FTS-02 The Immortal One

[sooooo]

OCC is a rather fun way to play .

Yeah it is. Definitely less time consuming, and makes you think very differently. I'm curious as to what level an OCC is achievable without building any world wonders. It would be pretty tough I'd imagine.

Sorry guys, but I can't seem to find the time to play my turn set, so I'll have to ask for a skip. That sucks since this'll be the last round probably.

Got it. I should play tomorrow night. If it looks like there's only going to be 3 turns or less in the next turnset, I'll probably just close it out.

I played 15 turns to bring it home.

We popped a great engineer so I built the UN while things were winding down and finished the Internet the turn we launched.

We could have finished about 4 turns sooner if there was a way to cancel Saladin's build orders for team projects - but then we would have missed two wonders.

Here's a save prior to the last turn:

Good game all. I really wasn't thinking we could pull this off. I kind of assumed that someone would come along and swat us and then once we got the PA with Saladin it was pretty much game over.

Well done everyone!

Great job on the win guys! I enjoyed lurking here, but I didn't think you would pull off an OCC on Immortal

Great game!

I was amazed at how well we were doing keeping tech parity with the AI. To a certain extent, the map helped us out. The RNG gave us an arid, high sea level map which limited the amount of good land for the AI expansion. However, I think the key to this game was when sooooo started World War I by getting everybody to gang up on Alexander.

Excellent game everyone! I've always enjoyed OCC games and wasn't for sure about an Immortal OCC, but we did it!

That was Mike's idea, he deserves the credit for that. But yeah, that was the war which gave us the 40 turns of mutual struggle we needed for the Saladin PA.

My apologies. It's fixed now. I'm sorry for the misquote.

sorry i will stop talking in text language i will speak proper english

So that's what that was. I was totally confused and had to look at it for a while to figure it out. I realize this game is over with, but I would prefer english rather than text language.
