Fox-02 -- Praying to the RNG God

[Rex Tyrannus]

Fox, I finished up Fox 3 over an hour ago.

Edit: Knucklehead! I figured it's your SG, you probably subscribed to it. You want me to PM you anytime I post, now?

 

[GreyFox]

Ya, I saw that ...

 

[Rex Tyrannus]

So what the hell are you lurking here for? Go read my Fox3 report and tell me what a y set it was!

 

[n0xie]

Well I'm dead tired atm, so I most likely won't be playing tonight. I'm grabbing a movie and some munchies, and go to bed early. Work has been hectic the last week. If anyone cares for a swap, feel free to do so, else I'll play tomorrow.

(although fiddling about with cossacks IS my fav pastetime...)

 

[Rex Tyrannus]

Paul, I hope you don't mind, but I posted your Galleon screenie in the Funny Screen Shots thread off the General Forum. I gave you (and this SG) full credit.

 

[omni_paul]

no problem. It did tickle me to see our transport ship on a one square lake

'Land Ho!'
'Bearing?'
'Er... Everywhere!'

 

[Rex Tyrannus]

'Land Ho!'
'Bearing?'
'Er... Everywhere!'

Nice. I actually laughed out loud on that. My wife asked me what was so funny and I told her. She sort of shrugged and looked at me as if she's reevaluating her decision to marry me.

 

[omni_paul]

How long have you been married rex? I find it bizzarre how we keep getting snippets of each others' lives but know so little about each other.

 

[Rex Tyrannus]

Married 7 years.
Son age 5 (six in August). I don't know what month that is in Australia.
Daughter about to turn 1.
6 foot 4 inches tall. (193 cm)
275 ish lbs weight. (125 ish Kg)
Tighty whities and boxers depending on how close it is to laundry day.
31 years old.
Favorite position: 4

Anything else you'd like to know?

 

[omni_paul]

Ha... I guess I asked for it huh.

Married 7 years @ 31... that's er... married at 24! Wow, scary stuff. I'm 29 in August and yet to be tied down. Pray that it remains so

 

[Rex Tyrannus]

Kid at 25 scared me a hell of a lot more. I volunteered for marriage.

 

[GreyFox]

Jeez, what has fox-02 becomes, a pen-pal information exchange thread!?

@n0xie: no problem, go take your rest. I am starting to feel the pull of weight from SGs myself, so its nice to slow down for one day.

Just so that next player need not go back to the previous page:

[n0xie]

Pregame assessment.

We're at war and we got Cossacks
We're generally unhappy because of this and we don't have emancipation, police state or free speech. I'm tempted to revolt immediatly but there is probably a reason why we go by these civics so I'll leave them alone.

Since rex likes his ships so much:

Since we're at war with 2 of the 3 AI's I decided to become friends with nappy. He's generally pleased with us except that we declared war on his friends (-2). To prove that I'm a much better friend than the rest I decide to bribe him to declare war on his other friends which he gladly accepts


And thus I press enter.

I move around our troops and divide them into 3 stacks. One will sweep over Isabella and give her some passionate lesbian spank inferno on her last 3 cities to the East, the other small stack will take Birmingham since that will connect Hun with the rest of our New Empire and the other stack will wait in Hun to join the main army to take Warwick, and then the rest of Vicky.

A bunch of stuff gets build on the old mainland. That doesn't really matter much. I start some Missionaries for our RNG God to spread to the new land. we'll convert those heathens yet.


We raze obviously.


It seems like we're in the lead


Nappy joins the fun.

We also take Birmingham but I lost the screenie of that. Sorry my autologger was acting up again so no detailed report and due to time constraints only 5 turns. I'll gift the next 5 to Greyfox. Troops are under way to take Warwich, and the 2nd front is about to annihilate Isabella. I let the French join the war so the AI will empty it's reserves and throw them at Vicky. That will make him weaker later on, thus easier for our Cossacks

We have way too many cannons. Cossacks alone can be effective enough, with or without 80% city defense. Taking Vicky will be slow since we'll have to wait for the cannons to move.

Imho we should change civics, set science slider to 0 and just upgrade our army. We have clearly won this game anyway, might as well end it fast...

 

[GreyFox]

Hmm .. I should install an addedum that players are not allowed to play half-turnsets ... ... hmm ... does that means I am suppose to play 15?

Okay, I se we have nappy in the war with a very cheap price.

From what I can tell, the war is going on well ... All we need to do is to sweep south. I may sneaks a few galleons worth of army to the south of Vicky's land and do a two-pronged attack.

Concur on changing civics and reducing science to 0 -- that depends on RNGod's next assignment ... for the first time, I hope it is not "learn a new tech" but to "capture 3 cities"

[Rex Tyrannus]

Fox, you've got 20. I only played 5, too.

Regarding cities, maybe we should keep a few and begin spreading out over a bit of the total landmass?

Vicky's got a southern island, too, with about 3 weak cities. Just thought I'd remind everyone.

And man, Nappy can be bought cheap, huh?

 

[GreyFox]

Then I will play 10 as well, treat it as you and n0xie sharing one turnset. But how did it end up with a 1866 as year number is beyond me.

--

 

[Rex Tyrannus]

The patch probably screwed with our year numbers. Maybe just take it to a round number, Fox?

Edit:

Incidentally, five turns in industrial era wartime is a good bit of effort. I, for one, have no qualms with players only taking 5 this late in an SG. Especially when one of those players is me .

Edit 2: Head scratching. My save ended at 1840. Paul's at 1860. n0xie's at 1866. n0Xie, did you play 3 or 6?

 

[Dantski]

I would definitely prefer if we only had to play 5 turns this late on the game.

Otherwise I'll have to go back to the pen and paper routine of writing reports.

 

[GreyFox]

Alrighty, change of rule: each player who is up can play 5 to 10 turnsets to his discretion.

n0xie ... you are still barred from resting inside the temple for playing only 3 turns

-

 

[GreyFox]

Hmm .. our task is to spread religion and I see just 3 missionaries being built ... okay ... I am feeling lucky tonight.

While missionaries are being hoarded to the ships ... (fortunately, we do have some ships that are not trapped in the one tile sea), since we are feeling all merciful tonight, let's put Isa out of her misery, shall we?

Turn 303 (1866 AD)

Cossack defeats (5.76/18): Spanish Longbowman
Cossack defeats (2.70/18): Spanish Longbowman

Judaism has spread: Santiago (Spanish Empire)
Confucianism has spread: Santiago (Spanish Empire)
Judaism has spread: Santiago
Confucianism has spread: Santiago

Turn 306 (1872 AD)

Finally, the missionaries landed ...

Buddhism has spread: Madrid

That is #1.

Buddhism has spread: Barcelona

And that is #2.


Turn 307 (1874 AD)

and here is #3. Mission completes. I am indeed lucky tonight.
