Welcome to the forum! Two guides you might like to read: Early-Game Concepts for Beginners, and Complete Guide to Happiness. Looking at that screenshot, it looks like you're doing really well to be honest. You have many cities, presumably most of them annexed, and you've still got positive...

I like this idea. Welcome to the forum :) Could it be extended to or tweaked for any other civs/leaders? The Germans seem logical. Conscripted barbs can snowball the effect, and the bonus 25:c5gold: doesn't hurt. I think this :c5gold: is unaffected by game speed, so probably not great on...

Thanks everyone :) Glory to the new King haphazard1 :king: (The secret to not being team leader is to quickly nominate someone else; Sleepless, Ronnie1 and nocho know how the game is played :p)

Hi team. I'm not signing up for this one. We have a baby on the way. Not yet arrived - today is the due date. Best of luck! If I find some time I'll cheer you on through the lurker thread.

I don't think they should do anything about worker stealing. It's part of the game and is available to all teams. I would hope that after 20 SGOTMs and 83 BOTMs that all teams would have educational enough information available to be able to replicate the top teams in this aspect. Having said...

I love this thread :love: :coffee:

Awesome! Thanks everyone for playing. You guys do all the hard work while I sit back and enjoy the show :D I'm off to read the lurker thread - first impression is that Pollux has done a great job of summarising. I might not even need to do my own version. :coffee:

Oh, I just thought of another thing. In the interest of tradition, shouldn't Sleepless be taking the save from here? ;) Just kidding - it's yours to finish Ron :goodjob:

For the record, Sleepless had just played up to turn 161 when Haphazard wrote this: and The turn is now 176 and we're deciding if we submit a winning save on T177 or T178 :cool: :lol:

Oh, good stuff Ron. We really are on the brink of victory. Awesome! :D So, what you're asking is do we want to wager our entire game on whether or not our 11 knights + 3 elephants can kill a longbow + axe + 2 spears + ?? IBT. Normally I would say the odds are very good for us. If our odds...

I don't know what our Power Ratio with Napoleon is, but if it's more than 1.8 then I can't see how he could be mad enough to target us. At the Potential Victims pass the lowest hurdle is for a Total War on the first pass for a nearby neighbour. He needs to test: OttomanPower <...

Could make it more problematic forcing one to capitulate to us.

Hi team, I'm back in. The thread seems fairly bereft of screenshots. Last one I'm looking at was dated 820 AD. Nice list outlining the objectives Haphazard. So we still need to kill/capitulate a Roman and an English. I'm assuming both English are on a separate landmass from us. I think we...

Hi all. Sorry to drop off without a word. I'm in Australia for work and haven't had time to check in on things. I'll be back in three weeks (24 September). We might need a new team captain in the meantime.

Eyes on the prize: I do think we should send out some more explorers: A galley to explore around the southern coast. Spare a horse archer or chariot or two to reveal more along land. I'd say we aren't done conquering yet. 20 cities minimum would be a very strong empire. We could even...
