C3C Zeta Epic pbem - Continents, Large.

Dang. The Iroquois blinked first. Attacks have begun against the vile Egyptians. If we find any flamingos, we'll let our neighbors know.

The city of Lisht (or something like that) was razed. Desert outposts are kind of pointless. Alexandria was captured for a use to be determined.

Looks like the lights are going out all over the world...

I don't like the way the Maya keep coming back to surround my cities, while waving their matchsticks around.

Well, I declare!

..although strictly speaking, it was the Mayans who did, rather than leave our hallowed ground.

Cleo is guarding her cities with sticks. One spear taken out and Heliopolis is painted in purple.

200 moves in 402 days. Thank you everyone..

The Mayan casualty list, richly earned by their declaration last turn is, so far:
5 cities, 11 javelin throwers, 2 warriors, 9 spearman.
One of our warriors stubbed his toe in an assault and is recuperating.

You have to pity the poor Greeks.
Denuded of most of their cities, they skulk in corners of the continent...
... and guess where the oil appears

Our coal plants spew forth much filth onto the landscape..
.. solution, more slaves needed

 

[SpikeIt]

Yes, congrats team. This game has been moving along great! The next 200 turns should be a fun ride!

Now back to our regular programming...

The Iroquois continue their rampage across the Egyptian landscape. Giza and Thebes fall to the raging cavalry. Cleo is starting to consider using more than manequins to defend her cities...

In other news, the Mayan response to battling the mighty Byzantines... why, revolting of course!

I have been happy with the quick movement of this game. Some are so slow I lose interest. Congrats to all for keeping this game moving.

We notice not only the speed of the game but also the speed at which the AI is disappearing from the map.

Slowing the pace a little, to exercise all our warriors.

The Greeks can breathe more easily.
Our interior minister is sacked for only now spotting oil reserves in the middle of our core territory.

 

[SpikeIt]

Memphis falls without much more than a whimper. Maybe Cleo shouldn't have been attempting wonder builds all this time.

More punishment for the Maya.

Elephantine and Byblos fall. Cleo decides peace is in her best interest.

Our guerillas and artillery are sent over the massive mountain ranges to enter the central Mayan valley, obscured by clouds.
Slow progress.
We spot tourists frolicking in the farmlands.

 

[SpikeIt]

Ack! Gorillas spotted in the Mayan forests. That's unexpected... and possibly overkill. We hope the wildlife are taken care of properly and that the tourist exhibits are kept open during these times of conflict.

Back home - just nation building.
