Anarres versus ERIKK PBEM

[ERIKK]

Anarres and me have decided too start a PBEM game too fill up the waiting time of our other PBEM's. This way we will have a lot of "power sessions". NO we are not addicted to Civ3!

This is our game:

Good luck have fun.

Here is my starting position:

 

[ERIKK]

I set the game on emperor but is is chieftain again. It is Pangea, 6 AI pawns for us to set up against each other or conquer. Randon land mass, barbs. Rest is standard.

My starting location:

Mm - place your bets ladies and gentlemen.

On my right we have Anarres - winner of the Leader Tournament
On my left we have Erikk - second in the Leader Tournament

Looks like a pretty heavyweight contest between two bruisers who take no prisoners. I dont give much for the AI's chances.

Erikk looks to have the better start - wine close at hand and lots of bonus grassland - and the expansionists are pretty good on a Pan map. The larger it is, the more his initial advantage.

Initial odds

Erikk 4-5
Anarres 5-4

I make it a sight edge in starting position and choice of civ.

Place your bets.

( And new avatars too )

ERIKK will win.

Thanks Col! I have a good starting location! Some cows would have made it an excellent starting location! But I fear Anarres's famous micromanagement! But this game I will micromanage too. PBEM is excellent for that as you have one turn to completely focus on all the time!

We are at turn 10 now. Popped some huts but got jack sh*t!

Keep posting the screens.

I think a lot of people will be interested in this one.
Ok - I'm interested in this one.
Did you choose civs or go random?

Nothing from the huts? Going back towards evens each then. You need to get something as expansionist.

AI 1000-1

I don't really know, at this point, I'm gonna have to say anarres.

16-14 Anarres
14-16 ERIKK

 

[anarres]

I got a random civ. I got lucky

I prefer Greece over America.

I will post some, but I cannot show to much to Anarres (I think).

Huts: empty and a ceremonial burial so far... What I WANT is a city/settler of course. Thats why I am exp. Otherwise Anarres will have and extra trait!

 

[ERIKK]

got a warrior from a hut!!!!!!!!

[anarres]

I just got a tech from a goody hut popped by my culture expansion

 

[ERIKK]

Got a map from a hut! But I think the Ottomans got a city from a hut....

Look at this pic, looks like the border has not expanded:

[Kevinicus]

Keep it up.

 

[ERIKK]

I was wrong about the Ottomans! Had a nice trade! Will meet another (secret) civ soon...
