lurker's comment:
Silks? Who cares for Silks? Iron, folks, Iron is what you need...
Have you checked the unit stats? Without iron, you won't get far. Spears are 1.3.1 units here, and your Horsies will barely scratch them.
Not to mention once the AI has Companion Infantry.
Oh, and the Medean UU is a Sword derivate.

Don't think this conquest is winnable (by military means) without Iron at all.

I agree with you Doc that you couldn't win this without Iron, but that doesn't show up until Iron Working in the second era. I'm sure the team will make that an early priority when they get into the next era.

Who is playing?

GET IRON, NOT STONE!

 

[choxorn]

Well, the stone might have iron in it- it's scientifically possible- (blabs on and on about completely useless information for a while)

 

[soul_warrior]

Abaddon - wants to be banned. out. BACK SOON?
Mirc - MIA
HomeyG - up now?
D'Artagnan59 -on deck?
soul_warrior - played last (yet again)
Beorn-eL-Feared -

 

[choxorn]

You know, D'artagnan, YOU could play if you wanted to...

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Homey is MIA. So is loz. D'artagnan, get us iron. choxorn you're on deck. I'll take it from there.

 

[choxorn]

I can't play this SG- 1.22 patch won't read disc bug...

 

[soul_warrior]

B, can you get this...
loz (abaddon) should be back next week (following his self imposed exile)

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Following Doctor's orders, I made a straight way to iron working. We only have one turn on it so far. We have all the cash we need to keep on going at full.

The myceneans bought our contact from the hitties, although I'm not quite sure with what; they didn't know cuneiform when we spoke.

We are an oligarchy (rolled a 2T anarchy) and I'm working hard on making irrigation canals everywhere: we have good hills, but without a few food tiles, a hill city can be quite miserable.

 

[soul_warrior]

anyone?

Abbadon, you coming out of your self imposed exile?
id really, REALLY like to keep this going...

 

[choxorn]

If I can somehow get the 1.22 patch to work, I'll play.

 

[Abaddon]

Im bAAAaaaaaaaCCCKK!

Yeah i'll pick this up soon

 

[Abaddon]

by soon, i mean relativly.... my lappy is being "fixed" at the moment.. so possibly after the weekend.

 

[soul_warrior]

Abbadon? still being fixed?

i will play another set during the weekend if you havent by then.

 

[Abaddon]

why are we building east rather than west?

West is lush land of grass and water
East is desert n rocks!

for example, desert outlook, will that ever realisticly contribute anything?

The enemy is to the west.. build towards them and crush them, we can backfill later if need be for milkage.


Oh, and my laptop had a faulty harddrive! woops so, no civ for weeks im afraind.. also uni starts up soon.. so a few busy weeks as things kick off.. though dont worry i will resserect this soon aswell as pm'ing everyone to kick some assesback into gear!

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

I've built NE-wards for ressources, the others were there so might as well make barracks-military ... but it is indeed a weird call.

 

[choxorn]

Hello? Anyone playing?

 

[soul_warrior]

i can try and squeeze a set in monday night.

otherwise i suggest we do this on fre-grab base.

and - abbadon? you back from your self imposed exile?
