R&L01 - Monarch Space Race

[rrau]

I guess so, but isn't R&L still playing? (while lurking another of his games, I saw where he posted tonight that he was still trying to finish these turns) If he needs a skip, I would give Detlef time to grab it.

 

[jb1964]

Oops!

With R&L posting the roster I read that as a completion of turns. Sorry about that.

 

[RowAndLive]

Will try to finish tomorrow.

 

[Detlef Richter]

I'am here, and i take it after R&L.

Chu-Mong & galleon both have move pts left.
Use leader for ToE, Army in Egypt, or save for future? My inclination is get him back, and use him for ToE, but perhaps we'd be better off saving ToE for more expensive wonders in the MA. (I'm not sure about leaders rushing in C3C).

 

[DJMGator13]

C3C military great leaders can not rush great wonders. IIRC they can be used for small wonders.

I'd go ahead and make another 3 man army since it can be transported in the galleon.

 

[Detlef Richter]

OK, an army against egypt. But where is the Save??

Edit: Sorry, i didn't realize, you played 5 turns.

 

[jb1964]

Have any of our h’wacha's triggered our GA yet?

 

[DJMGator13]

We had our GA earlier in the game, triggered by Wonders.

You’ll need to keep the 2 armies in place to control the kill zones, using the 1 cav for attacks. There are 4 reinforcement cav 8 tiles SSW.

Detlef Richter is UP.

 

[Detlef Richter]

OK, got it.

 

[jb1964]

Please don't just hit return.

I did that on my only other SG game on Friday and paid the price.

 

[Mistfit]

Good catch! Let's just hope he sees it himself or checks the thread before playing.

 

[DJMGator13]

The other thing to watch is as WW sets in, it gets added during the production phase. So cities that were OK the turn before will riot anyway.

This is especially bad if you happen to lose a lux on the IBT. I had a GOTM were 23 cities rioted because I lost my lux deal. I could have cycled thru the cities to hire some clowns but I was well ahead and it only hurt for the 1 turn.

 

[RowAndLive]

I don't recall that those 5-1-6 cities were in revolt when I ended it, and the foreign ones are all populated by taxmen only as they have essentially no production. This definitely could have been from the loss of furs. The Arabs want 2 techs & 2 luxes, IIRC.

 

[jb1964]

Well, my computer's in Ohio so some of our people are probably upset over the election. I'll check when I get home.

 

[RowAndLive]

Detlef,

Any status to offer?

 

[Detlef Richter]

Please give me one more day. I'am nearly to the end.

 

[RowAndLive]

Granted.
