You guys can try anything you want - I'll play along for fun. But it seems to me that maybe we should figure out why we crashed on the Sumerian game and replay it to success. I would think we would like to learn the correct way out of this problem, and don't tell me there isn't one.
I am finally well on my way to my first Sid win and it has been quite a learning experience. I was rather particular about starting location and map setup to help me. I have already learned a few things about how important every move is on every turn from that game, and from this game too. I have a HOF agenda that probably won't allow me to play this game the right way by myself but that is an alternative I suggest.
I am no Sid expert but I certainly know a little about how to get better at Civ. Looking for a better map or a better UU certainly isn't going to prove anything. Having a plan upfront, as Smart suggested, certainly will help, and maybe that is enough.
Or maybe we should all go play the game starting before Beorn-el-Feared played it, and see who comes up with the best result. (No offense B, we just know that the 10 high immortal stack formed towards the end of those turns, and I think that is where the wheels came off. I am sure I would have fallen into the same trap. With the advantage of 20-20 hindsight, we could try pre-emptive measures to keep those stacks from forming, so next time we will be better prepared. Or maybe if we leave the EW army at home we can beat down the swarms, and that would be more benefit than pillaging. If we don't try we won't know. )
Smart - since it is your game I will go along with whatever you want to do.
