GAM-1 Med/Lar Mon/Emp Pangaea Cultural Victory

[soul_warrior]

yes. with 61% we should definitely stop taking land.

next up just keep them running.

try and fill new land with more towns.

who up?

 

[glenmetz]

Good Work sir, if we could take anything else from them, I would say the city with the 3 Dyes near it. Nothing wrong with some more luxs.

Ansar-You're up

lurker's comment: 61%!!!! Be Careful! If you get to 66, domination! You're probably going to have to abandon some of those far-out cities to keep under dom limit. On the Bright side, there's only 31 turns until 1560, so you don't have to hold out long!

 

[D'Artagnan59]

lurker's comment: I suggest you raze all cities without useful wonders in them.

The useful ones will be kept. Don't build A SINGLE POINT of culture in the captured cities that have them.

I'm sorry I have not posted an update on this. My HDTV was delivered on Friday, and needless to say I've been sitting in front of it with drowl dripping out of my mouth for the past couple of days.

I get out of work at 4PM EST today, will play it when I get home tonight. I should have a post up by 7 or 8 tonight.

 

[soul_warrior]

We are 70 tiles from the limit and have Settlers headed towards former Sumerian lands. Once the last land city falls, sue for peace.

And I'm handing this over. Here is the Sumerian front:


And here is the Save

Hey,

Dude!! How did the war start? Who is involved? Hitties, yes. Is that a celtic rifleman in the 1st picture?

 

[Ansar]

Hey,

Dude!! How did the war start? Who is involved? Hitties, yes. Is that a celtic rifleman in the 1st picture?

It seems there is a war between several civs?

 

[Blaze Injun]

It seems there is a war between several civs?

Yes it seems so. Hitties and us against Sumeria?
Damn it!! I didn't get to write a pre-invasion Sumerian Campaign Post.

[glenmetz]

The war started during Nerovats turnset. I think we declared on Sumeria, and got the Celts, Hittites, and Greeks to go with us.

 

[choxorn]

lurker's comment: 22 turns left until culture victory... 70 tiles to domination limit... This is going to be interesting.

 

[glenmetz]

I agree with you Choxorn. This could get very close. If we have any Settler builds going right now, we should most likely change them. I think we presently have 4 Settlers moving towards Sumerian territory.

 

[soul_warrior]

dump those settlers WITHIN OUR BORDERS.

****

i have an idea for a 2nd try at this:

we go for a 100K win.
on 'pelgo,
while at Always War....
and not playing a SCI or REL civ....
that should up the scales a bit.

 

[Blaze Injun]

Hey,

Soul your turn right?
