Agree with academy ... afterall, it does give +4 :culture:

. We need MC for triremes. And we need a lot more than one

Ozbenno · Mar 29, 2009

But we only need one to start an invasion of whoever we go after next (Ragnar?)

GreyFox · Mar 29, 2009

Well, two school of thoughts. We can either go for the most powerful/advance one to slow it down, or we can go for the nearest civ since they pose the greatest threat.

But I feel that at the end of the day, since we would be tied to 3 cities only, we have to rely on strong defense (esp naval) -- the idea of oppressing enemies' growth wouldn't work here, since we can't possibly reach all the AI in time for supression to work. I suspect we are already too late even for nearest HC.

With our CR2 troops and pults and Noble difficulty, we should be on extermination path, not containment. Let's grow some cojones here hey.

I think Ragnar is closest and pointiest.

Right! Which way do I face? Totally confused here. BTW: I can play tonight but I cannot play any time from Tuesday to Monday next week.

LURKER: A divine engineer is never late, nor is he early. His report arrives exactly when he means it to.

Take it ruff. I can only play tomorrow onwards.

Hmmm, I have no memory of this game.

·Imhotep· · Mar 30, 2009

Then take the left way, Ozzy. It's time we climbed up again.

ruff_hi · Mar 30, 2009

Opps - I played 16 turns. Is that too many? Anyway, I found a nice place to stop ...

Tech research finished: Alphabet

But first ... for those of us that cannot remember this game ... Well, here is an overview for you ...

Spoiler :

And here is an overview of our 3 cities ...

Capital

Gems

Copper

Tech wise ... I finish MC, knock out Meditation so ...

Yes, we can lightbulb philosophy after we finish alphabet ... lucky I played thru to finish it

But it wasn't all research and skittles ... I progressed our adventure against the vikings ... I build another galley and moved all of our catapults (4) and some of our doggies (4) down to the viking city with iron ... the only iron they have (I think)

Edit: dang it - I got those two list of units round the wrong way ... the 2cats+2dogs are next to the city with the other 2 dogs in support (1 tile NE).

The bi-stad got lucky on the last turn and killed 2 of our cats ...
While defending in Viking territory at Birka, Catapult loses to Viking Chariot (0.80/4) (Prob Victory: 64.7%)
While defending in Viking territory at Birka, Catapult loses to Viking Chariot (0.64/4) (Prob Victory: 69.7%)

So - there you go ... do you feel up to date?

Spoiler log :

Oh ... and 1 more thing ...

How many turns until we have elephants available? And what about those dyes for extra happy?

And 1 more, more thing ... we got the negotiated peace deal which I say 'sure' so we had peace with Mensa for about 2 seconds

.
ROTQM7 (Native America) and Huayna Capac (Inca) have signed a peace treaty
ROTQM7 (Native America) declares war on Huayna Capac (Inca)

And another thing ...
Contact made: Persian Empire

GreyFox · Mar 30, 2009

Great set. Although I think getting the academy might be slightly better, but fine enough to get Philo ... provided the associated religion is still be available -- choose one which is associated to copper.

Seems like we move out too soon against Mr I-Have-Two-Horns-Viking. Need spears or Phants (just one more culture pop at Aksum -- the dyes on the other hand, will be online a millenium later :sad:

).

Is the Colossus still available? Good to nab it.

Religion @ philo still available
Colossus - unknown - don't think so
losing 2 65% (ish) battles was pretty tough - thought I had it covered ... dogs to protect against melee, cats to protect against chariots
have spear in production - due in 5
that said - that spear is not going to make it to the iron city as I expect Mr Iking man to lose that city in 1 or 2 turns

-- Happy birthday, Pholky! -- [party]

Ozbenno · Apr 1, 2009

Happy birthday you cranky old dear!

·Imhotep· · Apr 1, 2009

Well, well, here we go. Happy Birthday to the good ol' pholkherina! To celebrate this, our GS bulbs Philosophy and nets us our 4th religion.

Philosophy is Greek by the way, meaning love of wisdom. At least the pedia says so.

Christianity is founded in Gondar.

The Colossus is BIDL just as we finish the Forge...

As a little revenge we whack the city of Mr. Two Horn.

But he sports HAs now, and our troops therefore retreat into the woods. We'll have to wait for Spears and some more Catas...

So much for my 15. We have a GG, I've shipped him to our Cap.

:egypt:

Diamondeye · Apr 1, 2009

Lurker: Looks like you're doing fine! And happy birthday, Pholky!

GreyFox · Apr 1, 2009

Looking good. Too bad abt Colossus. It would have been nice.

The attack part should probably wait until we can produce elephants. Aksum is gonna take another 33 turns to expand, a bit long, but once some temple or library comes on line, that should be shorten by quite a bit.

So we now have 4 religions? :clap:

At least we got one where its cathedral depends on copper. Let's try to spread the religions around (esp Gondar needing our state religion for OR boost), while we wait for phants to come on line.

Tech wise, the Sistine Chapel is the next most important wonder to grab, so let's gear towards Music (and try to grab that free artist) after CS. I think following the Aesthetics > Drama route should be okay.

2 of our 3 cities are at or exceed health cap ... so maybe it is time to pasture the sheep?

nice progress.

I've got it, and may even really and truly play and post tonight! I'll need to reread a bit to get a better idea of what to do next (hold in the woods; concentrate on religion spread; and culture out the asssss-cot sweater).

I hate you guys.

I'll
