PH12: Men in Tights

[pholkhero]

that complicates things, but shouldn't be too bad. perhaps we can take on one of the other top dogs.

also, if a weaker civ asks for our help in war, should we help?? situational??

on another note: some of us DMers will be getting together for MP on: Fri @ 5pm, Sat @ 12pm & 6pm (GMT). PM me if interested ~

Personally I think that would be too much. We help when we are able

 

[r_rolo1]

Miss Boobica droping below us was a bad streak of luck... just when I already had a spy in Tiwanaku .....

And Refar, there is a confu missionary en route to that city. We have a spy going to the nearest Japanese city as well.

Will update the report in 2-3 h ( need to eat dinner and to help little sis in English )

P.s I *think* I broke a rule , but are we forced to change religion if asked by a "weaker civ" ? Wash and Fred asked me to be Hindu, and I denied. Pholk, ,clarify this pls

 

[Refar]

I would keep the "Comply to Requests" to stuff where they actually are asking us to give them something... If we switch religions/civics every time some AI-jerk feels a itch, we will never come out of the revolt Then again... Might be fun...

 

[pholkhero]

no, i'm w/refar ~ the compling only went to techs

 

[pholkhero]

remember, too, we need to trade around everythign we steal to the "lower" civs, too

 

[r_rolo1]

Updated report.....

Complying with all of the AI demands would give a good SG ( bookmark this idea pholk ) : " Who's afraid of the big bad wolf? I do..."

Abotu the steal: Maths look ok... but who will be the subject of our generosity?

 

[pholkhero]

iirc, someonde did an SG just like that some time ago, no?

also, my thought was that we have to give to ALL the lower civs, but if that seems *too* nice, we can pick the lowest one or two.

 

[r_rolo1]

I'm fine with giving it to all, it would boost our diplo ( maybe we can win by diplo that way )

iirc, someonde did an SG just like that some time ago, no?

Don't remember....

That would have been me

My personal favourite demand was when Asoka and Alex were at war and both asked us to join the war in the same IBT, causing us to declare on both at the same time .

 

[pholkhero]

hah ~ i knew it.

speaking of which (of SGs that were self-started), i'm up to about 24 started since i've started here

 

[Meiz]

Bulbing Theology with prophet would have given us another religion... :/ Literature is good choice for our next tech, but let's skip Great Library. We want Great Spies and Artists.

National Epic should go to a city that will be producing most GA points. Let's also build Pantheon to that same city.

What does the team think about our 3 culture cities? I vote for Sherwood, Loxley and Gisborne. Gisborne should concentrate on wonders that Aesthestics opened.

 

[Meiz]

I think Pawelo is up.

 

[pawelo]

Sorry, didn't catched it.
Is there a fearless cap'tain around to post the roster ?

Will try to play asap.
Any more input ?

 

[r_rolo1]

Not a fearless c'ptain ( atleast of this sinking ship ), but while pholk is recovering from the saturday fighting club I can act like a kind soul and post a roster

Roster:
pholkhero
TriviAl
Refar
Meiz
r_rolo - "just" ( some days ago ) played
pawelo ------> UP <--------
Ralph_Jackson - On deck

As for advice.... we can only attack Babylon and Japan, and none of this war is interesting for us ATM, so no war prep unless Bizantium enters in hands full or Boobica recovers from war. Steal Maths, spread confu to the nearest babilonian and japanese cities, finish lit and trail to Eng ( for castles )

 

[pholkhero]

Thanks rolo, but the first rule of DM Fight Club is: Don't talk about Fight Club.

The 2nd rule of DM Fight Club is: Always bring scones!

That pawelo is a lazy bum

 

[pawelo]

That pawelo is a lazy bum

Me ? A lazy bum ?
At least I've been reading and following my SGs

Will try to play today, before PFS Charlemagne.
My GF didn't appreciate too much my MP time last saturday so RL is getting painful

 

[pawelo]

Gosh it went fast
I'll even have time to make it for the PFS-01 game I'm up also.

Anyway, what happened ?

This:




Maths went alright, and this option appeared. I've seen no other way than to comply. As we had two spies in Borsippa

Charly came around on the next IBT :



Go ahead alone, I will follow... or not.

Vicky made peace with JC by the way.

Booby step by too for a tribute, ahem, request:



She apparently needs an 11th deer (out of our 7) - she must be doing the Santa Claus WW
Anyway, drop it or leave it on turn 195

I started Parthenon in Gisborne, deciding that it would have to go faster than SoZ - we aren't the only one to have Poly. It's due in 11 turns by the end of the set.

I also oriented more points on Vicky as she was about to discover currency.
First spy got stationned in Osaka on turn 189, another one is on the way.

Spread confu to Charly (Borsippa) and Vicky (Osaka).

One of our spies got stumbled by JC while was going for Borsippa - it wasn't even for you stupid!

Booby DoW'ed Native Americans and wanted us to join

Litterature in turn 193, and it's time to stop. Research set on MC for Engineering-way.

I reset more Esp points on Charly - he is researching Calendar and has a pretty useful Philo.

Had to whip temple in Sherwood - I sorry to let it slip into unhappiness...

Nice deal-to-steal on inherited turn :



Ralph's up!

 

[pawelo]

Hello back guys,

Can I please ask you to accept me out of the loop for a while ?
Have some serious RL issues to handle, and my attention was (and is) too much focused on Civ & SGs.
I don't know how long it will take - hopefully I'll get it right back on the track before it's too late (if it already isn't).

I'll keep you posted.

Had a great time playing alongside with you guys.
Cheers,

Pawelo

 

[Ralph_Jackson]

Ok Got, it will post some thoughts tonight.

Pawelo hope it's nothing you can't sort out.

Ralph
