CZ1: Byzantine Supremacy...

[Kuningas]

Got it.
sorry, I'm total noob in this scenario.
Should I start to prebuild Holy Roman Empire wonder immediately? This is monarch SG, we have good changes to get wonder with proper prebuild.

 

[AntiTwelve]

yes you defineteally should start prebuild in a city thats already proving to be strong in shield output (thank god the palace cost so much to build). Don't forget to focus on getting horseback riding and castle building to advance us. Once iron is hooked up,prepare the swordsman so we can take bulgars

 

[andvruss]

I was just thinking about getting blacksmiths, later on the viking tech tree, but I suppose that tech is too far up their tree.

IMPORTANT: I strongly recommend that everyone here downloads the latest patch for conquests before we continue. This beta patch solves such issues and the FP bug, and the double gpt bug. The link is:

------------------------------------------------------------
notes for next player:
Ancyra is settler/worker factory it needs some MM, check it every turn.
Continue to build barracks and horses. You can disband some regular units (2 warrior etc).
I went to horses instead of swords. I think we can banish Bulgarians with horses and later upgrade them.

[Kuningas]

I forgot I made gpt deal with Germans.

...I download latest patch rightaway.

 

[Kuningas]

Roster:

1. Mitsho (on deck)
2. Andvruss
3. Cizzlewalk
4. Kuningas (just played)
5. Farske (you're up)

 

[mitsho]

yeahyaeh, I'm ready. but farske is first. ..

mfG mitsho

 

[AntiTwelve]

good set of turns kuningas, good call on the sale of our colosseum.

hopefully farske won't try anything "too" wild

 

[AntiTwelve]

just a thought, if farske or mitsho go next, try and build some swords too, cuz the cost for upgrading all those horsies is NOT going to come cheap

also..where is our prebuild?!?! try and get a palace going somewhere for the holy roman empire wonder.

 

[Kuningas]

It costs 120 gold to upgrade horse to cataphract. Average 50gpt for next 32 turns. 32*50+200(current)=1800gold. We can upgrade 15 horses. Estimate 30 horses been built in 30 turns. However we don't need to upgrade all horses at once, and 15 cataphracts do quite a lot destruction to our rivals.

The holy roman empire. I am not confident about prebuild. Don't start it in city with good production. There isn't good cities left for prebuild.

ptw, found cities pretty close each other. No more than 3 tiles apart. This has three advances. 1. Cities are easier to defend. You can move spear in one turn to next city. 2. Higher military support. 3. We aren't going to build aqueducts in this game, high density quarantees we get all good tiles.

 

[AntiTwelve]

Err...umm...perhaps.
Ok, I see your logic on the cataphracts, but don't forget, as time passes we might lose that gold because we keep building military and/or we ship out gold to get other tech.
Now, the prebuild for HRE, a city with good production does not constitute that we will not meet our "quota" of horses for upgrades, by that time we should have enough units for the attack. Since this game is only 204 turns long, you need to realize the urgency of getting techs so often that we can stay one step ahead of the enemy and that they don't surprise us with knights while we are still on castle building

 

[Farske]

Dont want to let everyone down, so Ill miss or pull out tottally.
1) prob ruin your game
2) its xmas, very very busy
3) findin enough times a pain...

sorry all, Ill continue to lurk, or if possible, Ill skip this turn, carry on next time?

Sorry, and ta
Farske

 

[AntiTwelve]

ok ok man...dats coo, no prob, and you can't say you'd ruin the game until you tried..right?

that means Mitsho is up, Mitsho I know this is like 3rd game but please respond saying you can or can not play. Wirklich schon, nicht?

 

[AntiTwelve]

So, obviously, we have a new opening in our game...if someone is out there wishing to play with us, come and join

 

[AntiTwelve]

Mitsho has one day to comply with the 48 hour rule, and I don't think he's coming since he said he would be gone for awhile in another thread...
Andvruss, please get ready just in case

 

[AntiTwelve]

It's official, Mitsho is gone for the holidays, so Andvruss it is your turn
