Anybody have the fortune of meeting themselves yet?

 

[sinimusta]

gps to count1. Haven't met my own civs yet, that would be quite useful if it happened.

 

[kenwyn]

Interesting Q.
Nope. Tho i do in what directions they lie(lay?).

No I haven't yet but I have met a civ that knows a civ that met a civ that thought it might have met a civ of mine.

Now two of my tribes have had narrow escapes.

Just now we were preserved by a marginal RNG.

Previously by conservative judgement on the part of someone else.

But my third tribe has skirmishers.

 

[kenwyn]

"...preserved by a marginal RNG." = huh?

 

[bathsheba666]

RNG - random number generator

Although some odds were slightly in my favour, there were enough of them that I might have expected some failures.

In particular, a promoted barb archer attacking a single unpromoted fortified warrior across a river was cause for discomfort in anticipation....but the city held.

With archers about to appear across those cities, this should be a one-off thrill.

A small pity I can't ship skirmishers from my one tribe to the others, but I have no idea of relative locations. Despite this I kind of like the no teams approach - it's like three games in one.

--------------------------
Seems U R taking my quota of luck.
2 civs have had nice improvements wiped out by events.
-------------------------------
Agree. Very interesting format & on a (nearly) random world.

 

[bathsheba666]

Hmmmm. Had entirely forgotten this was set to raging barbs. Ouch!

I must request your unescorted Settler should settle to his E, not in my direction.

Will try but that settler was escaping raging barb archers.

 

[bathsheba666]

Hmmmm.

Seemingly, all over the planet, barbarian villages spawn.

Luckily, so far this has meant only promotions.

Perhaps wise , taking the time & resources to build an escort mite be appropriate.

To fill in this C'mas lull, been cranking a few PBEM game speed #'s.
Which is the fastest group of players, so far?

Calculated turns per day / days per turn thru C'mas for the 6 games I'm in.
Starting with oldest…
"18-but-not-Earth"= .29 / 3.5
"Tri Civ" = .18 / 5.4
"Octofish" = .35 / 2.8
"Redofish" = .2 / 5
"Instant Karma" = .61 / 1.6
"3rd Tribe" .96 / 1

Congratulations "3rd Tribers", fast starters are thee!
Stands to reason that newest games with simpler turns would fastest at this point.

However, congratulations "18-but-not-Earth", U R a surprising seriously quik group! Especially considering the # of players involved.

"Redofish"… sadly slow. Mostly due to player replacements + admin'r (me) taking 2 week family trip. Let's pick it gents(!?).

RNG hasn't been favourable. A barb archer won two low odd attacks in row, first at 12%, the second at 33%.
