President thread- Term 3

[1889]

We need a fair amount of luck to make it to next turn so I tried to deprive our conquerors of as much of the spoils as possible.

Deleted a worker before EVG could capture and moved two others way out into the wilderness. Couldn't figure out anything clever for our galley so I disbanded it to deprive GCA of xp.

Set Vivamus to avoid growth, that way it will be zero culture and 1 population, COG will capture nothing.

Attacked EVG's southern stack with our Cat. I thought our Samurai could then defeat the other Mace and our Spear would have a shot at the Elephant but despite crippling Thor, whoever that is, the rest of the plan wasn't going to work out.

Set Fever River to build another Cat and promoted our fresh Longbow to city defender.

The game is over.

Five turns after EVG's declaration of war, CFC has been eliminated from the ISDG. Their team fought a valiant fight, but just before the turn of the new millenium, their nation was overwhelmed by sheer numbers. The citizens of their civilization have now been liberated and peace has been brought to their lands. We would like to thank CFC for participating in the ISDG, and for being most cordial and worthy opponents.

With CFC destroyed, the save now goes from EVG to GWT.

Does anyone have plans to join another team?

 

[robboo]

yep.....if its allowed?

 

[1889]

I'm off to EVG. Suddenly I'm winning this game!

Great time everyone, see you all back here in the next ISDG.

 

[classical_hero]

I will see what eventuates.

So getting a new team is allowed?

How do I go about joining EVG then?

I PM'D daveshack to ask if we can join other teams. I am looking to join CDZ since thats where i spend more of my time.

Its better to ask forgivness than permission. The rules make no mention of refugees so why can't we?. EVG is now at Strategamer.com but it works just like here, select IDG group membership in your user CP. (They still call it a user CP )

 

[Nylan]

I haven't the time, and I wasn't much help anyways. I will try to keep track of it though. gg everyone.

 

[RegentMan]

Why always us?

 

[classical_hero]

We did not choose the right time to attack

 

[robboo]

no we picked the right time and right team...we just got shocked by their ability to defend. poor scouting/intelligence.

We loss out early on with diplo...not enough and to the wrong teams.

I just noticed BAT was conquered a couple days ago. Down to 4 now.

I am posting this here because its the thread most likely to be seen.

Email from Emperor

Hi members of CFC,

Some of the teams from Game 2 of the ISDG have been talking about organising a "fun" (ie, non-ranked) Pitboss game between some or all of the teams from our game, while we wait for the other game (Game 1) to finish. Would you be at all interested in playing in such a game?

It'd be great if you could spread the word to some of your teammates even if you're not interested yourselves.

Kind regards,
Emperor of EVG.

I played a multi team pitboss game at EVG last year and it certainly could be cool. The problem is that it does move fast so we would need active players. Please post here if your interested and include weather you would be able to be an active participant or lurker.

Which version of civ?

 

[1889]

Their is a discussion thread at the UN: http://z9.invisionfree.com/Civ4_ISDG_Alternate/index.php?showtopic=39

While we all wait for Game 1 to finish, many of us from the concluded Game 2 have expressed interest in playing an 'informal' (ie, unranked) pitboss game on the Beyond The Sword expansion. So far, members from COG, CFC, CBR, GWT, GCA and EVG have registered their interest, and we hope to hear from BAT very soon.

Once the teams are confirmed (with any luck, there will hopefully be seven as in the original Game 2), it just remains to discuss the map settings and other options for the game, and then the game itself will begin shortly afterwards.

We have already contacted an interested host (Elucidus), though we will welcome any other volunteers to act as "backup" hosts, just in case (for whatever reason) Elucidus cannot continue hosting.

Teams: Please reply to this topic to let us know that you are here. Feel free to also make any early suggestions about map settings which you would like to have. For simplicity's sake, I'll make a list here of several default map settings which we can change if there is a majority vote.

Suggested Map Type: One land mass (regardless of shape) - allows for early contact and diplomacy, which makes for a more interesting game.
Suggested Map Size: Standard (seems to work fine for seven players).
Suggested Mods: Use NO mods, just normal BTS.
Suggested Options: Open for debate, but I suggest leaving most options turned off.
Suggested Difficulty: Monarch (seems to work well, technology pace is not too fast and not too slow)

Any comments, then as always - feel free to post!

I'd be willing to be a backu-up/lurker. My doesn't handle BtS well enough to play it every day.

Ask robboo and BCLG100

 

[BCLG100]

I'd play, perhaps the pitboss format would make for more participation due to the speed of the game.

 

[1889]

I'm not really intereted either so thats 1 maybe and 2 lurkers...maybe. Emperor seems to think the game will start very soon so I told him that CFC is not ready to make a team. However I encourage anyone interested to join one of the other six teams even just to lurk. I think it would be good if more PBEMers got familiar with the pitboss format.
