Multiplayer free-for-all: Songhai on a Fractal map

[PrimEval]

I've posted the first half of a 6 player free-for-all I played yesterday with the no quitters group. Will post the remainder later in the week. Hope you enjoy it!

Oops, thanks for letting me know. I've edit the original link so it should work now. But, just in case, here is a link to my channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/PrimEvalCIV

Oh man, i was going insane with a couple things you did early on.

Deleted your scout on a Fractal map, oh my...
edit: i heard you mention Fractal, but was it random map type or actually Fractal?

I'm assuming you've never played Fractal...it's not islands, it's often long snakey continents (sometimes, though it's highly random shaped generally connected landmasses).

And starting the GL so late?

I'm still watching, but i'm pretty sure you're going to get beat to it, starting that late...
edit: wow, you got lucky and actually got it

And very early on, after growing to 2 pop, you didn't check which tiles were being worked, causing it to take way longer to grow to 3 pop that it needed to, especially once the cow tile was grabbed.

Good stuff though, nice video LPs from what i've seen so far

edit: the chariot archer you deleted could have been upgraded to your Mandekalu Calvalry, which are really nice.
Love the use of citadel later on; very smart placement.

edit much later: WTH would you delete your Crossbowman?!?

After first 5 videos I have to say that's one of the more enjoyable LP's I watch these days. Good MP feel, yet so different from MP games I was used to back in Civ4. You and Greeks both were lucky to get such starting locations.
BTW, city does provide zone of control, so no fear for your workers.

Yeah i watched a large number of your videos, and skimmed through on some of the later ones.

Really was a great view, great narration on your part while still having to concentrate on the game.

I cried when you lost you city with the nuke in it though...i saw him knock it down to no health, with that battleship just waiting, and you still didn't move it out, i was thinking noooo, move the damn nuke to another city already lol.

Great stuff though; look forward to seeing more.

Nice game, PrimEval! Doesn't matter whether you win or lose. Losing to AI sucks, but losing to good human players shouldn't feel like a lost at all. And I can see another game is up. Gonna watch it.

Great MP replays! These are so hard to find.

I'm watching your newest one and you look to be in a very bad position but I'm only on EP3 so maybe you turn things around. You seem to have been intimidated by other players reputation into not expanding at all. I think I sense a self fulfilling prophecy coming.
