IO5 - Gotta Catch 'Em All!

[ParadigmShifter]

Events are on so we should only have switched just before we whip anything.
Writing nearly finished then I take it?

Wasn't looking too closely but at about 5 turns (that's a maximum, I saw it at 5 turns).

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Should be 3 turns (was 18 turns away when I handed over).

Who's up next?

I just hope when it comes round to me next we aren't at war against Asoka with 6 axes outside his capital on a hill defended by 4 archers and 2 chariots

 

[IdiotsOpposite]

Actually, considering that Brian is the farthest west... Here's our party.

Char. Limit (UP)
MatrixTheKitty (ON DECK)
NeilMeister (Closest to the Pokemon Time Zone (Japan))
ParadigmShifter (Asking about this roster)
BrianShanahan (Just played)

So I guess I'm up. I guess I got it.

Anything you want me to do, or I guess I'll just wing it.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Looks like complete writing, get OB with Asoka, scout him out, and chop or slave axes.

Well seeing as you asked I want a 400w power box, a ATI Raedon 4800 series graphics card, and the new Terry Pratchett release (it's my birthday in a month)

 

[ParadigmShifter]

A power box? Is that some kind of hi-tech sex aid?

 

[IdiotsOpposite]

I'm sorry to report that IdiotsOpposite will do this turnset tomorrow.

If you want to know why, just read Char. Limit's most recent post in Matrix1.

OK no probs, Brian took ages to have his go and he didn't even post a nice pic of Boudica's knockers.

 

[neilmeister]

...he didn't even post a nice pic of Boudica's knockers.

This is completely unnacceptable.
How could we miss such a good cleavage shot !!!!

BTW, 2 workers is excellent. We want to be producing an Axe every turn if possible. I would save several forests, at the very least, for Settlers.

The newest warrior on the bananas, with the available promotion could be our Medic. If somehow the Axes don't conquer Delhi first turn, then he could be essential.

Fine then here you are:

Pervert!

I don't think we'll get quite 1 per turn, but it won't be too far off.

 

[IdiotsOpposite]

Just to let you know, IO6 will be the first Civ5 IO SG. It will be on Noble, and there will be no variant.

I have a feeling it will be difficult enough...

I'm going to start it on the day I get the game... 9/21/10.

I will still run IO SGs that use Civ4, though. So be not afraid.

Hopefully I won't be the only SGer to use Civ5 on 9/21?

 

[MatrixTheKitty]

I probably won't get the game right away. Will probably depend on how I like the demo.

 

[Brian Shanahan]

Well I won't be getting the game either, my graphics card is too weak, and to get one that will I need a higher watt power-box. I'm too poor for that.

 

[IdiotsOpposite]

I stupidly chose to play on my busiest day of classes.

Playing now.

 

[IdiotsOpposite]

ALL RIGHT!! Here's the set. I did a nice job with war preps for 10 turns, if I do say so myself.

Note: I played 10 turns instead of 15 because I didn't know what we wanted to do with our techs.

Our song:

I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To trick them is my real test
To kill them is my cause...

I will expand across the land
Searching far and wide
Teach Civ AIs to understand
The power that is mine

Civ AIs!
Gotta kill 'em all
It's you and me
I know it's my destiny!
Civ AIs!
Oh, you're my one ally
In a world we must defy

Civ AIs!
Our hearts so true...
Our Macemen will pull us through!
You help me and I'll help you...

CIV
A
Is

Gotta kill them all, gotta kill them all...

CIV AIS!


OK, enough singing. You want a turnset, don't you?

Turn 1:

Pallet produces an Axeman and starts an Axeman. This will be a pattern in the upcoming turns.

Turn 2:

Pallet produces an Axeman and starts an Axeman.

Turn 3:

I doodle, and start designing the CIV AIs theme song.

Turn 4:

Something real happens!!

We get writing! Because I had no advice, I switch us to Pottery. After all, cottages will be important.

Turn 5:
Pallet: Axeman --> Axeman
Stonehenge is BIAFAL. Also, I decide to apply the whip I've been sitting on to our good old Pallet town.

By the way, I recommend not whipping it below size 2. That way, we still get our high production tiles, since any higher size just works food tiles.

Turn 6:
Pallet: Axeman --> Axeman

Turn 7:

Pewter finishes a work boat and starts a barracks. Why not, right?

Turn 8:

Pallet: Axeman --> Axeman

Turn 9:

Unfortunately, Onix (the warrior who was traveling towards Pewter at the beginning of my turnset) dies to a barb archer...

Also, after not seeing an axeman this turn, I apply the whip again.

Turn 10:

Pallet: Axeman --> Axeman.

Also, two forest chops came in now, so the next axeman will have HUGE overflow.

Well, that's all really...

I recommend producing axeman until we're about double Asoka's power, then attacking...

Also, I recommend Iron Working after Pottery.

Oh! The save!

YAY!!!

 

[Brian Shanahan]

We'll be all game then. Frankly if we get about 10 Axes together, then we should go. Did you whip anything? We're in slavery remember.

 

[IdiotsOpposite]

Twice.

We'll have ten axemen in about five turns if we work right. We'll probably also be double Asoka's power by then too. Our power, which was about 0.7 at the beginning of my turnset, got to about 1.4 by the end.

I was hoping for more comments on the song I made up... I spent a lot of effort (half a class in the back row) on that...

Submit it you may get extra credit. 'Twas a good song to be sure, to be sure!

 

[neilmeister]

Ummm, lets attack now.

By my count we have 6 Axes, unless we are very unlucky, this should be enough to take Delhi.
