I'm sorry I couldn't play or tell you what's going on, because I've been absolutely SWAMPED for the past two days. I didn't even have time to use a computer. I'm going away for three weeks tomorrow (Sunday), but I'll still have Internet access, so I'll insert commentary here and there. Good luck! I hope you finish the game by the time I return, because I want to start a new SG. A (by definition) building game

I'm back and am a little disappointed in review what's happened in my absence.
One play has played in over a week. Takeo has dropped, Tsuke is out for 3 weeks, Belial got it and then no showed. Amirsan, its your call but this game is borderline dead.
As I see it
amirsan- Just played and ON DECK!
Takeo- out
Belial- Got It but Didn't post.
ControlFreak- back and waiting to see whats up with Belial
Tsukemono5- (out for 3 weeks )
I don't think I can handle playing a two player roster. I will look at your save since Belial never posted his. I will take two or three days if thats OK with you. If Belial posts today, I go from his save.
Great job on getting 23 techs from the GL. That was awesome. I think we're going to either wait for tanks or upgrade to cavalry and pick on the weaklings. Mongolia must go. Japan too. Zulu's seem next weakest right? Korea and Babylon are the game's heavyweights. I wonder how much of their land we need to get domination?

Its pretty much dead untill Belail is back. By the time Tsuk gets back, we should have finished the game. I realy hate starting a game and not finishing it right after we just did something that we were hopeing for, for the whole game.

Um, I think I realized what happened to Belial. The Babylonians sneak attacked and killed him.
ControlFreak

I agree. It seems such an accomplishment to grab the GL that it would be a shame not to find out if it helped us like we hoped.
I vote that we take a small pause until Belial reports. Have you PM'd him?
If he's not coming back then I think you and I can continue at a very slow pace until Tsuke comes back. Something like 48Hr Got it, 72Hr Post it?
amirsan
King of all Kings
Ok, will PM him. I dont know about the 42/72 but maybe everyone could just play on thier own pace and no limits but must post that they have it. Maybe the 48/72 could work 
. I'm going to PM him now.Belial

Yeah, I'm still around - my turns kinda reaaaaaally sucked.
I'm not at home yet, so I don't have a save, but I can give a brief summary of what basically happend.
The Babs did sneak attack and we had little to no defense to stop anything. I tried to counter with an offense, but you'd have no idea how big their offense was.
By the time I had managed to get some elephants down there, two or our core cities were hit.
The report is very brief and vauge, as I don't have the details, but I can probably upload the safe if you guys want.

Go ahead and post it and I'll see if it gets better on my turn or worse. Let's get it back to Amirsan (or at least try) and he can decide whether or not to pronounce death.

Having the techs is one thing. Having the production to take advantage of them is another. We have (had) 7 cities with >10spt and none >20spt IIRC. Factories will help but losing two core cities means they will only help like 5 cities. We don't have rails yet, don't have much defense either. I think we can survive but it's going to be tough to win.

Maybe it cannot be won. Maybe this game is definitely lost.
But even then I wouldn't give up, till I am wiped off the map. The AI has to bludgeon me down to my last conscript warrior and then kill him till it declares victory on me. But that's just me.
Get a save and a map up so all of use can see if it is that hopeless.
Also remember if you are really weak then the AI does not consider you a threat and many times fight amongst themselves. That has given me at times, time to recuperate and catch up. At this time if may seem really far fetched but believe me there is a chance, however slim, that you may pull of a space victory.
EDIT: fixed grammar.

I agree that we should go down kicking and screaming. I also agree that we get no attention when we're small. It was no coinciendence that we were attacked right after the GL got us caught up in tech but before we could build rifles.
We also didn't help ourselves. Starting way back on my turn we had one warrior defending each of the Eastern border cities. A border that BTW was with the biggest monster in the game. We asked for everything we got.
I was hoping we could hold the narrow neck but is sounds like Belial lost Bombay or some other core cities. (Did we lose the FP?)
Please post so I can grab it tonight.

Uploading now.
The save
If we would have had more time with the techs, it would have been easily won. I think, I may have made a mistake of getting everyone to MA against the Babs too, instead we could have lost just four to five cities and called it good and rebuild but now we have to wait for the MA to end.
However, the good news is that Korea is a force to be reckoned with, small in land, huge with power. I truly doubt the Zulus will do much on their front, but hey, if it redirects the Bab force and we can use our offense to regrab our cities and get peace once were done, then we can still do it.
I'm just not sure wheather or not we'll be able to conquor our own cities back, if you use the boat to scout, which is what I was doing, you just see lines and lines and lines of troops pouring in. I kind of see how easy it was for them to remove Japan from the face of the planet.
On a side noe, we didn't lose huge core cities, one of our main and one of our FP, bot holding resources. I believe they razed one, Bombay if I recall, but we still have access to iron and saltpepper, I do strongly suggest we do as much infrastructure as we can during this war and to at least grab our core city and sticking everything we've got in there. Once the MA's end, get peace for whatever it costs and then slowly rebuild. Even if we lose, I'd be happy as long as we remove 50% of the Babs from the game, so maybe we can dedicate a goal towards that. Or, we can always pull out with 'maybe' a diplmoatic victory, we'll just have to keep the Ottomans and Babs at war or baby them both.
The most depressing about it all, is I was making around 300gpt before the war, turns after, it was down to 84 with WW, I couldn't even keep half the cities from rioting so I let the govenor take care of it, feel free to remove them where needed.

This may be a dumb question but, do we have a Forbidden Palace?? If we dont then we should continue and build one to recover. I think we would be able to pull of a Space Victory or Diplomatic Victory. Its up to the whole team, should we make a vote??

GOT IT
I did a quick look-see and yes, we still have an FP. Calcutta is now guarded by some rifles and a bunch of war elephants. There are a lot of wounded babylon cavs nearby but no SOD.
They razed four cities: Fukiyama and the other one on the pennisula, Bombay (ouch) and our chinese aquisition. They captured the wine city and the one on the neck.
Korea already has a settler escorted by a rifle heading towards the bombay area so unless Babylon kills them We have to block this at all costs. I don't mind if Babylon settles near our core because we can eventually take them, but I don't want to go to war with Korea ever.
I'll see what I can do tonight and tomorrow. Should post by Thursday if all is well.

Correction, we do not have the FP the city was taken back with the elephants.
Edit: I killed two SOD calvary piles with the help of the Koreans, but there is still lines of troops pouring in, what I saw with the scout boat was just riflemen.
But I know there is another stack somewhere because that's what razed one of the cities on our peninsula (it was the last city they took).
