4x2 Col v Erikk v Anarres v Mel

[anarres]

COL! Delete those images!

I opened the first and can see the minimap with your position on the WM.

I can show you later how to edit them smaller (when I get home)

 

[ERIKK]

Col and I are within 6 or 7 squares from each other

I dont know if this will be much fun to play... He is next to my cow-city.... Before he has a merc I can have a couple of warriors on his productive soils... Also I still think there are continents!

Any comments: come to MSN!

edit: mel and anarres also saw your minimap! I did not saw your maps but have a scout overlooking your city in turn 2

 

[ERIKK]

WE HAVE RESTARTED THE GAME

 

[col]

This is the Carthaginians

 

[ERIKK]

I have two new locations. They are all right I guess, but not as good as the others... And the others have better locations now

This is the American location:

This is the Chinese location:

 

[col]

And this is the Germans

 

[col]

Some say you shouldnt settle first turn next to a goody hut - you cant get a settler going first. Opened it with worker - cant get barbs if no units - but no settler guys......rest easy

 

[anarres]

col, you can't get a settler when you have one already.

hehe. I got a tech from my hut

Again, Romabia makes a play for world domination *yawn*

Rome:

Arabia:

Pfff..., yeah sure! Are you serious?

 

[col]

Of course - I'm an honourable player.

 

[anarres]

Diplomacy more your style then col

 

[col]

Oh all right - I admit it- I was so occupied setting up the game and taking snapshots of my starting positions that I screwed up. I'd intended to wait a turn before building but forgot while I was doing the snapshot. Too excited by the sight of the cow I guess.

 

[Melifluous]

OK my screenies...

Much better this turn

Persia:

Zulu:

Yay!
Lets go...

No worries col, when I set up Agent Orange 4 I forgot to move my units and set my research first turn

 

[col]

I still remember the time in a tournament game when I built another palace with a leader instead of the FP that I meant to build.....

 

[Melifluous]

OK, quick question for us all....

Are we all available tonight?
Can we get some movement on this game?

Melifluous.

PS. I passed the 100 post mark! wow...

 

[ERIKK]

I am!

But only this evening: 18:30 to +/- 02:30 CET This saturday and sunday I have am totally consumed by social life!

@Mel : you definitely benefitted most from the restart. From no cows no rivers to rivers, cow, lotsa shielded grass and wheat. better thank col for posting that 1st image

@erikk Now i see where you rushed after we discussed the leader generating schem I'm amazed no one thought it up before, i discussed it briefly with Sultan Bargash in his 2 headed giant game a few weeks ago. I still want to use it in a 2human vs 4 ai deity game and punish the ai for all the deity losses I have amassed.

The reason for the restart was that my city was four squares from Erikks 3 cow city. He could have taken it within a few turns and there was nothing I could do about it. Even I could have wiped Erikk had our starts been reversed.

Taking a civ out at the very start was thought to be game unbalancing - and would have spoilt the game for everybody.

Hence the restart.
