Ok I grabbed the save. I'll probably get this done sometime tomorrow.

I was hoping this would finish up before mid September. I'll be gone most of the rest of the month.......Jeff

everyone leaves :(

Turn 0: 1370 AD Redlined some foot soldier invaders. Eliminated an Englsh counter attack. Moved forces into position to take the last English cities. Traded 1500 gp and WM to Russian for Corporation.

Turn 1: 1375 AD Nothing noteworthy took place.

Turn 2: 1380 AD Captured Washington but sufferred heavier losses than expected. Changed production in some cities to replace the Cavalry lost in the battle. Army is in place to attack Cantebury and remove England from this continent.

Turn 3: 1385 AD Germany and England sign an alliance against us. Cantebury is caputured with one loss. City was reduced to one citizen. Raised luxury slider to 10% to compensate for war weariness. Signed peace with Japan for 20 gp. Russia wants 1590 gp + WM for Scientific Method. We'll have it in 4 turns for less than that.

Turn 4: 1390 AD Nothing noteworthy took place.

Turn 5: 1400 AD Germany captured Miletos. More cities start to riot. I guess 20% wasn't enough so I bumped it to 40%.

Turn 6: 1405 AD Ur was captured and Babylon eliminated. They had a MPP with Japan so we're back at war with them.

Turn 7: 1410 AD Nothing noteworthy took place.

Turn 8: 1415 AD Oxford was captured and Elizabeth was eliminated from the game.

Turn 9: 1420 AD Washington flipped back to the Americans. I had moved the force that took it minus 2 infantry and 5 artillery. I figured that was enough to prevent a culture flip, but apparently not. I've moved a stack into place to retake Washington.

Turn 10: 1425 AD Captured Atlanta. There is a force almost in place to take Boston. I have fortified the force to retake Washington in the mountains because I don't feel there is a large enough force to retake it at this time. I just pounded it with artillery. I figure as soon as Boston is ours, a force can be moved to retake it and Philadelphia.

Score is: 2496

Note: Several settlers were built during my turns. I had no idea why these were built or what to do with them so they are fortified in the cities in which they were built. Luxury slider is still at 40% and some cities are still rioting.

Militairy is not really a way to prevent flips unless its a pretty huge stack, like half the army. If it is too little, you also risk losing your army.
Therefore, it is recommended to have either your whole army in a city, or only one unit or none at all.

The settlers i started to fill the gaps between conquered cities. We need to get to the 66% asap, so we need to cover all the land possible.

Is jeff1787 still available ?
please let us know if you can play or not.

I'm leaving in the morning and with packing etc I don't honestly think I'll have time to play. I apologize, but I really thought we would be fininshed long before this. I'll check in when I get back in about 10 days.

k Waitingtoderail, your turn.

Would be nice to finish this before the next sgotm starts.

OK -\

1425-1430
Began moving around settlers, made peace w/Germany (+100 gold), who were poised to take our cities on the middle island. Founded Selevcia to bridge gap between bablyon and Ellipi. You may disagree with me on this, but as much of the work has been done, I set all my workers to automate. I began bombardment of Washington. Japanese capture Eritria.

1435
Bombard Washington & Boston. Found Artaxata. Capture Washington. Japanese offer peace, I refuse in hopes I will recapture Eritria on the next turn.

1440
Move units towards Philadelphia. Capture Boston. Jeruselem flips to the Germans!

1445
Found Aurelianurum. Recapture Eretria, make peace (+100 gold) with Japan.

1450
Begin bombardment of Philadelphia. Found Hippo Regius. Russia demands I withdraw for the 3rd time on my march to Chicago. I declare war!

1455
Found Nicopolus. Buy refining from Japan for 3282 gold.

1460
Nothing of note, just troop movement.

1465
Aztecs demand suffimentum, I capitulate. Don't want war with them yet. Russia shows no fear in attacking.

1470
Capture Odessa. Germans are making some interesting troop movements.

1475
Continue attack on Philadelphia, their artillery units are proving quite resiliant. I have lost some troops in attacks, should shore up the offensive units in that stack. Move a new small stack towards St. Petersburg and the Odessa stack towards Chicago.

Thanks for the clarification on settlers. Since Annka isn't playing that means Wackenopenair is up and Shoe35 follows. I'll check back in a day or two to see if it is ready yet.

K, i'm playing my turns now (but need a break again)

I see a dark could hovering over this game. The aztecs are growing in power as we do, and we will have a tough over sea fight with them. I have no doubts about victory, but about the time it will take to achieve it. But lets not give up before time is over, so there goes:

I have destroyed america.
Rusia down to one city on an island in the north.

I signed peace with russia. I gave them 300 gpt for a tech (don't even remember wich it was). I declared war immeadiately after. I safely stole another tech, hoping to trade it, but since the germans had a monopoly on electronics, the trade was impossible also with all our gold added.
We should get to tanks asap and upgrade again. We will need them against the aztecs. After "aquiring" electronics one way or another, we might max reasearch it ourselves instead of waiting for the AI to do so.

The idea is now to remove germany from our continent. Then remove the russians from the plannet. Then move over to the other continents.
Meanwhile repeating the peace and tech for gpt trick.

The aztecs are our most dangerous opponent. We should not give them any technology, the should be as backwards as possible. Also do we need to build a navy decent enough to secure a route to the other continent for our forces. I started building ironclads in horbor cities.

Every tile on our continet should be claimed, settlers can be rushed if needed.

First German city is taken. Cities can now be taken quickly due to railroads. A city every one or 2 turns.

I have done the gpt for peace and tech again on russia to get electronics. I chose not to research Motorized at max. It would be 11 turns, but with war weariness we can expect to need spendings for lux. The research would be slowed down so much i prefer just waiting for the AI to research it.

The stack near minsk i used to intercept incomming forces, it can be used against the germans, but needs to stay on our railway system.

With our exces luxuries, i bough some wars between our competetors. I did so primarily because i hope they will destroy much of eachothers navies. There are way to many boats around.
I also traded for 1 luxury from the aztecs. It being the 7th, it should help a lot for happiness.

-WackenOpenAir
-shoe35 ---- Seems to be away, still no response. Count him out till he says something
-EL OSO
-Jeff1787 ---- Away for 1 more week.
-waitingtoderail
-Ankka ---- Won't play anymore.

If we are gonna finish this game, i think it will take 50 more turns or so. We *Could* do that in 5 days.
If we continu this speed, it will be 5 weeks.

With the next sgotm comming, it would be nice to finish this quickly. I think MB would think the same.

Therefore, i would like to make a little change to speed up this game if it is ok with you guys. I would say, if one who's turn it is can't play within a 24 hours after the last player uploaded, the next player is alowed to download and play 10 turns.
After that "next player" played his turns, the one who's turn it was gets a day again, if he still can't play, the 3th player gets to play.
The play order will get screwed up, but it is screwed up now anyway, and i don't think it should take another 5 weeks to finish this.

I will keep visiting this page several times a day and update the play order.

If you download, make a post in here right before you download the game so that we won't get 2 people playing simultaniously. Also, please upload within 24 hours after downloading.

This is not meant to stress people into playing faster by "punishing" them if they don't start fast enough, it is just meant to let the game progress faster by not having to keep the play order.

If you guys don't agree with this just say it. If anyone doesn't agree with this, we keep on going as we are doing.

So for now it is:

-EL OSO - Your turn
-waitingtoderail - Can play if EL_OSO can't start within a day.
-WackenOpenAir

Any of you both can play ?

I'll make a go at it....

http://gotm.civfanatics.net/saves/sgotm3/Ankka_SG003_AD1560_01.SAV

Got partway through 1560 - I can pick it up again tomorrow, or if someone wants a go at it, please feel free - I've captured all but two cities on the mainland and am close to capturing Berlin, the middle island is proving more of a problem because of German boats - I think it's time to put an emphasis on building our navy......

Thanx waiting,

Yes the boats are a problem, thats why i bought the guys up against eachother. Are they still fighting eachother?

I also tried to put emphasis on navy, but the problem was that we only have a few low corrupt coastal cities. And many completely corrupt ones.

I'll wait for you to finish your turns and maybe someone else "hopping in here" to play 10 more.

My time might also get limmited now since sgotm4 is starting and i am in pretty busy team :goodjob: (team offa)

BTW, i will not quit this sgotm out of my own initiative, simply because i don't like to step out when you start with a team.
However, if you guys or mad-bax think it is time to end this sgotm, you won't be dissapointing me.
(don't see this as asking you to take initiative either though, i just state this incase the sgotm is continues to prevent people from being upset by ending it)

They are still fighting, I believe. I won't get to play tonight, so if you want to take over for a bit, please do. If not, it won't be a great loss to me or anything if we don't finish, I might try to do it on my own for fun, I have noticed that I am doing somewhat better in my own games now, so I think what you guys have taught me has been great. But if you would like to keep going, I'll be in it too. I just think its a shame people have seemed to abandon this game.

I'll see if i have time tonight. I might also get my turns on sgotm04, but since thats just the beginning, that shouldnt take too much time.

I played till 1625.

I researched motorized and swiched builds to tanks.

After securing the continent, i made peace to stop weariness.

The Russians are gone.

I rushed 7 transports to invade the aztecs. The plan is to land on the hills that is next to Lunacantorium and Allegheny. Then the first priority is to disconnect their rubber 2 tiles west, it is their only one.
This will stop their production of advanced units, and also when cities flip their way, they will get outdated units in it so its easy to take back.

The germans are only lightly defended. That 1what is on the island together with the load that is in teh 5 transports near nurnberg should be enough to conquer that island. Keep the transports there though, i planned to stay at peace with Japan. We will have enough ground for domination without their lands. Just stay at peace to keep weariness managable.

Keep filling the gaps between cities, that includes the coast tiles (not sure if its only one coast tile or all sea tiles) to help reach domination limmit.

It seems to be only us now waiting.

Waitingtoderail u still there?

Yes, I can't play until Monday or Tuesday.............what the heck happened to everyone?

sorry I have been away at training.

will be gone another week maybe two.

I will check back when I can

Guys... I need to publish the results for this game. I intend to post the results on Friday. The server will continue to accept saves until the 7th October and will automatically update until then. You may of course continue to play until the end.

If you violiently disagree with this, then PM me and we can discuss.

I am sorry for the lousy captainig here. I just somehow totally lost interest in this particular SG. Sorry. :(

All ok with me, i am having fun now in sgotm4 (go read team offa)

HI. To clean up loose ends, have you guys finished? If so I can mark your last save down as a conquest defeat to close the books. If not, the submission system can still collect your saves and update the score graph.

Yeah, I guess this is finished.

:( :blush: :wallbash: :cry: :wallbash: :suicide:

I've set your last save to Conquest Defeat. Well tried, I hope we see Team Ankka again soon :D
