I am starting this thread for my use, but if any one else wants to post a game here, please do !

Unless otherwise stated, all games should be MGE, normal map, 1x1 , chat from the start..no passwords. If a game falls outside of these parameters.. please signify.

Game: Sunday Morning

MGE, hordes

Players:
Dogberry - Romans
Big Jim - Carthaginians
Flatlander Fox - Germans
JOCHEM - Spanish
Yulianka - Americans

to 100 AD

If the other players can't deal with the Spanish .. they are doomed..as the lead is that great. The German player just got Marco Polo & was busy cluing us in on this. The Romans & the Americans were at cross-purposes geographically, but have settled a long erosive conflict. AIs & pop-in players were busy biting the dust, right & left in the beginning.

<u>Note:</u>

The Spanish side has been passworded. Remembering the concept that the host "owns" the game & that a majority present allows the game to proceed ( in this case 3 players ) altho hopefully with some substitute players.

This allows for two possibilities:1) the game continues with the Spanish & the others have to work to keep Spain from dominating the game, or 2) the twerpsters struggle amongst themselves with a huge, supposedly well-organised AI looming in the background.

In the last example.. JOCHEM will have "won" the first session of this game.

Hey Dogberry,
Perhaps it would help out if you put the time in when we are going to play next. That way if we need extra people, they may be on ICQ at that time and we will have no problems to find someone to take over for one of us who hasn't made it...

Plus, this is a GREAT way to get people to get online and play some multiplayer!!!

Wished I knew Fox.. my schedule amongst all the other stuff I have to do, can be a mystery, even to me. However, see my note to the game precis above. Approaching it in this manner should give us enough flexibility to continue with the more interesting games.. any time enough of us are online & otherwise unoccupied at the same time.

BTW.. Fox this is not my thread, It is ours & everybody else's. If it gets too cluttered up.. I will just ask one of the moderators to clean it out.

I don't want to clutter the thread with my thoughts, but...

I meant that anyone posting a game on this thread should relay the time the next game session was going to be played (Your schedule is noted and forgiven

). That way, prospective stand ins would be able to be on ICQ at that time, and we should be able to get a game on. I also think that you would be able to entice the newer players (such as myself

) to come to a game where they have an idea of who is playing. Plus the added info that the game details give should make a few players more comfortable with the situation that they are stepping into...

Just some observations at the expense of your thread. I'll shut up now

.

Game: TGIF

MGE, hordes

Players:

Romans - Dogberry
Germans - BigBongHit
Aztecs - Flatlander Fox
English - Big Jim

to: 140 AD

<u>Comments</u>
A fairly even game. The Aztecs are coming up despite joining the game late. The Germans are in the lead, but not by much. It looks like no one had a really spectacular start. The Romans pretty much castrated the Zulus ( an AI ), but went too far & tried for conquest when they should have gone for further development instead.

Game: Joker

MGE, villages
5 Civs
3 billion year old land-forms
No Chat until Contact
No City Bribing

jiml - Romans ( "Cornhuskers" )
Milo/Metellisbrad/Flatlander Fox - Spanish
MoloTov/Komoda - Canadians
Dogberry - Greeks
Big Jim/Allan_Nicoll - Germans

to 660 AD

<u>Comments</u>

A really strange game so far. Most of the players are on a serpentine, globe-encircling, Pangaeic Continent, rather like the bands on a snake. Lots of tricks; the Canadians hid their true indenity from the Greeks by speaking ( typing ) in broken english ( it worked ! ), the Germans conned the Canadians & indirectly the Greeks out of advances & money for their "desperate war" against the Spanish. The Romans are naming all their cities for towns in Nebraska ( yaa ! ).. & built the Pyramids in Weeping Water ( double yaa ! ). The loss of the Chat feature makes the game harder for the host to keep track of who might be having connection problems. Some skirmishing between the Greeks & the Spanish.. a more serious war between the Spanish & the Germans.

At this point the Greeks & the Romans are neck & neck for the lead, but the Greeks have just started serious celebrating. The others are not really all that far behind, except for perhaps the Spanish. I think that even in this the Powergraph might be a little deceptive, for a number of reasons.

Done over 3 sessions, 1 long & 2 short ones. Molotov started out as host & transfered to me, when his computer hung. All in one evening & the next morning. Maybe 5 or 6 hours of play. Noted all the players in the order of their appearence, as there was more than a bit of "pass-along".

[Flatlander Fox]

Sunday night game


Souix: Flatlander Fox

Romans: The King/ Now Sadly an AI

English: ntnguy/Beerman

Vikings: jim

Japanese: Dogberry


Comments: The Souix have built Mike's Chapel, the Japanese have built the Pyramids (by accident<IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/smile.gif" border=0>) and the Colossus. The Vikings built the Embassy, and the English built the Library...

Should be very interesting as more exploration brings the 5 civs together. Right now there is not alot of interaction going on... And no war.

I'll keep you posted

THE NEXT SESSION: The game is progressing quite well, and the lead that the Souix thought they had earlier quickly evaporated

. I have been somewhat of a wonder hog (Adam Smiths, Copernicus, Isaacs College), but the Japanese have managed to build Magellens and the Gardens.

The Vikings built the Statue of Liberty, and are doing well.

The English are slowly digging themselves out of a pretty deep hole, but are getting back into the swing of things!!!

I hope to continue this game next Sunday at 1600 GMT+1
