Not much in the way of notes... Here's what I remember...

Fought w/ the wife, made up, made a rainbow trout dinner (the last of my SD catch), played scrabble w/ my parents, everyone went to bed except me.

Golden Age is over.
Three GL's, two armies and one Pentagon. My opinion of the HE is completely changed.
Most armies still could take the forth unit.
Stacks of trebs w/ an army to back 'em up can kill muskets nicely.
Sacked the Chinese capitol.
We have six luxes lacking gems and spices.
Prolly get an army kilt next turn. It's redlined outside a Portuguese city that seems to have an unexhaustable number of spears.
Finished gunpowder so we could find and sack the salt.
Got back into Greece and pillaged spices, iron and horses.
My kill ratio was 1,290 to 1. I lost a galley.
Didn't cash rush as much as I could. There's 1200+ gold in the coffers.

Researching towards Metal so we could upgrade to cannons but as my turns closed I figure it won't be needed.

The price for a quick turn-around is no pics. Good night.

 

[jb1964]

Good morning.... Here are some pics...

I guess my only other note is that I pretty much gave up on any worker actions other than laying roads. We laid a few significant ones through the Greek jungles w/ a huge stack of manpower.

 

[Ansar]

Looks like the army at Oporto is once again, redlined...

nice job jb. next player gets to beat up Greece and probably eliminate them, right?

Ya, I got that sucker in the red. The first IBT it was attacked and afterwords ran it to the mountain. Then there were a series of LB's that tried thier luck. I guess I felt obligated to return it as I found it.

Yes, there should be enough firepower to kill Greece. However, if we follow Bede's advice and not take on full strength Muskets then the killer force is the big stack of trebs. Thier demise could be sped up but splitting the stack of 17 and tucking them under separate armies. And you have four to chose from.

I just noticed that Groningen is building the Hanging Gardens. It's only 147 turns from completion!

I only made a token effort to MM the core so there's certainly an opportunity there but at this point it's completely optional.

 

[Ansar]

Why IS Gronigen building the Hanging Gardens? change it to a library for quicker culture so it can grab the whale.

BTW, I believe Beorn is up, but he is away until the 10th, so its all yours soul_warrior, have fun!

It's building the HG's because I'm fond of them. They remind me of a past life. Or maybe because I got in the habit of hitting <CR> as new build suggestions came up.

SW is likewise occupied w/ RL. Go figure.

Tribute? Or I guess I'm ping-ponging it back to you.

 

[soul_warrior]

i will try to get this done tomorrow (as some free time arrives)
will post an "im playing now" when that happens

 

[Tribute]

We're not that slow moving, are we?

 

[soul_warrior]

i WILL play a set tomorrow (thursday) unless someone takes it before me.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Sounds good, I'll take it from there SW.

 

[soul_warrior]

playing now

 

[soul_warrior]

short version?

------------


no point in a build log - its all MDIs, some swiss mercs.
captured places will build workers.
workers road!

armies keep on damaging the property.

destroy tatung with army.
dodge some muskets, no need to fight them quite yet. our mdi'swill do more good killing towns.
destroy theropalae, redline an army of swords.
shanghai goes up in flames....

i use Oporto's army to tear up turf while waiting for the trebs.

at turn 4i use upabout 500g in rushing thugs. no use in all that cold ccash lying about, is there?

athens burns.

lagos is bombed to size 7. about 4hits out of 15 army razes it

paoting burns.

units lost so far: 4-5 swords. 1 mdi. killed: 20?

tietsin= dust

shuanton almost loses us a 3 sword army toa single spear. ALMOST! smoke!
and now we ask you to rasie your in honour of the famous sword army....

plop a slave on a pile of dust. he finds a shiny rock. we reward him with an eternity of digging the mines there

macao burns as revengefor the lost army.

abandon Beijing.
i know...
it had sentimantal value.
but i missclicked and left it for the chinamen to retakewithout a fight.

oporto was a bigger pain than i thought.
use 6 trebs to redline both spears, 2 MDIs to kill and sack the township

Sparta, like sparta, redlines an army.but weknocked a hoppy and a muskrat off the active rostyer.

emerita.... as usual.
frees moves for our SoD of trebs to help it on the next target.

Hangchow, capital of the moment to the blue team, is easily pinged and smoked.

now here is a moment to cherish!!!!

chengdu is razed.

turn 8 - a lb reds a FULL STRENGTH army. it runs but leaves two slaves behind.

840 - turn 9 -
chemistry is in. metal,withoutlosing cash in 15.

I DONT WANT TO SEE A CANON. ANYWHERE! EVER!

henry has 3 armies and a zillion trebs to deal with.
alex... well... you get the drift
mao... is purring. hoping we dont notice he is not a cat.

it was loads of fun.
i expect to see a 900ad win?
that 5 whole turns!

 

[soul_warrior]

i decided against keeping the captured places as we are already to big to control, and the peace keeper troops are needed doing harm not pacifing the commoners.
gets us a quicker win too.

 

[Ansar]

The frog is ready to deliver the final blow!

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

This looks awesome. I'll give it a shot tonight.

X-post I'll leave you the honors if you want them, Ansar.

 

[Ansar]

Oh, sorry, forgot about you, B. Take it, my computer keeps having errors with the disk drive, anyways. Lead us slow-moving idiots to victory!

 

[Tribute]

We cannot win by 900 AD can we? That requires a total lack of defenders and an increase in movement points for us. But we're slow....

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

With knights, yes. That means no. Will do what I can so Ansar can win it in his set.

Its ok, you finish it. I dont mind.
