Regent level training game Civ3 (not PTW)

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

infoman: that is pretty much what I'd thin best: pick off the weakest that gives us somehting we can use, then (when we have advanced enough arms) the rest of our island....

 

[infoman]

did we attack the Babs before taking out the russians? I know that the Babs only had two cities but they were on another island. Now the Indians or someone else will take them out and then we will have to take them out and will probably be much stronger than the Babs are or were.

Where's vetinari? I want to go up, I think we should abandon our poorly placed cities once we take our island and rebuild them in better spots.

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

it seems we are down to 3 players.....

next one: go! (have we followed the tunr order?)

 

[Smurf]

Ok.. IMO kill can'tpronounce. We lose one floodplain and a few reg plains, but gain lots for strat. We should move corona to the yellow spray, KIEV to either magenta and can'tpronounce to either green spray. We still have some overlap, but TOTALLY REMOVING 3 cities will hurt our production. We should think about a central FP and then palace move via leader, if we plan on domination or conquest. Xsin, go ahead and take your turn.

dumb attachment was giving me crap and the uploads is strange too
it should be http:\\[url]www.civfanatics.net/uploads3/cityfixes.jpg[/URL]
www.civfanatics.net/uploads3/cityfixes.jpg
as an img

but of course none will work

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

what a crazy idea - moving size 8 cities! and the new can'tpronounce would overlap with Athens (which will be ours eventually).....

Everybody seems to get mad at me for trying to take out the babs. Here are my reasons:

We would get jaguar warriors in my turn. That would give us a significant advantage over everybody else, so I decided to delay the battles on our continent until then.
We had troops standing around that did't upgrade to anything (swords)that we needed to get rid of.
The babs only had two cities and looked easy.
they had a luxury resource that could have helped with our happiness problems.

The problems:
i didn't wait for the second galley - the first just went up and declared war, which I now know shouldn't have happeneed.
They had many men -- I killed about 5 with the 6 troops I brought, losing 3.

I thought it would be easy, it wasn't. I was rather used to having the tech advantage on regent.

re. Beijing, the turn the chinese declared war, there was one spearman in there. I think I was sending something else. Anyway, three horsemen came against it, which couldn't be stopped.

P.S. probably faulty late night reasoning, but it wasn't done for no reason.

yep, late night Russia would have been the target of choice here.

ans as you said: you should have waited for the secod Galley (or third)......

Who's playing? and about moving can't, athens is giving us no benifits as is. The most we could get out of it(by capture) is a wonder that is obsolete or useless, because we didn't make it, and a granary. Not worth it, we can raze+replace at will imo. And in the process of moving, make a settler from the to be moved city, found the new city and let it get built up before disbanding the other one.

 

[XSin]

Got it, but I can't play until tomorow

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

If we disband Athens we have to continue this further south.... disband, disband, disband....

not good, I think, since we should soon be able to take over the entire Grrek Civ - no flip risk - and can then keep the cities. It just costs production and time

 

[Smurf]

Xsin your 48 are OVER. Infoman go ahead unless Xsin posts before you begin play. Strict 24/48 in effect, people.

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

is there anyone left besides smurf???????




game closed!

 

[RRnut]

I'm still here, but I rather lost interest on this game. The reasons:

I'm still here, but I rather lost interest on this game. The reasons:

I'm already playing Monarch and am getting near to finishing my first two games on that -- after one on regent.
I didn't get the start of this game, so I never really got attached to it.
I didn't do too well on my one turn, perhaps not enough attention.
It wasn't really my style game -- which is building.

So, close is fine by me.
It was nice playing,

Hi guys,

I mostly play at regent and really need training. Hence my interest in your thread. I've been lurking almost since the beginning. I would like to fill in for some of your absentees if you will have me.

RRNut: I too am more of a builder so I'm really interested in playing this game to get better at War. It seems that war is a vital part of Civ III no matter how peaceful you are by nature. I would also have been a little discourage after your last turn, not because play wasn't optimal but because the teammates were a little harsh. (Profanity lends such gravity to potential constructive comments.) Especially since this is a "Training Game". But as soon as Russia is taken out there will be a rebuilding time and you can show everyone how its done

What do you guys say?
XSin (MIA)
Infoman (MIA)
RRNut <up now
Smurf <ondeck
Vetinari (MIA)
Control (willing Sub)

 

[RRnut]

I'll continue if somebody else does.

*hangs head in shame* Hello all. I guess you're kinda angry at me now.... I'm really sorry that I had to abandon the game, and that I didn't give any notice.

The reason for my doing this is that I had to watch my parents' house when they were abroad, and while they do have a computer,it turns out that their internet doesn't work, and I don't have civ installed there anyway. So I haven't been online at all for several weeks now, which felt really wierd.

Again, I'm really terribly sorry for whatever inconveniences I have caused, especially since this was my first SG ever.

 

[ControlFreak]

Does that mean you're back now Venitari? If you are then RRNut should play!
