3CC AW PTW Monarch

[choxorn]

Forgetting something?

Hey, I didn't know the Immortals were emo!

but we have a stack of 6 emos and only 1 healthy archer on Paris's doorstep

flawlessly emo a barb.

Emos go scout since they're invincible anyway.

Susa builds red emo

 

[qoou]

Oh.. sorry:

They're definitely not emos; they have akimbo swords that are only second to Chuck Norris's roundhouse kick (emo is faster to type than immo).

 

[killerkid]

I got it. But before I play, should I start our GA and attack Paris, or wait?

 

[killerkid]

Hello...Anybody still here?

If no one answers my GA question soon, I guess I'll play and attack.

 

[choxorn]

Well, 1500 AD BC May be a little early, but since Qoou built so many Immortals and no archers...

 

[killerkid]

Chox:If it was 1500 AD, I don't think we'd be fighting with immos and archers.

OK-I will attack; It's not like we'll get any more cities, and if we wait on the immos until we get Monarchy, the Ai's will be getting more powerful all the time.

 

[killerkid]

I'm done. We lost 1 archer and an immo, but the French are dead. We have a GLIB prebuild in Persepolis, and are 9 turns into our GA
We have found the Zulu border but haven't established a contact. A stack of 5 immos and an archer are 2 tiles outside the border. The next person will be able to attack.

[qoou]

Who's next?

I think we should slow down Lit and maybe rush the rest of the temple?
It looks like we might have a huge inland lake to the north. I'd say that there's ~2.5 civs west, ~2 civs east, and another ~2 civs north of the lake.

 

[choxorn]

It's our GA, we want to get as much out of research as possible.

I'm up, but can't get to it right now, so I ask for a skip and declare Tassle up.

Roster:
killerkid: Just Played
choxorn: Skipped
Tasslehoff: UP
qoou: On Deck

 

[Tasslehoff]

Got it.

I will:
-Attack the Zulu
-(Maybe) Rush the temple
-Switch to the GLib
-Pump units.

 

[Tasslehoff]

Done.

Relatively uneventful. Razed 2 cities, researched lit, and started on Mysticism. I had expected to receive contact with the Babylonians soon, so I didn't research for a short time and accumulated about 80 extra gold.

Spoiler Turnset :

Turn0- Hit enter
IBT- Pasargardae Imo->Imo
Turn 1-1225BC-Lux->10%. Contact Zulu. They have 5 cities. DoW.
Turn 2-1200BC-Goody hut gives us a warrior. Yippee? Lower lux back down and make a taxman in persepolis.

[choxorn]

You played so fast...

Imo redlines Impi and dies,

Great, the Zulu have a GA!

 

[Tasslehoff]

Not really. It took me an hour, and a 3cc goes pretty fast.

As for the GA, it shouldn't matter too much. They've only got three cities left, at least one of which is within 5 turns of our stack.

 

[killerkid]

Nice set Tas.
Qoou, since you're up next, you should check foreign advisor every turn in case contact with the us is traded to the Babs.

Our immos don't have to stop and heal all the time, as a 2 or 3 HP immo can still defeat Impi's.

 

[qoou]

Gotsies

Do we really need libs right now? Once we get TGL, research will be relatively useless till Chiv... I'd make sure we whack as many civs as possible before pikes.

 

[choxorn]

You know, the Great Library doesn't work if we only know one civ.

 

[qoou]

You know, the Great Library doesn't work if we only know one civ.

We'll soon be able to easily wipe out 2 civs at once...

 

[killerkid]

I'd sent one of the immos on the northern hills out to look for another AI-We can siege the Zulu's last city so we'd get the techs before they'd die.

 

[qoou]

I'm really sorry, but I'll skip if anyone can play until tomorrow afternoon. I had a LAN party and completely forgot about this.

 

[killerkid]

I'm busy...Choxorn?
