International
We are at peace with everyone.
Egypt and Hittites are at war. We have ROP with Hittites.

The ROP deal ends in three turns. Furs may disappear then, too. If they do, Hittites lose their Coal.


Resources
Our next strategic resources is Uranium, which will be revelaed next turn.

Plans
Learn as quickly as possible.
Keep pollution cleaned up.
Watch Egypt and Hittites fight.

Space Race, 1425 AD

Spoiler :




Six parts down, four to go and two of them are being built now.

Amiens completes Life Support System this IBT; 001 Paris finishes the Thrusters in three turns from now.

We learn Nuclear Power in 3. We cannot build any of the C3C Mike Hussey with it, but it does let us learn about Lasers (Party Lounge, 160 shields) and Robotcs (Statis Chamber, 320 shields).

Nuclear Power and The Laser are both 9600 beaker techs; Robotics is 10971. We bring in 2381 beakers per turn at 90%; we could flip taxmen/hard hats to geeks to learn Robotics in 4 at 90% (need about 2800 bpt).

Big tickets items being built:

Manhattan Project in Game City, 7 turns.
Palace in Lahore, 16 turns.

Random Stuff

Very little to do these turns, which is rather nice. And shocking. I mean, as soon as all the city builds completed, and when no units were built, I got the message 'ENTER or SPACEBAR for next turn'. Haven't seen that since 3800 BC!

Cycling through the cities to play with hardhats and taxmen took longer than playing the turn. Which says a lot about those who played before me.

United Nations was built in Game City, France in 1405 AD.

Hittites have tried several times to capture Pithom. Each time they have failed.

Egyptian forces are strung out across France as Egypt moves to attack the Hittites. Egypt has behaved herself, but I've placed Modern Armor in the cities along their route. Their lead force of 8 Cavalry are 1NW of I Love Rocky Road, heading for North Netherlands and the ROP they have with the Dutch.

Four more Cavalry are 1SW of the capital and a loner 1SW of Narjan. Two Rifle and two Guerilla are between Tours and Basra and a straggler is west of Basra.

We had one polluted tile this last turn.

Nice set CommandoBob

Interestingly during my set Pithom fell to the Hittites but it was recaptured (or flipped).

My experience was the Eygyptians will leave if requested.

Launch date is edging closer (11) turns think, and Equatore is up next, I think he should play all 11 turns posting a pre launch save for those who want to launch.

On a side point we must be getting close in culture to the Eygyptians by now.

IBT: After some completed buildings, our space ship, fast and beatiful, was completed. LAUNCH!

Thanks for excellent game, team. It was difficult, but well played. Maybe too aggresive, but on high levels victory without war is almost impossible. Do you imagine that kind of victory without moving our borders?
Sorry for delays, but personal life intervened. Hope to play something in future.
 
Considering the initial conditions, this was a great achievement, I think. :thumbsup:

Thanks everybody. I think after my holiday I would be up to something new...

Looks like we could have been the newest 4th place!
 
Great acheivment by the team.

Dnt forget with the HOF games at least the top 2 would be set up with all science civs and great starting positions, possibly SGL fishing etc.

So excellent all round, I would be up for a Deity Spaceship but not till mid september.
 
lurker's comment: Great job all!!! Excellent results but y'all worked hard to make it happen!
 
Maybe there should be an SG hall of fame... Congrats all, very well done!
