SGOTM 01 - Realms Beyond

I'm a little surprised no-one else has asked this yet, is Yaroslavl a viable city at the moment? Or does Moscow completely overwhelm it?
 
With Hatty being creative, I didn't think this would be a problem....
 
But so is Cathy and with a few thousand years to build her culture...
 
Well then, there's only one viable solution for this dilemma .... Cathy must burn :devil:
 
Am I supposed to download the save from the thread here or the results page? The dates in the file names are different and I don't want to screw anything up with the administrative end.
 
:banana: Hi all,

Thanks for letting me come in around page 3 or so. I ended up going on a business trip for 2 days this week that I didn't know was coming so I've been pretty busy. I'm also off again on the 31st for 10 days so I'm going to just lurk and cheerlead for the team. I still want to do SG's but I need to have a little more time.

Go team go! :banana:
 
EL, the save has to be posted to the submission page before you can download your start.

Alright I got the save and I'm gonna take a look at it and see if I can get it finished tonight. I'm assuming that the Acadamey is a high priority and getting some axes ready to take Rostov from Cathy as well.
 
I managed to finish my turns tonight and hope I didn't muck it up too much.

Moscow looks heavily defended so I decided against attacking.

I hurried a lot of stuff towards the end of my cycle. Not sure if this is the best thing to do but I felt that waiting would give Cathy too much time to react. That worker that was hurried is intended to secure the Iron resource outside of Rostov ASAP. 2 more turns until we have a Great Scientist.

Must be zal again then. Good going, guys :)

10 turns a go from now on?
 
Good Set of turns!

Our team is quite structured but we have alot of fun :D

Sorry I forogt to not clutter thsi thread if you have any questions please PM me and I will answer them to my best ability.

In the MeanTime GO Team!!!! (For the SGOTM) :)
 
Hey guys, I'll tonight. Sorry for being incommunicado.
 
Oh, and I figure we'll play 10 a apiece from here. Be warned, the turns might come later tonight. Have we sufficient forces in the mix, etc to take Moscow?
 
I have two chariots a turn or two away from St. Pete's There should also be some axemen in production. I hurried the worker in heliopolis to be used to hook up the iron outside of Rostov.

You may not have enough in place to actually take moscow during a 10 turn run. IMO 6 Chariots won't be enough against 4 archers defending a city on a hill.
 
Ok. Playing now. Gots an idea on how to... knock Moscow down a peg. ;)
