Notes to next player
1) May want to rush the settler in Iri now that it is size 3 (I should have done it last turn)
2) Same in Taegwon next turn when it hits size 3
3) Celts are settling the tundra island, that was the direction I was going to take the settlers but there is still room on our current island for them
4) Econ is due in 2, Copernicus is due in 7 we are the only ones building it / the Sistine build could be switched to Smiths
5) We need more knight and a larger fleet to go after EGY or anyone - our military is thin
6) Almost half our military is workers - we could join some of our native workers to cities, but we are getting close to Steam so I would hold off until we are done RR'd
7) Need to start a prebuild for Newton's possibly in Seoul when Copernicus completes
8) I did not gift techs, wanted to complete Copernicus first
9) I had gather some of ships & troops together in case we meet EGY and need to send some troops across fast

Just to pass the word onward, Misfit will be out for the next 7-10 days due to the passing of his father.

I'm glad we kept the AW EGY and would welcome another game w/ pre-1500 launch as a goal.
@Misfit, I would be sorry about misnaming the save file if your reply wasn't so funny. But seriously, sorry for the confusion.
Of my other two SG's one is interesting and other has reached the point where the outcome is known but not the date of when we kill off the last Civ. Since it's a huge map the turns are taking forever.

I see Row got the notice about Mistfit. I just updated his other 2 SG's.
@jb - Huge maps make for very long turns later in games especially if there is a lot of warring. Good thing about the builder portion of our game is right now the turns don't take long to play. It took me longer to keep my notes than to play the game
. If this one starts to become tedious we can add some additional flavor by adding a 2nd victory condition.

Update
As you have heard my Dad passed away this last Saturday Evening. On Sunday I flew out to Portland, Ore to arrange his funeral. I am staying at my brothers home and he has an Internet connection (albeit a slow dial-up). I will pop in now and again when I have the chance. Thanks for your condolences and warm thoughts. I plan on being back to Michigan sometime between Friday and Sunday. Please put me on auto skip until that time.

It's a huge map w/ conquest as the only victory condition. We're commie, at war w/ probably 4 to 5 civs, have ~450 units and plenty of landmass. We've finally started automating workers. Getting to this point was fun but now it's getting close to being just a chore.

@rrau, good job on your personal best in COTM05. The resource placement made it a tougher start.
@DJMGator13 - thanks. It's been an interesting summer/fall civ-wise. I started out the summer only winning about 50% of regent games and now feel fairly comfortable on most emperor games. I'm still working on my war skills as on emperor, as that aspect seems to fall apart on me in the middle ages.

I hate to do this, but I'm going to need a skip, as RL is getting too busy. I definitely wouldn't meet my own time limit of 72 hours.

Detlef has sent me a PM stating the he can play on the weekend. rrau, if you can swap and play now, that we be good (as opposed to just playing now & skipping Detlef). If you can not play now, we'll wait for Detlef, as his coming up early was due to my skip.
Preflight (870ad)
Rushed settler in Iri

Rushed settler in Tokch'on
ibt:
Namp'o knight => knight
Inch'on university => knight
Pyongsong aquaduct => university
Tokch'on settler => library
Taegwon settler => library
Sokch'o rax => market
Iri settler => library

turn 1 (880ad)
can't lower sci slider. Econ due in one
upgraded a galley to a caravel
started settlers on their travels
ibt:
Learn Economics, start on chemistry in 6
We get a second story on our E palace wing
Celts starting Copernicus
Celts built SunTzu's
turn 2 (890ad)
Switch Pusan from Sistine's to Smith's
upgrade 2 more galleys
Settle Kumgang
We're getting ready for some cities to really become unhappy. Trade Maya Education, Wines, Silks for Incense and 9g
Can't lower lux slider, but don't have to increase it either.
Trade silks to Celts for 75g + 8gpt
Others won't offer more than 3 gold for our extra wines
ibt: barb horse appears out of fog
turn 3 (900ad)
kill barb horse and found their camp
ibt:
Haeju library => worker
turn 4 (910ad)
Dispersed Sakae encampment
upgraded 2 more galleys
ibt:
we lost our supply of dyes
turn 5 (920ad)
found Oijongbu (say that five times fast)
Rushed library in Namwon (need to get a worker out and get connected)
Trade Celts banking for Dyes, Music Theory, 39g and 18gpt (the celts are shaping up to be a good trade partner)
Increasing sci slider won't get us chemistry any faster
ibt:
Namwon library => worker
turn 6 (930ad)
Rushed library in Hamhung
Settled hyangsan => worker
ibt:
Seoul Copernicus's => university
Wosan aquaduct => university
Cheju university => temple
Kaesong harbor => courthouse
Sariwon harbor => courthouse
Hamhung library => settler
turn 7 (940ad)
lowered sci slider to 40%, still get chemistry in 1
There's a Greek ship in our waters off the N island
Moved a couple knights to pace the ship as it's heading towards some undefended cities
ibt:
Greeks landed troops by an undefended town (Suwon)
Learned Chemisty started physics (due in 4)
Namp'o Knight => knight
Paegam University => rax
turn 8 (950ad)
Demanded Greeks leave our territory or declare war. They declared war
Moved 2 knights into Suwon (I think I'll let them attack as they have a hoplite with them and are on a hill and combat calculator gives less than 50% chance of winning)
Used some of our accumulated gold (had over 1000 in the treasury) to rush University in Seoul so it can start a prebuild for Newton's
Also rushed courthouse in Suwon (now I hope we don't lose the town*crosses fingers*)
Lost one caravel vs a Greek galley
Killed a greek galley and redlined a caravel
ibt:
archer killed a knight in Suwon
turn 9 (960ad)
Rushed a library and switched a couple libraries to raxes and rushed
ibt:
Greeks are pulling their wounded archer and the hoplite N (I think to fortify and heal on a hill)
Lagash market => rax
Hangsan University => rax
Taejon market => rax
Haeju worker => musket
Tokch'on library => musket
Taegwon rax => musket
Iri rax => musket
turn 10 (970ad)
now that the Greeks aren't next to a town, I take a chance and attack the hoplite, lose a vet knight but he redlined the hoplite
Attack hoplite with elite knight, wins but no promotion
Attack 3/4 archer with vet knight, win with loss of 1 hp, no promotion
notes:
I've started a chop which should go to the Haeju musket that's building (will be a regular so might want to switch to a rax instead)
There's a couple Greek boats off the coast that haven't landed any troops yet, I killed the one that had landed troops and the Caravel is healing in Tokch'on
I think Greece is entwined with Egypt so might just have a defensive war for now, otherwise we would end up with a 2 front war.

No specials at all:
980: nothing
990: Pyongyang builds bank, next Leo's
greece lands 4 units near Suwon
i killed 3 and damaged 1 hoplit to 1hp (for the loss of 1 knight)
finished physics -> gravity
1000: egypt finish Leo's, i changed to J.S.Bach
1010: nothing
1020: nothing
1030: finished gravity -> metallurgy
1040: Keltia trading: navi+world+50g <-> chemie
1050: killed 2 greece archer near Suwon
1060: nothing
1070: finished metallurgy -> military tradition
killed 1 hoplit and 1 archer
no losses and some elite knights
Namwon has a flip chance of 0,13 (need 4 units).
I started to build more knights, we should also build some arty.
