HN02-B The Jihadist Power of Religion

[Cosmichail]

Yep on the fogbusters... playing a game (emperor VQ08-Washington Mission Control) and we were unindated by barbs in the first two turnsets. We got thru it and have fogbusters everywhere to keep them away. That is a disadvantage of isolated start barbs will come on strong.

Roster and we are playing 20 turns this turnset

Cosmichail-->Salah al-Din-->The Righteousness of the Faith
Adamlan-->Just played (switched with Frankcor)
Codeman-->UP==Sayf al-Din-->The sword of the faith-->We want to be Judaist
Xtream Rockstar-->on deck==Death Knight-->He is known as the Holy Avenger
Frankcor-->Abdul Haqq, Servant of Truth

Now Xtream Rockstar you can find an Arabic Name or just stay with Death Knight and be our Holy Avenger.

Adamlan needs an Arabic name to describe his part in this holy quest of "The Arabian Knights"

 

[Cosmichail]

Frankcor,

I notice your Sig has changed no more Abdul Haqq. Are you no longer going by that? Just wondering......

 

[Codeman]

would have played if i had a save.

 

[Cosmichail]

Yeah I just notice that now too Codeman. He is checking in later with the Inquisitors so I will post there to remind him to upload the save here.

Pretty hard to say "got it" when there's nothing to get.

 

[Codeman]

yep. i think we've all done it at least one time. after all the typing and playing you just want to get back to the game.

 

[Codeman]

i guess i'll get it when it's posted. will play tomorrow.

 

[adamlan]

sorry guys i totally forgot here it iz

 

[Cosmichail]

Hey Adamlan you aren't the first one so don't sweat it. I don't know how many times I was at the end and was ready to leave realizing hadn't put the save in. After all that typing/pictures uploading blah blah it seems like something easy to forget.

 

[frankcor]

Frankcor,

I notice your Sig has changed no more Abdul Haqq. Are you no longer going by that? Just wondering......

Nah, nothing as sinister as that . I just forgot to add it. It's not part of my signature, I try to remember to sign that way when I'm posting in the Jihadist/Pacifist threads.

Abdul Haqq, The Servant of the Truth

 

[Codeman]

I hope this finds you in good health and spirits.

I, Sayf al-Din, or The sword of the faith, begin my seat as regent of our great fledging nation by reviewing the lands of our kingdom, and those in close proximity. Upon this review I see we have only one single warrior in our great city of Mecca. The city of Mecca is combining all efforts to assemble a group of settlers to found a new settlement for our people. I have heard rumors of great hords of lawless, bloodthirsty heathens roaming the lands with the sole purpose of killing. No mercy, no greater cause, only the driving desire to destory all they encounter. I feel before this noble band of settlers can embark upon thier journey to found a new settlement for our people, we must, yes must, assemble more troops and better troops to escourt them. To ignore this warning I fear will result in the loss of the men and women of this great assembling. Possibly resulting in the utter destruction of our great nation. I also feel our scribes may fail in discovering the the great secrets of one true god. Many have uttered wisperings in corners and shadows, however I do not feel our scribes, as great and wise as they are, will find this to be true. Our questions and wonderings will not be answered for some great while. I will bid you adue now as I prepare my account of the years under my reign.

Be well.

have played and posting report now...

 

[Codeman]

1. worker mine hill w. of mecca
concerned about only having 1 warrior to defend mecca and raging barbs and level.
- switch settler to warrior
- switch 1 floodplain to hill for extra hammers on warrior.

2 & 3.

4. agriculture>masonry (doubt we will win race to monotheism, but gotta try)

5. Judaism founded in distant land.

6.

7. Fogbuster warrior beats barb warrior
mine complete>farm floodplain NW of mecca

8. mecca warrior>back to settler
fortify warrior in mecca
switch citizens to get settler quicker

9. barb attacked mecca and lost

10.Tonybee claims we are the third wealthiest in the world.

11 & 12.

13. warrior on forested hill beats a barb warrior

14. masonry>archery (we need to defend our selves)
warrior on forested hill beats a barb warrior
warrior in mecca beats barb warrior (let barb approach to take advantage of the +20% defense bonus in mecca because we can't afford to lose)

15. promote warrior with strength as others avail will not help archers are coming!(archers )

16. barb archer kills one of the warriors in mecca glad we have 2!

17. switch from settler to warrior in mecca to replace lost warrior
switch citizen from floodplain to stone for nore hammers and quicker warrior (barbs coming, but they won't they will not take Sayf al-Din! my weapon is ready!
warrior in mecca beats wounded archer
worker finished farm>quarry stone

18. lone wounded in mecca destroys attacking barb warrior(told you Sayf al-Din would prevail. combat promotion and city defense bonus may have helped )

19. barb archer 3 turns from attacking and second warrior complete in 2 turns

20. warrior done in 1 turn and settler production will resume and finish in 10
archer will attack in 2 turns
switch citizen from quary back to floodplain (warrior still done in 1) for growth/settler

okay. well whatever you do, don't get less than 2 warriors defending as the barbs are coming steadily. we can keep switcing back and forth like i did and still get the units while we get the settler. once it is finished we can focus on some units and get that second city down with 2 escorts i think. we should discuss the placement.

here's a quick look at the barb situation

Ok I am a little worried about our defenses and we need to get that archery and start building at least two archers for defense and another two to accompany settler. Not only will archers show up but after that for sure barb axes will arrive. Once we build the archers take the warriors and start fogbusting in the direction they are coming from. That will slow it down somewhat.

Death Knight Xtream Rockstar you are up......

 

[Xtream_Rockstar]

this is the pick up but i will start tomarrow its tolate for me

 

[omurtag]

Oops I posted in the wrong thread, sorry!
(don't tell anyone)

However, how is it going, having fun with the barbs?

 

[Cosmichail]

From what I can gather it's started for both of us the barbies. Attack of the killer barbies..

i am a little worried as well. but with archery in 5 turns and able to get a unit pretty quick, we shouldd be okay. with all the switching we never lost any production on the settler. at the end of DK set we should have at least 1 archer, maybe 2. i think it may be a good idea to get BW next. qany thoughts?

 

[Cosmichail]

Agree the BW is probably the best for slavery/chopping and we should at all costs pop/forest try to get Stonehenge or Oracle for GP to get theology/Christianity. That will give us the necessary religion. Although DR isn't always what the AI rushes to. Since we are philosophical the GP points will be double.

okay well my sister is going to play neopets and i just got up so illl post the report at 12:00
