Bugs2.0 - The Gauntlet Revisited

IBT – A single cav sallies forth from Seoul and kills a sip defending Pyongyang.
The Military Academy completes.

4. 1180 AD – Expansion drop the tiles down to 85. Hire a clown in a city that is unhappy.

Our new Army nearly single-handedly takes Seoul. The remaining LB is quickly dispatched and the city falls.

Our sips march on Ulsan. Two units retreat, and two are victorious as the city falls.

Our first Sip Army marches on Wonsan and kills one defender.

Change two Byz cities to wealth, then settler and rush.

IBT – Renew the MPP with Henry.

5. 1190 AD – 66 Tiles to go. Wonsan falls. 1st Sip Army is redlined.

IBT – Renegotiate an iron deal with Henry for 78gpt. Then sell him our extra gems for 14gpt, 12g & WM… his entire economy.

6. 1200 AD – 58 tiles. Tatung gets a clown. Namp’o and Newton’s is captured.

@ Cheju – 2nd Sips take out a rifle but are down to 6hp.

7. 1210 AD – 44 tiles. We have six unhappy cities. Hire specialists as necessary.

Found Riza. We lose a sip taking Cheju. Hurry a few more libraries and settlers.

8. 1220 AD – 28 tiles. Rush another library. Found Zonguldak. Found Kirklareli.

@ Taejon – We retreat five sips and only kill two defenders. 2nd Sips come in and kill a third.

9. 1230 AD – 17 tiles. Rush three libraries.

@ Taejon –. 2nd Sips come in and kill a defender. A second is killed.

@ Pyongsong – 1st Sips is redlined killing a defender.

IBT – Portugal and Korea sign a peace treaty.
Three counterattacks – Two are defeated, a third retreats a sip.

10. 1240 AD – 17 tiles with three expansions coming up. Found Karabuk.

@ Pyongsong - come up one attacker short.
@Taejon – Kill three defenders and get a leader.
@ Inchon – Kill two defenders.

I think we will win on the interturn. Hit enter.

IBT – We get the Pentagon message :rolleyes:
The Portuguese complete US.

11. 1250 AD – 8 tiles to go. Capture Taejon. Capture Pyongsong.

Now we definitely have the win.

We’re magnificent.

Here’s the save for your Hall of Fame: http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads8/?M=D

Thanks to all for a very interesting game. I think I will take Sirian’s original Gauntlet save and play that in a future SG.
 
Your whole game was more exciting. This one was a nail bitier until China was :hammer: Scout set that campaign up. Then Yom and Gator brought down the hammer :hammer: Game in the bag.

A pair of those and without infantry Korea will fall like Scoutsout after a 6-pack of Coors light :rotfl:
A six-pack of bullets?!?! Aw man... :blush: I thought I'd made my bones well enough to at least rate a six of Guiness or Bass... pooh. feh... A six-pack o' bullets and which Ranger Batallion? :p (for some odd reason I'm feeling "defiant" this evening..)

@Bugsy: Nice finish! :thumbsup:

@Team: That was a heckuva lot of fun, I enjoyed it!
 
SB: Excellent finish - Those Sipahi Armies are really great to :hammer: on the AI with

Scout: :joke: Glad you've got a sense of humor, happy to play again with you anytime

Same to the rest of the team, great game and catch you all at the next one.
 
This was a great game everyone :D. Never underestimate the power of the Sihapi :hammer:. We literally ran over everyone once we got to Military Tradition.
 
@Denyd: I knew you were kiddin'.... just that I'd have expected the six-pack reference from Sesn for the mess I made in EOC2... from you I would have expected something more flamboyant... like maybe a toga party reference...
 
So what's next?

I'm down to two SG's (DD01 waiting for Conehead234 & SGOTM3, the Roman uphill battle) and since I bugged out on COTM3, I left waiting for GOTM34.

Anyone about to start a new SG?

Edit: Scout: I missed reading about EOC2. I will admit when I saw the situation when I began a couple of sets ago, I was certain you were in one of your hallucinogenic periods again :D
 
I'll be starting a third SG in about a week or two. I think I'm going to plagerize another idea from the RBCiv Epics. Those are some very challenging variants.
 
I'll give the authors full credit. I'm hoping I can create some interest in the cool ideas Griselda, Sirian, T-Hawk and Co. are coming up with over there. The present Epic is very difficult. You can only settle on the coast.

... just don't give Bugsy any bright ideas by sending him that "Mongolian Peace Corps" thing... I wouldn't know what to do with myself.
 
That's it a game where you can't build any military

I actually am looking for someone with editor knowledge to set one of those up for an SG I plan on hosting. No military units for anyone and have to win by domination.

To-ga! To-ga! TOGA!
 
Good finish Bugs :goodjob:

I enjoyed playing with all of you. That was my first game on Demigod level.

Can't wait for the next one.
 
No military games are actually more dependent on luck than anything else. hopefully you start on an island and the AIs are too busy fighting each other to be bothered with you. Now defiant AND no-military, that's something I'd like to see :D.
