here are my notes:

Spoiler :

1120 BC(T72): Switch build to Mid in cap and Hire an Engineer. Workers start farm, road, 1 turn of cottage for Cap and start chop. Move 1 warrior to fid a barb warrior on the proposed city site. Grrrrrr.

IBT: Barb Warrior Kills our warrior. Grrrrrrrr

1080 BC(T73): Axe kills the warrior. Coast seem clear, All AI are annoyed at us.

IBT: Vijay expand.

1040 BC(T74): 2 chops in. Settler party move to tile. Fishing done. Start Writing @ 50% scince for 5 turns(no rounding loss>38/2=19). Worker pasturing the Pigs. All three AI are placing 1 esp points on us it seem.

IBT: Zzzzzz

1000 BC(T75): Founded Pataliputre SW of gold and start WB. Scince to 0%. Send FW to chop the WB. Well I am wrong about the espi points. Hamura placed 1 ept, Toku 3 ept and Hati +5(????? it went from 30 to 35) How can he place 5 ept?

IBT: Zzzz

975BC (T76): Ok the ept is correct. 1, 3 and 5 ept is being placed on us. How can that be? Did hattigava get a GSpy already to build a Spy academy? Moving an axe and the warrior NW. Gold city is starting started and axe and working a new farm. Scince to 100%.

IBT: Zzzz

950BC (T77): Axe kill a warrior. Nothing more. Espi points are correct.

IBT: Zzzz

925BC (T78): Writing in and starting Math at 50%. BTW, the Espi points are still correct. Crap....All Ai have 4 cities now. I can smell the smoke of burnt down cities. Axe healing and switch axe and warrior.

IBT: Zzzz

900BC (T79): Chop done for WB. Crap part 2. Hatigava got another city:5 total. I do not like this. Can whip Mids for 3 pop but no.

IBT: Zzzz

875BC (T80) WB done. Wkr start farm and gold mine for Patali. Another farming for Vijay. No one completed the Mids and it is due IBT. I am done for the day. Oh yeah. Hamigava has his city 5 now. Grrrrr.

BTW we may want to delay Vijay growing in 2 turns since the Granary is due in 3. I added a settler to the capital builds.

Good Luck!

Haka in the snow, brrrrr......

edit - ooopps, didn't see the next page.

 

[Cactus Pete]

Good show, Htadus.

Better the AI spammed cities than soldiers.

Concur . . . delaying granary probably optimal.

 

[Mad Professor]

Good show, Htadus.

Agree with that.

Better the AI spammed cities than soldiers.

Agree with that too - for now. We need to bang a few heads before the city spamming has full effect though

 

[leif erikson]

Nice work Htadus.

Is this a hand over or do you wish to play a few more turns?

 

[Undecided]

Well done Htadus.

Took a quick look at the save. Toku is about to settle his next city on the next turn 3S of corn at osaka.

Toku (and Hatshe) don't have IW. This means we're probably not getting rid of the copper from toku because he picked it up with a city in his backlines.

-edit-

Do we want the GP or the GE first??? Still no religion spread in bombay is unfortunate.

 

[Htadus]

Thanks for kind words. I still have many chances to mess things

Nice work Htadus.

I am handing over since the rest of the week is busy.

Well done Htadus.

Toku (and Hatshe) don't have IW. This means we're probably not getting rid of the copper from toku because he picked it up with a city in his backlines. Except, we can pry it out of cold dead hands

-edit-

Do we want the GP or the GE first??? Still no religion spread in bombay is unfortunate.

You read my mind. Originaly, GE needed to be first. However, with the mids in the capital with a forge to run an engineer, now we want the GP first. So the next player please remove the engineer for 1 turn(only) Then we will get the GP and the GE 10-11 turns later.

Also I think I made a mistake when sending a FW to mine the gold. We should recall him to help complete the farm faster. We will not loose any worker turns.

Gotta get those Cats rolling.

Wondered this myself when I looked at the save.

 

[Cactus Pete]

Won't have any time until Monday or possibly late Sunday to post a plan, but after that should be relatively free. Suggestions solicited.

Is the save posted in #501 an official one that I can download and play from?

Hope your wife is doing well.

Yes, the link is to the server at central.

 

[Htadus]

I second that.

Yes, the link is to the server at central.

Ditto and we can wait for CP since we are a bit ahead of most teams.

Thanks for the good wishes. Better half had respiratory infection with kidney stone kicker -- not fun, but recovering well.

Will be out of touch for a couple of days now.

Glad to hear she is better.

Kidney stones are really not very much fun as I had one last year and it was very painful.

Ouch. Never had a kidney stone but I know how they hurt. Glad to hear she's getting better.

Ok was it just me or did others had trouble logging on to the site for 2 days at the least?

 

[Cactus Pete]

Sorry, have no free time today and will be tied up tonight. Should be able to get on it and post a plan tomorrow.

 

[leif erikson]

Ok was it just me or did others had trouble logging on to the site for 2 days at the least?

The database for the forums were corrupted on Saturday and it took all day to rebuild them. Things are still not right but they are getting things back where they should be. Hoping that the server busy messages stop soon too?

Sorry, have no free time today and will be tied up tonight. Should be able to get on it and post a plan tomorrow.

No problem.

I tried to get in Saturday to post but to no avail. Will try this evening.

 

[zamint3]

Back from skiing, not much snow in Norway and even less snow bunnies

Like the progress.

Looks like barb trouble is over.

We should agree where to put our EP. I would put them all on Hammu because we'll probably have to deal with Toku before we have spies.
