This game is moving rather rapidly = more fun for all.

Time to Open some Borders!?

 

[bathsheba666]

Not entirely clear on the point of opening borders with someone who kills scouts.

Not prepared to open borders until scout is replaced.

 

[Hercules90]

Ticking over. But keep meeting quite aggressive barbs. Don't they know who I am.

Have y'all cheked your (&/or our) leaders' "Traits"?

My 3 leaders' predict DOOM in this team game!
Out of a total of 6 possible Traits we could each get, i got 2 duplicates; a nearly useless one: Imperialistic & a so-so Spiritual. Leaving only 2 more...
an OK Protective & a useless Expansive.

Guess who got the best combined-team leader "DNA"?

Imperiatlistic isn´t that bad if you know how to leverage it, ditto for Spiritual and how you could possibly think Expansive is worse than Protective is beyond me.

 

[Hercules90]

I just started to notice how very few copper resources are available where I am. And I spotted a barb spearman in the neighbourhood.

Archery here I come.

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

Mali has one of the best and most reliable UUs out there, so you never were in any real danger anyway.

Moving along nicely gents!

[Hercules90]

interesting yes also annoying yes

DominEarthion springs to mind. Turns in that game take well over two hours due to each player controlling 5-6 civs in the Modern era.

interesting yes also annoying yes

Annoying? How so?

Btw do we have any restrictions on resource and gold trading between our civs?

 

[kenwyn]

"Btw do we have any restrictions on resource and gold trading between our civs? "

Not within team.

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

And without?

 

[kenwyn]

I see no prob with that, that's the norm... unless U R settings us up for some exploit.

Techs are restricted among teams but obviously shared within.

Shesh you really are paranoid, do you know that?

Nicely done scout U have there, ZHR.
Hope he uses that woods speed to stay in the woods & forests to his E & SE.
We've better avenues/routes for trade. PM or email to discuss.

Speaking of forests, I´m watching your Byzantine Woodsman II Warrior like a hawk. There´ll be no workerstealing on my watch.

On another note:

Well well would you look at that, what is such a lightly defended city doing so far from your capital, Hercules? And, oh what a coincidence, a yet unpromoted Holkan with 5 XP (thank you barb animals!) is right next to it. I could promote him to Woodsman 2 and capture the city next turn with decent odds, or promote him to City Raider 2 and capture it with excellent odds the turn after that. I could also just walk away as if nothing happened. Hmmm choices choices. Let´s make a list!

• Pros:
• I set my closest neighbor and thus my greatest competitor a huge step behind.
• Djenne is next to a source of Horses, of which there are very few in my vicinity.
• I get more breathing room to expand.

• Cons:
• The city will be autorazed due to its size.
• This act would destroy any chance of peaceful cooperation with a neighbor who has two great early UUs.
• I will be viewed as ruthless warmonger.

As you can see I´m on the fence about what to do with the situation. Thoughts anyone?

If nobody has to say anything to it I´m just gonna toss a coin to decide whether or not to destroy the city next turn.

Now that would be a rather dumb move.

Like i'm going to start a war with a potential trading source all the way on the other side of the continent just to steal a worker that would take 12-15 escorted turns just to get to work.

I may look stupid, but i ain't so dumb.

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

A barb warrior popped up in the one tile that was uncovered in the one turn I moved the fogbuster to guard a Worker.

Anyway since I didn´t hear anything from anyone and was too lazy to toss a coin I decided to just go for it.

Don´t take it personal Herc, but once you get Skirmishers in all your border cities you´re practically invincible until the Medieval Age and so I figured I´d better weaken you now lest I get cut off by your expansion.
