[Andronicus]

2 more rounds of 10 turns - any takers?

 

[juballs2001]

sounds good - I will complete after you posted unless absent friends would like 1 last hurrah

 

[juballs2001]

alright, i pressed enter 10 times....

basically
ghandi bombed and bombed, he took one city on the island to the east of his continent and burned the rest.
10 turns left, nothing gained on the spaceship front for ghandi.

 

[juballs2001]

@ andro... you take it.

you have been the backbone of the team! you finish the mess we started lol

and gte back to us on whether or not giving ghandi the aluminum earlier could have solidified a spaceship win for him..

once again, its been an honour guys, see most of you in SGOTM10 i hope

 

[Andronicus]

Will finish this off tonight folks unless someone wants to grab it first - I'll post my got it when I'm about to play so if someone feels they're missing out they have about 7 hours

 

[Khan_Asparuh]

Just so you know it, the thread isn't completely dead... I'm around too. Go on finish it, and we'll see what happens with the other teams.

 

[Andronicus]

Got it

Will launch into space

 

[markh]

Go captain. Get us to alpha centauri.

Great game with this team. Lot of fun and let's see how we will finish in the competition. Hope to see you all in the next one.

 

[Andronicus]

[Andronicus]

Abegweit, juballs, Khan and markh - thanks guys - we tried

Time for a few

Also time to go check out the other threads - before looking my thoughts are we did reasonably OK until 1615AD when we kicked Gandhi off Spain. If I can find a save prior to that I might try and see if letting him have Spain and getting earlier aluminium may have been successful.

Admit I got frustrated later in the game

If anyone interested in seeing the final turn I saved the turn before victory

 

[markh]

I have seen that on the results page we are still at 2040. Andronicus, could you submit the final save ?

All in all the game was a very funny idea. A completely new approach to the game.

Will have some of this tonight.

 

[Andronicus]

@ markh

The final save is kept hidden from the results to supposedly hide the victory date preventing later teams from aiming to beat that date

In this particular scenario it has little relevance

I did submit the save

 

[juballs2001]

hey yo guys...

civ 4 sgotm is a go!

wondering how many of you are in for a game at that level.

i am already signed up... any of you guys want in it would be greatly appreciated

 

[Abegweit]

Admit I got frustrated later in the game

Yeah. Me too, and I want to apologise for not living up to committments I made back when it was less frustrating.

Gyathaar is imaginative and intelligent. Unfortunately it seems that his ideas seem to work out badly in practice. Undoubtably this is because the AI is utterly incapable of dealing with either imagination or intelligence.

Still... he deserves credit for trying, futile as the attempt ultimately turned out to be.

 

[juballs2001]

bump bump guys... any of you interested in SGOTM1 for civ 4?

im in it and havent seen any of your names.

also... register for SGOTM10 for civ3. me and abegweit are the only two signed up for hagar so far

 

[Abegweit]

markh has also signed up. Like you, he wants to change the name. I'm perfectly happy with the old name but if I'm certainly open to new ideas...

Edit: as for civ4, if you can get the team to come along I'll join. Otherwise I think I'll pass, thank you.

 

[markh]

I have civ 4, but I got it running only a few days ago. Still I am not sure whether it runs stable now and I have not finished a single game, so I think it is a little too early for me to play a CIV-SGOTM.

 

[Andronicus]

no civ 4 for me - there's precious few hours left for RL with civ 3 as it is
agree req new name appropriate to the SG, perhaps someone else should select it this time?

 

[Abegweit]

Andronicus! Good to see you're back.

This game looks like it should be fun. Let's roll!
