Oblivion you around? Is day 4 now without a comment, or an update, or a post, or a peep? How does everyone feel about a skip?

I agree. Hopefully Oblivion will update us soon, otherwise if someone is available, they should take my save.

Is anyone going to take this? Sandrock is thursday tommorow, can you grab it??

I'm pretty much hoping Sandrock takes this tomorrow. I wish we knew what happened to Oblivion. If we can't make progress in the next couple days, I'm going to push this on to the next round.

Okay. This is getting pretty bad. Its been 11 days since we last had some movement in this game. Oblivion is AWOL since last taking this. No one else seems available to play at this point... I know everyone is busy, but at least updates stating that would be nice.
This is starting to feel like SuBI1 to me.
If you can play, claim it and go. Let's start this anew again. Only Alerum and myself played last round. I'm opening this back up unless I'm berated by the team. Maybe Alerum can squeeze in another round and sign us up for some more cash deals.

I'm free starting now... But I really don't feel up to dealing with this tough one... I'll see if I feel different tomorrow.

I've already started class gentleman... I'm out until at least late may, if not June. Good luck, but IMHO SpikeIt... Everyone else but you wimped out because the game was too hard.

You crack me up Alerum. But, I hope that's not the case. Its probably just a real long dry run with very busy schedules for all. I'm sure Sandrock is still game to play. Its unlike him to not really play in his limited time, which only leads me to think his job is coming down even harder on him. I'll sit on this for a bit and if no one plays, I'll take another set. And another. And another. I can hear the discussion now with my wife... "you have to play again? You didn't start another game, did you? I hate that game!" Heh.

I'd pretty much assume its all yours SK. You won't have much time for a bit while moving. Moving takes a lot of time. Good luck. So, when's the wedding date?

The wedding date isn't set in stone yet, as I have to finish my degree first, but it will most likely be in around 2 years time.
Simply put, when we know, you will know.

Pre - Turn thoughts: Wow, there are a lot of wars on.
Technology Situation:
England: up Democracy, Naviation, Physics and Military Tradition.
China: up Democracy, Naviation, Physics and Military Tradition.
Arabia: down Metallurgy and Economics.
Mongols: up Democracy, Naviation, Physics and Military Tradition.
Russia: up Democracy, Naviation, Physics and Military Tradition.
Spain: up Democracy, Naviation, Physics and Military Tradition.
Ottomans: down The Republic, Engineering and Theology.
Diplomatic Situation:
Peace with all (for now).
Military Situation:
Weak against all but Arabia and Ottomans.
Plan:
Well, I only see one problem with going for the Chinese saltpeter city, they have another scource at the other end of their empire, a couple
of squares south of nanking. We woud gain our own scource of saltpeter, but we wouldn't deprive it from the chinese. on the plus side, we would
definately be able to produce cavalry (once we have MT), and cannons.
My thoughts are these, if we get medina and survive, or even before if we can, we need to start producing cavalry, muskets and cannons and
go for the classic combined arms approach. Then upgrade to artillery and infantry when we get replaceable parts. (This would be the ideal method
anyway).
Will start by trying to improve our defences.
IBT:
Spice deal expires, renew it for world map, 10 gold and 23gpt.
Turn 1 1170 AD:
Bergen: Berserk -> Berserk.
Kufah: Musket -> Musket.
English start Newtons.
move some workers.
IBT: China and Mongols make peace.
Turn 2 1180 AD:
Upgrade one pike to musket near medina.
IBT: Watch as china starts to throw most of its old military units at the russian city, with little success.
Turn 3 1190 AD:
Rey: Musketman -> Musketman.
Batshireet: Walls -> Harbour.
Turn 4 1200 AD:
Trondheim: Berserk -> Musket.
IBT: England and russia make peace.
Turn 5 1210 AD:
Najran: worker -> Barracks
Bergen: Berserk -> Musket.
I have a feeling we have suffered a rep hit somewhere, as we can't trade gpt with anyone
Turn 6 1220 AD:
Arabia is officially down to one city.
Upgrade another pike, then transferred a musket into the small coastal city with no defence (Alesund).
Turn 7 1230 AD:
Oslo: Market -> Musket.
Rey: Musket -> Musket.
Haried: Harbour -> Musket.
IBT: Spain and Mongols make peace.
Turn 8 1240 AD:
Mongols come to renew peace, they just want peace for peace and i say ok.
IBT: Uliastay flips back to the mongols.
Turn 9 1250 AD:
Trondheim: Musket -> Musket.
Turn 10 1255 AD:
move a few units around.
Summary:
This is tough, I think we can pull back, we just need to keep upgrading our defences, then goon an artillery build and then use combined arms to push
the AI back, either that or we need to play catch up and shoot for space.
Good luck next player.

2 Years! Yup, you have quite a bit of time before you need to worry about wedding dates.
Nice job on the turns. I presume you built our forces up a bit. The AI is a bit farther ahead in tech than you indicated though. I know at least the Russian have rifles already from my set... I think the benefit of grabbing the local saltpeter is not so much to deny China, but so we don't need to trade horses for it. We are going to need those horses.
I'd love to see Blas play a set now. I don't think he's played this since he picked the initial war against the OCC Arabs.

Yeah, I just concentrated on building up our defences a little, didn't want to interfere with the banks or markets though.
Edit: I understand about the saltpeter, i just misunderstood when i first looked at the game thats all.

Good solid building turns SK. SpikeIt may want Blas to take it, but I don't think we could survive a war quiet yet.

Errr... This is gonna sound a bit strange, but those exams I just had kinda obliterated my free will... All the incessant studying made me incapable of wanting to do anything for longer than half an hour (if I'm lucky to last that long.)
Once I see I can really lose track of time while playing civ (meaning I won't be iritated and guilty every second of it) I'll play a set.
Sorry for what sounds like a lame excuse, but I need to get over this problem before I post a got it. =X
