Remembers laughter
I thought I'd make a thread for me to ramble about my games. Before this April, the last time I submitted a game was 2010. I've played intermittently since then, but not really with the focus to make HoF entries.
I'm prompted to make the thread now since I just submitted another game; the other day I said in BlackBetsy's thread I was "quite a way off" from finishing my Huge Emperor Space race, but this weekend was a bank holiday so I played a few sessions.
The setup:
Huge Pangaea, 60% water, normal/temperate/5 bil years old, no barbarians, minimum aggression
I chose Sumeria, vs 12 opponents. All the scientific civs (although I forgot the Babylonians -- maybe I had planned to try for a CB SGL, which would make the Republic Slingshot very unlikely, I honestly don't remember if I tried that in this game [I do know there was no SGL]) plus the extra civs to improve chances of getting access to resources & luxuries. I opted for no-alphabet additional civs: America, China, Japan, Mongols, and Zulu.
Long story short: 1355 AD Launch!
I do plan to review some of the saves from various points of the game, to post specific stuff and hopefully get some critique.
