SGOTM 09 - Murky Waters

[JerichoHill]

Congrats on Medaling MW
We're waiting on OSS and the russians to see if we snag 3rd...or 4th...or 5th...

Team Misfits has an overview of team progress in their thread.

CFR planned for a T150 finish and will finish on T149/T150. Very nice optimization. We planned for T170, then T160, then suddenly realized we could finish on T153/T154. This leads me to believe that our strategy was better, we just didn't have the prior experience to know that we could finish even earlier. Unless they could have also squeezed more turns out of their game, but I doubt it.

 

[JerichoHill]

Lowther, we also had a similar experience, and continued to move our launch date up.

Nice game, MW!
A little bit overpowered finish... such science is better for Epic and Marathon speeds but result is good.
Waiting for CRC... They have a high potential, but no free players for now...

Really we expected 155 launch for a long time and only after 1000AD we shifted our plan to 153-152-150 and only on turn 142 we finaly decided to try 149.

So we started triple GA too late (3 turns left).

It doesn't look like you traded techs much, but did you gift a lot of techs along the way?

 

[LowtherCastle]

CRC finished Apollo a mere 15 turns before us...

Your biggest mistake was cottaging the capital. Our mistake was slow settling in the mid-game & not using paratroopers. CRC didn't make any serious mistakes.

 

[Gosha190]

CRC have finished T147.

Seems you are 3-d. Congrats!

 

[LowtherCastle]

Your biggest mistake was cottaging the capital.

Yes, in retrospect, that seems obvious to me, simply because the terrain demanded Biology for farm food. So combining that with the National Park in the capital and all the accelerated production from having a big city is quite powerful.

CRC have finished T147.

I can't figure out how well OSS is doing, but thanks. MW hasn't had bronze yet, so that's a nice metal to gain the knowledge of.

Sign-up thread for SGOTM10 is up.

 

[Erkon]

I'm not playing civ any longer except SGOTM (and ten minutes play testing of my own maps of course ), but I'm not going to miss this. Nukes on Emperor! What a bloodbath

Gnejs, this is your chance to make up for your silver-medal-missing Shaka-screw-up!

 

[Erkon]

Could someone within reach poke LC to remind him of signing up for the next game?

If anyone of jesusin, Gnejs and FiveAces have decided to persue non-SGOTM careers, please inform me so that I can find a replacement. If you are in doubt, please join and contribute as much as you want.

 

[jesusin]

I think I'll pass on this one. But don't start making silly things now, remember I'll be watching your progress! Good luck.

 

[Erkon]

DMOC has joined our team for SGOTM10. Please welcome him

 

[DMOC]

Awesome.

 

[LowtherCastle]

Welcome DMOC!

Should be fun. Ignore any posts from jesusin, between mouthfuls of food and women, he just talks nonsense...

 

[LowtherCastle]

I think I'll pass on this one. But don't start making silly things now, remember I'll be watching your progress! Good luck.

oh...hi jesusin! How ya doin'? Can't play? Too bad, we'll miss all your input...
