Ducks have played another set, they have definitely accelerated their play.

At t160, they have a slightly better score than us (~10 to 15) and slightly less power.

Our graphs are very close together.

I think the sporks have really played 300 turns and just keep posting a save slightly ahead of ours to taunt us.
 
:lol:

They do seem to be always a few turns in front :mad:
 
Its easy to be obsessed with the graphs when they look so good for us. :)

You go back through the last 5-6 sgotms, and the Ducks & OSS always had very large leads in both score & power graphs.

This time, we are neck & neck with the Ducks. Seeing they are the benchmark team, that says something.

I remember thinking 'what on earth are they doing'. I wonder if they are thinking that about us?

Thanks, it does have a nice symmetry

Good luck, the worst part (the packing) is already over, the second worst part (unpacking) is still to come.
 
I think I am having turnset withdrawal. I am checking the thread at 1am, when I know SH isn't playing now. :)

I do hope Deckhand is available next week. We are short on turn players with Chris and Ben out until mid-December.
 
:lol: I know how you feel.

You know you are in real trouble when you start pressing F5 every 10 seconds.
 
I might have to take a look at the BOTM Saladin game. Or, heaven forbid, go to bed. :)

And seriously, if Deckhand isn't back soon, you will be up again after SteelHorse. We are that short on players. :eek: Ah well, we can just have SH play for the next 2 weeks. He is owed quite a few turns. ;)
 
You're scraping the barrel with me :)
 
:lol: I didn't quite mean it that way...

edit: I'm going to be working at a fundraising auction at my son's school most of the day tomorrow. I'll probably check-in in the morning, but will be gone most of the day. Don't wait for my green. I am OK with whatever... :thumbsup:
 
I know, but i couldnt let that opportunity pass me by
 
For those looking for a bit of turn by turn action.

T184 – while re-positioning troops spot a Rams Settler –Lysander takes a detour to convert him into a worker on way to Memphis.

But unfortunately
Other Player Actions:
While defending in the wild near Heliopolis, Maceman 7 (Clams) loses to Egyptian Maceman (3.44/8) (Prob Victory: 31.9%)
Civics Change: Brennus(Celtia) from 'Slavery' to 'Caste System'

He will now die for his actions.

Rest as expected.



EDIT: Research is now:
Qin - Astro
Sal - Nat
Hammy - MT
Celts - CS
I consider bribing Qin in on Rams for Astro to get some shared-war diplos, but I don't want him showing up and taking some cities that we may want. So I hold off on this. I realize he is teching something that we already have. If there is a view otherwise, let me know, but I am moving forward.

T185 –
Slight miss-build in RFBF, 1-turn in Barracks. Caught and changed to bank.
Trade SB Compass for 30 + Map
Missionary decides to take Galleon trip to avoid the wandering Chariot which Rams has somewhere

T186
Neb spots Rams missing chariot and disposes of - oh well the missionary likes to travel by water.
Alexandria has only 2 Axe defending - head down a turn earlier than planned with a contingent of Mace.


T188
Biology completed -> Lib
Alexandria falls – but loses a mace at 98% to an Axe – Argh
Elephantine falls.
Renegotiate Qin Trades for a few more gpt and Astro for 90 + map
Get a GG – don’t have plans for him. Thoughts super-unit? Settle?

T189
Lib -> Medicine
Econ in 1
Pausing for Lunch – it has been a good session. Checking save in.
Will resume in a few hours. Open for comments.
 
A little info and some screens.

Fake Humbaba begins: Bank (34 turns)
Isca begins: Bank (23 turns)
 
I think I have incorporated all the input during the break :)
Continuing...

T189
Looking at Giza - plan to raze. There is absolutely nothin for land.
Trade Banking to Hammy and Sal for 60+40
 
Nicely played, things are going very well I have to say. :)
...and for those scoreboard watchers, that is certainly nice as well. :D

Its a shame that Ramesses & Brennus open borders, his 4 LB stack is going to make it to his cap :(

Change Isca to build Christian missionaries, as we will be out of OR next turn, and this is the only city we own that can do it.

Galleon 1 & 2 to sail around now and pick up some units for Rammys island city.

Sell Sally gunpowder for his 60g.

Next turn, when we finish Eco, start the golden age & revolt to FM & FR, try to include 'war with ramesses' in the trades. Trade away Gunpowder/Chemistry/Education/Lib first. It would be very nice if they went down the Steel route, and we need to bribe them into FR so we can safely trade them Banking and then Economics to bribe them into FM.


edit: x-post, I took too long :lol:
 
Yikes - just had a game crash. Haven't had that for a long time.
I will PM alan and kcd. Anything else I should do before restarting?
It was just before hitting end turn for 189. So pretty easy to replay.
