Emperor SG?

[TheOverseer714]

I have the save, just was off computer all day. I will play tomorrow, i hope, nothing planned or expected on sunday for me.

lurker's comment: Curious, how did the Greeks declare? Did you refuse a demand?

I'm tempted to join, it looks like a fun start for Emperor. What kind of variant or goals does this game have?

 

[madviking]

Its non-oscillating war; you have to be at war with one AI at all times.

As for goals...not really. Win any way you can, but conquest or domination seem to be the easiest.

 

[Daeron]

Oke, sounds like fun. I've never played that variant before, but sign me up if you will.

 

[madviking]

No problem, Daeron!

Roster:

lurker's comment: Go ahead and put me on the roster, I will be free after Friday.

I lost my turn-log, but the gist is we survived three warrior attacks with no losses, a hoplite pillaged a BG and they left, and we settled a 2nd town on the blue dot north, which has a fish tile and a spice forest. I left 2 newly produced units unmoved, as well as the worker. I suggest some exploring, we need trades to help us beat the Greeks. Here is the save, have at it!

 

[madviking]

The helplessly close-minded Ottomans desperately need to contact others civilizations! Calis, since you're up next, you should send a warrior or two to see what's in the mighty jungle to the north of us. However, this is one of the continental starts, and if we're stuck with Alex on our island, we may have to pick ourselves by the bootstraps when the time comes.

Roster:
- madviking
- TheOverseer - just played
- Calis - UP!

We are not alone with the Greeks. I have a question before I continue:

Now that we met the Indians, would it be ok to make peace with the Greeks and immediately declare on the Indians. Or do we have to eliminate the Greeks, before we can declare on anybody else? I am asking because it would open up some trade possibilities, if we switch our enemy from Greece to India.

I would, in the spirit of the variant, remain at war with Greece.

 

[TheOverseer714]

NOW means that each target civ must be eliminated, so we can't make peace with the Greeks. Once they are gone, then India will be the target to be eliminated, then the next we meet, and so on. The goal is Conquest, all enemies must die. We can make deals with everyone on the target list, as long as they aren't the current target.

turn log:

Spoiler :

pre-flight:

send one warrior north, two southward.
change Istanbul and Edrine to workers. We just have one so far.

IBT:

hoplite disappears to the south

2510 BC (turn 1):

nothing to report

IBT:

Istanbul: worker --> settler

2470 BC (turn 2):

nothing to report

IBT:

Edrine: worker --> warrior

2430 BC (turn 3):

exploring and improving our lands.

IBT:

nothing

2390 BC (turn 4):

exploring and improving our lands

IBT:

nothing

2350 BC (turn 5):

Our northern warrior found dyes:

IBT:

We meet India!!

2310 BC (turn 6):

I trade for their Pottery:

Then I switch Istanbul to granary immediately

IBT:

nothing

2270 BC (turn 7):

nothing special

IBT:

We meet Russia (although I am not sure where)

2230 BC (turn 8):

switch Edrine to spear, as several Greek units aproach our territory.

I buy warrior code from Russia:

and switch Edrine to archer!

IBT:

nothing

2190 BC (turn 9):

nothing special...

IBT:

Edrine: archer --> settler (alternatively it could be changed to a barracks)

2150 BC (turn 10):

archer sent towards Istanbul

We need one or two more towns soon, or unit upkeep will increase. Therefore I propose a settler in Edrine. But a barracks also would make sense to get veterans archers.

Here is an overview:

[madviking]

Daeron you're up!

 

[Daeron]

Oke I have the save. I think a settler from Edrine is fine, it has a lot of food. I think settling 2W 1NW from Istanbul on the middle spices is the best spot.

I'm glad we're industrious with all that swamp and jungle right at our start.

lurker's comment: Looks like this one's going to be an exciting one! Good luck, team!

 

[GamezRule]

Sorry, my apologies, but I must drop out.

You will see why in a couple days.

EDIT: I would love to play, but I wouldn't have the time.

 

[TheOverseer714]

Summer internship? A job, perhaps? (Thinking positive)

 

[madviking]

If you got an internship I must shoot you... I know a bunch of my friends who had/are getting internships, but I didn't get one...

 

[GamezRule]

I got a Job.

EDIT: Plus Sparthage and I forgot about a little something we were working on...
