K8: MONSTER MAP - 362x362 map with 24 civs

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

nice turns!

who wants to play?????

 

[Aggie]

Ahem Killer, according to the schedule, you are after swiftsure.

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

with so many people NOT showing up I feel it is NOT smart to stick to the roster..... it was more a call of 'chekc in' than anything else.... actually, i was hoping for Chieftess, Meli or anyone else to cry out 'got it'......

OK, OK; it really is a bad time for it right now, but I 'got it'.....

I can understand, but I think we have plenty of players left. We were all waiting for others to complete their turns...

 

[bewareofgnomes]

hmm, good game you got going on here. i once tried giant map with dyp mod on chieftan. wow thats alot of expanding. got boring because stupid me didnt change ocp so corruption was horrendous. gotbored because midway through MA i hadnt made any contact. would've loved to joined, but i got problems with reinstalling my civ 3. i guess ill just lurk around here.

Killer is taking a CFC beak until march 19th, so I will play now ( consulting him a few minutes ago). When I'm finished, Killer is up.

Got it to play tonight. But CG5 is first

EDIT: CG5 took longer than I thought. This will have to wait till tomorrow... Have to go to sleep

Pre-turn: switch the border-towns from horses to spearmen.

310BC (1) Another galley built in Teruel. Starting the exploration of our world.

290BC (2) Zzzzz

270BC (3) Zzzzz

250BC (4) Zzzzz

230BC (5) Zzzzz. There's very little to report in these first couple of turns: training of horsemen and working the land are about the only things going on.

210BC (6) We discover Iron Working. Start researching Code of Laws (we will get the rest form Bismarck...). There's no iron in the world known to us. I get an embassy with Germany and I see that Bismarck has NO iron hooked up. So it's horsemen vs horsemen. Our army is average compared to Bismarck's.

190BC (7) Zzzzz. But in anticipation...

170BC (8)

Objective one is completed.

150BC (9) I buy world map for world map and 60 gold. There's no iron at all on the continent.

130 BC (10) Zzzzz


Some pointers:
- The Germans also don't have iron. In fact, there's no iron on the continent.
- We are about the same size in military strength.
- I didn't find a possible 'bridge' to another continent...

Killer, you're up: get those Germans

130 BC save

 

[swiftsure]

good work Aggie, no iron!

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

DL doesn't work for me but I got the mail

got it.

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

report: both Lighthouse and Great Wall are completed elsewhere

FP started, it alone will be enouhg for the entire island so we cna later jump palace to another one.

Germany is bleeding. The Horsemen do well on attack, horribly on defence (like warriors kill them w/o HP loss all the time, even across rivers into hills).....

Especially the Nuremberg defenders were incredible, too. We lost 27 HP striahgt in a row until we won 1, then it was another 4 Horsies who retreated for no damage

btw, we met Rome and got contact with US for Literature

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

upload isn't working.....

Chieftess, mail me and I'll mail you the save.

 

[Aggie]

Killer, sounds... ehm... interesting. A lot happened. I'm curious about the save, so if upload still doesn't work: e-mail?

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

Aggie: wilco


done, it is over 1 MB by now even zipped!

Thanks. The size is going to be intersting later in the game.
We'll see if my PC can handle that....

EDIT: wow, I had a look at the game.

- We got to know 2 more civs, China and Rome
- Germany has a serious problem
- We are technologically advanced (TGL...)
- Most powerful from the known world
- Highest culture in the known world.
- 45 horsemen left

Killer, you may have been right when you said that on this kind of map emperor is a bit like monarch on normal map.

 

[swiftsure]

Sorry guys but i'm going to have to drop all my SGs for a couple of weeks due to a RL crisis.

 

[Borealis]

I'm not exactly sure, but it looks like Chieftess is playing right now. If someone could please post a roster, I'd appreciate it.

My status: I'm currently feverish from the flu, but if it's the same type as the flu my friends have/had, I should be well in a day or so. If the save is posted within 24 hours or so, and I'm up, if someone else wants to swap with me to speed this along I'm fine with that. Otherwise, it'll have to wait until I'm healthy enough to think lucidly (which I am currently having trouble with- trying to play HOT3 late last night messed with my head. Ouch.)

 

[Mystery13]

I would jump in and help you guys in Swiftsure's absence, but I have already played the map to about 1400AD. Problem is, at that point it is 1.5 MB and my system is taking more than 5 minutes per turn and erroring about every 10 turns (and my system is no slouch...1.8Ghz P4, 64MB DDR ram Ti-200 video card, 256MB ram, 40GB harddrive). Good luck!

Rumours go that you can use more players to join!

If yes, can I join?

I would say: welcome! What about it Killer?

PS. How's chieftess doing with her turn?

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

yes, stapel, you are indeed welcome.

I will catch Chieftess on MSN today - maybe she didn't get my mail....
