GozGram 1 - Hammurabi and The Code of Laws (100k)

[grahamiam]

Preflight check: Sell iron to Byz for 53gpt. Sell WM around for some candy money (20g)
Core city production is really lacking, thus the lack of military right now.

IBT:

T1: 1060AD

T2: 1070AD MA Completed in Babylon

T3: 1080AD

T4: 1090AD

T5: 1100AD Germans building Hoover’s

T6: 1110AD Build embassy’s in Byz, Sumerian, and Scandanavia. Surprised this wasn’t done sooner.

IBT: Germans are building SETI

T7: 1120AD

T8: 1130AD

IBT: Well this is it. Germany has sent the mother-of-all SoD’s our way

Think we can hold them off? I count 43 Panzers in that stack 2T S of Babylon, + Cav’s. Mechs, infantry, LB’s and other assorted junk make up the SoD to the South

For giggles, I con everyone else into an MPP, spending almost all our gold to get the American’s in on it.

T9: 1140AD Shore up what I can but this is going to end very quickly as we don’t even have enough troops to effectively stop the SoD from taking the capitol.

IBT: Germans start nailing our coffin and everyone elses as the MPP’s kick in.
Lose Smolensk, New Ellipi, Tell Wilaya, Gozpelabad, Nineveh, Shuruppak, Ellipi, Larsa, Nina, Eridu, Samarra, New Akkad, Zariqum, Hareid, Nimrud, Alesund, Sippar, New Ninevah, Bugsylon, Hindana, Ashur, Akkad.
Lose the Horse Army to Bombers.

In there shock, the people add to the East Wing of the Palace

T10: 1150AD Our army is down to 16 workers, 1 warrior, 2 pikes, 2 muskets, 2 cannon, and 4 bowman

I think I just let this one finish itself off

 

[grahamiam]

IBT: Down to 3 cities and 0 units in our military

T12: 1170AD Think they’ll be able to take the town?

IBT:

We are remembered as Hammurabi the Fair

Can't say we didn't try good go everyone, see you in another SG real soon

 

[gozpel]

Here I come back and are ready to play again.

Ah well, burn them Code of Laws.

 

[microbe]

Damn, I launched Conquests and got ready to play, before I read everything! [and this Conquest thing takes a long time to launch, and freezes IE for a long time]

So, bowmen vs panzers huh?

Not a surprise. We had too many empty towns. But could we have signed MPP with Germany?

We would lose anyways.

OK, anyone interested in Mic5? Let's have some fun deity games.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

well that was an interesting game.

 

[grs]

Oops, we got again.

 

[6thGenTexan]

I though it was three stikes and you are out. Personally I'm ready to let this dog lie.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

I've been beat up enough this month. That's the third loss.

 

[microbe]

Deity is too hard for a culture game.

 

[grs]

At least if we even restrict our research and triggering a GA too soon. My plate is quite full, too. Maybe we retry in some weeks!?

 

[microbe]

On a lower level maybe? The 2nd try actually had a pretty good start - what was the last time that you owned 5 native lux?

Maybe try demigod?

 

[grs]

why not ...

 

[microbe]

Or we just dump this one and try another 100K culture game I have had in mind for a while: culture expansion. The basic idea is that you can found a city only when you reach certain culture values. For example, 50 cpt per city before 1000BC. Gozpel signed up for it but I never got a chance to start. The level is emperor though. The goal is 100K culture or conquest.

 

[gozpel]

I've been waiting for the culture expansion game, I rather get to that before I try this concept again

No hurry to start it though.

 

[microbe]

The problem of culture expansion game is how to find a reasonable value for the cp. I am lazy to play test so that's why I delayed it. Anyway I have to finish one of Mic4 or Mic5 before I start that game. I also plan to start another AWM after Mic4.

 

[grs]

This sounds like 2 games I'd like to sign up for, once they start - especially the AW one.
