I really hate it when a hut gives a scout a map...

 

[big mazy]

hm....exploration continues but nothing yet...gps

 

[McLMan]

Everything a young empire needs . . . Except LUX's.

 

[bathsheba666]

Another hut for next turn....

 

[big mazy]

gps...well nothing new really...explore,explore!

 

[McLMan]

Workers working. Scout scouting.

 

[Salte]

Popped another hut, this doesn't look good.

 

[bathsheba666]

barbs: plentifull and angry

Be careful what you ask for, my friend...


Knowing the RNGods, let's hope they all head south anyway....

 

[Salte]

I know, i brought it all upon myself.
Actually since i am the last human player i get to see the barbs movements. They all ransacked Niniveh and ran away with my gold.

@Salte:

Oooh, that reminds me...

In the other PTW pbem, we found that the last human gets all the Announcements, like
'X started Great Wonder W', or 'Y completed Great Wonder Z', or 'barbarian uprising'.
...whereas the other players do not get these..

Would you mind broadcasting these onwards, when they occur?

btw, cannot play my turn until I'm back from work tonight.

 

[Salte]

I'll do my best to remember that.
Btw, do you know how this works in C3C PBEMs? I'm playing in a few atm but can't remember getting any of those announcements in any of them.

 

[bathsheba666]

In timely atonement for the map fiasco...
...we get some gold and a band of enthusiastic fellow travellers....
...unfortunately a long way from settlable and defensible terrain

@Salte:
It could be the same in C3C... I'm fairly new to this though.
Certainly I get no Wonder announcements.

@Everyone:
We should have extended the BAD start provision to the AI.
Despite having the most advanced town, Rome looks to be struggling.

All quiet in Scandinavia ... gps

 

[Salte]

Popped my third hut and guess what? Yes, them nasty ones again.
*mutters* should have chosen an expansionist civ....

Here in the expansionist corner, four scouts range the land.

One of them found a picturesque village, full of chatty villagers.

The saga for the next 10 moves is:
Will our vulnerable and unaccompanied settler make it back to our zone, unbounced by baa-baas?

Doh!!!! I forgot expansionist civs don't get barbs from huts.

Found a hut. Salte has me nervous about popping it!

This whole time I've been running my Scout past the huts and letting the spears trudge along behind 1/2 speed to pop the huts. Well, that's what I'm hoping for from this PBEM - getting to be a better CivIII player. I'm sure I'll probably have another revelation when one of your (or all of yours) SoD's is sitting outside of my last city.

 

[big mazy]

well...begining to fell like robinzoncrusoe...nobody yet...gps

 

[McLMan]

Fearlessly popping huts now ... and got a tech!!
