-Cumae produces legionary, switch to legionary
-I start moving our legionarys toward Utica

90BC:
-Monarchy at last![dance]

-Lateria produces spearman, switch to legionary

10BC:

-Set Utica production to spearman
-Legionary attacks barbarian warrior, kills barbarian
-Rome produces legionary, switch to legionary

10AD:
-Carthage warriors on the move
-Switch Virconium from Spearman to settler

30AD:
-Legionary kills barbarian warrior
-Legionary dispatches barbarian encampment, we get 25 gold, and legionary is now elite
-Veii produces legionary, switch to legionary
-Legionary kills Carthage warrior

Here is the save:

30AD- Romans on the Move

Comments:
1)We look to be in good shape. Next player should keep an eye on barbarian activity. I nearly lost a settler and three workers.
2)We have a settler in Hispalis, i believe there are barbarians to the SW of Hispalis, the settlers destination.
3)I didn't revolt. Never had that option during a golden age, and I'm not sure of the effects it would have. We need to discuss this further.
4)I spent most of my ten turns gathering troops near Utica. We are still under our limit for troops, however that would change with Monachy. The next player is in good shape and can hopefully wipe Carthage off the map.
5)I was unable to expand due to barbarians.

If I think of more I'll put it up later.

Were the Carthaginians in anarchy when you attacked? (Y'know, switching to Monarchy)? That would've been sweet...

 

[Sandrock LQ]

I didn't check actually. Take your time with the next few turns guys. I'll be tied up for about the next week and a half.

 

[SolarKnight]

Ive got it but ill wait for some discussion before i take my turns, sounds like there is quite a lot going on.

good to hear that egypt has been destroyed, one opponent down, 6 to go

 

[SolarKnight]

EDIT: sorry for double post

 

[Smellincoffee]

Just three, I think. Isn't this a tiny map? I think the main force should hit Carthage, but use a smaller force (3-5?) of legions to take out Leptis Magna. We should also try to send a few settlers to occupy that far east section of our continent, lest our enemies do it for us.

Not sure how many Carthaginian cities remain. What, four? We could postpone the revolution until then.

 

[SolarKnight]

I think its a Standard Map,

Would anyone have any objections to me checking out the f10 screen, i could do it on a previous save if necessary .

This would just be to see who we are up against.

 

[SolarKnight]

It would probably be best if all settlers were escorted by at least spearmen from now on.

 

[Smellincoffee]

It's a "Small" map. Just checked on the first page. I think there's six players on Small maps, so that means we have...four opponenets lefT?

Not sure, never have played on a Small map. All of mine are Tiny or Standard.

 

[SolarKnight]

anyone want to add some input for these questions?

Monarchy: Do we need to revolt now or wait for our Golden age to end?

Expansion: Shall we continue the colonisation of this continent or look for others to settle?

Conquest: After checking out the save, it seems we have plenty of troops to at least make a dent on Carthage, does the team want me to push forwards or continue to build up troops?

EDIT: Im able to play my turns now guys.

Sorry

Hello ! It's quite silent here... I hope that you will make it through the game.

Continuing on my burning out, I have to tell you that I will probably not be able to be kind of a teacher for you. I was supposed to run a training game next time, but I might not have the heart to do it, unfortunately. If this game lasts for too long, maybe then enough time will have passed for me to regain interest in running such a game. I'll tell you so and see how this game is running if that happens. Don't hesitate to ask me questions of any kind via PM, I'll answer you every time.

Best luck !

[Sandrock LQ]

Thanks kryszctov, your help is appreciated.

Solar Knight, any chance your turns will be posted soon? I've been pretty busy, and I forgot that I had this going.

 

[SolarKnight]

Sorry for the Wait guys, wont happen again, here are my turns.

Pre - turn: check everything, hit enter.

Rome Legion -> Legion, begins a long march to Thebes.

Warrior near Virconium goes out to eradicate the barb camp nearby.
Virconium Worker buiiding a mine.
I begin to advance troops into carthaginian territory, be afraid hannibal, be very afraid.
Workers near Memphis building mines.
Send Hispalis settler SW to claim the game and forest squares.
Hispalis legion sent as escort.

IBT: Our Golden Age has finished
during the rest of our moves, a barb camp is uncovered near Memphis.

turn 3 90 AD: One of our legions near Utica kills the carthage warrior and promotes to elite.
we continue our advance on carthage, some of our units are right on hannibals doorstep.
Send a legion near memphis to the old egypt dyes site in case barbs appear

turn 4 110 AD: Memphis: Spearman -> Barracks.
byzantium founded SW of Hispalis, set to spearman.
workers arranged near Memphis to connect up roads and develop the land.
Barbs near Virconium are history.
Attack Carthage with Vetran Legion, we win.
Attack again with Elite Legion and we win again, but redline. Carthage is ours with an added bonus of three resistors.
Move another two legions into carthage to deal with resistance.
Attack Leptis Magna with vetran legion, we lose but redline the numid.
Attack again with vetran legion, wins promotes to elite.
Next vetran legion loses, numid promotes to vetran but only has 2hp.
Vetran Archer attacks the numid and wins!!
Leptis Magna is ours with 1 resistor, hannibal really is too kind, since we capture a worker in the process.
Carthage will talk peace for two cities but i think we can push further into his territory.

turn 5 130 AD: Rome legion -> legion
Veii legion -> legion

barb buster near virconium moves northward to dispatch suspected barb camp
lots of worker activity near memphis.
entertainer hired to control civil disorder in carthage.
our mighty legions begin their advance on the new carthaginian capital, Theveste.

turn 6 150 AD: Resistance in carthage and leptis magna ends.
several worker moves.
Vetran Legion attacks Theveste and captures it, giving us a worker and promoting to elite, got to love the militaristic trait. (one resistor in city)
We advance towards Hippo.

turn 7 170 AD: Antium -> legion -> legion (may have to go off of war mode soon, carthage wont be around much longer if the war continues at this rate.)
more worker moves.

turn 8 190 AD: civil disorder ends in carthage at the cost of one citizen starving.
Attack hippo with vetran legion and numid dies leaving legion with only 2hp
Barb buster kills barb horseman but redlines, he is now elite.
Vet legion kills numid and takes Hippo.
barb appears near Leptis Magna (oops only an archer left in city, hope he can handle it)


turn 9 210 AD: Rome: Legion -> Temple
few worker moves.
Next turn will be the last chance i have to hurt carthage, hopefully when the next player takes over carthage will be reduced to one city.

turn 10 230 AD: Thebes and Veii: legion -> temple.
leptis minor is ours after our vetran legion finishes off the numid inside, giving us two workers.
seems i was wrong, carthage has three cities left. but will accept peace giving us two of them, will leave that desicion to the next player.
the next player may have to remobilise our legions if he wants to wipe out carthage, i think i left them in cities to get rid of resistance as i advancved, i didnt revolt, i saw the chance to move and i took it.
carthage is now a shadow of its former self.


once again sorry for the wait, ive had family and computer issues to contend with this week, everything sould return to normal next week though, im back at university and will be able to play properly again.

I will post screen shots later if i get a chance.

[Sandrock LQ]

No problem on the wait, I just hope the other guys are still around.

 

[Smellincoffee]

I'm still here, but count me as out until Monday.

 

[SolarKnight]

Here is carthage before my turns:

and here is carthage after my turns:

I think there may be another city hidden in the north under the fog.

Im sure i remember there being three cities left, if not well it will just make it easier on us

 

[SolarKnight]

Is everyone still playing this game?

 

[Smellincoffee]

Aye, I'm still here. Constantine is up, followed by Resistor..

 

[Sandrock LQ]

Yea, I'm still here too, I've been sick, which is why I have not posted much. I do know that I'm not due for a turn for quite a while.
