CivIVor OT - Third time's the charm?

[IglooDame]

I just got to see the full map of this game. woah!!!! fun fun fun ahead.

faction members landed right next to each others. did igloo make teams when creating the game???? kinda weird!

Believe me, if I made teams when creating the game, EdTheGreat, JerichoHill and I would have been right next to each other.

 

[IglooDame]

VRWC, your next move may be your last. Make it count.

 

[bhsup]

Er...I shall try my utmost! Won't happen for a couple of hours, though. Sorry.

 

[bhsup]

Well, my utmost wasn't enough and my desperate gambit failed. Lizzyville is now wide open to anyone with a butterknife and I've no offensive units left.

[Lizzy mode]
My beloved subjects! Our civilization is entering a new era, and with your deaths at the hands of the rampaging cold warriors, your sacrifice will elevate me to the heavens! In this way we shall all, in the form of my deification and ascension into heaven, live forever! So sacrifice yourselves gladly, for in doing so you ensure your own immortality!

As it was, EdTheGreat was next to me, who really didnt like the aggressive city placement.

The catapult crews looked around. Hundreds of Cold axemen, having defended them valiantly from repeated desperate attacks, were lying around the battlefield injured or dead. Experienced medics were dispatched to do what they could, and the rest looked up at Lizzyville, pulled out knives and other personal implements of destruction, and despite little non-catapult-related training trekked up the hill determined to finish the job so many axemen had died attempting. They climbed the walls without opposition from above, and inside the city found no one who opposed their entrance, or their ascending into the palace to the royal flagpole and hoisting the colors of Cold (blue, with a diagonal white icicle in the shape of a sword).

Neither Queen Elizabeth nor any of her staff was ever found, but reflecting the city's heritage and future, Lizzyville was to be renamed Blizzard.


You've been an honorable and worthy foe, VRWCAgent, and it is no ill reflection on you that the power and might of the LAoD in the end would overcome you.

 

[BCLG100]

Soooooooo whens the next war happening? seems were knocking off people quite quickly these days.

 

[bhsup]

It's been a blast, guys! I'll keep lurking and whatnot in here. Regarding future wars, I imagine LAoD will eventually have to start turning upon one another.

 

[BCLG100]

well played VR, you managed to last longer than many other people.

 

[bhsup]

I'll tell you, I think I can pinpoint a few crucial mistakes on my part.

• Pop-rushing that library in Lizzyville early on. It decimated my ability to produce troops.
• Building a settler for that third city. I was trying to hem in Igloo, but the resources would have been better of used for more military.
• Even after those two mistakes, I may have been okay if I'd held back my troops and not gone into Cold territory. I was warned about this and should have listened.
• None of it was my fault, I swear! That psycho Queen of ours, man, she was nuts!

 

[IglooDame]

From my perspective, a couple other lessons-learned (for VRWC, me, or both of us):
- Don't start in a frigid tundra.
- In trying to hem me in, you stretched your defensible territory around mine, giving me the advantage of interior lines of communication, and more to the point moved you to the top of my list of civs I must fight to the death.
- Chop. Chop some more. I don't know what you were preserving the trees for (particularly in Lizzyville) post-mathematics.
- Don't attack out of cities with defensive units, they have substantially better odds if you leave them on the defensive.
- Two against one is ultimately costlier and slower (though still a victory) than four against one.
- Plan for bad RNG results, but don't plan for awful results or you'll miss windows of opportunity.

[*]None of it was my fault, I swear! That psycho Queen of ours, man, she was nuts!

She's probably escaping to Raisin Bran's capital even as we speak.

LAoD PARTY~!!!!!

Tough break VRWCAgent, but you just can't stop the LaoD

Exiled HOMBL scientists have discovered the problem. Excessive furry shell-fish dinners toxified the blood of our Queen, leading to delusions of grandeur. Sadly, as our citizenry was eating it as well, they bought into the whole thing. We bit off more than we could chew, and quite frankly should have just stayed hidden in the north all peaceful and loving.

Considering how you guys are the only faction left, I have to agree with you!

[Raisin Bran]

Now all is ok and turns will be taken regulary.

Thats ok, we're after the sexual disease kind...
