I have seen forum threads about getting a Medic 3 unit (Explorer maybe ?). I'll check about that later. Merging him in ST is probably a good idea too.

Research-wise I thought CS is really badly needed. But I agree next research needs to be something tradable. I really was thinking about switching to a religion that would help us, trade-wise...

About great general, I would say merge him,

If we do merge him, what would be the best city to do it in? ST? I wasn't for sure if we had a better military production city or not.

Research-wise I thought CS is really badly needed.

I agree, CS is something we badly need. I just hate the fact that we have to self-research it when everyone already knows it. Hopefully we can catch up soon.

I won't finish my turns until this evening.

@Methos
As you may know (or not) it is an election day in France today. So I will be partly online chatting tonight. Feel free to stop by :-)

I would say ST for merging, or the other city North to ST.

Yeah merge the GG.

If you did join the GG to a unit:
- The unit gets free upgrades (v. good).
- The unit doesn't lose any XP when it is upgraded.
- The unit gets access to "special" promotions.
- As already mentioned, 20 XPs are spread evenly amongst all the units on a tile as a one-time bonus.

However the +2 XPs from a single city means we can run Org Rel and still have a city producing 5XP units. Which is nice.

I have had a GG only once, and used him as warlord. Rather nice, for the free upgrades (attach him to a warrior or axe) and the special promos (mobility and leadership are nice).

But adding to a city would be good too I guess. Valhalla seems to be our best production centre right now, but ST will improve once we switch to Bureaucracy, so I would choose either Valhalla or ST.

I have had a GG only once, and used him as warlord. Rather nice, for the free upgrades (attach him to a warrior or axe) and the special promos (mobility and leadership are nice).

I don't understand this. By attaching him does that mean earning the 20 XP, or does attaching grant something else? I'm a little confused here, as I keep thinking [civ3] leaders.

The way it works is:
You can attach the GG to a unit in the same tile. This particular unit gets upgrades free of cost, some special promos, and doesn't lose XP when upgrading (as Eldar listed).
The 20 extra XP are divided among all the units on the tile at the moment you attach the GG.

I think that attaching the GG to a unit gives a large immediate boost to our forces, whereas joining him to a city gives a smaller but long term boost. I really don't know what's best.

:lol: Sorry guys, but I'm going to have to pass it off after a whole two turns!!! :lol:

I don't see me being able to get to it for a couple of days, so I'll pass it off. Again, sorry. I sure helped. :sad:

Well at least you conquered a city!

Roster:
Eldar - UP!
zyxy - on deck
unkle
Methos - just played

Got it. We're agreed on merging the GG, right?

Got it. We're agreed on merging the GG, right?

Yes. From all the discussions I read (both here and Poly), the first one is best used by merging.

Fine with me, I am definitely no expert on this.

Played. More fun with Genghis, he'll talk but only if we let him have Uppsala. We can at least build 'zerks, but he has Knights so I'm researching Pikes. We also now have Literature from Izzy. No pics as it's hard to post 'em whilst holding the baby :D

After weeks of waiting, suddenly both my SGOTMs have turned to me! :lol:
I won't be able to get to this before saturday evening at the earliest. If someone wants to play a few turns before that, be my guest!

@zyxy:
bedtime right now and I am away until sunday. But sunday night if required :p
Good luck with the SGOTM !
And go Smurkz :D

Sorry guys, I didn't get to it yet.

Unkle, if you want to get it tonight, please do! I can probably play tomorrow.

Turn 240, 1100AD: We're organized (yeah, I know, forced), we don't have a state religion, and we're not running Bureau. Not looking good.
MM a bit. I trade our only sheep to Washington for Rice. It's our only sheep, but rice brings two health with a granary, sheep just one. I trade our last corn to Brennus for silver, which brings in two more happy faces. Then I cancel the corn for 6 gpt trade with Hannibal. Then I discover we are importing clams, although we have them ourselves. So I export our own source to Washington for 7 gpt. Net result: +1 gpt, + 2 happy, + 1 health.
I think Valhalla should get the Heroic Epic - it already has the military guy.
We don't really have a good GP town - I guess Samarquand could do it, with two sugar and one fish. But developing the fish will be quite hard.

Turn 241, 1106AD: A knight kills our berserk. We had 70% chance of winning :(. Our most vicious spear knocks out the knight. A berserk and sword head for the new Indian town.

Turn 242, 1112AD: Our spear was slain by yet another knight. GE born in ST. Nothing we can do with him right now, so he waits.
We kill the knight with another spear, let's hope it survives. I switch to Bureau (switching out of OR would have cost another turn of anarchy, and I am not certain that's worth it.)

Turn 243, 1118AD: The spear survived and turns back into Uppsala. We start to bomb the Indian incursion.

Turn 244, 1124AD: swordsman at Uppsala defeats a knight. Valhalla berserker -> HE. We now have an extra gems, and trade it to Brennus for fish.

Turn 245, 1130AD: Lose a spear against a knight at Uppsala. ST spear -> spear. GK gets a GG. Kill the knight with another spear. ST hires 2 scientists.

Turn 246, 1136AD: Engineering -> Calendar. We could use some sugar. Our berserk attacks Jaipur, kills the defender and pillages it for a whopping 9 gold. I am halting research for a few turns so we can upgrade a spear to pike.

Turn 247, 1142AD: Hannibal discovers Liberalism. Our engineer would discover Feudalism, which doesn't really help I think. I am assembling a little strike force in Uppsala. Sell our WM for some 150 gold which allows me to upgrade a spear to pike and turn up research again.

Turn 248, 1148AD: zzz.

Turn 249, 1154AD: ST pike -> pike.

Turn 250, 1160AD: Ghandis caravel attacks ours at sea and we win! I'll let it heal.

Turn 251, 1166AD: Another Indian caravel attacks ours, and this time we lose :(.
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b293/zyxy/Smurkz4_4_AD1166.jpg
We discover Calendar, and set research to Paper. Treazure pike -> pike. Hannibal completed Notre Dame.
Our pike attacks a knight and wins.

Turn 252, 1172AD: Hinduism spread to Uppsala. Do we want to convert? Hannibal and Ghengis are Hindu, but some of the others are not. I think not, it will not really help our civ unless we start spreading Hinduism to other towns.

Turn 253, 1178AD: Now Hannibal comes asking us to convert to Hinduism. I don't really know what's best, but I don't want negative modifiers with everyone else, so I decline.
ST pike -> berserker, Nidaros harbor -> berserker, Valhalla HE -> berserker.
Our pike attacks and kills a knight.

Turn 254, 1184AD: sell gems to Hannibal for 8 gpt.

Turn 255, 1190AD: Valhalla berserker -> berserker. I think we're ready to attack Tabriz. I am marching some troops over. Tabriz holds two longbow and a crossbow. Our attack stack consists of 5 cats, 3 berserks, 2 swords, 1 axe and 1 pike. Should be enough. Sell our WM for some spare change.

Turn 256, 1196AD: Ghandi built University of Sangkore. We bomb Tabriz.

Turn 257, 1202AD: Ghandi's caravel attacks ours and loses. Valhalla berserker -> court.
We lose 2 cats and 1 berserker at Tabriz, but
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b293/zyxy/Smurkz4_4_AD1202.jpg
I decide to keep it. It starts a granary. Lose a pike against a knight, but a spear takes him out.
Ghengis still makes demands of a city for peace. But we have the upper hand now, so maybe we should punish him a bit more.
Anyway, that's for the next player!

The save (http://gotm.civfanatics.net/saves/civ4sgotm4/Smurkz_SG004_AD1202_01.CivWarlordsSave)

I guess I am up, but will not be able to play until tomorrow night (tonight being movies night, planned for weeks since getting a baby-sitter for the twins is not as trivial as it seems... new parents, you'll also learn that the hard way later on :D).
So if one of the one-armed of the team are willing to play this one tonight, go ahead.

Nice trading :goodjob:

Looking better, I guess. I'd suggest building a couple of Hindu missionaries, spreading the word, and converting. Also will Genghis talk better terms now Tabriz is down? Going Hindu though will annoy Brennus, but I guess we have to pick our friends and Hannibal right now is probably the best friend we have.

As for the clams deal - India pillaged our clams, leaving us with none; Hannibal offered us some of his in the inter-turn, and I took the deal. Hopefully the stack of boats I parked on our source is good enough protection now though.

unkle, you guessed right!

unkle - UP
Methos - on deck
Eldar - warming up
zyxy - just played

My comments:
Converting to Hinduism could be beneficial, I don't have much experience with the religious stuff. Otherwise maybe leave OR. I would like to stay on the nice side of all the overseas AI, at leats to the extent that they will trade techs to us.

It is looking better on the war front. Ghengis will not accept peace unless we give up Tabriz, but I think we don't need peace now. Ghengis is sending < 1 knight per turn, and our pikes typically win. We can keep the pressure on and take more cities with a combined arms stack of berserkers, cats and pikes, possibly with crossbows in the mix. This should work well at least until rifles, which are a long ways off. I would like to take the town SE of Uppsala, and maybe more (Karakorum would be a great GP town IIRC), depending on the maintenance costs.
Make sure to keep pikes along the border to defend against knight incursions. Knights don't get defensive bonus, so attacking is often an option.
Also, I would like to get some tech(s) in peace. Ghengis is behind the others, and he might give us the leg up that we need. Then, when peace breaks out we build up and strike again. In order to survive, we need to eliminate Ghengis IMO.

Things are not so good on the research front. I would head for universities, unless a good trading option presents itself.

Uppsala would be a great commerce center (cottages!) and also a good FP location. I think we should start working on that.

There's a GE in Treazure. I don't know what to do with him.

Where do we want to build the National Epic (the one that doubles GP points)?

Ok playing now.

Plan is take one more city from Genghis. For that I'd like some more cats, so build them when possible (cats and pikes).

Research-wise, I also think that without Uni, it will be tough to catch up the AIs, but it means no trade soon.

I'll update soon (probably playing my turn in 2 sessions).

Turn 1 (258), 1208AD
Movements and healing.
I need to add to the plan adding some defense in Samarkand to release the sword there.

Weird stuff... Just got a crash (video driver) in the middle of second turn. I need to check what is the procedure here. Sorry for the delay, but until I know how to handle this with the admins, I'll stop here.

Weird stuff... Just got a crash (video driver) in the middle of second turn. I need to check what is the procedure here. Sorry for the delay, but until I know how to handle this with the admins, I'll stop here.

:hmm: I just scanned the rules for both SGOTM and GOTM and I can't seem to find any definitive answers. Here's my suggestion.

You've obviously stopped, that's good. Don't continue yet. PM or email the GOTM Staff and inform them of the crash. Let's not continue until we hear back from them.

Edit: I noticed Gyathaar is online, so I PM'ed him. Does anyone know the new email for GOTM Staff?

Load the latest save you have, and try to repeat all the moves as closely as possible.

Hopefully you have autosave on every turn

@Methos:
thanks for bringing Gyathaar in, I had PMed AlanH, and thanks God their answers are the same :D

I'll continue my turnset tonight, hoping that no other crash will happen, since it is the first of its kind in all my Civ4 player life (ie a BSOD...)

Hope the crash is nonrepetitive.

Concerning the sword in Samarquand: you could even consider moving 1-2 berserkers there, because Ghandi keeps landing in the area. If we kill the settlers before founding, we get free workers :).

Ok restarting now. Let's hope it works flawlessly.

Humpf. Absolute weird stuff. I DO have autosave on, but there is no save of my turnset... Maybe not a video crash.

PMing admin on that right now. Let's wait for their answers. But maybe I should recuse me from playing the turn I made (and the turnset...).

Perhaps you can reproduce what you did? It's only one turn...

But yeah, wait for the admin's reply.

Ok got a PM from AlanH. Better to skip this turnset. I'll play next.

Sorry for that. I am anyway re-installing my system, I am experiencing some instabilities in other applications.

Sorry for that. I am anyway re-installing my system, I am experiencing some instabilities in other applications.

No problem. Did you upload the most recent save? Is there anything else that the GOTM Staff require us to do? Just checking, so we don't accidently disqualify ourselves.

@Methos:
I do not have a save, that's the issue. If I had one I would have replayed the last turn. So whoever takes my turnset should play from zyxy's save...

Would you take the turnset now, Methos ? With your free hand :D ?

OK, roster check:

Methos - UP!
Eldar - On deck
zyxy - practising the whip :D

unkle - I'll put you on skip while you reinstall your system. Just let me know when you're done and I'll slot you right back in after the current player.

Good luck, Methos!

Got it. It'll be tomorrow though before I can play.

@Methos:
Any progress ?

@zyxy:
I am up and running again, so you can settle me after Methos turn.

Methos, it's been almost 3 days now. Please play within 24 hrs, or you'll be skipped.

Last turnset was almost 2 weeks ago. This is getting out of hand. From here on, I'll institute a sharper regime of
24 hrs got it, 48hrs to play.
Civ4 is not nearly as demanding as civ3, this should really be doable.

Roster:
Methos - up
unkle - on deck

Sorry, RL has been extremely busy. Unkle, since your up and running can we swap? I don't think I'll be able to get to it until this weekend. Sorry guys.

I'm on holiday for two weeks from Saturday, consider me skipped 'til then, though I will have 'net access.

@methos&zyxy:
I could say 'got it', but AlanH asks me to be skipped...
I could PM him to see, but if someone could play like 5 turns, that would be nice and easier for me.

Sorry guys, but I didn't do so well. I decided to push Genghis into peace, so I sent some forces into his territory to force the issue. Two knights sneaked past me and hit Tabriz and the ole girl fell. My invasion force got hit just outside of Karo... and Mongolian troops took out about three of our berserkers. What I'm confused at, is why the berserkers were the defenders. Sorry, but I'm not that good of a warmonger. Hopefully unkle can fix my screwups.

Attack on Tabriz. Movements.

Turn 2 1256AD:
Good news. We get Tabriz back. Bad news, all our troops around Genghis capitol are dead...
I am preparing an new invasion force in Upsalla. We'll see that later (and healing pikes + Cats + Berzeker should help).
On the research front, news are not good either...

Turn 3 1262AD:
Building up... I hope.
Trade-wise, we seem to be dealing sugar to everyone. So I trade our new one to Isabella for 8gpt.

IBT
We lost Tabriz again, despite a terrific defense... Things looks bad, knights are a real pain...
Hannibal gift us Philo :-D First time I see that...
We get a new great general, I would consider making a medic 3 unit on a Pikeman, or a chariot. I stop here for team thinking, and will play the rest tomorrow, getting a Medic3 unit unless hearing otherwise.

The save

On the same note, we should consider switching to a religion (hinduism maybe, since Hannibal is a great friend). If not switching out of OR would allow more research.

We are in a pretty bad shape, but since we need to loose this game :-D

@zyxy:
I know this is not right, but I need to ask for a skip now :blush:
I am currently on an unscheduled buisness trip away from computer most of my time, which means I cannot play until Friday night.
If anyone can pick up the save and play that would be terrific. If not, I'll finish that Friday on my flight back.

Sorry for that again.

unkle, please continue. I cannot get to this until sunday at least.

Ok I have played some turns.
Current situation:
- we took Tabriz back, and kept it
- we are 1 turn from Education
- we are facing a impossible fight in Mongolian territory
- Genghis has GunPowder, and I was still able of beating a great generalized Musketmen.

I really would like some advice, since:
- Genghis does not want peace
- we could loose too much troops near new Sarai
- Edu could at last open some tech trades

I'll finish tomorrow, but please if you can look at that I would appriciate :)

Sorry for not turnset description, I am still jet-lagging a little :mischief:

The save (http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/99729/Smurkz_AD-1346.CivWarlordsSave)

Sorry, I don't have time to check this thoroughly today, so just a few quick comments:

- Edu will definitely help, there are a lot of civs that still lack it, and everybody will trade with us. Maybe we can even get Astro? I would lower research to 10%, some cash could be handy. (Also we can trade with cash-heavy civs first. It will be very important to trade in the right order in order to get maximum benefit). It should be possible to get all visible techs and money, and perhaps even more (on the next turn).
- Press, Astro, Nationalism and Music are not known to all and hence might have trade value on the next turn.
- It seems like Divine Right is around but Versailles has not been built. And we have a GE hanging about. Hmm, Uppsala maybe?
- Combat log shows we lose a lot of berserks against knights. Are they not defended by pikes?
- Good news on Tabriz! Maybe it's time to take our gains for the moment and stop the fighting?
- Khan will not sign peace for some reason, but he will sign a cease fire. Not sure what that does, because I never used it. I suppose it's a peace treaty that can be cancelled at all times? So it might give us a short breathing space needed to do some research & trading, and get back into the game. Possibly build up forces and launch another attack.
- Our stack at Sarai seems too small and will indeed probably lose, or at the very least not win. So cease fire seems atractive, even though I don't know what it does...

Sign the cease-fire, if it's cost free. It's like a Peace Treaty Lite - it can be broken at any time. I guess he's suffering as badly from WW as we are by now? If not worse as we're winning the war territory-wise.

I am still on holiday and skipping 'til I get back home on Monday.

Ok back on stage.

Genghis is not accepting a cease fire... At no price acceptable for us I mean :mad:

So since retreat is not an option (we'll loose the same or nearly) I fortify hoping for the best (and do some bombarding).

We loose the lonely cat (weird moves....) and that's all.

Trading Edu we get:
- Printing Press, World map and 20 gold from Brennus
- GunPowder, WM and 260 gold from Washington
- Isabella is not trading tech with us (she hates Brennus I guess....) so I skip this one... and take the 220 gold. A bit light but better than nothing.

Retreat and regroup is next move, we cannot (yet ?) take a city. Research set to chemistry, faster pace (some already have it, but grenades may help).

Ok time to give the save back. We are as expected facing knights around our cities, and Genghis is not on a peace mode. Pikes as defenders should be upgraded to be sure no city is lost, and we could be able to attack some of them in the open too... Our strike force should be up for attacking in a few turns, the amount of cats (upgraded at least to CR1) should allow taking one city, with pikes for defense and some berserkers for last assault after suicidal cats.

We are a little better I think, even if the fight with Genghis is still tough.

The save
