Boff-02 Behaving Badly

[kgsolomon1]

Yea I tried every tile on there and nothing changed the settler or the research time (only for the worse) so I kept it where it was. I played about 20 turns i think, wanted to stop before fishing came in to decide where we wanted to go from there. Anyway here is my report, sorry it took so long:

IT told warrior to heal up.

2725 - Started moving the warrior towards our to-be city location

2700 - Nada

2675 - Figured out that if you make things round...they roll!

Selected Masonry next so it was done by the time the worker made it to the marble, due in 11 turns, Settler due in 5, and gave the puny scout a woodsman I promotion.

2650 -

Long behold...the mighty...the fearless...the medic...it's RRRRRRAANGEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR SMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITHHHHHH!!!

Happy? LOL

2625 - Warrior finally healed, what a pansy. Told him to go catch me a worker!

2600 - Nada

2575 - Yea, lots of nothing.

2550 - Settler finished, started a barracks until we reach size four. Farm finished at the same time so I sent the worker to go road the copper.

2525 - WHat the hell is Rosie doing? I see he is working at least one fishy, maybe two, and he has a WB floating towards our next city spot.

But not yet. Start moving the settler to it's final resting place.

Look at that hallway of protection!

Ok anyway, moving on...

2500 - Nada

2475 -

I thought about naming it Ranger Town but in the end decided not too

Started a Monument. There isn't much to work so monument in 23 turns, and our lazy worker finally got his butt to the copper so he could start building a road. A Nasty panther was putting his sights on Ranger Smith so I moved him into position.

2450 -

Pffffff, that panther had nothing on Ranger Smith! His two barrels of...darts?...and hatchets slaughtered the black panthers enlightening him to his beast inside. Too much?

2425 - Nada

2400 -

With masonry done I decided to do fishing. Prague wont grow to size 2 for another 14 turns, fishing is only going to be 7, pottery was going to be 13 or 14 I can't remember, so I figured it was ok to do it next. Mistake?

BTW Prague's maintenance is -1.99, so we're losing 2gpt.

2375 - Aachen grew to size four so now it is working the corn, copper, FP and farmed FP. I switched to building a worker which will be done in 7 turns.

2350 - Nada

2325 - Just movin our peeps around, haven't seen a worker from Rosie ever.

2300 -

Stupid lion keeps going in and out of the fog, I guess he knows not to mess with the Ranger.

2275 - Nada

2250 - I stopped here. Fishing is due in 1 turn so we can discuss what patch we want to take from here, criticize any mistakes I made and decide on more baby names.

Here is where we're at:

Fishing in 1 turn, quarry done in 3, and you can see the rest from the pics.

 

[Liquidated]

hehe need a save..

Imo fishing was a fine choice as would had you picked the alternative of pottery. Can do no betweeen those two

As for Liq, effing photobucket is STILL down so I cannot see nor post screens.

This is bad for a few reason, one It's hard for me to read posts and two my reports are going to be dead boring.

So skip liq til he gets back screenshots (cannot be too long can it?)

Staying with 3.13 for this SG btw since I don;t have room on the hard drive for two installs of CIV4 and the other SG's I am in are keeping it.

As for renaming towns, I find the game just keeps recycling the same name over and over til you don;t change it so... unless multiple bigmen die holding a city, renaming settled towns is a losing game.. oh well eh?

so modified order..

Liq (is blinded by science)
Silver (up, honest)<---------------------------- up!
Refar (we dare not ask)
Corneh (still in gandhi mode)
Kgsolomon1 (Has rosie dreams of free workers)

Need the save tho.

Cheers!
-Liq

 

[kgsolomon1]

Ah yes, sorry about that. Save is up. You can't see my pictures from photobucket? They show up for me, can no one else see?

 

[Refar]

I can see Kgsolomons pictures...
So perhaps the problem is somewhere on Liq's side ? (I had a trojan once, it redirected me to some crappy advertising website every time i tried to go google... I was blaiming google for beeing a bunch of dirty spammers for nearly two weeks, before suddenly i got the idea, that it might me something on my end...)

Or you could try another hoster - ImageShack does not require registration iirc.

PhotoBucket had their DNS server hacked and since then any link to them directsme to the site that it was originally pointed to by the hacking group. The isp placed the following warning.

http://www.atspace.com/dedicated-web-server-hosting-domain-articles-news/web_hosting.html

IMPORTANT! Photobucket.com problem read here:
Last night Photobucket.com DNS at register.com was hacked by malicious people that are trying to compromise our business!
We are in no way affiliated with such bad deeds and cooperate with photobucket in capturing these individuals.
They have pointed the domain photobucket.com to an account hosted on our systems!
We have blocked that and photobucked techs have restored the domain pointing to its original location!
ALL account information and pictures on photobucket.com are OK, please have patience!
Unfortunately the complete DNS replication usually takes 24-48 hours and during this time caches DNS records might still point to us!
The normal operation of Photobucket is restored and as soon as the replication is complete there should be no further such issues!
We would like to emphasize that we are in now way responsible for what happens with photobucket and all users bumping across our systems!
We are a legitimate web hosting company operating since 2003 and in no way tolerate such hacking attempts!
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us at abuse@zettahost.com!
Thanks for your patience and understanding!

been 2 days now so I'm assuming it will be fixed soon.

just flushed the dns casche as well and nada.


Cheers!

[kgsolomon1]

Very strange about photobucket. I agree lets keep 3.13, but I'll probably switch after this game is finished.

 

[Liquidated]

And boom, Photobucket is back... all good.

Told ya it would work itself out.

Ok, I'll take the turns tonight after dinner then np.

So tech path is pottery then uh... ok need the game open to see the tech chart haha..

Just need priesthood now to slingshot code, ja?

I'll look at it after dinner.

Cheers!
-Liq

 

[kgsolomon1]

Yea we need fishing to build a WB after the monument in the second city, need priesthood and writing (are we going for MC or CoL?).

 

[S.ilver]

Gah. Ok, you better be taking it Liq, as I need to revert my game back to 3.13 now then (was messing with it last night).

 

[Liquidated]

Col is religion(prolly) and our UB courthouse lowering upkeep 75%. MC are forges for our threeish towns, one of which will be still making a work boat no doubt hahaha.

Liq votes Col..

Cheers!
-Liq

 

[kgsolomon1]

That's what I want to go for, CoL, but figured I'd put it up for discussion.

 

[S.ilver]

CoL seems like the best idea. An obvious cornerstone tech in any case; getting the religion would be a very nice boost. Since it unlocks our uber UB, no reason to wait around.

EDIT: Liq is up right?

 

[Liquidated]

Liq is indeed up... I want to move onto 3.17 honest honest, 3.13 is just so craptastic it's not even humorous.

Waiting on the clear from those notorious chain SG'ers like Refar though as normally, you don;t upgrade the version mid sg.

Liq's random pearl of wisdom...
Always pick your fights with the SG host carefully.. refar is a master at this hehe


oh well seems refar will be going 3.17 soon enough so I'll play soon hehe.

Cheers!
-Liq

 

[Refar]

I am fine with 3.17. (Actually judging by the patch notes, im not too sure if i am fine with it, but i have to try to know for sure )

 

[Liquidated]

You like the way schwartz tested the Wrath of God over in pita?



Always so much easier when someone else takes the fall.


Ok, so to be explicit, moving to 3.17.

There's some fun changes here but at least WW isn;t so silly. hahahahah.

Cheers!
-Liq

 

[Refar]

Oh, well someone had to do it.

 

[kgsolomon1]

So download the 3.17 patch?

 

[Liquidated]

Yeah 3.17 it is. Playing turns when the sun goes down btw. Soz for the delays!

Can;t wait for the unofficial patch to fix the patch to fix the patch to fix the release.


Cheers!

preturn:
ok horrid week so far for this SG hehe.

As a poor liq was finishing rolling the starts for this game and the process of photoshoping/bucketing them, some sort of ugly stomach virus hit me. This thing came out of nowhere and it was good old vomit city for el Liq for 3 or so days.

way for a host to skip their first turn haha.

Soon after, a flurrie of sg stalling events occurred...
Fanatics disabling uploads for 24ish hours and photobucket getting nuked... as liq was vomiting whatever was last eaten. Took a long time for Liq's dns server to see photobucket again.

Now it's the Broken patch to replace the broken patch in 3.13 to 3.17. After boffo1's adventure in broken WW, I'll take the unknown evils of 3.17 thankyou.


So with that... boring turns incoming! 3.17 Stylee!!!!

[1]2225 BC
Fishing comes in..

much celebration indeed.. as the natives hunt for the elusive fishie.

start up pottery in 9

Still no sigh of a rosie worker. He's prolly still making workboats with his 3+ fishie start haha.


[2]2200 BC
Aachen (prolly being called Athens randomly by Liq) pops it's worker and I decide to let it finish it's barracks in 5 as war soon....

Get the new worker to mine a riverside plains hill first as Achen is going to need to go stunt growth form soon. Gonna need the hammers as well.

Elmer Fudd is still worker hunting, thinking Rosie got one of those 3 fishie starts.

The Unknown Soldier lines up free exp by patiently sitting there whacking end turn..

[3]2175 BC
Unknown Soldier lays the smack down on said lion and is now 3 exp!

uh exciting turns so far, Calgon take me away.

[4]2150 BC
Quarry finishes so get prague working it to take monument from 10 turns to 5.

[5]2125 BC

Rosies borders pop slamming Mr. fudd off the hill. still no sign of a worker...

though he's getting a bit punch drunk..


[6]2100 BC
snooze

[7]2075 BC
Barracks finishes and capital is one turn from happy cap. Start working on an axe then going heavy hammer to push axe out faster after poopulation maxes.

[8]2050 BC
we get our sheep hooked up for free...

complete trade route and all due to the river. Funny.

Capital is happy cap now so lower turns on axe to 4 by working that new mine and a forest.

Marble is all roaded so going to start the link to capitol for them free sheep!

[9]2025 BC
Prague finishes Monument and so start on woarkboat in 11... uh border pop in 15... ok nevermind gonna stall that workboat a few turns and force a growth.

[10]2000 BC
Pottery is in yay. Go writing in 14 as it is at least useful hehe.

Prague is size 2 so move back to heavy hammers to beat on a granary in 15.. 14 turns on border pop.

rosies point score hasn;t changed so far, been 121 for a while now. honestly think he has a 4+ fishie start or something and is just hammering out boats all this time.

[11]1975 BC
WABBIT Sighting!!! 3 turns on a road hmm. gonna take that long to get close... hope for a mine!
uh missing screenshot , a few of those this time...

[12]1950 BC
Aachen finishes axe so I dub him Yogi. I consider another axe but go granary in 6. I move Yogi up north.

[13]1925 BC
Elmer fudd is running on over to that wabbit!

[14]1900 BC
Not sure WTH Rosie is thinking but... hmm here we go..

Wabbit snatched lets see if we can hold on!!!

[15]1875 BC
no counter attack and...

Success!!!

Run Wabbit on back to the burrow and elmer goes deeper to bust some fog. Ranger smith is coming in for back up... the natives are restless!

the lone exploring rosie warrior is back so slot a 4 turn axe in capital while Yogi the axe is in prague

prague is connected to trade now btw and back on workboat so it can work fish the same turn borders pop.

more missing screens....

[16]1850 BC
WOW Someone set Rosie up the bomb...

The rare 5+ fishie start!!!!! Looks like Rosie scored himself a sushi factory. And look at that (Cottage) Cheese.... They need to add a George W Bush leader with sterling play like that.

It just gets worse for rosie huh. We got ourselves a globe town people. btw you think we could call those Sea Horses and claim a 6 fishie start?

[17]1825 BC

Yogi eliminates America's Task Force WEST with 99.3 odds but is down to 2.9 strength... promote cr 1 for the heal to 4.0 str. Definitely not Bigman material there yet.

Well he popped an archer and promoted attack hehe.

[18]1775 BC
Capital Gets it's fp cottage so works that, workers go for the other riverside plains hill mine.
Finishes axe so move back to granary in 3 turns

[19]1750 BC

it's quiet

[20]1725 BC

And so that's it.

Cold War with Rosie in full swing, that guy got shafted by the RNG HARD.

Marble is online in the Capital.

Elmer Fudd is busy foritfying on the safest place around... the non roaded forest hill which is across the river from washington. Rosie is already making attack archers so you know he has a counterattack in mind hehe. Those horses of rosie are not hooked up and he has no copper.

Yogi is healing in prague and Boo Boo is just passing though on his way north. I promoted Yogi CR to speed up healing as he stunk the place up on that warrior kill.

Ranger Smith is hanging back to hook up with the jellystone crew... he doesn;t trust that Fudd guy.

Wabbit is doing the old slow roast grasshill mine so that the forest chops after the workboat. 2 more turns on workboat and then immediately move it to the fish as borders are popping in 3.

The worker clone army is nailing the last of the riverside plains hills to allow for a max hammer setup for Aachen when it's oracle time. Can move them north to pimp Prague and a future town. I did not cottage the FP willy nilly btw, it was a measured improvement.

Capital is hammer heavy now such that whipping it isn;t a no brainer. It's about to become an amazing Imperial Settler Pump without need of the whip.

20sh tuns to knock off the BC years then 15ish to 10ish with no hard turn count. Whatever seems natural.

Rosies town is a serious GP farm/draftmobile hahaha.

Cheers!

3.17 Save.

 

[Refar]

Wow... Rosie got himself a great GPP-Farm over there...

No Copper, no iron. He's as good as dead. We just need to mount something up before he got to Feudalim (shouldnt be too soon...). For now he's probably going to need a new worker, who then will be back on the rice
