GOTM 08 Pre-Game Discussion

[Memphus]

Alright well after a 3 month Absence due to getting married moving and a new job I will give this one a go. This weekend has been deemed Civ-Time

This is how I will start, based on a test game with similar startign conditions

Move W found city

Build Order
Warrior (while on the 3 hammer tile) to get a unit out on the chance there is someone on the island to worker steal.
Worker
Library
Warrior (happiness limit)
Workboat (interchangable with the warroir pending requirements)
Settler
Oracle for CS

Research
Animal Husbandry
Writing
Wheel
Bronze working
Fishing
Mysticism
Meditation
Preisthood
CoL

The first tile will be the gold (lots of research to do)
then the pigs
I will force scientists on and off to time production and research as well as an academy

Lets see how it goes

She lets you spend a whole weekend playing Civ?

 

[Thrallia]

dang, that's something my wife won't let me do...I generally get to play games for a little bit after getting off work, but weekends are usually for yard and house work.

BTW, welcome back and congrats on the marriage, I'm newly married myself(one year anniversary is in 9 days, and no ideas what to do for her when on a tight budget!)

Buy her Warlords

 

[Thrallia]

yeah...somehow I'm not sure that would fly

 

[Big Pig]

Might end up with plenty of time to play Civ at the weekends tho'

AAaagh! I have to work on a project until Jul 24! No time for GOTM until then... I'll have to rush through it in a matter of days! This'll be my second GOTM ever, and I think I'll adventure through it... Also, my wife, while she lets me play, is eight months pregnant and has a broken finger so I'll probably have to interrupt and help her a lot... Augh!

Hmm,
only about a week left and Warlords comes out in two days. I finally got moved to Omaha and set up the computers. I probably should be opening boxes, but think I'll try to knock this one out anyway.
