EXIV - Final Regent Challenge

[ChrTh]

Yeah, I have time for EXIII & IV...it looks like CT5 might be DOA (I hope not, but I'm only giving it 24 more hours), and ZF-1 is almost done.

Besides, I Joan!

 

[Exsanguination]

alright ChrTh, you're in. Just keep your feelings toward Joan personal

Sorry to say this now, but the game won't work. Its not saved in civ3 format. (The game won't see it because it isn't a Civ3 save). I could unzip it.

Let's see if we can sort out this file error business...

 

[Chieftess]

So this is still alive? Good, I thought it died last week.

 

[Exsanguination]

I can only play once curufinwe re-posts the savegame. It a "file"... why? did you change the extension?

 

[ChrTh]

Someone see if this works:

1 - WHY is Paris building a Temple? Forgive me if I am wrong in my reasoning, but lets add this up: Regent means 2 citizens born content. We have wines: 1 happy citizen. Up to 2 MP, thats at least FOUR citizens before disorder. At this stage, we're pumping out settlers, so Paris won't be getting that big anytime soon. Switch to spearmen.
- curufinwe: from now on, save the game at the END of your 10th turn, not after.
- barbs from goody hut
- worker stopped from roading to save from barb. That road is long enough for now...
- kill a barb
- another big BIG nono: we have HORSES in our borders. Why is that worker building a road to city site 4 or 5? Those horses should be online!
2 - 25g from barb encampment
- mmm... Babs have Mysticism. No gold though, so no trade. Let's wait for a worker.
- sci slider moved back to 80%, writing in 25 running even
3 - Lyons founded. Worker or Warrior? Warrior - lets prepare for an early war with the Babs.
- barb encampment sighted
- shoot, looks like it's us and the babs on an island
- sci slider tp 100%, 2 turns less
4 - moved a warrior to wrong spot. Darn.
5 - 25g from barb encampment
6 - Paris builds spearmen, orders us Archer. May change if possible.
- horses roaded up
- Bab settler/warrior spotted
7 - I WANT THOSE GEMS
8 - unless a miracle happens we are alone
9 - ...
10 - Lyons builds warrior, starts settler
- Paris changed to spearmen. We'll lose a few turns here, maybe 3 or 4. Settler should come IMMEDIATELY following this spearmen.

- I think the babs are going for the spices to our north because they haven't settled city 3 yet.
- Get ready for WAR. We must take out the Babs early. Once we get about 5-6 cities, the island will be pretty tight, so we must get ready for all out war. Iron Working should be next: Horseman + Swordsman. Remebber, Babs have Bowmen. Destroy them early!

Culture I suppose... Without culture, our cities are prone to city flipping.

Nice to see this one isn't dead. I'll have a report up tonight.

Pre turn:

Change Paris to Granary, it NEEDS a granary
Change Lyons to worker, we need workers

1700 - Movement

1675 - More Movement

1650 - Settler finishes in Orleans, sent North to claim the spices and block babylonian expansion

1625 - Movement

1600 - Worker complete in Lyons, Warrior started

1575 - Movement

1550 - Writing finished (embassy established in Babylon)
Mysticism started (it was the cheapest)

Trade Pottery, Alphabet + 10 gold to Babylon for Iron Working

1525 - Barbarian camp eradicated

1500 - Movement

1475 - Rheims founded near spices & river in the jungle.

Suggestions:

Once Paris finishes the granary, it can start pumping out the settlers. I'm thinking we should finish blocking the north off with a settler by the other spices and river, we can then finish filling out our southern lands.

Note: There is a barbarian camp south of Orleans. The warrior is going down to bust it up.

yea, I thought that too, but held it off. I figured we might be okay without it. Oh well, good to know we have it now

Sign up!

 

[Curufinwe]

Due to an unfortunate turn of events I can not continue with SG's, therefore drop me

 

[Exsanguination]

why is everyone in my SGs going away??? NOOOO.

 

[Chieftess]

There's been a family emergency in my family too. I may have to skip this one, as I don't know if I'll have to leave in the middle of the game...
