RBD18 - The Army Game

Smegged << UP
Sirian << on deck

We need to finish off Persia, secure our continent. And build a fleet. We have, iirc, one transport, two battleships and a carrier.

With all eight luxuries, and 20% entertainment, we're still doing okay in Democracy. Hopefully we can hang on at least through the end of our golden age.

Some ex-Persian-ex-Iroquois towns down south are being callously and ruthlessly starved into submission. Up north in the Persian homeland I've just been razing everything.

Persia has some bombers. Out jet fighters have seen much action :)

Rome (I think) started on the Manhattan Project.

What is the point of a stealth fighter if it can't run air superiority?
 
Up to Sirian. Sirian, if you want to grab the game in the next couple of days, we'll skip Smegged again this round.

I'm not going to be able to play again until next Wednesday (29th). If Sirian and Ozy get their turns in before the weekend, skip me next round.
 
Smegged? Are you intending to play your turn this round?

I have pulled five solid twelve hour days on my assignment, and it's still not finished. I also have another assignment to do before Wednesday. So the answer to that is "no". Unless you are prepared to wait until Thursday/Friday for me to play.

It's cruchtime at uni now. I can't wait until this symester is over.
 
I played eight turns.

* Mopped up remaining Persian colonies, they're locked in their homeland now.

* One great leader, which replaced the one army I lost being overzealous with using wounded armies.

* Picked up two techs, just two left in the whole tree.

* Took us back to Monarchy

Next player needs to play the rest of the inherited turn and perhaps fiddle with tax rates.

Hi everyone,

Sorry I haven't picked this game up yet but due to RL circumstances it looks like I won't be able to play any more succession games. *sigh*

I will be posting this in all threads in which I am participating.

Sorry everyone, but these games have dragged on much longer than I anticipated and the break I had from major projects at work and in graduate school have swarmed in to rob me of free time. :(

Good luck all, I hope I can at least read (while at work rebuilding PC's, etc) of the great exploits that everyone else is able to do... :D

Smegged, any progress? If you can post something by Sunday afternoon (GMT) I can pick it up and play it while I'm stuck in a hotel next week.

<gripe>Was their any reason for them to move the date and user buttons to the bottom of each post, other than to confuse people?</gripe>
 
Jaffa: Have you ever used Kali? This reminds me very much of Jay Cotton and his endless tweaking and reworking of the Kali interface, often when nothing at all was wrong. Jay would move button, change graphics, defaults, options, over and over and over again, seemingly just to have something to be doing. He was never satisfied to let any version stand.

There were changes/versions I liked and ones I hated, but it didn't matter, a new version would come along. You could keep older versions for a while, but eventually he'd change some core code and everyone would be forced to upgrade to continue to use the program. Best $20 I ever spent. Ever. But these guys here at CivFanatics seem to be infected with the same "tweak" itch. Yes, it's confusing and annoying and the changes MAKE NO DIFFERENCE other than to be annoying. But... what are we going to do? It's their house and they've made clear they're not going to stop reordering it any time soon. Like the girlfriend who moves the furniture around once a month, just to have a different look, you have to decide if the annoyance is worth it or if you need to be picking up and moving on. :)

As for smegged, he recently indicated that he is about ready to drop from SG's after the current ones wrap up. This game here is won already, and the only reason to finish it out is for the fun of fitting the last few jigsaw puzzle pieces into place and enjoy the doing of that. If smegged drops, I don't want to swap back and forth between us two on the mop-up. Sometimes mop up can be fun and cool. But if you have your fill, it can also cross over into "chore" and if it does, I'm not sure it's worth pushing through. That time could be better spent on a new game.

If you are of a mind to do so, then whether smegged posts or not, go ahead and grab the game and play as much as you like, even to finish it off. Pushing through Persia has an inevitable result, but it will also take a lot of work to complete and some good planning if it's to be done quickly. Up to you.

Partway through 1814 turn. Persia is a little bit smaller, and Russia volunteered to have all their colony cities on our continent destroyed.

I'm going to be in Alaska and not playing Civ3 now until 25th June. Smegged, Sirian, if you want to pick this up to play some while I'm gone, feel free :) Otherwise I'll carry on when I get back.
