CVH- Comeback of the Century (Axis of Evil)

[azzaman333]

Ansar and Own coming in is fine with me.

 

[conquer_dude]

Can we abandon a city and rebuild, if we need acces to something such as iron or whatnot?

And, I'm cool with Ansar and Own coming in.

 

[Own]

If everyone checks this thread a lot, even if you don't think you're up, this will work. The death of these 8 player rosters is after a players turn, they forget to check the thread ever again, and turns take forever. Just try and be ready.

 

[SimpleMonkey]

Then with complete unilateral arrogence, I submit the following upgraded roster:

SimpleMonkey - second city of five and potential trouble
conquer_dude - committed our first war crimes
classical_hero - city three!
azzaman333 - burnt pizza
CoolioVonHoolio - MIA??
TimBentley - UP!
Ansar the King - ON DECK
Own -

And I second the reminder that everyone stay on top of their turns, including the 24 hours to post a "Got it" and 72 hours to play. With of course leeway for shifts, shuffles and pauses.

Also, are we playing 5 or 10 turn sets? I suggest that 10 is okay for now, but that we switch to 5 once things get involved.

Very fun game so far. Anyone interested in making some archers and beating up on Mao again?

 

[Own]

I'm interested in beating up mao, he built the GL before me just now in a sid solo game . Damn him. Also, in RL, he was a bastard.

 

[conquer_dude]

I could! By the time the turns come around to me I couold probably be ready to take a Chinese city ot two.

 

[SimpleMonkey]

All right then! Death to Mao!

My personal vote is that we play loose 5CC -- we can take cities and abandon cities as long as we only have no more than five at the end of every turn.

 

[conquer_dude]

Yeah, I'm cool with that.

 

[Ansar]

I would be honored to join this mixed bag of people.

I had an idea for a fifth city since Aaron suggested our 4th.

And the plains and hill provide for shields.

Seems like a nice spot to me.

 

[conquer_dude]

Yeah that spot looks good.

 

[SimpleMonkey]

Let's do it. I think that gives us a good bit of territory to work with.

 

[conquer_dude]

But we would have to somehow hurry that temple, because
1: Naking may expand first

2: It could flip. (But most probably not)

 

[Own]

Ponies probably will be overruled by a pink city, just the first tier of cultural expansions will overrule our second. But it looks good anyway.

 

[conquer_dude]

Yeah, Own's right. There is a great oportunity that the Chinese will build a city there.

 

[SimpleMonkey]

Not much of a problem if we burn Nanking, now, is it?

 

[conquer_dude]

Not much of a problem if we burn Nanking, now, is it?

Of course not!

 

[TimBentley]

Got it. I'll see how late it is when homework is finished. The city spots look good.

 

[Own]

Another problem w/ horsies, no way to hook up until we conquer around lake (which isn't all that bad of an idea).

 

[Ansar]

a library could easily be built cause cow is +2 shields, city is not far away from capital so not much corruption, and library eventually overrules temples. plus, the chinese are not known to build temples early game.

You ahve a point there. Libraries are cheaper aren't they? And you're right with China not building temples, but eventually they will. We just have to keep our fingers crossed that we can expand first.
