Saving Rome Round1 Hawklord (Rome) v LochNorFarm (Barbarians)

[Hawklord]

324AD
Western Rome
A Frankish raider has been killed in the wilderness First blood
Eastern Rome
Just moving around.

This is the moddified biq where we are in locked alliances. So hopefully we should show combined victory points. I don't know what difference it will make to the lost cities bit, hopefully none. Well we will find out I supose soon enough

 

[LochNorFarm]

Under way. And we're on the modified biq too? So now I get to see how pathetic my victory points are all totaled up, eh? Cool!

Took a shot at that E. Roman city with my Sass horseman... and failed miserably yet again. Why don't I just save the poor guy instead of throwing him to the wolves? You'd think I'd learn someday...

Otherwise just settling, positioning, etc.

 

[Hawklord]

326AD
Western Rome
Celt raider killed in Dunedin
Eastern Rome
Sassanid horse killed outside Nisibis

Well a combined score is the theory, I forgot to look.

 

[LochNorFarm]

Forgot to post earlier. Nothing much going on, just hunkering down my Celts for the gathering storm...

 

[Hawklord]

Western Rome
Celt raider killed in Dunedin
Eastern Rome
Visigoth raider killed

 

[LochNorFarm]

This is terrible. My poor little raiders are running for the hills like scared children from the evil Roman legions. Well, not all of them... Here comes my devastating Celtic invasion!!!

 

[Hawklord]

Western Rome
Spearman killed in Dunedin
Raider outside also killed
Eastern Rome
Moving around

Call that an invasion force

 

[LochNorFarm]

Taunt my invasion force, will you? Deva goes down with 1 spearman killed. But I guess you'll be evening the score soon. Threw another Celt raider at a legionary near Dunedin with the expected result. Made the bugger elite too, just what I need!

Not much else going on. Just battening down the hatches. Whatever that means.

 

[Hawklord]

I'll be unable to play until early next week. Sorry

 

[LochNorFarm]

No worries! My Celt city gets a stay of execution for a week. They're gonna party like it's 1999!

 

[Hawklord]

Western Rome
Dunedin captured
Dulraida Spear killed
Eastern Rome
Arbella Imortal & spear killed
lost 1 legion

Why are the newly started games on the moddified biq when the previously started games are not? It would have been best to wait until the next round before using the moddified biq file. BTW, how do you modify them?

 

[Hawklord]

You use the civ3 editor. The only difference is the way that the scores are added up. At least I think so. It won't make any difference to the game play only the vp's which should be combined for both sides.
p.s. I had changed it before we had to restart and dibdn't want to change it back again for one game.

 

[LochNorFarm]

Legionary killed by immortal near Arbella. Two archers lost to remaining legionaries without inflicting much damage. Otherwise, just waiting for the inevitable onslaught of Roman legions...

[LochNorFarm]

Our Celt capital destroyed? Those evil Romans! We have Celtic pride and we will avenge our slain brothers!!!

Well... we'll avenge them later. Not a single attack in this last turn. Strange. But see, that's all a part of the plan. We're just sitting back and biding our time. Biding and biding...
