SparGamez2: Carthage (Rise of Rome)

[Bowsling]

Got it, hopefully I will be able to play tomorrow.

Sorry about that. I had the turnset almost done - and then I had to stop. I'll see if I can get the rest played tomorrow, if not, I'll hand it off.

The turns are longer than I expected

 

[Bowsling]

Turn 1:
Move stack of HC's outside Arminium
IBT:
Part of the Roman stack marches on to Lilibeo, some of it retreats
Turn 2:
Garrison and spearman inside Ariminium destroyed, one HC destroyed, city captured
One HC is destroyed, 2 Legionary IIIs and a spearman destroyed outside Ariminium\
Stack outside Lilibeo left in tatters, most of our HC's retreat
Found Nora in Spain
IBT:
Romans attack Lilibeo. Stack is mostly destroyed
Turn 3:
Found Misrata in Libya
Exploring HC disperses a Trocmian encampment



Large assault on Croton prepared.

 

[Hasdrubal Barca]

Nicely done, taking Arminium was a good step, but can we hold it?

1: Sparthage => Preparing a new game
2: Hasdrubal Barca => Giving water to his horse
3: Bowsling => Just played
4: GamezRule => Up!
5: Elephantium => On deck

I got it. I guess it is becoming just play a few turns, we don't care how many.

 

[Bowsling]

I hope so. That was a huge stack of Legions that attacked Lilibeo, so we shouldn't have to worry about that in a while.

[GamezRule]

I forgot about it... I doubt I can play today, but if you are willing to wait, then I will try to play tomorrow.

 

[Hasdrubal Barca]

As long as you kill some romans no problem

 

[GamezRule]

I got 1 turn in today. It may be a while before I can get back to this. I burned Croton down, since I really am not in the mood to play nice with the Romans, and I don't think we can hold much in Italy for a while. We got an army out of it though. Romans generated a leader in Iberia, but knowing the AI, they will probably use him to make a Library or a Temple.

I can't get the save to upload right now

 

[Hasdrubal Barca]

You razed Croton????? Why?????

 

[GamezRule]

Because Rome would get it back otherwise. It creates some breathing room. We can start conquering now. First we should set up a killing zone to deal with a counterattack.

 

[Elephantium]

When you get the save uploaded: I'll need a skip.

 

[Hasdrubal Barca]

 

[GamezRule]

Damn save won't upload!

Go ahead and skip me if you want to, but we lose out on an army.

 

[Elephantium]

I can post the save if you email it to my gmail account.

(username there is the same as here)

 

[GamezRule]

Save sent.

 

[Sparthage]

Sounds good Gamez. Can you post a turnlog?

 

[GamezRule]

Like I said, I only got one turn in, but considering I got an army I figured it was worth posting. I have been sick and I playing Civ makes me dizzy.

I burned Croton to make some room in Italy and we got a cav army out of it, and in Iberia about 12 Legionary III's popped up.
