Played Turns

[donsig]

The remaining Libyan came down from the mountain so Shahram attacked and wiped out the barbarians. Our settler moved closer to our next city site. The Iroqi warrior that once had dreams of sacking Semtex has reappeared on the iron hill. Here's a shot of the west:



Our navy is born! Grendopolis has started work on another curragh which will double the size of our fleet! We are one turn from philosophy. Hired another scientist so we could lower the research rate another notch. Shifted our garrison units around a bit.

Here's the east:

 

[donsig]

We have philosophy! Started researching construction at 90%. Sent an offer of horseback riding to the Celts / Galls.

Artaxerxes backtracked to Dynopolis to act as MP. Our new horseman in Horsebomb, dubbed greekguy attacked the Hurrian barbarians. He lost two hps but defeated the barb and found their camp.

Kia (a 4/4 vet immortal) finished off the sole remaining Iroqi squad, ending the battle of Banana Plains. Kia lost a hp but was promoted to elite!

Next turn we'll have a new city and a couple more military units. (BTW, we currently have 26 units and can support 36.) The turn after that three horsemen will joinn Crown Prince Strider at the end of Military Road. The turn after that we'll have another settler ready to head for Fort Carbonperoxides; the Mausoleum will be complete and our horsemen will begin to probe the flatlands south of the jungle.

Here's a zoom out of the map:

Not much to report - but we do have a new city in the west:



Here's the east:

 

[donsig]

Not much to report on this Christmas Day, but there's alot to look forward to next turn!

Here's the east:



And here's the west:

 

[donsig]

The first and only World Wonder!!! Our curragh moved and fortified in the face of the barbarian galley. Carpetbomb switched to a settler instead of a curragh. Our newest settler heads south for Fort Carbonperoxides. The east:



Spearman (Lagamar) garrisoned Shilhanopolis. Another spearman (Beyrooz) sallied out from Provobomb to help contain the un-named Iroqi warrior. Shahram moved onto the mountain just south of the Iroqi. The west:

lurker's comment: It is proper PBEM - behaviour to inform the others of events like Wonder-finishing because only one team gets the pop-up. In this case a post in the public section would have the same effect.

OK, will do. (Sorry my PBEM manners are so course. It's been ages since Donovan Zoi has [played a turn in the cage match.)

 

[donsig]

Not much new in the east:



In the west, we've made a show of force against the wandering un-named Iroqi warrior:

 

[donsig]

The east - note how close the green borders are!



The west - we continue our futile chase of the roaming Iroqi warrior. At least there are no mounted warriors in sight. (I hope I'm not speaking too soon...)

 

[donsig]

The east:



The west:

 

[donsig]

There was a Hurrian horsemen south of Horsebomb that had to be dealt with. Will most likely send our horsemen on to the barbarion camp.



In the west we continue to chase the roaming Iroqi warrior. If we catch him we might be able to kill him.

 

[BCLG100]

is there much point to be had in disbanding that camp just yet? could we not use it as a training area to help our units grow until our culture eventually overlaps it.

 

[donsig]

We have another settler heading south. Here's the east:



Bad news in the west as we we lose a horseman and a spearman to the roaming Iroqi warrior.

 

[donsig]

Our flagship spotted another barbarian galley. Fort Carbonperoxides has been founded. Switched a couple cities over to settlers.



In the west I sent a new regular horseman out to kill the two hp Iroqi warrior. According to the combat calculator we had a better than 80% chance of winning the battle. We lost and didn't even inflict any damage. Sent another new horseman out (this one a vet) and I almost had a stroke as he first got the Iroqi for one hp then lost three. We did win the final battle and there are no Iroqi units in sight. (If the second horseman would have lost I know a bloodvessel would have popped inside my brain and I'd be laying helpless on the floor right now.)

Re-sent our peace offering of currency and the Iroqi women.

 

[donsig]

Our Golden Age had ended. But we're on the verge of a new Age! See the Greek communication thread for the proposed deal of the century.

Here's the big picture:

 

[donsig]

Our immortal in the west was killed by a mounted warrior. The MW lost only one hp. Sent 60 gold off to the Greeks. They're supposed to send us code of laws and literature next turn. We'll also have construction next turn and we'll send it off to the Greeks then.

 

[donsig]

We have learned construction on our own and rec'd literature and code of laws from the Greeks. I've turned off research until our construction deal is completed.

We'll have a new city next turn and another the turn after that. The turn after that we'll have another settler.

MIA is now in anarchy.

The f11 screen:



Our curragh has spotted three mounted warriors in the west.



Here's the east:

 

[donsig]

We are in the Middle Ages! Our free tech was feudalism! We are now recuiting pikemen instead of spearmen.

The Anasazi are somewhere in the west of the Sacred Jungle. Here's the south:



Note there are now four MW's on that hill in the west. Here's the big picture:

 

[donsig]

Furbomb has been settled on the east coast. Our newest settler has headed south. He will settle south of the jungle on the incense. Shuffled spearmen and warriors around. There are three spearmen in Dancing Banana that will be upgraded to pikemen next turn. They will head south to garrison the city we're going to make to take the incence from the Iroqi.

Killed off the wandering Anasazi warrior but haven't found their camp yet.

The mounted warriors have disappeared from the hill in the west.

Here's the big picture:

 

[donsig]

We have our first library. It is in Dynopolis. Upgraded three spearmen to pikemen. They will join our settler in Dynopolis next turn. Dancing Banana will turn out a new pike nest turn as well, so our settler will have a four pike escort down to the southern incense.

donsig II scouted south of the Sacred Jungle and picked off a one hp mounted warrior. He's now heavily outnumbered. See the Iroqi communication thread and Iroqi War Chronicles thread for more.

Research is still off since we haven't finalized plans with the Greeks yet. They are still in anarchy so they're not researching yet either.
