MP10 - AWDG Continents, Ottoman

[Ansar]

lurker's comment: im with MP,try Greece. Or maybe Sumeria, or maybe Carthage .

 

[ThERat]

agree this calls for revenge...GL is essential but we also need cities. Key is an offensive UU for the early ages: Celts, Iro are very suitable or Persia

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

I agree with Leha that TGL has cost us dearly, but OTOH, we had 2 AGR GA at our doorstep, and that's evil. AGR GA's is what took the game. Had we gone against say spain and arabia, this would be rolling still.

If you call a revenge, make sure you save a spot for overweight, white and furry animals living in the great north My vote would be on Sumeria, because spearmen are really essential to this level and 10 shields is a very serious asset that will save us countless (perhaps we could count, but that's beside the point) shields and allow for better offensive and infrastructural builds.

 

[Khan_Asparuh]

The Khan calls for revenge too! I only got 10 turns on this one, tried my best but wasn't up to... Please call me in your revenge, MP, this one can be won.

I too think that 2 agr civs with ancient UUs (especially Gallics, I love/hate those guys, depending on what side they play) have killed us...

Go on MP, we can make it. Check out the "stars" in the AW, the grumpy old men take several games to win. No offence meant Greebley

EDIT: Without the GL, it'll be . Proved winnable, but we must capture it, so it's the same...

 

[Ansar]

Actually, its quite possible to live without TGL. Read this SG:Magnificent 7+1

 

[Own]

Ansar- This is AW, and is totally different. In 7+1, they did capture it anyway.

 

[Leha]

If I will miss revenge sign up somehow, please put me in automatically

 

[soul_warrior]

Carthage:0
Sumerians:0

VOTE NOW!

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Not very professionnal, Ansar, as you only counted one vote - which wasn't cast by a team member

I was about to offer my services for a Sumer start, but since Mr SW looks so darn eager, I'll leave him the honor. After all, my last turnset was going fairly good (probably because it was the last who did not look upon GS hordes), so I don't have so much of a revenge to seek after...

 

[Ansar]

lurker's comment: wow, ive been messing up all day long...

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

In the event that you really wanted to give the Sipahi a shot, MP, we can just go again with those starts from scratch with Osman.

Ok I should have been more patient, sorry SW, but here it goes. I rolled a few horrible swamp/jungle/desert/tundra starts, but came across these decent sights:

Start 1

Start 2

Both have met 1 civ in the late turns: Hittites for #1 and Russia in #2. Everything else is on the pictures; BO's were rax (chop)-EW-EW-EW-worker and rax (chop)-EW-EW-granary

Settings are all middle choice in the 1st page except no barbs, all random opponents, normal or 1 higher agressivity (not sure if I changed it to normal), DG.

 

[Ansar]

lurker's comment: i recommend start 2, it looks more balanced out.(once again, sorry if this is unprofessional )

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

I was just kidding up there dude

And #2 is my favorite one as well.

 

[Ansar]

lurker's comment: sorry i am a idiot for jokes, i usually cant tell sarcastry sometimes

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Here's a hint: if I write something, it's sarcastic

 

[Ansar]

lurker's comment: gotcha

 

[soul_warrior]

no worries BEF.
ill go with door number 2.

 

[Leha]

I wanted to vote Celts, but I'm itching to return them a favor, so I hope we'll meet them again.

I vote Sumers. I don't like EW, hoplites are much better, but AGR is too good treat to miss.

Motion confirmed and adopted

I think start 2 with no doubts. Have I ever played Sumeria??? I don't recall... Scientific is not my favorite... Let's give it a try.
