Referring to Monty as him/her? Did Bede find you a leaderhead mod to go with his cute little advisors? Or are you about to finally give us the briefing on your "civ drinking rules"?barbslinger said:

I like the idea of holding on Monty too, but will Monty hold on us? Now that's the question.
Pults? I don't think we can build them per varient rules.

Actually I don't drink anymore. Or any less for that matter. The only reason I started with the loose set of rules is because I used to sit down with one beer and then after 2-3 hours of play I realize that I still have 3/4's of the beer left. There is not any set of drinking rules that I follow a script to. When I play GOTM though it is usally late Friday, Saturday night after drinking. Then armed with a bottle of Crown Royal and a fridge full of beer I play. I make them up as I go along but having war declared is definately a shot. Losing a city is a full swig from the bottle. Building a wonder earns a leisurely beer. A city riot is a beer shot as is any unit loss.scoutsout said:

Forgot about the NO PULTS. Guess it is be nice to monty time. We can deal/gift a couple gpt to keep him off our back.

as far as attacking "him", he has 2 sources of iron and at least 1 horse so we can count on more swords & horses. waiting is ok if you don't feel we're ready. build more galleys and make some new friends. just be ready to take on knights as well as mdi's later as we won't be the 1st to chivalry.

We may not be the first to chivalry but with research turned off we should be able to build about a 1200g-1600g warchest. If we snag leo's thats 20-27knights right out of the gate that we can knock the capital off with.

Preturn We have 5 spears and 15 towns with an active settler. So we can build 11 more spears. They may be needed. We only have 1 galley and a curraugh for looking for neighbors.

Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. I'm sure 'slinger will be warring soon enough. I'm actually more than a little pleased that I didn't have to wait for the Industrial Era to get some warring in this SG. The first SG I was in with Barbslinger all I got to do was play whack-a-barb until we had rails. (And all the lands of 2 AI.)

At least you got to war in your SG. IIRC you were the only one with warring turns in the SGOTM2... Although I really do appreciate you saving the set-up for me. That is indeed a stress reliever.

@ Misfit. Wish I was enjoying a leisurely beer right now. I only do that, "usually", when playing GOTM or personal games. A few games where there was no pressure I would toss back a few though. The week is filled with work mostly. However, check back with me tomorrow and my posts may be a little slurred.
SpikeIt
Deity
Okay. Got it. Looks like I'll be keeping to the plan. Build up the treasury, keep searching for contacts, build up some infrastructure, build more spears and horses, and, oh yeah, continue keeping Monty wonder building. And since we are relatively stable at the moment, I presume we should be looking to revolt to Republic as soon as possible. Not too much to think about. 
Is the team still in agreement to settle on those gold hills? At least one more city down there would likely make sense. I'll probably try to pull off another settler to move down there.
Expect the post likely by tomorrow evening, but I might be able to sneak this one in tonight.

I'm not sure we really discussed it. Gozpel likes it (obviously - his idea). I included them in a dotmap... but I don't really know if we discussed future settling plans enough to call it a consensus.SpikeIt said:
Aztecs have (at least) 11 cities, we have 15. My $0.02, I wouldn't mind a few more towns if they can be made productive. We probably ought to build a FP somewhere to increase the OCN.

Taking stock early...
Aztecs have 15 cities - one on the small horse island to our south and others on land masses north and east. We have 19 turns on gifting them 2gpt. Up at least Poly, Currency, Republic, and Construction. And they are a Republic. Geesh. One scary civ to our north.
Mongols have only 6 cities and are behind Phil, CoL, Lit, and Map M. And lack horses. Despot.
Carthage has 9 cities, lacks horses, are equal tech wise. Oh, and are disdainful of our culture! Despot. We're giving spices for 14 turns.
Korea has 14 cities, has incense and silk, lacks horses and spices.They are our tech equals as well. And a despot.
Us 16 cities, currency due in 48 turns, lone sci in Hangchow. We're straddling the line on happiness with 30% lux, pulling in 46gpt with 821 in the bank. Many libraries and temples on order. We're considered weak to the Aztec and Mongol(?) armies, average to Carthage and Strong to Korea. Its pretty easy to tell where each civs priorities lie.
We have 27 horse, 8 spear and 8 warriors. And only 9 workers. GL won't due us a lot of good unless one of the other AI starts learning. Aztecs are over on Korea's continent it seems, so maybe...
Goals - Keep Aztecs off our back. Keep exploring. Build markets, temples or libraries. And some spears for D.

MM Beijing to pull in 1 extra gold, free mine for Chengdu. Still gets 10spt. Chegdu MM'd to cut a turn off library. Move horse from Beijing to Chengdu for happiness. MM Rome for more gold. We're clearing a lot of march and jungle (needed), but we could use some mines as well.

I only built a few more horses, but we have 13 spears now. Some cities are getting ducts. The Aztecs are running away in the tech race and our remaining neighbors aren't researching very fast to help us out.

Yes, we need some suicides heading west. What happened to the dinky I had poised to sail East. Did he continues around the Korean continent? Looked like more Korea/Carthage and Aztecs that way. I like the galley idea. We need contacts and get to chiv quick. Is the upgrade kitty growing? We should have well over 1000g by now.
SpikeIt
Deity
Yep, I believe we were definitely over 1000 g at the end of my turns. The dinky and the galley didn't get a chance to find something new. The dinky was way up the north Korean coast with nothing revealed. I was moving him south to head for an east suicide from the Carthage mainland. The galley wandered around the island between us/Aztecs and the Korean mainland, revealing it for the rat race it is. That galley continues east to also suicide off of Korea. A third galley is heading south toward Mongolia, but could be diverted west to suicide. I was thinking of jumping to the southern landmass off of the eastern coast of Mongolia, which is likely another Byz island. But there may be coast beyond that? Anyhow, nothing found in my 10 turns.
Got an evening class relocated to another campus, so I had to hurry this game. Wish I could've pop-rushed.
