Got it, cant play tonight, will play tomorrow. T

Can't go, I'm out of town until Tuesday night.... skip please. T

Is there some math behind that statement? Just curious... I'm fine with cashing him in. I think we need commerce more than production anyway.

Well, I just stared at the game situation for like 20 minutes having no idea what to do. I've never been in a situation like this. So finally I just said f*** it. What was the result? What's that rubble under our horse archer? Yes it WAS York. I sacked York. If I sacked York I could...

Maksim, you attached the save from before your turns, not after. I need the current save to continue.

IBT Napolean attacks Rome, lost 2 Catapults and took out a Longbowmen (freshly whipped) and 2 Axemen. Not a good start. Turn 1 Our Macemen kills French Horse Archer outside of Rome. IBT Losses French: Horse Archer, War Elephant Aztec: Maceman Turn 2 Not much IBT Nothing, no more...

Ok I'll play tonight.

Got it, will play tonight (Monday)

Hmmm, I'm sorry I was busy this weekend and I didnt think I'd be up so quickly so I didnt check until now. I can't play until monday night (tonight). So if the next guy wants to skip me and play today then that's cool. Otherwise if no one goes before about 6-7pm pst I'll take my turn. T

I think you are overestimating the importance of traits. I make some effort to incorporate the traits into my strategy, but they don't completely determine what I do. My most recent win on Immortal was with Saladin, and 2 before that was Hatsheput. In the Saladin game I made a GP farm where...

I disagree. I wouldn't give up 3 cottages for 3 hammers. With that city, my strategy would be to ignore the desert hills, and work the cottages until the max pop is reached. I said I agreed with the forges. I just don't agree with the markets and courthouses. The Return on Investment is...

Sure, I build all sorts of the early wonders in Emporer and Immortal games. Just depends on the situation. In certain situations I'll chop Stonehenge. Occasionally I get stone hooked up and it isn't completed yet, then it's a 2 chop wonder and it pays for itself in 2 cities (assuming I'm...

Regarding the promotions, only one Cat has Accuracy, I don't think I did that but if I did it was a mistake. The 4 that I built all have Barrage II. It's true that maybe I should have left them for when they're actually used, and with most troops that's what I do. But with Cats I basically...

Glad to see that the leading Axeman took out 2 defenders, that's what I was hoping for. I think it might be a mistake to 'settle down' after only taking one or two cities from Tokugawa, I think we might find that we spend a good portion of the game working on our economy only to find out...

Turn 1 Whip Barracks in Barcelona, minor movement. IBT Finish Barracks, Archer, Axemen, discover Alphabet. Turn 2 Start Axeman (1 turn from overflow of the whip), Axeman (3 turns) and Lighthouse in the new Iron city so that it can grow past size 2. With Alphabet comes tech-trading...
