Get those turns done, lazy sluggard ! :whipped:

(read: Please Mr. Fox, dearest of SG players, could you get these turns done & report ?

)

Imhotep

Edit: Just realized you are well within the 48 hrs frame. Damn time zones, around here it's the 7th already :lol:

GreyFox · Dec 6, 2007

Well, if you are so impatient, go ahead and skip me. I won't play before tonight (well, I am currently on Vancouver time, so its gonna be 5 hrs later).

GreyFox · Dec 7, 2007

Turns played (only 5, sorry). It seems like the previous player is building up to go attack other Civ. IMHO, it is not needed. Instead I would suggest moving the current stacks on boats to the north where Shez can be found.

Anyway, we got the pentagon and I razed one Yaqob and one Pacal city.

We can build an army very quickly up north when needed (after we have many bombers). May as well have the army we have do something useful until then.

berserks01 · Dec 7, 2007

Got it for later today, or possibly tomorrow morning.

berserks01 · Dec 8, 2007

Quick tour of our cities leading to a couple of whips.

Razed Gondor losing a cannon at 87% :sad:

Physics came in and I went for Flight for bombers

Next turn I razed Addis Ababa suiciding 2 cannons and losing a Cuirassier at 97% :eek:

Talk about bad luck

Auto-razed Izancanac. No casualties.

Found Zara's last city (hopefully).

Good news, the super soldier is within range of our air ships ... we can start gathering a stack big enough to take him out.

Zara threw all his pults at our stack doing not much damage at all, and the very next turn we took out his last city

And finally Zara is no more. R.I.P.

This is my got it. Expect a report tomorrow at the latest.

Ozbenno · Dec 8, 2007

Excellent, that should help with the WW back home. Now to get our navy to ferry all those troops over the Mersey.

·Imhotep· · Dec 9, 2007

Seeing that we're somewhat short on players and the game is drawing to the end I played 20. There was a lot of action

:

Battle Stats:
Units victorious while attacking : 52
Units victorious while defending : 12
Units defeated while attacking : 16
Units defeated while defending : 8

That makes 64 kills at a loss of 24. Most of those were Cannons though, so we don't have lost that much units.

I don't think we need to rely on a time victory - I believe we're still in for a Conquest Victory. We have superior units, and with Bombers coming soon it will be an easy mop-up. The AI can hardly withstand our troops even now.

Pacal wanted to resettle the spot he lost. Mh, no...

This earned us a GG I settled in our Capital.

I ferried our Army over to our last two enemis and took the fight to them.

We discovered Flight and are therefore modern...

An event...

Seeing that troop costs are the major factor in this game I switched Civics. We don't need Bureaucracy anyway.

Pacal is stubborn...

Sitting Bull gets some warfare to taste too...

I capture another city and keep it as Air Base (both for Air units as for airlifting).

Actually this screenie is wrong. I didn't burn the city but kept it as Airbae for Pacal's lands. I already have some Fighters in those two cities for fending of the Airships.

Our army is driving into the core of both. I don't thibnk they'll stand this much longer as we're more powerful than Pacal and Sitting Bull combined :eek:

. I have a bigger army going north towards Shez. It will join with the Army assembled there, hopefully we can get this done. Maybe we need to upgrade the Airships to bring him down to half. Then drop all the Cannons and all the Units...

On another note we have a GE at Edirne. We should use it on Cristo Redentor I think...

Spoiler The Log :

Ozbenno · Dec 9, 2007

OK got it. Will have it played tonight.

Ozbenno · Dec 9, 2007

We soldier on.

Machine guns are tough nuts to crack. Two cannons and a cavalry die here.

I land a small force near the beast.

We now have 5 :mad:

from Emancipation unhapiness. I know GreyFox will whip me but I up the culture slider as we have 5-6 unhappy faces in every city.

Culture bomb our foreign city.

I also use the GE for Broadway.

Obviously you can't air attack once a unit has lost a certain amount of strength as he attacked twice IBT and is down to 13.6 strength and I can't air attack.

No unit will give me more than <0.1% so I don't know if I can even scratch him down. Actually first attack takes him down to 11.2. I'm now up to 0.3% chance of success :lol:

. Next 4 units die without making a mark :mad:

but slowly he gets more and more injured. I finally defeat the beast but no fair maiden to rescue. :confused:

I was hoping for a free worker at least. :lol:

Keep razing enemy lands.

Another GG. Military Academy in Edirne.

Sitting Bull has infantry. :cry:

We pop another GE.

And more pain for the AI.

I keep Uxmal (missed screenshot) so we can put more planes and drop more troops in the front line. I've been using paratroopers to drop outside the city as the planes bombard to 0%.

We now have 85 turns left. We have completed our first task but can we conquer the opposition?

The beast conquerers are back to move to whatever front is deemed necessary.

I started trying to up the happiness so we can lower the culture slider but that air drop feature just got too tempting at various stages so wasn't so successful.

Great work, Ozzy ! We have accomplished the quest of Shez (I don't really know what is happening with those barb Great Persons. I've edited Shez in thrice, and every time she disappeared after some time. Well, no biggie. We've done it !) and therefore the game is on hold until I put up a new save - which will be tonight.

I noticed earlier in the set that she was now a Great Artist and I was pretty sure that in an earlier screenshot she was a Great Merchant. She was there the turn before but honestly didn't check the turn I slayed the beast. Maybe they bulb the Great Person for a tech.

GreyFox · Dec 10, 2007

If you looked at the screenshot in 1988AD, there are clearly two units on the forge. So, chances are Shez is still there when Ozzy attacked. However, since you can't capture a GPerson, the GPerson is destroyed when her Guardian died.

Who's up?

I thought a captured Great Person became a worker (like a settler does). :confused:

·Imhotep· · Dec 10, 2007

Is tycoonist still AWOL ? If not, then he's up. If yes, then you are up again. PLEASE WAIT UNTIL I'VE POSTED A NEW SAVE IN ANY CASE !

No, it's just destroyed. There should have been a message though.

And the son cast his gaze to the sky, as there was lightning in the distance, and from afar he heard the voice of thunder on the rizing breeze. And lo! he again heard the voice speaking out of the stormy clouds as on the beginning of his days. "We have heard that by the valour and blood of your people the Quest of Sheherezade was fulfilled. Do you repent then ?" And the son of the Sultan answered: "Yes, I repent of the deeds of my father. In token of this I shall endure the same fate that all the people have suffered through his insolence." And he took his Sword and slew himself. And it seemed that even the Lords of the World in heaven would mourn for such a sacrifice, and the great Gates of heaven opened, and the tears of it washed all the defiled lands with oblivion...

The game can now go on from this save below. Tycoonist is UP, if he can't play, the GreyFox is up.

GreyFox · Dec 10, 2007

Cool! So the northern desert becomes the bountiful great plains!
