5CC Regent Training Game

[choxorn]

Jokeslayer- you were online earlier today, why didn't you answer me?

And it has been 72 hours and 1 minute since you posted your "got it".

 

[Jokeslayer]

Sorry guys, I'm going to have back out of this. I don't have as much time as I thought I would.

 

[choxorn]

Tad, I guess that makes you up.

 

[Tasslehoff]

Jokeslayer; do you have enough time to continue to evaluate turnsets, just not play? That way, we don't need to find another trainer.

Tad: It's your turn then.

Edit: Crosspost with Choxorn.

 

[Jokeslayer]

I should have enough time to look through the moves every couple of days, yes. Might not be a bad idea for you guys to see if you can find someone else, though, as I'm not going to be getting less busy any time soon.

Oh, and something I forgot to say on that last turnset: where is that swordsman north of Istanbul wandering off to? He should be heading towards Babylon, not chasing barbarians.

 

[choxorn]

You kinda already said that:

I don't agree with that swordsman heading north after the barbarians. If we're fighting the babs this early (also not something I like, but I'll work with it) I think we need to hit them with as much as we can. Much better to take them down in one go than to have to make peace with them.

 

[Jokeslayer]

Oh. Oops

 

[Tad Empire_0_o]

sry guys I wont be able to play anymore in this SG because of time issues... I only have time for 1 & I barely have time for that so sry guys

 

[Hawk Chieftain]

Since we had 2 people bail on us, do you want to continue?
If you do, who can we have train us?

 

[choxorn]

I'm not sure who can train us, but I think we can still play this. A while ago, I played a 3-Player 5CC SG, and we were able to finish it, and before that, an SG that eventually developed into 3 players, with an occasional 4th. I have links to both in my Sig.

In short, we can finish this with 3 players, but it won't be as easy as with 4 or 5.

Oh, and BTW, Got it. Will play tonight.

 

[Tasslehoff]

Let's continue, but advertise for more helpers.

 

[TheOverseer714]

I cannot guarantee anything, but I could take some turn-sets to help you guys out. I have never tried a 5CC game, but I am an experienced player and veteran of 3 finished SG's, 2 of which were Emperor level. I don't think I'm experienced enough to be a trainer, but I do have some insight into this game.

 

[JJJSpider]

lurker's comment: I can help you guys out with your detailed turn logs. I can also look at save with civ assist. But I wont be able to play.
I am quite capable of giving you guys the advice you will need to win this.

 

[choxorn]

Er- you've lost another player. Me.

For some reason, my computer no longer recognizes the existance of the CD Drive, meaning I can't do anything that requires a CD, including playing Civ(Although, strangely, I can play C3C- it hasn't required the disk for quite a while now, for whatever reason). So, put me on indefinite skip, as I can't play until this problem stops.

 

[Tasslehoff]

Ack! No! Ah well... Would TheOverseer like to take a turnset then?

 

[TheOverseer714]

I can do it tomorrow night, as tonight I'm doing Rat 25. It is a PTW file, right? I will refresh myself on the rules and such tonight.

 

[Tasslehoff]

PTW, regent 5cc CONQUEST (happy, choxorn?). We're at war with the babylonians. 10-turn-set.

 

[choxorn]

No, not 5CC. 5CCC.

 

[TheOverseer714]

I have finished my turn-set. Things went very well with several happy things occurring. Here is my turn-log:

Press enter:
IBT: Bab Bowman steps up near Ur
2070 BC: move wounded archers back to heal
IBT: Istanbul sword=>worker
2030 BC: move worker to hook up wines, cover him with spear
IBT: Istanbul worker =>sword
1990 BC: move swords toward front.
IBT: no movement
1950 BC: kill intruding barb with Long, hook up wines, hire clowns to prevent riot. We need to have 5 cities for unit support. Science at 20%, Lux at 10%.
IBT: Mathematics arrive next is Writing. Istanbul sword =>sword, Edrine sword=>settler.
1910 BC: Disband Long. Lower lux to zero, science to 60%, Writing in 9 at +1 gpt. Trade Math to Arabs for HBR and Mysticism. Move 2 swords and 3 archers toward Ur.
IBT: Bab rBowman dies attacking our vSword, no damage.
1870 BC: pop Goody Hut near Arabs, get Polytheism Move troops in position to take out Ur.
IBT: Istanbul sword=>horseman
1830 BC: Battle for Ur: vArcher kills rSpear clean, eArcher dies red-lining rSpear, vSword finishes rSpear-2hp. Ur is auto-razed.
IBT: Babs rWarrior steps up to Edrine
1790 BC: take out Babs rWarrior with vSword clean.
IBT: Istanbul horseman=>horseman, Edrine settler=>sword
1750 BC: mostly moving units.

Cities:
Istanbul: size 7, growth in 6, Horseman in 2 turns.
Edrine: size 2, growth in 2, Sword in 5 turns.
Bursa: size 3, growth in 1, Barracks in 2 turns.

Non-Combat:
Settler 1
Workers 5 native
Miltary:
Warriors 1
Archers 2
Spears 1
Swords 5
Horsemen 1

I did a dot map for the Settler, I like Yellow for the best temporary city, and Red for a more permanent city. Blue would make a decent fort city. I left the settler un-moved for when we decide where he goes. I made arrows to show movement for our military to gather on Babylon for the next attack, but gather them before moving into place to reduce attrition from counter-attacks. I saw evidence that the Babs have a town SSW of Babylon. Good luck to our next player.

Abu wouldn't pay you a piece of gold?

City: There was a canal location up north that was suggested...
