HNDY16 Open SG - Byz Always War Sid Tiny Island Map

[handy900]

MM is the right tech for us. So far so good. Keep building cities. Don't worry to much about land units. If we get dromons before they get to us the game is in excellent shape.

Need to be thininking about where to start the Glib. We can just capture the lighthouse.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

Gator - Nice touch naming vessels after the players. Very cool.

 

[DJMGator13]

Thanks Bugs.

Besides it helps with the turn logs. If we have a big enough fleet everybody who plays could have their own ship.

Play the game win a ship

We probably will have a big enough fleet. I just hope my ship does no get sunk.

I just hope my ship does no get sunk.

That is why you are Handy900, if you lose 900 dromons you really will be sunk...

I came back to grab the game figuring this was well on its way, and only Gator has played since I did. What's up with that folks?

Go ahead Bugs - It's been a busy week for me and no let up this weekend with family in town.

 

[DJMGator13]

I think Sid is keeping some people away and I'm sure SGOTM07 has distracted some.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

This will be the Bugs and Gator Open SG.

I'll grab it tomorrow and turn it around quickly so it can sit for a long time.

 

[Northern Pike]

I'm sure SGOTM07 has distracted some.

Yes. I hope to play a couple of rounds in this one, but I haven't had the opportunity yet.

 

[handy900]

I GOT IT. Post by tonight.


I like the new avatar Gater.

Capital grows so slider goes up.

Notes
Settler due in one. The spot N N NE of the capital looks good. The city will be able to work 6 land tiles for the Glib including a BG and 2 forest tiles.
A worker is mining the BG north of the capital where we need to start a pre build.
Workers spear to be the best build for Adrianople. We have a lot of jungle to clear.
Handy can go north to block the Russians from their safe passage.
Rat is blocking the Arabs.
MM in 26.
Drop the lux when the settler pops.
Once we get MM we can stop the AI from expanding and get all of those islands for ourselves.

Lots of pictures to follow. Lurkers feel free to comment.

BC 1750. Forgive the typos

Red dots are to block Russia and Aztecs.
Rat is blocking the Arabs

The Arabs also have a way to reach us from the South that we will need to block with Dromons.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

I have it.

A GL pre-build city plus some canals coming up.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

Early – settler=>curragh=>curragh
Found Caesarea and start the pre-build.

Middle – Adrianople: Worker=>worker
Constantinople: curragh=>settler
Set up a block to the south for the Arabs.
Abu wants us to give him writing for peace. HA!!

Late – spot a Russian galley crossing the straits. Change Conny to a spear.
Russians build the Lighthouse.

The yellow arrows shows the Russian’s track. You can block for a while with the three curraghs. Might want to build a few defenders at home.
