MadV4- Sumerian OCC 20K

Pre-Turn: Looks good.

260 AD
IT: Hittites enter MA

270 AD
IT: Persia becomes a Republic

280 AD
IT: Germany becomes a Republic. We become a Republic

320 AD
IT: Marketplace>Archer

Whoops, didn't note that I built two archers after the marketplace.

390 AD: Egypt: We get 50 gold; we give Construction

410 AD: Hittites: We get two slaves and 13 gold; we give Republic
IT: Persia demands Monotheism, I give it.

420 AD
IT: Hittites demand Feudalism, I give it.

440 AD
IT: GL gets up Invention

-I almost built a 3rd archer so when I disbanded the two warriors archer was set as the build. Changing my mind I switched to wealth to clear the 3 shields and than set it to Sun Tzu’s. Four turns later when Sistine became available it wouldn’t let me switch. I did not realize that you couldn’t use wealth to remove shields, than set as wonder build and not be able to switch to a different wonder later. This isn’t good as I’m unsure if we can switch away from Sistine later.
-This turn we finally became connected to the Hittites capitol so I would suggest trading for one of their wines.
-I never heard anyone say anything about an Iron colony so I left it alone. Didn’t really want to waste one of our workers. In truth I don’t believe we need it unless we want to build a few pikes.
-I believe the Hittites and Egypt are at war. The two slaves I bought from the Hittites were both Egyptian.
-I irrigated a couple tiles we weren’t using so we could grow quicker when Shakes is built.
-Should I have given in on the demands? I typically do when playing OCC but was curious as to your all’s opinion.

The save.
 
We don't need luxuries, ever. I don't think they are worth even 3 gpt in this game.

Yes, giving in to their demands is probably best.

We have over 300 gold in our treasury, why are we not running 100% science?
 
Roster:
MadV (skip until 7/29)
Mathias
MjM (mia = auto-skip)
CVH (skipped... but why?)
Methos (just played)

I got it.
 
450 AD
Science to 100%
IT: Germany completes Colossus

510 AD
Science to 80% to reduce overrun

530 AD
IT: Germany demand Theology, I give
Education >> Astronomy (science back to 100%)

540 AD
We just missed getting Chivalry from GL (Arabia/Persia picked up Theo/Chiv and traded)
Barbarian threat reduced, disband one archer

600 AD
Trade Education to Arabia for Chivalry and 4 luxuries
Engineering to Hittites for Wines
IT: Japan demands Engineering, I give

620 AD
IT: Sistine Chapel >> University

630 AD
Monotheism to Egypt for Iron and Furs

650 AD
Astronomy in 4 with zero overrun
University in 2, after which we could disband an archer for 5 shields and build a pikeman before begining Cop's

We can sell Education...
Persia has 8 gpt and 63 gold (I would sell)
Germany has 2 gpt and 26 gold (cheap, but why not?)


I guess CVH is up next... (see previous post)
 
Just wanted to let everyone know that from Thursday (Aug. 28) until Sunday (Aug. 31) my wife and I will be out of state visiting family. I won’t have internet access nor civ availability until sometime late Sunday. Please skip me until than.

I wasn't for sure why we skipped CVH either, just figured I must have missed something. If CVH can't play today I can probably play tonight after we pack. Just let me know.
 
Apparently not...

MjM is MIA
CVH has been active on the forum, but apparently forgot about this game.
Methos is away for the weekend (his post said Aug. we all get days mixed up, why not months?)
I played the last turnset

Put out a call for subs/replacement players?
Maybe just make it an open SG, where anyone can jump in and play 20 turns?
 
lol yes i completly forgot about this SG. man ive got alot of SGs to catch up on...ive been really busy. im gonna try to pull all the ones i need to do tommorow night.

Whoops, my mistake (it should have been July rather than August).

Anyway, I'm back and let me know if you want me to take it or not. I still need to catch up with all the posts.

-I’m not too happy with my trades, so I apologize.
-Wasn’t for sure which way to go after Astronomy so I decided to head towards Free Artistry for Shake’s.
- I would suggest rushing the bank and than starting on a pre-build for Shake’s.

Here's the save.
 
Roster:
MadV- Up
Mathias- On Deck
MjM- MIA
CVH- with flu
Methos- Just played

MadViking asked to be skipped until the 29th so I'm assuming he's able to play now. If not it's back to Mathias again.

This could be interesting; a two or three person SG.
