Igor1, team one thread

That's a fine mess you've got us in Ollie. ;)
I got it. Likely tomorrow.
 
It wasn't me, it was the other guy started it.

That's what they all say. :)
I'm sorry for doing this again but I won't be able to play to play till Friday. Summertime and all.
Do you want to let someone else slip in and I will follow?
 
lurker's comment: OFF TOPIC:: Bede, I was playing Rhye's world map (first game in a looong time) and I was 5th in The Venerable Bede's List of the most powerful nations Did Rhye include you in this or is it refering to your namesake?

Well, I imagine that would be me doing the "slipping". Not sure if I can grab it tonight or not, if so, I'll post a got it before I start playing.

It's a default author. I verified this when I tried translating all of civ's text files into Latin. :lol: (Baeda Venerabilis)
 
I got it again.
 
@TR: I borrowed the moniker when I joined my first SG with Sir Bugsy and GengisK. The first of many AW XCC games played with Bugsy et al.
 
Hi everyone.
Sesn I will post the save and log as soon as I can. The internet was being upgraded or something last night and still didn't work this morning. My little love bug said she would post it for me. When would you be playing?
 
If you can get the save posted before about 3PM EST then I could probably get to it today.

Otherwise, we get into the wekend, and I couldn't hazard to guess at which point in time I would actually post, though I would find some time for it somewhere.. ;)
 
:sad: I am out of commission till Tuesday 6/28. What's up with that? :confused:
I will also be gone from 7/1-7/4.
 
Does that mean it goes to me now, or do you have a save to post? Either way, I can't touch this till tomorrow now.
 
Since Sesn won't be able to play I'm going to try it through hotspot.
Has anyone used hotspot like at Starbuck's? If it works I can send it.
 
OK here it is after all....

Turn 0 Turn lux to 0% and keep science at 0% and put a scientist in Copenheadache. Move an archer from Not Torre (took me a minute to figure this out. Swift huh?) to Pete’s.

IT Our spear gets whacked by a sword, bombard hits 2nd sword and our archer knocks him off. Reg. Archer/sword appear. Another reg archer appears near Forest City.
130 BC Take out redlined sword with V archer and it reveals a reg spear at Oil Springs. Then we take the 2nd sword with V archer. Hurry a spear at Not Torre for 40g. Send a spear to Forest City to cover archer. With all the movement lux to 10% and scientist Joe goes in Not Torre. Tax guy in Copen.

IT Reg archer walks into an arrow and doesn’t even dent our archer. Paris settler – rax, Rhymes galley—archer, Not Torre spear – worker Romans start Sun Tzu and Egypt finishes G Lighthouse.
110 BC Spear and 5 archers are at Oil Springs doorstep. Lux to 20% sci to 10%. No one wants to deal feud or engine.

IT That stray archer heads towards our stack. Silly wabbit trix are for kids.
90 BC V Archer whacks 1st spear, 2nd loses to spear and 3rd takes out Oil Springs. Stupid city placement as it’s not on coast or a river and what the heck raze it anyhow for 4 new slaves. Settler was on the way anyhow.

IT Odinspally archer – archer, Dyeville spear – archer, Copen spear – worker
70 BC Whompet’s Gardens is established with ivory in our borders and it starts walls. Hiawatha is willing to give peace a chance for 80g. Nah.

IT Sword nears our 2 archers that were dropped near Copen. Avignon rax – worker,
50 BC Lose an archer attacking a sword and realize this will be long and drawn out to get to Casablah…. This time he’s more generous. We bank 156g his whole kitty. In the meantime, it seems time to explore our Chinese neighbor. Establish an embassy for 35g. Huh, Mao is at war with the Roman, Persians and Egyptians.
In the meantime I notice Mauch Chunk is now Roman. Establish another embassy in Slamanaca for 33g and it reveals this.

And it also reveals an interesting diplomacy picture. I think we’d like horses.

IT Not Torre worker –archer
30 BC move and mm

IT Egypt and Iroquois smoke the pipe. Rhymes archer – archer
10 BC move and mm

IT Caesar needs some cash. Give him 28g. Odin archer – archer, Avignon worker – archer, Copen worker – harbor
10 AD and a child…ok sorry zzz

IT Persia smokes the pipe with Hiawatha.
30 AD Move towards the Chinese capital.

IT China and Japan make peace. Japanese? Hmm.. Then Mao asks for tribute. No Way Mao Tse. He backs off. Dang. Dyeville archer – archer, Cattlecanal rax – archer, Chinese start Sun Tzu. Little late.
50 AD All ready to roll.

SUMMARY
There are two new slaves waiting to be picked off near Tsing Tao.
I sent a galley around the northern horn so you can pick up and drop off at Tsing Tao.
The Chinese have 2 things we want. Furs and horses(no riders yet). It might give us access to the Japanese as well. There’s a chop due next that should give you a war settler in a couple There are a couple with engine and not feud and vice a versa. No one will trade. They seem to believe they have a monopoly on engine and feud because no amount of gold will get anyone to budge. At least in 30 AD.

I will try post the pictures tonight. It was a little too much to try and explain to my girlfriend how to do that.
 
I see it, and this can be my "got it", but I won't be able to touch it before tomorrow sometime. Pool party to go to and all that. :D
 
I'll be dead from tomorrow, June 26 to July 18, with no internet/civ access, so I'm an automatic skip, nyo.
 
IHT – Not much to do. Can’t declare on Mao until another turn or two because of the deal we have.

70 AD (1) – Declare on Mao. Snag the slaves, not much else.


90 AD (2) – Beijing has to wait another turn so we aren’t going across a river. BTW – don’t really see their horses.

110 AD (3) – The extra turn let Beijing grow to size 7. Apparently I was little better off going across the river. Moot point now though. Lose a total of four vet archers, killing 2 pikes and 2 spears. In the end, the city still burns. We get an extra 6 slaves out of it.

130 AD (4) – Fur City founded on the ruins of Beijing.

150 AD (5) – Whack a settler pair near Fur City. Then lose a vet archer to reg archer on grass. We can buy Eng for Dyes, 21gpt, and 343g. Seems a bit steep to me, but our window of opportunity is closing, so I do it. Unfortunately, I can’t get Alex to part with Feudalism for anything I offer.

170 AD (6) – Kill an archer in a skirmish.

190 AD (7) – Meet Japan. They have Republic, but no potential trades available. Lose two vet archers and promote a third razing Tsingtao.

IT – Lose a vet archer

210 AD (8) – Kill the offending archer with our new elite. I find it interesting to discover that we can’t sail around the north of the continent.

IT – Caesar and Hia kiss and make up.

230 AD (9) – Not much, except a couple Japanese archers appear near Fur City.

IT – Persia and Iro ally against England.

250 AD (10) – Toulouse founded at Tsingtao. See a possible ocean crossing, but it looks to be four tiles….

Recap – China will talk, but they won’t give Feud, so we’re still at war. I am reforming up our archers at Toulouse, and also have some headed for Nanking. I have a couple temples being built for border expansions, notably in French London, these could be switched to libraries, if we prefer. Lot of units in production, feel free to dial back on these if it seems excessive. Oh, and Mauch Chunk got razed somewhere along the line.

Quoth Igor:

Barbaric - We just can't build any culture at all, with the exception of small wonders. IIRC, captured GW's don't produce any culture, correct? Well, with the notable exception of ToA.

Kill the culture, whoever's next.

Nice bit of getting us out of the mess, gents.

Roster check:

Viper - quit twiddling, start playing
Tomoyo - out of order until 7/26
MadV - on deck
Bede - revolted but got attacked
Whomp - whomped some Indians
Sesn - played whack a Mao
