im assuming we have met other civs on other continents? we should build some scuicide gallys and maybe gain a foothold on the other continents... if the grid allows that right?

Notes

Our Continent is Secure for a long long time.

I think we should just go whack Someone. Japan might be ideal for this.

We can Ship chain from a point on our Landmass. I have put a Galley there

we need to either Disband the Swords or Mass Upgrade them.

We need a good Galley Network.

We have fallen drastically behind in tech.

We've got a scout snooping around on the new world and we've got the coastline mapped out.

Way back in Post #156 I did some basic gridding across the oceans.

 

[CommandoBob]

I will be out of town until next Monday, so please skip me if my turns come up.

 

[Tad Empire_0_o]

we should give techs to persia and see if we could get a free first technology out of them... im not sure which techs we have

 

[Rodent]

Read the Turn-log Carefully Tad, Persia has been eliminated.

[Rodent]

And I would like to inform you guys that I am taking break from Civfanatics from 14th August till 19th September, Because I have Exams.

Sorry to Desert you guys, but RL comes first.

lurker's comment: Anyone still there?

 

[CommandoBob]

Sorry, I've been busy.

Roster:
MooseWarrior - just played
Othniel - long term skip
Rodent - long term skip
eldar (de-militarized; lurking)
Tad_Empire_O_o - UP!
CommandoBob - on deck

 

[CommandoBob]

Tad hasn't been at the forum since August 2.

I think that means that I'm UP!

But I'll post before I start playing in case Tad returns.

 

[Rodent]

Good luck playing a 2-man game, 1 of which is unreliable

 

[eldar]

I may be back in action soon! Watch this space...

 

[Hynsterider]

Are you willing to accept another player, Eldar? Btw; read my signature!

 

[eldar]

Sure, the roster is looking a bit thin on the ground right now! How does an account get "lost"?!

 

[Hynsterider]

My computer broke down. I had my password backed up on a piece of paper, but probably left that in the library when I logged in there. Somehow I'm not receiving the password reset emails that are being sent to me.

Just put me anywhere in the roster you like. I'll need to read this thread first more thoroughly to see what plans you have with this game.
Situation right now seems interesting. You're not that far behind in tech, to be fair. It's just that the unit support in Republic seems to be killing research right now, but that'll get better once your empire is a bit better developed. You seem to be going for Conquest, but as I said: I'll need to study this thread better before I start shouting things.

 

[choxorn]

lurker's comment: You were here for a year and you still need a piece of paper to remember your password?

 

[CommandoBob]

I'll need to read this thread first more thoroughly to see what plans you have with this game.

High points:

Domination victory, build no culture buildings (we have no choice on the palace, but besides that edifice, nada!) and a strict CxxC city building pattern, even across the oceans.

So far we have subdued all our landmass, I think (I need to open the save to be sure ). Persia was done in on the last turn set; that leaves Carthage and Iroquois to kill. We've got a lot of jungle and marsh to clear out. We haven't planned on how get across the oceans and who will be our next victim. There is a post with our CxxC pattern extended across the waters. Except for scouting out the land we haven't done any planning for an invasion.


Regarding passwords, consider this two links to TechRepublic:
Help users create complex passwords that are easy to remember
Helping users remember their passwords

EDIT:
The city name scheme is unique, also!

 

[CommandoBob]

The Charming Mrs. CommandoBob is out for a large chunk of the day, taking a quilt over to Dallas to enter it in the State Fair quilt competition and to do some quilt/crafting shopping with a friend.

Notepad is open, MapStat is running, the game is loaded and it is time to rock n roll.



Or, to paraphrase Joan Jett:

I love eldar eight
So play another set with the Yankees, CB!
I love eldar eight
So come and take some time and civ with me!

For those for whom this may not ring a bell:
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.
