Fine, after I finish my set in Hawk 02...

Pics:



I would reccomend keeping the Zulu alive a bit longer, so we get some techs from the GLB. However, we should definately keep a few Immos around Bapedi. As for the rest, send them North, Babylon needs to be pwned.

Save is Attached.

Did the Babylonians have any techs? We could've used them.

No, they didn't.

Do you know the general direction of Babylon?

I agree about keeping the Zulu an OCC, but make sure Bapedi is surrounded. We don't want them sneaking any settlers out.

Roster:

Qoou: UP
Killer: On Deck
Tasslehoff: Warming up
Choxorn: Just Played

I don't know exactly where they are, but their warriors came from the North of the Zulu.

We don't have to completely surround Bapedi- a few units around it will catch any settler.

True, but make sure you place them equally apart.

Qoou, it's been awhile. If you don't respond in 12 hours, I'll play.

I'm done. We have the GLIB, got Math, went 7-1 in the battles and met 4 AI. However, we aren't under a lot of pressure from them. On the pics it shows the general direction of each AI except Rome and Celts.

Unfortunately the Zulu had snuck a settler out sometime, and they aren't dead. However, we found the settler and 2 immos are in pursuit.

I also MMed Susa ans Pasargadae to crank an immo every 3 turns (generating 10spt)

It shows Babylon, Zulu settler, and our stack

Um... Tassle, you're up, in case you don't know.

Really? Oh, crap. Got it.

Ok, done. We're running into a deficit problem again- -8GPT right now at 100% taxes. It's only going to get worse as unit costs rise. I've got Persepolis building the Colossus hopefully to combat this, but if the group agrees it's a bad idea, we can still switch to an Immo with no shield waste.

Huh?

China in bottom right. Zulu somewhere to the Northeast.

Egypt can be seen in bottom right. Zulu is somewhere close to the Northwest

Didn't you kill them?

Oh, and got it.

Whoops. I meant Celts and Babylon, respectively.

Colossus is probably OK...none of our wars are at a critical point right now. However the sooner we get currency (markets) the better.

Oops, double post

I'm done. I am happy to report the following things:

-We now only have a deficit of 2 gpt due to loss of Immortals.
-Egypt no longer has Iron. I think.
-5 enemy cities burned.

On the downside, our Immortals keep dying on the defense to Archers and Swordsmen, and 3 of them were killed by invncible Roman Warriors. Okay, I attacked them across a river while they were on a mountain, but that doesn't give them enough of a bonus to kill teh immos!

Pre-Turn (350 BC):

Turn 4 (270 BC):

Here's some screenshots.



Hopefully, Egypt has no more Iron, and no one else but Babylon (They're too weak to be a threat) has any. Well, if China had it, it wouldn't be too bad, but I don't want to see any Leigonaries or Gallic Swordsmen.

Save is attached. Oh, and speaking of which, Tassle, if you save it as "3ccawptw", could you make it "3ccawptwpersians" to be distinguishable from the saves of a try #1?

Yeah, tough luck on those warriors.

We should concentrate on Egypt and Babylon right now, and just have a few immos protecting us as militia. they are the weakest, and once they die they won't build anymore cities.

That's basically my plan- use immortals to kill incoming Romans and Celts. I also have an Elite Immortal to the north of China that could easily be used to ravage their lands.
