There have definitely been some very different tactics from some of the other teams.
SGOTM 04 - Geezers
- Thread starter AlanH
- Start date
Well, then it is your task now to teach her not to mess with a Geezer.
Would it be worth it to change civics to be able to whip ? I think drafting will not be that important any more.
yeah...I just got on to tell you guys I couldn't get it until Monday and that I needed a swap.
The wife had different plans for me this morning before we left for the airport...little things like packing, laundry, dishes...the usual stuff that interefere's with Civ. Anyway...because of that I couldn't play today...I did however get some more of the spoiler written.
Next time don't let me volunteer for it...I pre-emptively nominate Sam, as his spoiler in SGOTM1 was good, and timely lol. If this one turns out good, I might consider doing it next time...I'll just need to make myself write it as the game goes, like I said I would lol.

I am away for another week and a bıt. Thıs ıs my one and only ınternet access untıl late on 2 July.I thınk Thrallıa should treat the spoıler as though ıt was a school assıgnment and just produce ıt.
I do seem to remember makıng a comment when Thrallıa volunteered so he cannot say he was not warned. 
yeah...I'm doing that on the planes this trip...I just hope my battery lasts long enough to finish it up this time by the time I get back.
And I can't get the game until Tuesday at the earliest...apparently June 25th is a Monday, not a Sunday?

Should I go and play? Too bad I did not do it this week end. But I can play tomorrow if need to. All we need to do is just build up the new lands and survive the old as best as we can.

Yes - let's get this finished. There must only be 30 or so turns left in this game for us.
Are we all up for the new Team Barbarian challenge in the next SGOTM?

Team, I am sorry but I have to replace a co worker in the field tomorrow, so I can not play tonight and may not get back untill late tomorrow. So Thrallia will have to pick it up. I can pick up after Thrallia without delay.
Turn 0(1910AD): I lower science to 0 so we can upgrade our few remaining units prior to a new war declaration on Izzy.
Change build in Vienne from Artillery to Spy(2 turns) for use in scouting Izzy
IBT: Nothing
Turn 1(1911AD): Kill a Gandhi frigate near Ning-hsia. Kill Cavalry near New Sarai. Upgrade Sword, Cannon, Cavalry in Celtia.
Move Spy in Hannibal's lands around...his cities are massive and powerful...oh yeah...he's researching Fusion. He'll finish it in 2 turns. He could finish in 1 if he went to 100% science rather than the 90% he's at right now. He's got 1249 gold and is makign 76 gpt even at 90% science!
I also move our Destroyer in Vienne out into the open sea, in an area where it can give us at least 1 turn's notice of any incoming Gandhi fleets
IBT: Nothing
Turn 2(1912AD): Kill another Cavalry near New Sarai. Vienne Spy>Artillery. Spy moves into Spanish territory.
The AI is definitely more research smart...Hannibal went 100% research and finished off Fusion this turn. Upgraded Cannon, Gren, Archer, other Cavalry.
Izzy has only 3 defenders in Salamanca and Santiago...4 in Birka.
Izzy is researching Plastics right now. @80% science, she will get it in 6 turns...unfortunately for her, I'm declaring war on her right now.
Declare war on Izzy, Conquer Birka, killing 2 Infantry, 2 Artillery, losing 1 Artillery
IBT: Mehmed declares war on us
I'm not sure why, I guess he just really likes Izzy? Anyway...that's not good, I'll try to fight defensively against Mehmed while advancing against Izzy. Gunships become very important though, as Mehmed has Mech. Inf.
Turn 3(1913AD): Kill Spanish Artillery/Cavalry advancing on Bagacum, attack advancing Mehmed SAM and Artillery...lose 2 Infantry.
IBT: Mehmed's troops advance through Izzy's territory..not too bad...hopefully I can convince Hannibal to declare war on him soon.
Turn 4(1914AD): Kill some Spanish troops.
IBT: Ok...too many Mehmed troops are coming now...we could be in trouble
Turn 5(1915AD): Hannibal is willing to declare war on Izzy for 680 gold...hopefully he'll be willing to declare war on Mehmed for cash soon. I've got science at 0% to rack up the money for the bribe.
Kill Spanish SAM, Artillery, Cavalry losing 1 Infantry. Find Seville full of Artillery and tanks
Kill 2 Indian Cavalry near New Sarai
IBT: Mehmed begins approaching Vienne with a number of Marines/Mech Inf/SAMs
Turn 6(1916AD): Kill off some more invaders. Gandhi loses a nother 2 Cavalry, Izzy loses another Infantry and Artillery. Mehmed loses a Cavalry
IBT: We lose 2 Infantry in Birka. Our invading stack against Izzy gets slaughtered by Mehmed...he sent a stack of Mech Inf to attack it...I couldn't see the stack with our Spy...kill 1 Mech Inf, lose 3 Inf, 5 Artillery.
Turn 7(1917AD): Bribe Hannibal to declare war on Mehmed for 1800 gold! That should help us out quite a bit...Hannibal has Modern Tanks, lots of Bombers and Fighters, and can reach Mehmed in a single turn
IBT: Mehmed destroys our remaining garrison in Birka and razes it. Izzy founds Pamplona where the city we razed in our last war was located
Turn 8(1918AD): Mehmed has begun removing his larger stacks from our lands, moving to counter the bigger threat of Hannibal
IBT: Mehmed destroys one of Hannibal's cities up north...Hannibal is about to take Mehmed's city on our original continent
Turn 9(1919AD): Mehmed lands a large force next to Durnovaria...which has no defensive bonus thanks to Gandhi. I move 1 tank, 3 Artillery, and 6 Infantry toward Durnovaria to defend it...half of them will get there next turn.
IBT: We kill a single Cavalry and lose our tank and 4 Infantry defending Durnovaria...Mehmed razes it.
Turn 10(1920AD): I've done nothing this turn...Mehmed is in trouble, as I've seen probably 20 Modern Tanks and assorted other troops leave Hannibal's lands...but he doesn't seem to care and is continuing to attack us.
Summary: I may have screwed us up royally. I have no idea why Mehmed declared war on us...we could have taken out Izzy fairly easily without his interference. Now though, we are stuck fighting a highly uphill battle. We've got to defend well enough, long enough against Mehmed for him to decide to peace us.
On the other hand, at most, we have 20 turns left before Hannibal launches. He's building both the Engine and Stasis Chamber right now, with the Engine having 12 turns left till it is built. We will survive because we are safely tucked away on our original continent, but our Celtic lands are falling faster than I expected an AI to be able to conquer us.
On a side note...Gunships are not very effective at all against Mehmed, as Mech. Infantry are apparently considered gunpowder troops, not Armored troops. I've got no suggestions for the next turnset other than to peace Mehmed at any cost.
edit: Weird...apparently I played 11 turns? I don't think I did, cause I took detailed notes, but the save I submitted says 1921AD...maybe I accidently hit enter on turn 10 before saving. In any case...Celtia looks pretty bleak right now.

Hi all, back from a nice holiday with my family. Looks like we are wrapping up nicely.
Not at all... and here is why...
In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter too much what we do... just have fun playing out the rest of the game.

And are we up for SGOTM5? I can't bear trawling through the signup sheet to see if you are there.
I signed up. I'm sure Sam and mark are up for it if they remember where their vanilla discs are
I'd like us all to go for it, but I don't know if Jenarie knows where her disc is yet...by the way, how's your head doing, Jenarie? Haven't heard from you since then, so hopefully you are just recovering?
I'm gonna be trying my hand at creating a mod in Beyond the Sword too...gonna take a stab at a Star Trek mod based on the Final Frontier scenario. That shouldn't interfere with SGOTMs though...it'll likely just delay my QM entry even further lol

I'm ok but won't have a Vanilla disk until I move again which has been delayed indefinately.
It took me asking to speak to a manager to get my police report which I finally got today - one day short of two weeks after the accident. Then when I try to call the person's insurance they've never heard of her. So the person at fault - who actually got cited for the accident - probably isn't insured. So basically I'm stressed out and frustrated and have no drivable car but to look at the bright side at least I'm not having headaches anymore.

Got it.
Played it.
Lost 2 workers and many units in Celtia. Founded Bjørgvin. We are barely hanging on. I almost went back for old viking cities but behaved.
Session Turn Log from 1921 AD to 1930 AD:
I think that was my last turn set for this game.
