CCF3 -- C3C Monarch

I have returned. I will have internet service back up tomorrow at my new apartment. I should be able to take my place again after that.

How did we get the Portuguese again? At least the start on this one looks better.
 
Welcome back Infoman :D, great to have you. Believe me, I know what unreliable internet service is.

Welcome aboard CCF3, DeceasedHorse as well as to CivFanatics' Forums :D

I'm still sick, so DeceasedHorse should play next, if he can.
 
Nice to have you back, Infoman. :D

Oh, and welcome to CFC & Succession Gaming, DHorse! :D
 
Looks like the game is fairly new, and from the first post there is one more slot, so I thought I'd ask if you have room for one more.

I am at the monarch level. Win just a bit more than I lose, and am looking forward to a few SGs to help me gain some of the skills necessary to improve my play.
 
Let me know if I messed up anywhere, especially on the turn count!

Summary: Short Phony War with the germans. We have a pretty bad start, in terms of strategic resources, although I have a settler on the way to set up an iron site. I'd recommend we gear up for a mass upgrade to swords and take out the germans, although that's up to whoever is next. Our intial expansion got slowed up by the war, so pump settlers and ESPECIALLY workers if possible.

2150 B.C. Inherited turn: Hit Enter
1) 2110: Lagos builds warrior, starts another. Switch temple in Oporta to granary; we need workers and settlers. Emirta Founded. Scount pops goody hut, we get horseback riding-but we have no horses:cry: Tech lead over everyone we have contact with 'cept the mongols who are even with us.
2.) 2070: Scout around
3.) 2030 Lisbon builds spear, starts worker. We need roads, fast.
4.) 1990: Furs connected. Lisbon finishs worker, starts barracks.
A German conscript warrior marches up to Oporta, I smell a sneak attack. German Archer spotted to the west.
5.) Bismark Launches sneak attack:mad:

with one conscript warrior

Right

We win.
6.) 1919 B.C. Iron working due in one let's see if we get any.
Scout locates English. They are broke and trailing us in tech. Mongols have iron working. Switch granary in Oporto to barracks, whip it out.
7.) Oporto Starts archer. No Iron, crud. Spot some to the NE next to the mongols and to the west of lisbon, across the water. Bismark, of course, has iron right next to Leipzig. Sell warrior code to lincoln the isolated for all his money, set science @100 percent towards math for catapults.
8. 1830: Celts start the Oracle
9.) 1790: The german archer pounces on one of our warriors, wins.
10.) Lagos builds worker, starts spear
11.) 1725: Emerita builds worker, starts archer. Meet the Russians, who'll buy horseback riding for 111 gold. Decide against it, since we are running science at 100% at a minimal deficit and can't use gold for anything else under despotism.
12.) Guimara builds archer, starts archer.
13.) 1675: Lisbon builds barrracks, start settler. We need that Iron and only Lisbon has a granary and pop to spare.
14.) Bismark offers peace straight up. We agree. He's broke, but has iron working so we need a breather to build up.
15.1625 cout around
16.) 1600: Oporto builds archer, starts spear.
17.) Lisbon Settler-Warrior. Lisbon can build vet warriors every two turn right now, which we can mass upgrade, hopefully, once Iron comes on line, if we want to prepare to invade germany
18. scout
19. Lisbon Warrior->Temple: Change it depending on decided strategy.
20. 1525: Lagos Spear->Temple

So, either go crazy with settlers and expand to the north and east, or get ready for war. Up to whoever is next. :nuke:
 
@Pedro de Lisboa: Thx for the support! ;) I expect you'll be lurking on this thread. Sorry all the slots are full, but you're welcome to comment :D Welcome to CivFanatics' Forums.

@DeceasedHorse: Good call on the horseback riding. At the Monarch level, we need to keep the AI as far behind us in tech as possible! :D
 
Thanks. I probably shouldn't have even sold the tech to abe, but he's hopelessly behind and still on an island. We still have one more civ to meet, but I've spotted their borders with the boat but couldn't get close enough to see who they are.
 
I see I'm after DH in the lineup, but since I just joined i wasn't sure if I'd come up that fast. If I don't hear otherwise by the time I get home, I'll get it this evening.
 
Oh boy, pressure is on! :lol:

I've read back through this thread, and don't have a clear idea on what our game plan is. What victory condition are we going for? Maybe a little discussion on where we are at and what our near/long term goals are? I almost wish I had civ3 installed here at work, so I could open the save and take a look, but it will have to wait till I get home.
 
hmm thats a good question, i havent really thougth which victory we are gonna try to go after but, i personally wouldnt mind domination or conquest
