B06 - Bella gets jealous, Team B

[Whomp]

My fault on the army. Sorry everyone. Can we win a 20K if London is so close?

This is going to be a tight one folks. I would suggest plenty of artillery in the captial. If we can skirmish with cavs and cannons by damaging infantry and guerillas they stop to heal. All we need to do is hold on it sounds.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

If london is 68 turns from cultural, that makes our victory impossible: it'll be way way way above 50% of 20K, so we would've needed to raze it. It would have been a bizzich to do with an army; without, I'm ready to call it a loss. Great game though, Bella is proud.

[EDIT]:

That being said, how many of you aren't hooked up on CIV too much to perpetuate this game series? I was thinking along the lines of XCC AAC for the next one. Perhaps (a) 8CC, 2 armies would be good. Or (b) we could re-match AWE with a more friendly civ, like a "Dora's got something to prove" challenge.

So everyone (lurkers included), A, B, whichever or no thanks?

[EDIT2]: math, plz answer the question

20K victory is not dependant on 2x rival culture. We can win via 20K if we get there first, even if London is over 19K. That said, I'm not really interested in playing it out.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

I just took the save and dude, we're a handful of turns from 10K, not 20K. London is gathering culture faster than we are, too, so this is definitely a loss. GG everyone. I'm eager for the new game comments though, even the "no thanks" ones

lurker's comment: I'd be interested to join an SG.

EDIT:I guess I have some idiocy sometimes.

I'm going to hold off for now. I have a vacation coming up.

lurker's comment: So...is this thread done for?

 

[Tubby Rower]

I'm trying to wean myself from civ. My wife said that I have until the baby comes to play and then she'll go ballistic if she catches me playing. She just needs about 6 weeks to get over it. Then she said I can resume my playtime. I'll be able to contribute while at work at least until the crazy IT department finds out I spend most of my bandwidth on CFC

 

[soul_warrior]

not really hooked up to .
probably due to me not having had my machine hooked up for the last few eons.

im game for whatever you throw our way, B.

just sniffing out here, would anyone be interested in a:
Emperor Wonder Victory

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Well it certainly would be different wouldn't it?

Btw, has anyone ever tried 'captiure the princess' ?

I most likely will start something mid-march, kindof strapped atm. Along those lines.

lurker's comment: This one was fun to watch. Sorry it ran aground.

BTW, I'd be interested in a defiant game, if anyone's up for that.

Oh... um... lemme see... yup, I looked at the difference in culture between 1400 and 1425, but forgot that I needed to divide that by 5...

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

You were correct, to a constant factor, which is good enough when you're talking to a mathematician

I'm starting to have very very weird ideas about what the next game is going to be, boys. Dangerously weird. Something of the same order of whackiness as the conquistador one. ETA March 21st, after the post spring break exams' rush.

I might be able to do that one B!

Robin' Da Hood? where we will be the hyperactive bully of the kindergarden (aka Shaka), with us obsessed about out precieved intel (trying for space), but also VERY much into the ladies (capture the princess)

it'll be 2 days into my new schooling (signed up for a MCSA 2003 + MCSE 2003)
