My first attempt at a succession game -- American Chieftan

[Ihmotep]

hrmmmm...........


I've not been able to play recently cause of school, and now the stomache flu. I'll get to it when I can and I'll focus on developement (after killing the Iroqois)

 

[Ihmotep]

I'm taking it!!!!!!

We shall be developed

 

[Ihmotep]

odd..it says its not a valid save file.......

Well it worked For Eric, why not me

 

[Ihmotep]

I'm gonna call this game scrapped unless anyone else wants to continue it cause as Eric said, we did a horrible job with the developement, etc...Pretty bad for my first one but hopefully it isn't a trend

 

[the_travis_s]

Eric most likely has the 1.21 patch.

I agree though, i've been following this since day one, and have yet to pick it back up. Not turning out too great.

Think of it as a learning experience.. And start another one!

Or.. You could keep this one going and salvage it.. believe me, some games start off bad, then go on to domination/space race wins. You have jungle around your capital? So fix it! It only takes a few turns.. build more workers, stay out of wars and concentrate on infrastructure for a while.

Spend some time to figure out what would improve things, then you'll have a better idea how to proceed in your next game.

I will try to get it this weekend to salvage it
Someone can play beforehand. I don't see why we could not play it some more. Anyway I have been really busy on the weekdays!

Are some people afraid of a challenge?! This is chieftain for crying out loud! We have a 5 tech lead, are people afraid we can still lose this game? Who cares about our rep. The AI only won't sign ROP, due to a miscommunication amongst our leaders. We don't need ROP. The AI will still trade with us for other things (luxuries for example). Right now England is GRACIOUS and everyone else is POLITE. Is that a terrible rep? We weren't planning on a diplomatic victory, anyways. We were hoping for spaceship, right?

Yes, right now our military is weak. You should have seen it before my turn. I lost several cavalry because somehow the mounted warriors (ancients units!) kept killing my cavalry. And with the new v1.21f patch, the AI actually uses rifleman for Offense! I sure wasn't expecting that. I knocked out half of the Iroquis territory. The cities that are left you can just leave for England. Those cities have probably been drafted so much, they would be worthless cities anyways. Has anyone every heard of REGROUPING! Leave our cavalry back on our soil and just play defensive until we get more cavalry units built up. The Iroquis doesn't have much military left anyways, so with England also attacking them, we won't have to worry about any Iroquios offensive. Not losing more units and not having units on enemy soil will also reduce the war weariness.

This game is simple to save. Just keep researching the necessary techs. DO NOT RESEARCH THE DEAD END TECHS. And with Theory of Evolution giving us two free techs, we should launch the spaceship well before 2050 A.D. You can put me in almost any situation on CHIEFTAIN, and the game can be saved. Don't just complain about the problems, be a real leader and FIX THEM!

Bravo to baseballtwin86 for taking the 'bull by the horns' and be willing to try and save it. Ihmotep also deserves respect because he was willing to take on the challenge (he just didn't know about the new patch/save thing).

 

[Ihmotep]

is there another patch or something? I have the 1.71 patch

 

[LKendter]

1.21 is the current patch.

There is a link somewhere on the www.civfanatics.com page

 

[basher]

I agree with Bamspeedy. Let's play this game to the end. Even if things don't go the way you expect them to go, you shouldn't give up.

And it works in your personal life too.

 

[the_travis_s]

Hmmm, maybe that's why I fail all my classes, don't have a job, have no friends, and my parents hate me...

just kidding about that

 

[Pagan]

Hey all, I'll try to help out where I can if you want. I won't be home for another 6, 7 hours so feel free to take a turn in. Otherwise I'll do some infrastructure when I get home.

 

[Pagan]

sorry guys I won't be able to look at this until tomorrow. So if someone wants to play, shoot. I only have time for 2 sg's that I'm already in.

 

[Ihmotep]

Hmmm

I guess I'll take another shot (seeing as I'm patched now)

2 - Philly starts a Cathedral
3 - I micromanaged Doh! from 21 to 18 turns on the Battlefield Medicine. Next person should develop that area so that we aren't losing food anymore. Plenty of places for roads and irrigation. I could have gotten it to 16 but we would be losing 2 food instead of 1 a turn...probably should have anyway
4 - Another Cavalry Lost but the Evil Rifleman is down to his last dollar. !!!!!!!!!!!VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!! Our Elite Cav takes out the Rifleman from Hell. We win again! Last win! kill a spearman and take the city + 1 worker. I wanted to name it Riflemen from Hell but I forgot so maybe the next person could change Cattaragus to that...

Well that was fun but I'm glad its over. Standby for the savegame

 

[Ihmotep]

I got a fair amount of infrastructure considering i was fighting the little Rifleman who could the whole freakin' time......Finish the Iriqouis off, they have no more cities on OUR continent but 2 on the Roman's continent..although Rome is at war with them, the cities were there all 11 turns so they must need some help

 

[Bamspeedy]

See, I told you this game could be saved!

We are in our Golden Age!!!!!

Washington had plenty of food, who cares about the jungle, we still have time to take care of that. We finished off the Iroquis. Now everyone else will be aiming for the last two Iroquis cities so we don't really need to finish them off ourselves. Did you get a city started on Hoover's? The map-making tech from TOE is a bug. Obviously we already have map-making.

GOOD JOB Ihmotep!

 

[Ihmotep]

its a shame our golden age was blemished by the 15+ Cavalry deaths and the fact that we were at war

I haven't found a good site for Hoover's yet..maybe Washington. I forget if it has a river

Oh and thanks

 

[Bamspeedy]

I'll take the next turn...

I promise not to start any more wars

I'll make sure we make good use of the remaining golden age.
