SGOTM 12 - Ivan

[nerovats]

Ivan's right. I'm not used to the alternate ship movement. Troops can be landed in 2, the dromons will arive the 3rd turn, in time to bombard and hope our 3 units are enough. Then turn back and prepare for Mayans. In 10 turns we should be prepared for Maya.

 

[AutomatedTeller]

I am sorry - I expected to be able to play some this weekend, but I have had unexpected guests (a friend of mine had her flight cancelled on friday and isn't able to get out till tonight, despite another 3 hour stand in line yesterday)

 

[nerovats]

Niftan are you continuing?
AT can you play next couple of days, or do you need swap/skip.

 

[AutomatedTeller]

not until the weekend, though I should be able to play then. I am not anticipating a storm stranding a pregnant friend here for 2 days again!!

 

[I. Larkin]

I think we have to move forward. Let nerovats play next 10-12 turns and depending on time AutomatedTeller or glenmetz.

 

[glenmetz]

I'm ready whenever.

 

[nerovats]

I can't play wensday, after that I'm ok.

 

[Nitfan]

Sorry guys I'm on spring break right now and don't have my regular computer/civ disks. I won't be able to play anymore turns until monday. So if someone wants to take the other succession game turns as well that's fine.

 

[AutomatedTeller]

I can take a set. I thought I was going to be in NY now, but I'm not. I should be able to take a set between now and monday, maybe tues next week.

 

[glenmetz]

AT, what brings you to the Wonderful state of NY.

Go Sox, I can almost smell the Fenway Franks and Miller Lite crusted over on the concourses.

 

[AutomatedTeller]

work - we are testing a system we have built for a client down near the world financial center.

gotta love fenway

 

[glenmetz]

Oh, you're not really going to NY. Just the cesspool tax burden of the rest of the state.

 

[AutomatedTeller]

that is true!!

 

[nerovats]

According to roster AT is before me. So lets play. If no one posts a got it I'll play tomorrow, then AT could still play this weekend. If I play, I'll finish Inca and Maya.

Not sure where to go from here. All productive land is taken accept for Rome but they are still strong, we should have Cavalry or better before going there.
Could go after England they seem to have lot of grass for growth. Maybe just best to improves Inca/Maya for now.

 

[glenmetz]

Well done sir, well done. Newts and the FP all in your set. Bravo!!!

 

[I. Larkin]

It is alway a pleasure to read nerovat's turnlogs. We have no newton yet.
And FP next turn.
What do all you think about idea to declre to Romans NOW? We probably will get WH and make MA with Korea and Persia(?).
