R&L01 - Monarch Space Race

Avatar is a Borg cube. I'm a long time Star Trek fan and my last name isn't too far removed from "Borg".

Yep, that's a picture of me. I was at work when I saw others where having trouble uploading .jpgs and thought I would test it out. If the picture is unsettling or frightening small children I'll remove it. :) It's a shot of me doing some fishing on Lake Michigan. On the other side of the camera my wife, father and two of three children were sea-sick. :vomit:

:) @Misfit, I don't mind the questions one bit.

I grew up in Illinois on the Mississippi river and got my BS and MS from UofI. I was in Chicago that weekend so all the Illini gear came out. Besides, that shirt is synthetic and great for wet/clammy weather. I'm still a huge Cubs, Illini, Bears fan (don't care for Bulls as I'm not a fan of the NBA) and despite living in Cinci since 1989 have not been able to develop and attachment to either the Reds or the Bengals and certainly not Ohio State!

BTW, I'm going to the Cubs vs. Reds game tonight (and Sunday) and will be decked out in blue.

Am I up?
 
I'm not available tonight and am headed out of town for the weekend so please grab it and run.

We never did have the discussion on SGLs, and I don't remember what I ended up doing, but I think they're turned off. We'll just have to see.

@ R&L: Acutally, I already played this round after Detlef Richter and before Misfit, so after DJMGator, we should be back to you :)
 
PreTurn:
Everything looks good. I'm not so sure about the colossus being built this early but hey we'll give it a try.

IBT:
Zzzz...

Turn 1 (2150BC)
Ann roads mined BG
I decide to settle in place, This does not look like a huge land mass and without food bonusses I doubt either of these cities will get to size 21. Sharing 3 tiles should make little difference IMO. Create P'yongyang start on warrior in 5.

Turn 4 (2030BC)
Ann heads NW to BG
Sea Dragon makes the jump back :fingers/crossed/smilie:
Al sees 5 Conscript Khosian Barb warriors in the North - training time :D

Turn 5 (1990BC)
Ann roads the BG
Al Kills his first barb flawlessly and goes Vet
Flying wing notices coast to the south will go back to investigate

Al another Kill -1hp
Flying wind sees a blue border and a goodie hut. This land may be attached to our land mass

IBT
Zzzz...

Turn 8 (1970BC)
Flying wing spots a Reg Sumarian Endiku Warrior in a town called Sumer
Meet Gilgamesh Trade our Alphabet and 145 gold for Ceremonial Burial and Masonry. They show 3 cities and are hooked up to 1 silk. 10 gold in the bank.

Dan Reaches Seoul and the city grows to size 5
Colossus done in 15
Bob heads back towards the homelands.
Al gets fortified for healing
Flying wing scouts along Sumer lands.

IBT
Gil asks us to leave his lands. OK.

Turn 10 (1790BC)
Flying wing scouts
Bob Heads NE
Al needs to heal 1 more turn.

Hand Down Report:
Seoul @ size 5 Growth in 4 Colossus due in 14
P'yongyang @ size 1 Growth in 1 Worker due in 1
Worker needs to connect our two cities, start Rax and chop forest?
I'd pump almost exclusively Units out of P'yong - We will need to boot someone off of our island. My guess is that sumer is on our land.

Very nice job so far team! Sorry for my confusion on the roster before now.
I'm glad to see we found Sumeria. Maybe we can block them into a small portion of the landmass and do a few tech trades before :hammer:.

I don't think the Colossus will trigger our GA. It meets the expansionist and religous requirements while Korea is Scientific and Commercial. I was worried when I suggested building it that it might kick in our GA too early.

I should be able to play & post tomorrow. So post any thoughts for me to look at.
 
I'd use Flying wing to map out our landmass before moving on to the others. I know it won't be with in your turns but once the Colossus finishes Seoul will prolly be pretty close to size 7 so we will need another settler out of it asap. I suggest the spot 1 tile Northeast of the oasis to pull in the fish, sugarcane, and the wine upon expansion. This will also be of good use for blocking the Sumarians from the Mtns.

None of the Area to the north of the Mtns will be settle'able until a bunch of worker turns are completed. I would almost wait and allow the sumarians to settle the area and take it by force.
 
Mistfit have you been a bad boy again? :) I don't see the save file.

That's OK the Gators just got beat and I probably would have declare war on the first civ I saw.
 
There's an ideal tile for blocking the Sumerians.

Notes to next player
1) Colossus completes next turn we need to make a couple of settlers from there to bring the pop back down
2) Flying Wing has a Bgalley trailing it, which should catch it on the IBT
3) Check the settler in Pyong after it grows next turn - corruption may keep it on schedule with growth to size 3 if not it will complete 5 turns early so we should change to something else
4) I have not traded WRIT because I was hoping to meet more people first, but that depends on whether Flying Wing survives

1525BC save

Why CoL instead of philo? Doesn't philo give a free tech?
 
@R&L - if we can manage it (usually do-able at this level), most times you can research CoL 1st then research Philo and then take the expensive republic as the bonus. However, you are running a risk one of the AI's will beat you to phil. I usually don't trade writing as if you pop a hut and can get a tech, it tends to give philosophy. Therefore I'm stingy with trading writing in C3C. (Speaking from experience: once i traded writing 3 turns before learning philo and then 2 turns later the civ I traded it to was the only one who knew Philo and got the free tech :mad: )
 
Thank you for the explanation, which I will chalk up to learning something new every day.

Got it.
