Succession game, regent, Vanilla Civ3

[andvruss]

I think we have enough money and should up our science (unless you can't get it in more than 33 turns

 

[Gengis Khan]

Any progress infoman??

 

[Gengis Khan]

I guess info want to be skipped for a round. I sent him an email to see if he's still playing or is just having computer/RL probs.

I guess that puts it on you andvruss.

 

[andvruss]

I'll get the turns in by tomorrow.

Poor Abe!

Got it & will play shortly, I'm also gonna recruit a couple replacements incase dream & info decide not to show up.

 

[andvruss]

How bout we recruit Gorm and Bugsy?

 

[Gengis Khan]

Good idea, I think they'd join in a heartbeat. I just got an email from Info & he said he was coming back this week too.

 

[gormdragan]

Here comes reinforcements (I hope I am up to the task).

@GK

Dun give all 3 SG at once...I might drop dead.

 

[andvruss]

I am in 5 right now (having to drop one )

 

[andvruss]

Is Info back?

 

[Gengis Khan]

He said he'd be coming back this weekend, I'm gonna play today.

Sorry but I got 5 SGs handed to me at once.

 

[gormdragan]

Sorry pple, I will be away on a business trip to mexico for the next 2 days. Should be back on Thursday.

 

[gormdragan]

i'm back

 

[andvruss]

Welcome back

 

[Gengis Khan]

By today I ment 4 days from then. Sorry RLs been a ***** & had a ton of stuff to do.

Flight Check: Since I’ve forgotten everything we had planned for this one, I’m gonna review real quick.

Military Check- 12workers(& 12slaves), 3settlers, 8warriors, 11spears, 5horses, 2cats, 3galleys, & 20immortals. I think we have plenty of immortals & should work on units with a better upgrade path.

Diplomatic front- We currently know 6 of the 7 civs.
England is has a monopoly on Republic but is down 4 techs.
Babs are down currency. Both are boxed in by us & only have 1 city.
Germans are at parity with us, but don’t have know about the Aztecs or Americans.
Shaka is down Mono, doesn’t know about Aztecs or Americans.
Aztecs down 5 techs & doesn’t know anyone on our continent, but knows the Iroquois.
Abe down 10 techs & doesn’t know anyone on our continent, but knows the Iroquois.

I think we should keep on monopoly on contact & not let anyone know anyone else until magnetism.

Trade WM, construction, monarchy, RoP, & 108g for Republic, then revolt.

IT- Pars revolts.

1- Move around some troops.

2-

3-

4-

5- Still just waiting for Republic to kick in & moving troops to the German front.

IT- HA! Finally!!! Republic sets in as the government of choice for our people. They’re happy & go back to work.

6- Finish setting up troops to attack Germany, rearrange cities, rush a couple libraries, ect.

IT- Babylon: library>market
Parsargadae: temple>market
Ashur: library>cat
Ellipi: library>cat

7- I declare war on Biz & move in troops, capturing 2 slaves in the process. I also meet the Iroquois, who are way behind in techs. But I’m nice enough to trade him WM, provided he throws in all his gold(204). Since I sold it to one person I turn around & sell it to everyone, netting us an additional 150g.

IT- London: spear>market

8- Vet horseman retreated by spear(Heildenburg), -1hp.
Elite immortal kills wounded spear, capturing Heidelburg. It’s not the best city, but we’ll take it.
Vet immortal kills spear(Frankfurt), redlined.
Vet immortal kills spear capturing Frankfurt, -1hp.

IT- Nineveh: worker>library
Susa: spear>market
Tarsus: spear>court

9- Both cats outside Leipzig fail.
Elite immortal kills spear(Leipzig).
Elite immortal kills spear & takes over Leipzig, which comes with 2 resistors.
Start marching on Berlin, & jungle cities.

IT- Pers: market>cathedral
Aztecs complete Great Lighthouse.

10- That actually worked out in our benefit, Arbela switches to a palace. Pre-building for Sun’s which we will have in 13 turns.

We need some more workers to help out with improvement of all the newly acquired land. I’m also going after the Germans mostly going for a GL to rush the Forbidden Palace. Don’t trade contacts & don’t forget we have the palace pre-build for Sun’s. There’s 2 settlers next to Akkad(FP site), waiting on terrain to open up for them. Also there's 3 cities that will riot next turn unless fixed(I would have hired clowns for them but I already uploaded the save & it takes forever on my comp): London, Akkad, & Samaria.

Good luck!

[gormdragan]

GK, is it my turn?

 

[Gengis Khan]

Sure! Just what you wanted, to follow me in another SG.

 

[gormdragan]

I'll play this turn and we see how things go. (Free tonight anyway, it sucks to be on job standby on friday night)

 

[infoman]

miss a week and the rest of you pretty much finish the game. Is there a way I can earn a living and play Civ III all the time. I am back. Sorry for the delay getting back. I am chomping at the bit to play again.

Welcome to the reinforcements.
