Oops. I'm supposed to go visit my parents this weekend. And I just forgot about the sgotm for the past few days. Could someone take my turn for me? By the way, great job igel and conquistador.

I stopped on turn 9 instead of 10 because there's a nice little window here for war, but I think it might be discourteous to give the next player a 1-turn old war. So you can decide for yourself. The war could start with that spearman killing a chariot and us getting 2 workers. There's plenty...

Got it. Is whipping worth it in Osaka? Courthouse is only 7 turns away from completion without hurrying. Losing the 2 pop now will hurt production, and the city has great terrain and some room in the unhappiness cap. Whip now for 2 pop, wait for the whip to drop to 1 pop, or let the building...

Lacking any strategy advice for you guys, I guess I'll just say GO TEAM.(i'm still paying attention)

retro V: I just let the wonder get cashed out, then put the city on a warrior. Conquistador: Thanks. Those last 10 turns were some serious nail-biters and I was thinking the whole time how much it would suck to return the save with less cities than we started with.:blush: From now on...

wow ok all i have to say is RAPE http://gotm.civfanatics.net/saves/civ4sgotm2/Gipsy_Kings_SG002_BC1120_01.Civ4SavedGame But the 2 mainland cities are amazingly still standing. I had to rush an axeman with a pop point in Osaka so it's at 2 now, and I've had it starving for 3 turns. I just...

Stonehenge was built in a distant land in 1270 BC. The previous turn Kyoto had hit 8 pop but stagnant working 4 improved sea resources and 1 citizen, 3 unhappies. There were 91 hammers to go. A moment of silence please. Now, should I hurry production, cashing in 4 citizens for gold? It's...

My ISP dropped the ball so I'm just starting the turnset now. NEWSFLASH: I made it this far (9 turns) and now I need some input. I read this healing article: I don't want to move the archer, because if the barb decides to go up on that mine I'm going to have to spend a lot of hp getting...

Hey guys I'm here, and I should be able to get the game done tonight so you can play it tomorrow before you leave, Ronnie. There is a slight uncertainty because I just moved to a new house and I'm waiting for my roommate to bring his modem; I'm posting this from my work computer due to my...

It sort of looks like it's just us and izzy on this island. Look at that bottleneck above Barcelona. Nice +50% jungle on there. If we declared war and took that square we could cut her off from the capital until she got galleys at least. I think we need to be getting a settler over to that...

I will be gone tonight through Thursday morning. I agree with the slow and steady city placement (though i wouldn't have thought of it) After all it is marathon so we halve the opportunity cost of movement. Starting Thursday I will hopefully be able to play some practice games or maybe those...

Checking in, sorry I'm one of the latest. I'll read more and contribute to the discussion later today but I wanted to get a word in now so you'd know I'm here.

Delurking here 1. Just beat a couple Prince games, now trying out a Monarch game. 2. None 3. None 4. any team I'm pretty much a noob to this whole experience, but I did read about half of the entire sgotm-1 message board :scan:
