Updated today on website:

Turns 60 to 83 - the 600 year wars

Turns 84 to 94 - a last hope

 

[anarres]

I have a cunning plan. Here is the diplomacy:

anarres says:
erikk, i have a suggestion
anarres says:
if you tell me the turn before you declare peace with the japs, i will pay you 100gold to let me go to war against you with the japs. i promise no to attack or anything like that, and you can make peace with them, and then i can make peace with you. no-one gets a rep hit, we all get rich
anarres says:
?
ERIKK says:
errr...
ERIKK says:
i dont understand yet
anarres says:
i can make money by going to war against you (from the japs)
ERIKK says:
you let them buy you in you mean
anarres says:
yes
ERIKK says:
ok
ERIKK says:
but i think it will take alot of time
anarres says:
but you can't do the same, as i am not at war
anarres says:
how long?
ERIKK says:
very long i think, he has some large cities
ERIKK says:
when they are gone, i can roll 'm up
ERIKK says:
but i will sue for peace at a moment to get the techs
anarres says:
maybe i can do it now
anarres says:
?
ERIKK says:
sure try it
ERIKK says:
i dont care
anarres says:
but i am not going to attack you remember?
ERIKK says:
tell me how much you got out of it!
ERIKK says:
yup
anarres says:
i will pay 100gold to you this turn if i do it then?
ERIKK says:
yeah
when will you start rolling again?
anarres says:
hmm
anarres says:
planning
ERIKK says:
you can get a sword army
anarres says:
better
ERIKK says:
knight army?
anarres says:
i will let you know later
anarres says:
i will post this
anarres says:
no. i will wait. let me know 2 turns before if you can, or 1 at the least
ERIKK says:
ok

 

[anarres]

We played some more turns today.

ERIKK is at war with the Japanese, and making inroads. I have finally got up to 8 cities. It is, well, painful at the moment. I am much too far behind in population and infrastructure. But no matter, I still have a whole host of stupid things left to try.

Here is a link to todays webpage:

Turns 95 to 106

Some very creative moves there Anarres.

 

[ProPain]

Great logs guys, very interesting to read. Great job!

 

[ERIKK]

I have updated my logs up to turn 106 with some screenshots and plans for the next turns.

8 cities anarres??? that's a spoiler, coz I thought it were only 5. I Can't see all your territory. But I will have an entire world map soon

I hope to see some Babylonian blood flow soon! When will you strike?

Oh well ERIKK, just call it 'propaganda' for now.

I might be wrong anyway, 8 seemed right when I wrote the post.

 

[anarres]

There has been a stall in the game.

A save ERIKK sent me dies every time I try to end the turn. It say's Persia (ERIKK) has declared war on me, and then it crashes.

The weid thing is that ERIKK and I were not at war during the turn....

 

[ERIKK]

very strange!

Replayed and sent you the previous two turns. If 106 is still corrupt play 105 again!

 

[ProPain]

If it keeps crashing why not try to play a few turns online (including the 106 one of course) and continue PBEM if/when you pass the critical point.

Don't know if this advice is any good, but it may be worth a try.

 

[ERIKK]

I changed my battle strategy a bit and made a map on the website!

BTW: anarres, did you play those turns? What happened?

Sorry sonny, I go to work in the daytime

I'm not sure I will ever get back to playing a turn in the morning before work, it just feels weird...

You call 10:30 GMT daytime? It is almost nighttime, dude!

 

[anarres]

We finally got the game going again. Here is the end of a 1.5 hour session trying lots of different things...

anarres: try this
anarres: it saved fine
anarres: i declared war, then made peace straight away
anarres: just accept the offer
ERIKK: ok
anarres: so we are off again...
anarres: shall we have a 'true-peace' for soem turns maybe? like war by agreement, for maoney from the AI, and no getting the AI to attack the other one?
anarres: maybe until 150?
ERIKK: sure

We also made peace (of a kind) until turn 150

 

[anarres]

We spent most of the night trying to find a way to fix the game, but we managed to get a few turns in.

Turns 107 to 112

Look what I just built [dance]

 

[ERIKK]

Yesterday evening the Japanese defences collapsed under the weight of the Persian military. Lots of Japanese cities got razed due to the fact that earlier in the game we had a culture flip when a former Jap city right next to my capital, linked to three lux, turned size 3 (with two military units in it). We take no more risks with larger-than-1 cities...

But one Japanese city did not got razed. It had an undefeatable spearman in it. Fortunally all horses withdrew but it was still a disgusting example of bad dices!!!! I hope to be able to take the city in two or three turns, as there are two spears in the city and reinforcements need two or three turns to get there. Also, the AI can probably build one spear per turn in that city...

After Satasuma gets razed we will sign peace with the Japanese. We have a tech deal with the Chinese for making peace ASAP. We sign peace and get a tech from the Chinese. The Chinese have made a lucrative (g/p/t for tech???) alliance with the Japanese against me one turn ago. When we sign peace with the Japanese, China can sign peace too without any consequences.

 

[anarres]

Hmm. Maybe after it is all over I will tell you what I got ERIKK

For everyone else, visit my website.

 

[ERIKK]

Updated my homepage with the latest war pictures and a new planning map!

 

[ERIKK]

After the dramatic fall of Satsuma the Persians have offered the Japanese a nice peace treaty. After heavy negotiations the treaty was signed. We are now only at war with the Chinese who will offer us peace and Map Making next turn
