SID on pangaea

[I. Larkin]

How long to IA in capital? may be swich to bank or hospital and get IA with MGL?

 

[ThERat]

I would rather rush IA or the Pentagon. 4 unit armies are much stronger as 3 unit armies and of course they have more health points.

 

[nerovats]

IA is almost finished if I recall correctly, just 2 more turns or so. Will rush Pentagon, forgot about that. Stronger armies are important when we have to kill infantry.

 

[nerovats]

Will continue tomorrow.

We are stil weak compared to everyone. Persia is still very strong. But we can take out all their cities in our
territory in 1 turn. And they just have slow units, so they can just enter our territory so we should be ok. Lot
of units will out of Japanese territory though.

[I. Larkin]

What was the idea of RoP with Persia??

 

[nerovats]

To get to Babylon. We're now much stronger, and could potentially out research the AI now.

 

[I. Larkin]

Two questions:
How we take all the matter seriously? Shal we consider Palace jump (to Brandeburg, say) and research to MA. Or we just push forward with Horses? and see waht will happend?

 

[nerovats]

Even without jump we should be able to out research the AI. But for domination we don't need more science. Arties work great.

 

[nerovats]

Either Ingas or Ivan is up.

 

[ignas]

I can try to look at save and play if I'll have some inspiration for this. Will post about situation in 12 hours.

 

[ignas]

No Internet connection at home (probably tornados are coming) so can't play.

 

[I. Larkin]

actually I played 0.75 turn... try to plat to Russia - fail. Star thinking what to do next, but them SGTOM turns appeared...
Absulutly tierd, so if Ignas take it will be good.

Played a bit more. Ask Japanise remove and they declare. Now tedious work to hold extended line: Japan has RoP with Russia. Nise to observe Persian Tanks fight vs Japan. Will continue today. If Ignas let me know, when he'd like to play it will be good. new sav attached

Guess where Russian have Sheakspear?

 

[ignas]

Sorry for delaying, but I lost interest in this and the lack of time.

 

[I. Larkin]

Sorry for delaying, but I lost interest in this and the lack of time.

Thats always problem, so i never finish solo games. SG a bit easer, as team mates provide some surprises...

Play a bit more... Captured Kyoto with Leo and Smith. I think it is not much to finish, and probably we will do it "soon".

Any ideas how to do it in fastest way?
i finished 5 turns and will posting now.
Next player up. If Ignas quit, TheRat, I guess

[Spoonwood]

Looking around some of the old Sid threads, this might stand up there with some of the best Sid games (if it ever gets completed). It definitely beats the Magnificent Seven Plus One in my book. Drazek's 20k, and some of the games by Kuningas and Moonsinger probably top it, but this seems in the same class.

 

[I. Larkin]

Anybody want to continue?

I still remember what to do...

 

[TheOverseer714]

Sid is too much for me, or I would jump in, I think every SG needs fnished or at least a decent burial.

 

[ignas]

Sure, this one needs be finished.

I still remember what to do...

Light us up, Ivan.

Don't you mean a Ceremonial Burial???
