SGOTM7 - Team Obormot

Actually i forgot about the zulu - they are still alive, so americans need 3 votes out of 5 to win. If we eliminate a civ, it'll be 3/4, so it'd be good to do so.
We should try to conquer persia now, when i captured arabia, persians only attacked me with a couple of cavs, it seems that they mostly have rifles. If we settle in former arabia we can bait those rifles out and try to capture the persian cities.
 
Pre-Turn
wow, former Zulu land is almost deprived of units, how to defend
if we want to win this, we need to have some culture, but wartime doesn't allow this...
increase lux to be able to handle unhappiness

IT bombers rip us galleon and frigatte are gone, 4 exposed cannons are gone and Baltimore founded on Zulu land

1. 1530AD
get 4 cannons back and knock tank to 1hp and army takes it out, we have no galleon to bring over our sipahi
nth much to do, try and get Istanbul to 3 turn sipahi

IT the americans can rip us anywhere they like, our army is almost eliminated by bombers and down to 2 hp

2. 1535AD
take out Baltimore with 2 inf and 1 settler, lose a sipahi
cannon manages to knock off 1 hp of the battleship :spear:
ship 2 sipahi and a settler to Zululand

IT american bombers rip a sipahi apart, always fun to watch them

3. 1540AD
yeah, we knock off another hp off the battleship
found Tokat in Zululand
raze Persian town in Zululand but lose a sipahi doing so

IT another galleon is sunk, but I dropped the settlers beforehand (expecting this) and then 4 :smoke: bombers attack a 1 pop town with only
cannons inside, more please.
Persia drops a settler pair just in front of our eyes in Zululand
we add 4 more sipahi to our ranks

4. 1545AD
we need to take some risks, land army in Persian land, where America has settled already
there is actually fur on Zulu Island, a 4th lux for us, just nice

IT 7 bombers again bomb that particular town, major weed

5. 1550AD
we earn some money taking out a barb camp
wow, trebs and 2 cannons knock off health points off the ships, let's hope convoy 1 heads home now
take out 1 inf and destroy Denver in Persian land
since we have furs now, reduce lux and increase science, electricity in 10 now

IT great, it actually worked and that convoys is gone for now, bombers keep on their weedy stuff
and America lands a ToW in India, we add another 3 sipahi to our army (now total of 20)

6. 1555AD
our ancient arty is simply terrific, taking off hp's again and carrier is wounded, let's see what will happen
add another town in Zululand
wipe out Tyre and Persia has 7 towns left
sipahis are really good, wipe out ToW no even losing a unit

IT true enough the 2nd convoy also leaves, no more bombing for now, but a big stack with ToW and tanks is dropped there
Americans start SETI

7. 1560AD
army advances to next town, spot a settler pair, dread to attack that stack
try to defend Delphi instead

IT ToW is defeat in Delhi and then tank takes another undefended town, my bad
well it all doesn't matter anymore since America finishes UN and

the review reveals a funny map, now we can all check what thee others did differently
sorry for letting down the Team, but thanks all for hanging in this really tough game
 
That was a fun game, and it surely nor your fault. There was nothing we could do about the UN, we only had a chance if some civs abstained. Did everybody vote for Lincoln?

The biggest mistake we made (although there were many others) was too slow start - Rat did not joined yet and we were too afraid of AWD and did not build granaries like others, but settlers mixed with military instead.
 
surprisingly everyone voted for them. 4:1, no chnce for us, even though in the replay I could see Vikings and Americans fighting non stop
 
Well, at least we weren't killed off in the first 20 turns, right? ;)

For my first AW game, I think we did pretty well. I think it gave us all some practice with fighting with obsolete units, too, just in case any of us ever are in this situation again (let's hope not, though).

EDIT: Just looked in the spoiler thread. That's one weird map! :eek: No wonder we couldn't find land by heading west.

Here's a suggestion: Would anyone care to finish this? I think we can still "win" if we were to continue. We could continue this game in the SG Forum. Unless you're all tired of this game. ;)
(to be honest, I really just want to see the map for myself :lol: )

Rat, you haven't uploaded the latest save yet, you know. And could you post the save before the vote so we can see the replay?
 
It's not fun to play after we lost the vote for me ;) Well, at least we didn't get the wooden spoons ;) It seems like 2 teams have lost by conquest.
Rat, i think you have to upload the final save for some stats and stuff.
 
It would not be fun for me too, to continue this game. I think we were just too slow in the beginning. We had the chance to conquer India earlier to even out our slow start and get to domination.
If we continue we will win this game anyway. Nevertheless I have learned much during this game and I enjoyed it very much.
I would be pleased to play in this team in the next SGOTM.
 
Rat, you haven't uploaded the latest save yet, you know.
:confused: :confused: :confused:
don't understand, because the first thing even before posting here was to upload the save just before the loss, basically before hitting enter. And, honestly I even got the usual thank you message and that everything has been recorded etc.
How is this possible?

Sorry for that, but am in the office now, will upload it late at night today, I will also provide the link here, no issue.

@AlanH, do you know why my save is not there, though I got the message it is?
 
As much money as the Americans had, I figured they were the tech supplier to everyone, so I wasn't counting on them being at war with anyone else.

Really, I'm just glad it's over and we survived this long. WTH were the Americans, anyway?

edit: Looked in the spoiler threads--unusual map to say the least.
 
The saves after a win or loss wont show in the list till after all teams finish the game
oh ok, that explains...so am I allowed to post the link here directly?

Sure, you can post your final save link here, as other unfinished teams are not supposed to come to your thread. We just suppress the final save date to keep other playing teams guessing about what date they have to achieve to beat the current leader.

Commiserations on your loss, guys. You were not alone ;) Thanks for joining in and finishing it, and better luck next time.
 
save
had deleted the file already, so I dug out the autosave and saved it again at the beginning of the turn before the loss

sorry for that guys..
 
Here's your submitted final save.

It looks like you told the system you suffered a conquest defeat rather than submitting the save from the turn after the diplo defeat.
 
It's not going to change the world, but currently you have registered a Conquest defeat.

I can remove your current save from the results. One of you can open the current save and hit next turn. You should see the victory parade, then when you are asked if you want to play or quit, click "Lemme play just few more turns". Then save the game and submit that save. It will then register as a diplo defeat.
 
OK.

Actually, I think I already have the save, since I already watched the replay.

I'll go submit it now. :)

EDIT: There, that should be all set, now.
