GGF1: Incas

[Gogf]

Yes, he is. I was "away" for a while. Hakon, yours works, and mine doesn't, but I'm not sure why. They seem to have the same URL... So, cizzlewalk, on to you (I'll fix the first post now).

 

[Håkon]

I know what you did wrong - the letters "sav" in the url have to be in capitals. That's how exact urls have to be...

 

[Gogf]

Oh, didn't know that. Thanks. To add to the mystery, it worked fine in lower case letters when I posted the first save...

 

[Håkon]

Here's a hint for all of you - when you upload the file you get this huge text documents with links to all the files in the folder. Right click on the SG save file, then click on properties, and the full URL will be visible in a new window.

 

[Gogf]

I actually didn't know about that list, as I don't automatically get it when I'm done. I found it though, and it should be very helpful.

 

[AntiTwelve]

got it.

let me see what I can do to fix our little situation.

 

[Gogf]

Um... Any progress?

 

[Håkon]

Patience is a virtue, gogf

 

[Gogf]

Yes, you are right. I won't make any comment in this thread until either someone else does, or in four hours.

 

[AntiTwelve]

God I hate this... TOO MANY IMAGES AGAIN!!?!?!?!?! I had 1!
i just spent 30 minutes writing this up...sob...

 

[AntiTwelve]

*before turn*
nice looking army, nice...
realized we have NO culture though, big problem in culture flip back to owners later on
NO UNITS IN CAPITAL OR TIWANAKU?! DOODS! WE are losing precious shields for this, I'll take care of that soon enough
I got tired of waiting to see if archers were a good call or not, so I traded Spain Mapmaking for Iron working, mathematics, and 15 gold

look what I found...

give me some time to compose myself before i go on

 

[AntiTwelve]

Turn 1...
*cuzco spear--spear
started sending our archers over, declared war on spain
:soldier:
:soldier:
placed 2 regular archers in tiwan for happiness, GL2 due in 7 instead of 9
WTH? Granaries...HERE?!
sold ALL them, their maintenance was killing us plus needed cash
Literature in 14 at -3gpt

ibt... Persia builds Pyramids

Turn 2...
vet archer kills 2/2 warrior, but loses 3 hp
other vet archer attacks spear in Salamance, kills it only loses 1 hp
iron due in 3 turns, thank god

ibt... Mayans build Oracle

turn 3...
*ollantaytanbo catapult--catapult (prebuild for swordsman)
3/4 archer attackers warrior--kills it but loses 2 hp

turn 4...
put units over wounded, shold hold off the enemy

turn 5...
*MP barracks--sword
PWN! We have iron connected,BUILD SWORDS NOW!
Tiwanaku revolts :/
mining of tiwanaku's iron mt. begins
drop off 4 more units onto Spaniard Isle

turn 6...
*cori catapult--catapult (USE THESE!)
vet archer kills last Salamance 3/3 spear, destroys salamanca!
switch cuzco's sword to settler, whip it in 1 for next turn (need gold)

I'm being yelled at right now...brb...

 

[AntiTwelve]

ibt... lost last currage to water

turn 7...
*cuzco settler--sword

ibt... NOW IM MAD! VIKINGS BUILD GREAT LIGHTHOUSE
:slay: :slay: :slay: we could have had that if we kept our units in our city!

turn 8...
*MP sword--sword
*ollan sword--sword
switch tiwan from GL2 to VERY EXPENSIVE barracks
cata hits a wandering warrior
omfg... 4/4 archer dies trying to kill 2/3 warrior on a mountain
another 4/4 archer kills warrior, and promotes? (keep this one alive)
I accidentally (i'm serious) move galley east, and find green borders!

ibt... Byzantines build Mausoleum of Mausollos

Turn 9...
*Tiwan barracks--galley
find Persia, they have mysticism and HBR, won't trade for ANYTHING

turn 10...
*Cuzco sword--sword
*MP spear (oops)--sword, disband the spear

WOOT HUAMANGE FOUNDED...it seems my rushed settler paid off, we now have +6 to gold [dance]

*post-turn thoughts*
first swords are reaching Spaniard Isle, it's up to next player if they wish to use the SoD near Madrid.
From now on, ONLY BUILD SWORDS, GALLEYS (only about 2 more), AND CULTURE!
there is little to no chance of getting great library if vikings are THAT advanced, we should just conquer spain and worry about getting a forbidden palace there quick

it seems our archer army was a primature tactic, but ruthless nonetheless
remember..take their cities and keep them, don't feel like founding more cities over there is a waste, because it's not

Good Luck

 

[AntiTwelve]

For the Lurkers and Players...here is the situation...

and here is what our infrastructure looks like

 

[AntiTwelve]

one more thing, get a temple in tiwanaku, it NEEDS those extra shields

 

[Håkon]

I see little need for galleys as soon as we got three going across the Pizarro Strait (my name for strait across to Spanish), four at a stretch. We're not gonna produce swordsmen that quickly, and we've already got one exploring galley. Shame about the GL, but with that many civs, only to be expected

 

[Håkon]

Oh, and I also got the save. Will play within 2 hours.

 

[AntiTwelve]

@Hakon, I thought it was Mitsho's turn? looking at the first post on the thread it says he is next
P.S. i just played this game on a previous save (the turn before mine) and I completed the GL AND GL2, so it was possible, just a few errors were made before hand

@Mitsho, where ever you are Mitsho, plz say you got the game

 

[Håkon]

Yep. It's mitsho's turn. Sorry for jumping the gun...I'm being a bit impatient here...

 

[gunnerxtr]

i must say this game has been very entertaining to follow, possibly becasue it has been played so quickly. that has given me an idea of a SG where you attempt to finish in a week or so
