A Team PBEM?

[Chamnix]

In case anyone wants to follow the game from a point of view other then Feaurius':

Spoiler for the first 10 turns (lurkers only) :

3950 BC – First 2 surprises of the games: we start with 2 workers and 2 settlers, and the year is not 4000 BC. I have incense nearby, and I can see a 4-turn settler factory from the start location once the game forest is chopped and irrigated, but I am disappointed not to be on a coast (I can’t build curraghs yet) and the lack of a river is troubling. With only a 1-tile lake nearby, my capital will be the only place helped by my agricultural trait until Republic, and I will be hurting for commerce. I must find a river!

Salamanca settled on the spot and starts a warrior. One worker goes north to the BG, the other SW to the game forest. There doesn’t seem to be any reason to favor a particular direction with the other settler, so he climbs the mountain to see what is around. Research set to the Wheel at 100%.

3900 BC – The settler pops the goody hut, and we learn Ceremonial Burial. We see ivory but no river.

3800 BC – The town of Geriatica founded by the ivory and starts warrior. The Persians and the Egyptians have also settled a second town but not the Americans. Thanks to a mistimed forest chop, I build a 20-shield warrior in Salamanca.

3750 BC – My warrior from Salamanca completes, and I start a granary. The Americans still have not settled a second town.

3650 BC – Salamanca is the first town to reach size 2. Although the game says this is regent level, I only get 1 content citizen, so my luxuries have to increase. Science is going to be very slow for me with the lack of commerce in my start.

3550 BC – Geriatica completes a warrior and starts a worker. The Americans finally planted their second town.

3500 BC – Still nobody else has 2 citizens in their capital. They either do not have high-food tiles or have elected not to work them. Possibly everyone started with a game forest, and others have elected to keep it as is for the extra shields instead of chopping and irrigating. I am feeling great about my expansion chances with a 4-turn settler factory especially if everyone else’s capital is only growing once every 10 turns. I have found 2 cows, but I am really disappointed by the lack of rivers in my area – my agricultural trait will not give any advantage except in the capital until Republic. I am also concerned about falling behind in science – the lack of nearby commerce is troubling, but I hope to be able to keep up by planting lots of cities and make up for the lack of quality with quantity. I will just have to be sure other towns build enough military, but with my science so weak, it will be a while before they can build good military.

And even some pictures for the lurkers only.

 

[classical_hero]

When you send me the save, could please send me your turn not the one that you send on, because it means that I get the next players turn.

 

[azzaman333]

@classical_hero Do you have mine or not? I'm not sure if i sent it.

 

[classical_hero]

Technically you did not send me your save, but someone else did.

gps to meleager. i cant be bothered posting another spoiler yet.

 

[classical_hero]

If your like me, you do not need to place spoilers here.

 

[peter grimes]

I may be the only person who enjoys them. Speak up, others, if you like them. I certainly wouldn't ask the players to go to all the trouble just for me.

 

[Chamnix]

Well, my pictures have been looked at more than once, so it is probably not just you. Also, I hope everyone will continue doing spoilers periodically because I am really looking forward to reading them once the game is over. I don't think every turn is necessary, but I really do want to be able to see what people were thinking as the game was in progress after it's over.
