nerovats, why don't you edit the first post and direct a link to Obormot's Carthage start?

 

[Own]

Soul- If you've made progress, can you tell us what you've done so far to give you feedback?

 

[soul_warrior]

well, i've had a DEAR JHON weekend.
so i have been quite UNwilling to play.
i WILL play tomorrow, when i sober up.

if any one wants it though, feel free.
just post an "i grabbed it"

soory for delay, but hey, RL has some meaning...

 

[soul_warrior]

just had a gig thrust upon me for tomorrow night.
its a dub-raggae, afrobeat, latin soul thingee.

havent played that stuff for a few months now, so i need to do some home work.

i need a skip here, as im out of civving till tuesday.

sorry for the long delay, but what can i say...
i need the mullah

Ok then it's

Obormot
nerovats
Own
SW skipped
Pentium- UP
Bigfoot- on deck be ready
Whomp

Edit: FOrgot Pentium swapped, so Bigfoot is up with Whompalicious on deck.

 

[Bigfoot]

Soul, did you post a save from the 2 turns you played?

 

[Own]

No, he didn't, just start from Pentium's save.

 

[Pentium]

Pay attention to Dance of Death area. 2 defenders defending 3 cities and a SoW.

 

[Own]

I suggest we exhaust our miiltary this turn, trying to take those two citeis, then signing peace.

 

[Bigfoot]

No, he didn't, just start from Pentium's save.

Sorry, but I don't agree. It is bad form to replay turns that have already been played by a team member (IMHO).

Sorry, but I don't agree. It is bad form to replay turns that have already been played by a team member (IMHO).

ill try and post that save then tonight if i can.
but seems highly unlikely.
and basically all i did was finish the war (got engineering for some gold), move troops south and build a bit of infra.

 

[Bigfoot]

OK Soul, I was trying to respect the time and energy that you had invested in the played turns. Seeing as you don't object to my playing from Pentium's save (and that there were no adverse events and no spoilers) I will take it from the last posted save.

*** Got it. ***

 

[soul_warrior]

whats fair is fair.
that gig was ok, they want me on a bi-weekly basis.
that save....
glad you played it.
no worries bout it here.

Nero 03 – 150BC

- 338G, +36gpt (Golden Age)
- 15 workers, 1 warrior, 2 archers, 5 horse, 18 cats, 1 army (NM), 15 NM.
- Make peace with Abe, get Eng. for 116G and 10gpt (discounted price – he won’t give up a tech for peace and I don’t want to lose some cats and workers that he could grab during IBT).

<IBT: Abe boots us out and starts Copernicus.>

T1-T5 (130BC – 50BC):
- Moving forces to attack Byz. cities. Building mostly horses, a settler out of PINK and walls in BLUE.

T6 30BC:
- Declare honorably on Byz.
- Create an embassy with France

<IBT: Carthage, Theveste and White horse => horse.>

T7 10BC:
- Bombardment of Nicea hits just 2 for 10.
- Move another force next to Trebizond.

<IBT: A Byz. knight slips past our lines and takes Rusicade; lots of French units approaching Nicea from the east, including cavs .>

T8 10AD:
- Recapture Rusicade.
- Capture Nicea (just in time – France would have taken it next turn).
- Capture Trebizond.
- Abandon Nicea and rebuild Sulcis in its place.

<IBT: GA ends; Carthage horse => sword; rioting erupts.>

T9 30AD:
- Byz. won’t talk to us.
- MM to stop riots.
- Embassy with Abe:

<IBT: Utica horse => sword.>

T10 50AD:
- Make peace with Byz, but cannot get a tech without paying all our gold and 14gpt. That would blow our rep. once France takes them out, so I settle for a measly worker (all that they had to offer).
- Switch horse builds to swords. We have lots of horses already and cannot afford mass upgrades even if we had the techs for knights.

Recap:
- We are at peace, for now. The iron is ours, and Byz are reduced to a 1CC (soon to be gone).
- France is already using cavs, we should team up with America and knock them down a few pegs before they run away with it. The swamps and mountains in the SE make a good defensive barrier, so Abe would get the brunt of the fighting.
- 132G, -4gpt; 15 workers, 1 warrior, 2 archers, 15 horses, 18 cats, 1 army (NM), 18 NM, 1 treb.

double post

Nice work Bigfoot. It seems we have our work cut out for us. Cavs? Ikes.

I am swamped right now. The earliest I can grab this is probably Friday. Please swap me out. Sorry everyone.

 

[Pentium]

Nothing better than peace. Too bad we have a techhole

 

[Heroes]

I'm pretty sure your rep is ok if you buy tech from sb. for gpt and she dies, -- providing you only spend gpt. Your rep will be ruined if you sell resource in the deal. Since your tech situation is so miserable, it could be "honorable" to buy tech(s) (you won't have that much gpt for "s") from Byz.

 

[Own]

With the current situation honorable play is the very last thing on our minds. We just need to get cav and the world is ours, right? No .

Bigfoot- Great work with the Byz. Finish America off after 20 turns? If we get a leader, since we already have a victorius army we can build HE and MA, IMO we should rush the FP in Washington. We should attack soon, I want wine!!

All that marsh/jungle could be a nice science/money farm . Send out some settlers
