Congrats to ChrTh! How did you know baby is happy though?

Vra ... how many turns you played? 12? What abt personal objective?

I think it is a bad idea to switch religions just to please someone ... it cost anarchy to be switching back and forth, and this would generally cause share-religion bonus points to be reset ... so it actually does us no good except maybe to avoid the "refuse to convert religion" penalty. And remember, this is random personality.

The peace is needed I think. We need a shrine to increase income. But be prepared for the war to restart ... Khan would most probably re-declared 15~20 turns later.

Congrats to ChrTh! How did you know baby is happy though?

I ask him "Gabe, say something if you are unhappy" ... no reply.
I ask him "Gabe, if Lost is better than Heroes, say something" ... no reply.
I ask him "Gabe, say something if I shouldn't buy Civilization Chronicles" ... well, you see where this is going.

EDIT:

[*]ChrTh == no time for Civ with a happy newborn

Actually, I have plenty of time now, the kid's hanging in the nursery of the hospital while I'm home posting getting some needed sleep.

 

[vra379971]

I had to kill all of one unit for my pesonal objective

 

[GreyFox]

@ChrTh: Please ask him: "Gabe, say something if Star Wars really pwn Trek".

@vra: lucky dude ... Hope your arm recover soon.

I was about to post the same after reading vra's report. The RNGod doesn't need anarchy unless he directs it.

We need a shrine to increase income.

I fired all the scientists in Beijing during my turns and employed a priest, so we may strike it lucky.

And well done ChrTh on the happy baby

 

[ruff_hi]

Ruff == UP for 15 turns on a train ride

Can no do as currently in Bermuda, then parents dropping in for weekend, then off to Korea. I'm sure I will get some civ time in there but ... totally unknown when.

[berserks01]

Congrats ChrTh on a not unhappy baby

 

[GreyFox]

Ok ... just don't get abducted by aliens ...

[berserks01]

Hey, you just switched on us Fox. What kind of RNGod are you channelling?

Post #384 has Rex before me and the previous post has me before Rex. Anyway, I won't be able to play til tomorrow so if Rex feels lucky enough, he's free to grab it before me.

 

[GreyFox]

I switched because, by RNGod, I suddenly recall the BMW incident which is why you swapped with Rex last round

Ok, Berserks or Rex, whoever can play first, play. ChrTh is welcome to join the grab-the-save-race since now that you have permission from the Almighty Gabe to purchase Civ Chronicles ... er ... but Warlords is not included in Civ Chronicles ... too bad ... I won't mind seeing chloe though ...

 

[ChrTh]

Thanks everybody!

@ChrTh: Please ask him: "Gabe, say something if Star Wars really pwn Trek".

I asked him, and he didn't say anything, but he did spit up all over his blanket, so I'm not really sure how to interpret his reply.

 

[pholkhero]

spit up is ALWAYS a yes ~

 

[Rex Tyrannus]

Congrats on the birth of GabTh, first of his name. When my son was born, the OB told me he made a deal with all of his sons: "You don't piss on me, I won't piss on you." I took that for sage advice.

Anyway, I'm up in ROTQM, so I won't grab this for a day at least.

 

[vra379971]

As for why I switched.

We have virtually no military, and he's score and power leader, and we have a massive border with him.

If he attacked now, we'd be dead. The brothers of faith doesn't reset if switched, and, the +1 comes in useful.

I still think it would have been better to start re-building the military, which we have to do anyway. The +1 probably makes no difference if he is going to declare (unless it got us to pleased, which is unlikely).

What happened to our military? We must have had 20 odd units die if we've now got none.

 

[vra379971]

Notes my comments...

We are now at pleased with Capac, and we lost alot at the siege of Beshbalik.

See, I'm not crazy!

 

[GreyFox]

spit up is ALWAYS a yes ~

So if, hypothetically-speaking, you asked me to spare you a quarter or a dime, and I spit at your face, you take it as a yes?

Of-course spitting is a definitive NO.
