eldar05: Gone But Not Forgotten

[dl123654]

If this is a diety game than any of those maps are good depending on how close/far the AI is. For a sid game 1, 3 or 5 would be my choices again depending on the proximity of the AI.

BTW if we don't take 1 can I have the seed for a OCC game I was think of playing.

 

[eldar]

Seeds can be extracted with SeedBeast if necessary, I have the saves. Deity will be the level; Sid would take up too much time. I've had too many drinks to even play a 17-city QSC start at Regent that I left open when I went out; so I think I'll leave this 'til tomorrow. I'll play 20 from #5, if it looks okay I'll open up the seeds/world settings for the rest.

 

[eldar]

@ MM, nero - welcome on board. Definitely Deity.

 

[soul_warrior]

can i order some guest turns then
seems it filled up.
well, a full plate with the dreaded Mark 4 arriving in 3 weeks.
ill manage

 

[eldar]

I may let you have a go

Though... this game might not last very long, given the first 20 I've just played !

0 4000 Found Babylon on the spot, worker to the S cow. We have grassland wheat in the 21 as well, plus 2 BGs and a forest. Start a Warrior. Research Pottery @ max.

2 3900 IT: A barbarian appears! Means someone is close and has popped a hut.

3 3850 IT: Viking archer appears.

4 3800 BW+CB swapped for WC+10g.

IT: Warrior complete - will fortify. Start a second warrior.

5 3750 IT: Mayan warrior appears.

6 3700 Get Masonry+Pottery+10g for all our spare techs. Back to Ragnar and pick up Alpha from him for Masonry+Pottery.

IT: Mayan borders appear already.

7 3650 Start Writing @ max.

IT: Warrior->Settler.

9 3550 IT: Darker blue borders to the NW. We are seriously hemmed in here. This could be a Deity OCC by default….

15 3250 IT: Settler->Warrior.

16 3200 Contact with Korea, buy Wheel+10g for Masonry+Pottery.

17 3150 Contact with Celts. Sell Wheel for 35g.

18 3100 IT: Warrior->Settler.

19 3050 Found Nineveh.

20 3000 It's crowded! Squeeze in a couple more cities then focus on military. We're going to have to fight our way out, and probably sooner rather than later.

Picture - the 'hood:

[soul_warrior]

i would plop next town on those dyes.
DARN, its crowded....

 

[nerovats]

I'd put it on the hill SE of the deys, and another one 3NE from Babylon, if we get the time.

 

[Tubby Rower]

I won't be able to get to it until tomorrow at least. If someone wants to switch, that's fine. I'll just end up mining food bonuses

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Pretty damn crowded yes, have you considered trying 20 with the other starts? I think I'll have a shot for the kicks before it's over.

 

[nerovats]

Who is gonna play? Tubby Rower or dl123456?

 

[eldar]

I was kinda hoping someone would pick up and play. However would you rather I:
- Try one of the other starts rolled;
- Re-roll more starts, with 70% water this time round to give us more room?

 

[Tubby Rower]

I just haven't had the time to focus on it. I should be able to play tonight. I'm a little leary about those foreigners near our undefended city after what happened in TR05.

 

[eldar]

Oh, they're just passing through. Usual de facto Deity RoP. Our warrior is en route to play guardian.

 

[Tubby Rower]

So was that Ottoman warrior until we had to come back and kill a little Asman tail.

 

[nerovats]

This is going very sloowww

 

[soul_warrior]

This is going very sloowww

i agree.
eldar, why dont you start us off on a save and be done with it?

 

[Tubby Rower]

he already did I thought.. I could play right away and requested someone swap with me.... No one did.

I might be able to play tonight. Somehow I doubt that I'll survive though.

 

[dl123654]

I agree this game is stalling. I haven't taken it yet because Tubby keeps posting he going to play but doesn't. So Tubby if you want a switch I can play, if not, play it and I'll pick it up whenever just don't keep saying you are going to play and delaying it further.
