WARNING: this log will make you fall asleep in sheer boredom, do not operate heavy machinery while checking liq's post. No cough syrup was harmed to bring you this log.


AKA The most BORING turnset in liq1.b wow how the hell Liq stayed awake during these turns no idea... about ran out of sanity and still feel guilty as if I just whacked turn end 15 times. honest folks took this long to get troops over.




preturn: Finally awake and free of flu... what a relief. looking over the state of the land and wow, that was major major revamping after the damage silver did to our economy. lol. Gotta love this crew.. silver wrecks it, scowler fixes it merz spots every single and rubs our noses in it and muf spams MASSSSSSS screens. Oh and Liq makes lame excusess why his turn is late like "sorry guys after throwing up for an hour liq thought sleep was more important than civ" what a loser.

well after 5 mins scrolling I finally find izzys last town... WAY up in the NW. gonna make peace as well it's gonna take a good ten turns to get to her. Get gunpowder and optics from her, tried for divine right but she was not going for it.

Muskets suck BAD, no building muskets.

Great artist... eh gonna save him for a possible golden age as nothing else he's good for. I mean screw devine right.

turn culture to 0% since war weary is over and bump research to 50%.. econ in 7.

So alex is next though need to get rid of that effing barb town.

suffer two turns of anarcy to go represe and mercantil. will be worth it.

lets see where all out troops are... oh there they are =p


[1]1742 AD
not much to do as another turn of anarchy.


[2]1744 AD
madrid is converted to christianity. that barb town has 100% defense, need artillery there for sure.


[3]1746 AD

hmm real boring as I'm waiting on boats so as to move troops.



[4]1748 AD

sigh man ok well this is going to be an amazingly fun packed turn set of ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ



[5]1750 AD

cor feel like I'm just wacking turn end liked 15 times... this is sad. kill a barb maceman for giggles..

that barb town in teh SE has to wait, our macemen have a whopping 10% chance to win. that's for the highly promoted one.


[6]1752 AD
omg!!!!! a galley is built!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cats are gonna take about 8 turns to get to mygar... kill a long bow that left town to guard pigs tho.


[7]1754 AD

econ comes in go chemistry in 7... grens will do us good. btw 50% science and gaining 45 gold a turn for upgrades.

oh hmm need 3 great people for a golden age? uh.... merchant points towards replaceable so grab it switch over to replaceable in 3.

hahah kill an archer and pop a hut FOR..... a map =p.

IBT:

[8]1756 AD
my knight in the north is trying to take out 3 long bows by himself.. good luck, one long bow down!


[9]1758 AD

[10]1760 AD
replaceable comes in now chemistry in 7.


[11]1762 AD

IBT:

[12]1764 AD

[13]1766 AD

moving troops was NEVER this much fun... my god if I wasn;t asleep already this turnset would have done it.



[14]1768 AD
not sure I don;t rememeber this turn.


[15]1770 AD
omg another goodie hut, one more turn!

1772 ad
OMG got a warrior from the hut!!!!!

ok rested all the units... there's a few barbs loose next turn are grens... take that force in the SE and upgrade them all to grens and just take out the barb town.

Alex is ready to DIE next turnset, 95% of our tropps are at his borders... yes borderS... I split the troops up to take out more than one town at a time.
soooooo boring/

well in grand Tradition.... Liq sets up the pins so next up can knock em down... Lots of cash and all those macesmen can become grens.. turn cash to 100% next turn to get a nice chunck of change to add to the 2k odd gold we already have.


oh and BORING BORING BORING BORING pulls hair out BORING turns... WTH thought I'd get to attack something.


Cheers~!

ps did I meantion this turn set sucked hard? man tooth picks to keep my eyes open.

 

[Merzbow]

Got it. Looks like I get to land the killing blow...

 

[Liquidated]

all I can say is this, moving 15 odd troops halfway across this sort of map is a ton of droll work lol

knossis is thin but athens and that town to the north are dead. upgrade to grens.


Cheers!

Pre-turn (239 left):

OMG we are gonna teh lose... check out this power graph:

Just to keep up my skillz I am gonna do my patented pre-turn run over our cities... let's see...

SandM should be growing, I fix that. I don't understand the Taoist temple in Two Rivers, changed to bank. A bank in Bombary is useless, it only makes 8 gold, change to knight. Delhi is starving with an unworked loaf , not anymore. I force the foppish artist we've hired in Delhi to go out into the mines and work like a man. Delphi's artist is turned into a merchant. Pharsalos artist -> engineer. (What's with the plague of artists in non-border towns...)

Barcelona artist -> priest. Madrid artist -> engineer (galley drops from 6 to 2 turns somehow!).

I turn research down to 30%, the lowest it can go and still make Chemistry in 1 turn.

I destroy a spurious barb warrior with a Pigface. It took a while and it hurt because pig faces are blunt weapons and are kind of squishy.

I declare on Alex and begin moving troops. I'm holding back the meelee troops until next turn so they can be upgraded to grens. This is gonna be quick.

Turn 1 (238 left):

I upgrade all our maces to grens at the cost of most of our gold. Next turn they will join the battle while I batter down defenses on Alex's three cities.

Screw it, I'm putting all workers on auto, because this game won't last my turnset.

I declare war on Izzy for ease of unit travel (so I can target new units to move into her lands).

Chemistry -> Steel

OMG our war weariness is absolutely sickening:

I put research to 0% and culture to 40% to compensate. Now I know what that Taoist temple in Two Rivers was for.

The genius Alex actually has a settler pair on a galley near Argos. I'll build a caravel in Corinth next turn to take it out.

Turn 2 (237 left):

Lol, Alex's settler pair has settled. Check out this brilliant city placement:

Turn 3 (236 left):

Culture up to 50% now.

Turn 4 (235 left):

The battle of Argos:

Turn 5 (234 left):

The battle of Knossos:

The battle of Athens:

Flawless victory! Won several battles in a row at 75% chance.

 

[Merzbow]

Turn 6 (233 left):

Culture up to 60%. Let the bastards eat cake while, uhh, Athens burns...

Turn 7 (232 left):

The battle of Herakleia:

The battle of Ephesus:

Turn 8 (231 left):

Culture up to 70%, rofl.

Turn 9 (230 left):

The battle of Mycaenae:

Now that's odd, Alex had a galley he used to dump that ill-fated settler pair, now it disappeared. Never seen an AI disband a galley before.

The battle of Murcia:

And God's will be done.

lol. Yay!!!!
Nice job!

WTH how the hell we win an agustus rating?

was it the hair bun? That rating system is screwy.

As for the 's, A bank is effing worthless when half the town is angry but guess you figured that out AFTERwards hahahaha.

as for the specs, mercantilism created a free spec in every town and hell if Liq was gonna bother placing them as priests.

Like the troop placement merz? oh and the timing on grens with the giant bank account?

Liq doesn;lt pull the trigger he just loads up the gun and points it in the correct direction for ya.

Anyway far far far too easy a game, the barbs were a bust.

After merz2 next liq will be some sort of artifical barbs from hell mod, whichever is up for perusal in that time frame. This raging barbs was more like wimpering sissys.

Great game though, was the hair bun for sure.

Cheers!

[Scowler]

Er, Merz... I think you forgot something...

I wonder if it's possible to be wiped out by barbs after a conquest victory...

 

[Merzbow]

Heh. I guess I should have put more than one catapult outside Magyar. Wow, look at the culture on that city...

 

[Zavior]

I got my civ up and running, and my new SATA harddrive is rocking on =)
