[BTS] SGOTM 13 - TNT thread

[2metraninja]

We need to hurry a bit - just checked and the dead line is 25-th the very next month!

So we have like 38 days to finish this game. I suggest longer sessions - like 40 turns or so. with 4 days for playing every 40 turns, this means that we can be at turn 400 in 3 weeks, where the game will most probably end, but we need to stick to the schedule.

I am most concerned, because I know each month how I submit my BOTMs in the last few hours possible

Besides longer sessions, we could try to adjust the roster with trading turnsets where someone can't pick it up immediately. Normally the idea is 24 hours for an "I got it" and 48 hours to play a 10 to 20 turnset or something like that.

It is now Tuesday and if fizbankovi can't play until the weekend, is there someone keen to pick up the save and play a set before the weekend? Even a 10 turn set would put us that much closer to finishing without a big squeeze.

This set would mop up the Vikings and set up the next 'victim' which brings up the question of who?

Previously posted by enKage:

Next segment we should finally switch religions, as theology is already in play. Time to make a strict plan what should go after ragnar.

I suppose next person should finish him, but we should adjust our politics for future ages.
a) should we go for spain and her lovely shrines? I'm not convinced, everyone hates her, she wiil be the only buddist. We can leave her for final
b) swith to confu and make stronger alliance with Joao
c) convert Hindu for Willem
Trebs are coming, we need theeocracy.

If fizbankovi plays this weekend then we have a few days to discuss some plans or is there a general ready to go?

@fizbankovi - does it make a difference to you if someone volunteers to keep up the pace and do a set before the weekend?

Very good organizational idea, captain!

[fizbankovi]

im ok with anyone jumping inbetween...

[dima42]

By the way, people shouldn't be terribly concerned; we're still ahead of most teams in terms of turns played

I will try to comment in detail by Saturday, whereever we are by then .

[2metraninja]

If there is such practice, I can take the next turn set too - I have a business with the Vikings unfinished

I am able to play tonight.

I notice at the end of your turnset report, you write that the game crashed and you had to upload the autosave. Maybe we should PM Alan about this? Just to make sure we won't get into trouble later on.

-jj-

Might be it is worth the efforts, although I think the admins read the threads. But just to be sure Keath can PM Alan.

I have PMed AlanH.

I suggest, as you do 2metra, that you play a few more turns. The important thing is to replay each or any moves you made before the crash when you restart your turn. That assumes that you can play a few more turns, say mopping up the Vikings, before the weekend when fizbankovi will have time to play.

I'll pass on AlanH's reply when I get it.

[2metraninja]

I am quite sure it crashed shortly after the start of the turn, so it was almost nothing I did in this turn.

[Keath]

Here is AlanH's reply:

It's fine if 2metraninja wants to continue with the game. Or you can wait for the next player - whatever is best for your team.

So, if you can continue, 2metra, that would be very good. Go get some of those Viking heads

[2metraninja]

Sorry about that - was really busy these days (and nights ) Even now I'm at work

I can play to finish off the Vikings in about 8 hours from this message time stamp (saturday night for me) - it will take me 2-3 hours and then can upload the save for fizbankovi to play in the Sunday night.

[Keath]

Okay, 2metra, that sounds like a plan.

*** Roster:

2metraninja (finishing the Vikings now)
fizbankovi (up next - playing Sunday)
dima42 (on deck)
The Dude Esq
justjohn
enKage
keath

[dima42]

Incidentally, I can't play much during the week right now (can still post). But it's okay, because we might need to re-evaluate where we are anyway .

Gl metra and fizban.

So, some 300 years later, I made big hole in the head of the last Viking in the game. So, you got your your Viking heads, although some of them severely damaged



I captured 6 Viking cities in this turn set, losing mainly trebuchets - those double hill defense fortified LBs are real pain to defeat. Now we have substantial army, some good GNP - about 70% increase thanks to the few markets, courthouses and the newly conquered cities. We almost lost our tech lead in the world, due to the war, but we are still at least on par. Anyway, we are 4 turns away from Galleons, so watch out you AIs - we are coming to get you and we are coming at high speed

We have 1 more Great General and one more Great Person. Too bad it is Great Prophet, but we can use him for launching a Golden Age

I guess our next target is Isabella because she is close, she is hated and she have juicy Shine cities, but I can suggest Vicky and Catherine as possible targets too. They are so weak and have so nice land, so it is pity to just stay there. London and Moscow are nice cities in the Top5 too.

Can I propose again my idea of settling all the uncontested land after some more warring to achieve the earliest Domination date possible for us? Remember the score does not play a role - only the earliest date.

The save is uploaded, so anyone interested can take a look. For now I have to go and kick some a$$e$ in the MTDG2 pitboss too.

[fizbankovi]

O_o my time is comming close!

[fizbankovi]

loaded saved game, im making my plan now

[fizbankovi]

who should i attack next!?!? im planing on the spanish
