EM6- The Curse is Broken!

[TedJackson]

Hey mad-bax,

It is a mark of the pre-literature mind to precede but with a comma.

Your spelling could do with some work too.

We're in enough trouble without you adding any extra penalties. Give me a break mate


regards

I vote to revolt back to Monarchy as well. Since America has been modified to a religious civ, it won't be too bad.

Thanks for that small hint Zwingli

I cannot believe I missed that little fact from the get-go. I had a nagging feeling something wasn't right but I couldn't put my finger on it

So, apologies all round. I'll pay attention in class from now on.

Ted

Ghengis Khan,

Are you getting anywhere on the turns? If not, I'll pick up the save sometime tomorrow.

 

[Gengis Khan]

Yea I'm here Zwingli, I was just hoping the tie would be broken....... Will post tommorow.

 

[TedJackson]

Sorry if I wasn't clear,

I changed my vote in favour of revolt


regards

Ted

 

[Erik Mesoy]

Bumpo. Should I grab it?

 

[Zwingli]

Since the game has been idle for awhile and I am next in the turn order, I'll take the save.

Got it.

1050 AD (0) Our offensive military is down to 5 knights and 1 swordsman? If Egypt sneak attacks it will be quite a scramble for troops, but at least the turns won't take much time.

I revolt to back to Monarchy in accordance with the rules.

(1) Although we had 0g and -164gpt for 1 turn we did not lose any buildings due to bankrupcy? The bad news is we now make 1gpt with 0g in the treasury even with luxury tax lowered to 0% .

(2) We found Denver on the southern island.

(3) Washington completes a bank, and starts a University as a prebuild for Wallstreet. More banks complete and we are up to 30gpt income.

(4) Not much

1100 AD (5) Some deals end and our income jumps to 75gpt.

(6) Not much

(7) New York is set to build some pikemen to bolster the defenses. Zimbabwe builds Smith's Trading Co.

(8) Egyptian troops are tresspassing.

(9) A fifth bank completes and Washington is set to build Wallstreet due in 13 turns. India builds Shakespere's theater

1150 AD (10) Renew Dyes deal with Egypt for 19gpt. Sell insence to India for 15gpt. Saltpetre is hooked up, and we upgrade some pikemen to muskets on the Egyptian border.


The Monarchy has been rightfully restored. The throne awaits the new successor.

 

[Gengis Khan]

Thanks zwingli & sorry for the inconvience guys. I've been REAALLY busy this week at work with no time to even log on. But now I'm back in full swing.

Promise it won't happen again

 

[TedJackson]

I'm going to be busy this w/e so rather than hold up the game skip me this round.

Ted

 

[Erik Mesoy]

I believe that puts me up. I've downloaded the game, but with Warlords 4 just here, it may take some time.

 

[Erik Mesoy]

Argh. Playing. Game crash on turn 3.
Then on 7. Then on 4 cos I forgot autosaves. Realized they were all when zooming to capital. Then saves refused to load because ICON_Bldg_Palace.bix was missing. Now /Civ3 Directory is a locked file and I cannot reinstall Civ3.
:rant: ${)Q#(%/!! Computer!!


Whaddya say we turn this into an open game?

 

[TedJackson]

Sorry to hear about your computer probs Erik,

I'm still interested in playing and I hope Zwingli & Gengis Khan are still on board. However that's only 3 players and we really need 2 or 3 more to avoid bogging down again, less if you get sorted soon.

As to making it an open game... why not. I'd rather that than see it go down the tubes.


regards

Ted

 

[Gengis Khan]

I'm definatly still here. As for making it an open game......... I'd rather not, I'd still rather have 3/4 people involved then make it open and not know who's gonna play.

Just my 2 cents. I'll go along with the majority though.

 

[Zwingli]

I'm still on board as long as the game keeps turning over.

Here is the roster as it currently stands:

Erik Mesoy (Computer Problems)
Genghis Khan <- Up Now
Zwingli <- On Deck
TedJackson

 

[Gengis Khan]

Thanks for updating the roster Zwingli, I didn't realize it was on me.

Got it!

Pre-Turn: Not looking good, not enough military, 81gpt, and everyone is at least 4 techs ahead of us. This is gonna take some careful work here. Personally I think our best chance to catch up is stack some money for mass upgrades/hurry units, take a couple Egyptian cities & sue for peace. I’m gonna start moving towards this goal(but won’t attack until I get some feedback).

IT- Zulu offer us Free Artistry for 11 gold. HA!! A dead end tech with the wonder already built(I think) even for pennies. Sorry! We wish him good luck with his war against Cleo though.
Egypt completes Newton’s in Heliopolis.

T1(1160)- Whew! Shakespeare’s was already built. Other then that

IT- Aztecs want to trade WMs, I make him throw in 1 gpt.
Toka wants our incense & he’s willing to pay 10gpt, 55g, WM, & Free Artistry(look its blue & pretty )
NY: Pike->Knight
Houston: Bank->Cannon
Miami: Bank->Knight
Denver: War->Worker

T2(1170)-

IT- Seattle: Bank->Musket

T3(1180)- Wall street due in 9 by that time we’ll have well over the 1000g.

IT- Boston: Library->Uni
Buffalo: Cathedral->Bank

T4(1190)- Transporting a worker down to the colonies to help develop the land.

IT- Atl: Uni->Knight
SF: Granary(huh??)->Explorers

T5(1200)- Investigate their cheapest city for 40g. They have 1 Saltpepper, 4 Iron, & 1 Horses. Saltpepper is near Abydos(our border) & easily pillagable, iron is beyond us(they have 1 source on the colonies), Horses are next to Heliopolis 3 cities(about 12 tiles) up…….. its possible but will take some work.

IT- Houston: Cannon->Cannon

T6(1210)-

IT- SF: Explorer->Explo

T7(1220)- Rush a harbor in NO for the low, low price of 112g.

IT- Egypt is moving ALL their troops from their lower cities to their mainland. Cool, make it easier to take the bottom ones
NY: Knight->Knight
Chicago: Bank->Library
Miami: Knight->Musket
Detroit: Work->Walls
NO: Harbor->walls

T8(1230)- Cleo & Zulu still at war, apparently they need more soldiers for that front.

IT- Atl: Knight->Knight
Seatle: Musket->Musket
SF: Explorer->Explorer

T9(1240)- Still nothing much.

IT- Lose our supply of silks. I renegotiate for 16gpt, 3g & WM(from 15gpt).
Houston: Cannon->Cannon
Denver revolts. Oh well, give them a clown.

T10(1250)-

We now have a “slightly” larger attack force, although its still small compared to Egypt. Wall street due in 2 & we have 1120g and are netting 172gpt. Our deal with Cleo expires in 10 turns.

Good luck Zwingli!

 

[Gengis Khan]

And the SAVE!
