All these years later, this is still one of the best things I've read here. I reread this story every once in a blue moon, and it never gets old. Helmling, if you're still around, thanks for writing this great story.

Cruise missiles are not to be feared IMO. They don't knock out anywhere as many units or improvements as nukes, and considering the shield cost, they really are a bad investment.

i'll kill the link to be on the safe side, but i think the forum would give the access denied page if a non-SABER person clicked it. btw, denyd & Cyc, you guys might want to think about starting a spoiler thread to help coordination and give the people at home something to watch and advise on...

I'd go with carefully. Should get the job done. And I'm glad we're going to begin an aerial assault next - the first step to removing the Council ss threat. Hopefully nukes are in the near future..with em we'll blow up their ss on the launching pad.

New thread here..

This will be the host thread for what I believe will prove to be an epic, intense, and awe-inspiring PBEM between 2 teams of elite SABER members. I will be taking a special interest in this game, seeing as I designed the map on which the titanic clash of giants will occur and upon which...

And the game has begun! Turn order is: denyd Calis Cyc Chamnix I assume you all know each others' email addresses, so I won't bother with a player order email. If you want a new thread, I could set one up in this forum or the SABER forum or you could GPS in this thread. oh, and the VCs are...

K, I got all your passwords and adjusted the unit support. Just one more thing left to decide: victory conditions. Should I turn on all the standard VCs or only the military ones? Also, since its an alliance game, should it be individual or team victory? Once that's decided, the game can begin.

OK, I'm almost done with the map. There's just a few things left that requires input from you guys. -Everyone starts with 2 settlers, 2 workers, and 2 spears (except Cyc, he gets 2 Enkidus). this what you want? -Should the teams be in locked alliances or locked wars or should you guys have...

Just to be sure, these are the parameters I should work with: Standard size map 4 tribes - 2 vs. 2 Pangaea No accelerated production No SGL's Statue of Zeus a minor wonder that needs horses Knights Templar a minor wonder that needs iron Increased unit support- what does this mean exactly? make...

I would be willing to make a map for you guys. I do have to warn you though: I have never made a full-fledged map from scratch before. I've tried a few times, but never finished. So, if you're willing to trust your game to a rookie, I could give it a go and have one ready within a week.

If they have rubber, they can complete the SS right? I would think stopping the Council from winning would be a fairly high priority.

Who gives a . .. .. .. .? Nukes are pretty much the only practical way of winning this game right now, and we have to break a treaty to do so, so be it. And before anyone raises moral objections or concerns of integrity, remember this is a video game, and the whole purpose of a video game is...

We have the cash, I think we should go for the steal soonish. The sooner we have nukes the better, since we're not gonna be able to crack Council's or FREE's defenses with conventional arms.

k, thanks for the answer. now i'm also psyched about the imminent capture of this island. :)

Along the same lines, how about "Pax tecum"?

I don't want to piss on anyone's parade, but I'm sorta confused here. What's the big deal with us capturing this speck of dirt in the ocean? How's it help us prevent Council's inevitable ss launch? Is there a strategic resource that the Council has that is only on the island? Cause I don't...

Only 2 days late: :bday:

Nicely done Marsden! :thumbsup: And since I'm a Minister in the story it has my stamp of approval. :p

Happy belated birthday! :bday: :cheers:
