I agree with finishing before the patch. Sooner would be better for me so we can be done before the patch

Day after tomorrow, then. I will attempt the 30 minutes earlier time, however it's the end of the week for us and my tired wife may not want to be abandoned quite so fast, nor the kids in bed bang on time. So hang around for a while if I'm not there right then.

Are we going to play tonight?
Just asked my girlfriend if we have something to do tomorrow Friday(It's an holiday, anniversary of the Province of Quebec called ''La Fête Natonale'', party everywhere all day), but fortunately we don't have things to do in the afternoon so i can go sleep very late! I will go on a trip only later tomorrow....
I will be there in 5:25 hours.

Okay, wow, that was a hell of a session. Played for over three hours.
The unusually long peace has been shattered. Just briefly:
Tabarnak built Apollo Program and starting building parts. I invaded him, swiftly taking Varanasi, his frontier city to the NW, with a mix of modern armor and tanks. Overexcited, we pushed on to Vijay..., where we *nearly* took the city, but ended up losing at least three MA. ouch. Pause, fell back, regrouped.
On the other side of the world, Brenador/Egypt seized the moment to attack me at Satsuma, my NW city. We held him off for several turns, even though the city was taken all the way down by artillery. I had to divert units from reinforcing vs. Tab. He managed to grab the city for part of a turn, and I took it back. Lovely Satsuma went from size 14, to 7, to 3.
Then France / meso entered the war, against Egypt. Egypt quickly sued for peace with me.
Not sure of the order here, but soon enough France also DoWed India, and nuked Vijay, possibly taking out a large number of the defenders that'd been keeping my forces at bay. Tanks / modern armor backed by artillery moved in, and captured the city. At one point a booster rocket was spotted in the city, but it managed to move out to the capital to join the ship.
Not sure if France and Egypt are still at war or not. India and France are, but France has not invaded--just the nuke to try to stop Tabarnak from launching.
That's where we saved it. T says he can still win in 12 turns. We shall see. Looks like there's only one way to stop him.
I tell you this much, T. If you pull it out, you thoroughly deserve the win.
And this is why all the coordination and waiting have been worth it. I don't think I've ever had as much fun playing civ 5. Can't wait till the game is stable enough to handle 6 or more players. Pitboss will be fun too.
okay...need to wind down for sleep now.
Next game time?
Sat / Sun / Mon / Tues / Weds / Thurs
...it could be our last session with this game. Whatever happens, I've had my share of fun tonight.
oh and I don't know if T or anyone else has had time for screen shots, but I'd really like to see a fuller writeup of the kind of detailed postmortems which grace these boards, when all is said and done.

Great session
Onan started the apocalypse by attacking Tabarnak
seen how Tabarnak is the closest to wining Onan was allowed to move through my borders and use my rail system to attack Tabarnak, for the interest of the french people open borders was signed and Onan troops were granted passage, also India was warned that Japan is going to attack and the official response from India was: we are ready to defend.
Then Brenador attacked Onan while his troops are away fighting Tabarnak, pressuring Onan who was pressing against Tabarnak was not so good for the french interests, thus Brenador was warned not to press hard then France had to break a peace treaty 20 turns prior to due date with Brenador (& i think we both lost a RA) to show some force against him & stop the attack, it worked and Brenador signed peace and got back a city he lost in the short war.
However Onan's campaign was not so great as viewed by the French empire, taking one city was not effective stopping Tabarnak, India seemed to be wining anyways so the vital decision to nuke him was made by the elite generals in France experts estimated the Indian victory soon so France had to act quick.
The biggest city in nuke range was selected as a target, the consequences were devastating apparently and Tabarnak lost that city later on to Onan, also started to lose faith of possibly wining though he is only 2 parts away from wining.
This was the story as reported by french senior officials
& France is currently not in war with Egypt or Japan, France is still at a war with India however it seems they have major troubles dealing with japan for now (units fight full power even when injured) so the dissension to invade is not present, Egypt was denied access through French lands to attack India for the exact same reason.

Yeah i lost a huge amount of units instantly. Because of that my defence is pretty weak now. My chances of winning this game are pretty low. I'm at 2 turns from nanotech and i need 9-10 turns to build the last part if i'm not nuked again.
These guided missiles are very annoying lol. I throwed a bunch of them on Onan's modern armors and it worked well. They are cheap and powerful. If i had stacked a lot more of them instead of building units i would have been in better situation but not that much because nukes are insane. It's the first time i'm at war in the modern era. How much missiles can you stack in a single city?
A science victory is almost impossible on a pangea map with decent players. On a continent alone the ennemy need special ships. I raised the difficulty a lot by going this path and it was to learn more about late game eras. Because otherwise i would have probably beelined Artillery and throwed armies in 2 directions and go for a domination victory like usual in a mp game.
Now, which one of you have a the best chance to win? Do you have nukes Onan? I think France can raise the bar and nuke them all!
Sunday seems a good day for me.
