SGOTM5 - Team Smackster

[dmanakho]

Looks like Jeffelammers have the same problem we had in SGOTM3...

They counting points and score and arguing how to get higher score.

Must have forgotten it is all about the fastest finish only.

There is no doubt now we are not getting laurel...
Klarius pulled another 10 brilliant turns and team offa only handful of turns from victory.

Yes I knew we were in trouble when they had two skips and Klarius came up. I think they can win in 5, and we would have had to be perfect to win by that date.

In retrospect.....
It probably was better to research towards MT and totally skip researching
Feud.,Mono.,Chiv....
But rather doing Eng.,Inv., Gunpowder,..., MT
We could probably be better off jumping from horses to cossacks, getting golden age and finishing the game there.

I am sure next game will be totally different in terms of map and strategies...
But i guess we will have to spend an extra cycle on doing math before making a final decision.

Good job anyways. I still believe we will be the second team this time around.

Well it was a close finish staying with Knights. So I don't think there is anything wrong with our tactic. I personally never skip Kinghts as it takes too long waiting for MT to start the major offensive. On any other game level I would certainly have pushed for Chivalry then MT.

@Smackster: Do you want to post our final save. I guess, we don't need to withhold anymore

 

[smackster]

Its posted. Remember that it wont show until all games are finished.

Reading the other threads, most teams think we have finished about 15 turns ahead of our actual finish

Whoops that was me, logged in for a 7 year old, we are playing an SG with some kids if you didn't already know.

Its pretty funny, playing Age of Discovery conquests, trying to explain why Spain can't research Protestanism to a 7 year old.

I've been lurking that thread since it started.

Except for klarius, who have an exceptional ESP ability. In every SGOTM he have been dead on what we are doing...

 

[Tarkeel]

Looks like a very good effort by all of you, despite my sudden absence in the middle of it With some luck, I should manage to stick around for the next one

 

[dmanakho]
