Just had a quick glance at the save.. Yep def go for it. Combat promotions on knights and we should take the city easily.

Knights are immune to first strikes as well so that should help the situation.

Ronnie1 · Sep 26, 2014

Aj, nocho, sleepless, h1 all say go! With me thrown in, that makes 5!

nocho · Sep 26, 2014

Oh, the suspense, the agony!

Ronnie1 · Sep 26, 2014

We have won and completed all of the goals!

We did get into the elephant stack, 1 unit unused.

Excellent news!

I am guessing that Victoria did whip an additional longbow? In my tests without an additional whipped defender we only got into the elephant stack once. Tests with an additional whipped defender got into the elephant stack more often than not.

Can't wait for official confirmation from the admins. I am very curious to see what has been discussed in the lurker thread, and how the other teams have progressed.

x-Bow was the new unit produced.

Interesting. More expensive than the longbow, and actually worse as a defender in this case since we were attacking entirely with mounted units so the anti-melee bonus was worse than an LB's inherent city defense bonus would have been. Silly AI. :lol:

And it already had a mace and an axe, so it wasn't like it was lacking in anti-melee units. :crazyeye:

Can't wait for official confirmation from the admins.

I have seen your post. I am checking your save now. But to be honest I'm not sure about the right protocol for the end

Please wait for Deckhand or Alan to respond.

Congratulations!

Deckhand · Sep 26, 2014

Congratulations! You are First to Finish :trophy:

You can now read other team posts but don't post in them :eek:

.
You can also read/post in the lurker thread. Of course your posts there will indicate that you have finished. You have set the date to beat.

I played your final turn last night. The winning save doesn't show up on the progress page. AlanH is busy in real life, so I need to wait for him to look at your final save. But I see in the log that you gifted Rome and razed Coventry.

:goodjob:

OK, looked at the save for more detail. One turn's delay would allow us to bring an additional 13 knights to attack Victoria's last city.

How do you get 13? I could only count 7 or 9. (edit, 5 in galleons, 2 in Canterbury, and 2 on iron)

BSPollux · Sep 26, 2014

65Temples+2GP=73 -> Check
You own 5HC and two are destroyed -> Check
2religions per city -> Check
Won game (not by conquest) -> Check

But the save shows two Romans and none is your vassal..?
Didnt you upload?

edit: ok Deckhand, didnt know the last doesnt show

edit2: now i realy have to update the turnsets! Aaaarrrr

Sleepless · Sep 26, 2014

Well done all... :goodjob:

ChrisShaffer · Sep 26, 2014

Congratulations. It's been a pleasure to observe your thread.

I will have to go back and recheck the save to recount. But there were the units in galleons (sail into Canterbury and then move the units), the units in Canterbury, and if I recall correctly there was a stack NW of the elephant trio. That stack could not reach Coventry due to the hill the elephants were on, but with an additional turn they could have.

Edit: Rechecked, and you are right. 9 additional knights. I must have double-counted one of the groups. :hammer2:

Still enough to make waiting one turn pretty much a guarantee of taking Coventry. Fortunately we did not need them.

Congrats to us, and well done everyone

adrianj · Sep 28, 2014

Awesome! Thanks everyone for playing. You guys do all the hard work while I sit back and enjoy the show

I'm off to read the lurker thread - first impression is that Pollux has done a great job of summarising. I might not even need to do my own version. :coffee:

haphazard1 · Sep 28, 2014

Congratulations to all members of the team! It has been a lot of fun playing this SGOTM with all of you.

adrianj, Pollux has done a lot of great work summarizing. If you see my recent comments, there are a few things I am interested in determining for each team. So if you spot some info, maybe note it in the thread?

- When did each team first get a religion in one of their cities?
- When did each team realize that Astronomy was needed to reach the Taoist holy city?

Deckhand · Oct 12, 2014

I found the links to the final submission and checked your save for goal accomplishment.

Only you (or your vassals) may own a Holy City. - 5 owned, 2 Razed
Bring them together! - Each of your cities has at least two religions. - Met There are at least seventy temples in your cities. Each Great Prophet settled in your cities counts as four temples. - Temples = 65, settled Great Prophets = 2
Promote Equality! - You must adopt and stay in Free Religion upon learning Liberalism. - No Liberalism (Nor Education)
End the madness! - Each nation can only have one free leader. At least one leader of each nation has to be eliminated or be vassalized." - Free: 1 English, 1 French, 1 Roman
Prove that you are a worthy ruler! - You win the game in any way but conquest. - Domination turn 177 1170AD
