K 7 - The Zany 'Zerkers' (thanx to meldor)

[Gothmog]

Conquest is fine, although we may have to chase down a couple final galleys.

Of course just to be perverse we could go for a culture victory.

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

we could go for spaceship, too

I guess conquest or accidantal culture would be fine with this group of bloodthirsty Zerkers.

 

[Melifluous]

Am personally gonna go for Conquest...

Time to get razing them there cities

:rocket: :ripper: :rocket2: :tank:

[meldor]

With the way this game is set up for tech, we are a loooooonnnnngggg way from a culture or Space Race victory. If you go for conquest or Dom it will be ouve quickly.

 

[Gothmog]

Hey all, I'll be away from my internet access until sunday evening. So if someone wants to grab and play after Melifluous, feel free.

 

[Gothmog]

Bump....

Man, what is it with this game? I know it's a huge map but...

5 days and counting since Melifluous's 'I got it" note.

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

he said yesterday that he would finish it during his luchtime..... ?????

 

[Melifluous]

OK sorry guys...

I'm slow and I know it...
said I would complete it in a lunchtime, but this erm, takes longer than I thought

Hmm early reports from this game..
Mongols dead, Americans and English hurting...
Hmm in about 10 turns they will really hurt...

Melifluous

PS. Played it that lunchtime and every bit of freetime since

 

[Gothmog]

Re Melifluous: Yes the turns take a long time to play, the huge map and enourmous army of zerkers and galleys we have (not to mention the sea lanes) make it so. Sounds like you are doing well with it, really I just like to know that you are working on it.

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

he just razed Washington - yay!

 

[meldor]

Anything happening?

 

[Melifluous]

Hmm yeah,

sorry guys still playing...

Mongols dead, Americans dead, English gonna be dead....
I have 50 units in need of transport and on turn 14....
Will post the game soon...

Sorry again, first ever SG and I am a bit slow...

Melifluous

 

[meldor]

@Melifluous,

Normally if you are going to take a longer time, you can post partial turn results in batches of 3-5 turns just to let us know that you haven't fallen asleep on us. It also keeps the audience from forgeting were we are.

 

[Melifluous]

Hmm OK finished with this now...

Will take a little while for the next player to get at the islands to the east but I hope I have made enough troops

Turn 1 - Take Houston, on the mongol island accidentally attack a nearby spearman with my musketman and win...
hehe

Turn 2 - Nothing much going on

Turn 3 - Stack of 3 berserks and 1 pikeman attack hastings, 3 berserks kill all resistance, pikeman kills 1hp spearman to take the city... Burn it to the ground...

Turn 4 - Take Ta-tu, install a new governor, the Mongols are completely destroyed.., marauding berserkers take Atlanta from the sea, burn the city to the ground...

Turn 5 - Consolidation, trying to get all my boats to where my troops are...

Turn 6 - Still not much going on...

Turn 7 - Hubba hubba - My first GL, rushed harbor near England...

Turn 8 - Boston crushed

Turn 9 - Hmm Naught to report...

Turn 10 - Hmm still getting my boats to my troops

Turn 11 - Washington taken and burnt to its foundations...

Turn 12 - Moving troops yawn.. London is gonna get it...

Turn 13 - London is burnt out ruin... Yeah we like this game.

Turn 14 - Miami is mine, The americans are destroyed and now I can concentrate on the English Also next GL for me

Turn 15 - Moving Stuff..

Turn 16 - More Moving...

Turn 17 - Nottingham taken, English now down to only 1 city... Most of my troops in ships moving East...

And I'll give it up at this point and pass on to the next player...

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

well gothmog, will you finish it?

 

[Gothmog]

Alright, time to put this one to bed.

Got it...

Well no I don't have it. Not on the server as far as I can tell. I looked by date and by name and couldn't find anything that looked remotely like it.

 

[Melifluous]

Sorry,

Fixed now..

Melifluous

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

aargh, then meli uploadad while the server was not working! I'll get him on MSN now.

edit says he fixed it!

 

[Gothmog]

Got it for real this time, thanks Melifluous.

I'll be playing pure war no improvements or anything else.

Hopefully, I'll finish it tonight.

 

[Gothmog]

Well... not going to finish as soon as I thought. I played 3 turns last night took me quite a while. I took a long preturn, rushed about 15 temples to help towards domination. Woke a bunch of troops on the former mongol island and sent them south. Declared war on the Indians and Aztec. We lost five fully loaded Galleys that were on ocean tiles. I swapped Knight production to Zerker's. During my turns any building that completed was swapped to military. We are totally dominant and it is only the largeness of the map that slows our progression. On my third turn I noticed a bunch of our Galleys (both full and empty) were asleep! I think there are also a bunch of automated workers. These are both big SG , just FYI Melifluous. Although at this point, the workers are superfluous
I've got an out of town meeting tomorrow and so wont get to play tonight. I'll post howevermuch I get finished on Friday morning.

One question: what is the strict definition of Domination?
