5CC Regent Training Game
- Thread starter Hawk Chieftain
- Start date
Alright, I'll go next. I should be able to play tomorrow night, and maybe some tonight.
Just a question before I start, should I found on the yellow dot, blue dot, or not at all during my turnset?
Edit: I got it, but I'll just survey the situation, and not make any settler decisions

I'd say 1 tile East of blue dot for a keeper city, unless we decide to save it for a captured city, as can only have 5 cities at the end of a turn. I say build it for the unit support.

Build either blue dot or yellow dot for unit support. We can always abandon one later if needed.

Sorry, I couldn't play last week, I was out of town.
I still think that we should take our last settler North of Istanbul, put him right next to the lake. I think that b/c of the hills, we should be able to generate a lot of shields from that spot.
Then, we'll explore North for our next target.

Alright, I am about to play. I will start and hopefully finish a settler for blue dot.
Hawk, I agree up north is good, except, the hills can generate a max of 2 shields in despot, so we can always abandon blue dot found that when we have switched to monarchy/republic.
Overseer-I don't think one east of blue dot makes much difference, an added BG, but one square further away from Istanbul.
I hope I made the right decision.

For that matter, should we choose monarchy or republic? Normally, I'd like rep, and right now our techs are set for the republic slingshot, but in a 5CCC, we might need all the unit support we can get. Suggestions?

Monarchy should be fine. Ordinarily, Republic is better, but 5CC puts such a limit on growth that it probably won't work.
Well here it is. A summary of an unlucky turnset.
Paint really messed up the screenie, but the red circles are my swords, and the blue one is his bowman.
Here's the screenie
Well that was a very poor turnset. Lost 4 swords and a horse, killed 2 bowmen, expected to take Ashur on turn 1, never took it at all.
Hawk, I hope you have better luck than me!

Ouch, serious bad luck there. Any idea what the Arab free tech was (from philosophy)?

This is m "got it" post. Bad luck killerkid. I think you got sidetracked killing barbs and you didn't concentrate your forces. The other problem is the accelerated production, which allows the Babs to crank out Bowmen every turn. Thats the main reason most SG's use normal production rate, why give any more advantages to the AI? I will kill the Babs soon, trust me!

I dont think the barbs were the problem- I had one horse that was up there from the start. Just I got overconfident that we would take the city. I think it has to do with the AP, I usually play without it and am not used to the AI building so much stuff.

I have finished my turn-set, there is good news, and there is bad news that might be good news. The Babylonians are gone, and the Arabs declared on us after I refused a demand. We researched 2 techs during my turn and traded for another. On a possibly controversial note, I began 2 wonders that we most likely will get, the Colossus and the Hanging Gardens. Here is my turn-log:
I think we can do some damage to the Arabs with a concentrated group of swords, and we are getting war happiness. We can now build galleys, and we need contacts, so we should build a couple in Bursa. Here are two screenshots and the save:
