[Admiral Kutzov]

[soul_warrior]

drum roll please....
THE ROSTER

trikos - u have it!!
soul warrior - should have it , did have it , but delayed posting and now im stuck at work till tomorow morning . will tomorow afternoon-night (depending on trikos situation - post or play)
MSTK - KIA. rip. hope you resurrect soon, no mistake there
ChrTh
eldar
Admiral

thanx to eldar and the admiral . i thought you might need a few days of r&r, so i put you at end . if you want to bump up, just say so

[EDIT] any lurkers around? as MSTK has been KIAed on us we are looking for another deck hand.

 

[soul_warrior]

ok....
as trikos didnt post... i did

so here is da log.

no need to MM preturn, all okey dokey.

1- aim our brave galley toward Romeland. ****inue exploring with our curraghs.

2- London settler > settler. settler goes for sweetspot. we find caeser likes it cold. so i move our settler back for transport to the colonies (he failed his job by ONE move )

3- Rome asks for a straight up peace. i accept, so i can drop my settler on their iron river site next turn. Warwick catapult > galley. Build SWeetspot MM it for shields. start harbour.

4- Canterbury sword > sword. Coventry spear > spear. Dover harbour > galley. move a spear towards Pisae (our new northern "friend") as back up. Arabs are building Gardens, how appropriate.

5- brighton worker > worker. Rome building MoM. lose currage to wild water... i build Romey Pokey and start Harbour.

6- London settler > settler. Rome is roading our Iron. will wait for them to finish and reinforce then boot them.

7- Oxford galley > catapult.

8- Iron hill catapult > galley. get sword and settler reinforcements into RomeyPokey. galley runs back home for more.
cant decide on what to do with that settler. join into Romey Pokey? wait and use to build another town? so i leave it to be decided openly among us.

9- Canterbury sword > sword. Coventry spear > spear. galley heading south for new lands.
10- London settler > settler. Ironhill riots i hire a taxman.
russians just build MoM - so what will rome build now?

summary
currency in 7 @ 30%
137g -1gpt.
we are up on everybody 2-6 techs (french are closest @ 2 techs down)

i think we should rush some stuff @ Romey Pokey.

Turn 0 -- 350 BC

Our builds seem to be a little chaotic, and we're dying on culture. After some of those harbors finish, I think I'm going to try to get some temples built. Also, our troop builds are a little chaotic.

I open an embassy in Rome, just in case Carthage gets cute.

IT:
Romans switch to Great Lighthouse
Our Settler galley sinks. We need to get GrLi before we risk another.

Turn 1 -- 330 BC
I merge 2 workers into Dye Forests. GrLi in 18. Have to raise Lux to 20% to do so.

Our West and South is totally undefended and vulnerable. I switch Oxford and Warwich to Spear. I switch Canterbury to Temple so it can grab the Whale and allow Dover and Warwick the ability to build.

Two archers are approaching Leeds. I switch the Harbor to Spear and rush.

Turn 2 -- 310 BC


Turn 3 -- 290 BC
Roman archers think better of it and back to Pisae

Turn 4 -- 270 BC
London - Settler->Settler
Coventry - Spear-> Spear

Turn 5 -- 250 BC
Brighton - Worker->Worker
Oh, BTW...Russia is doomed. France is sending Ancient Cavalry at her.

Turn 6 -- 230 BC
Southpoint - Harbor->Galley

Turn 7 -- 210 BC
We get Currency. Construction ordered up for 50 turns (taxman in Iron Hills switched to Scientist) while we get some cash back in the coffers.
London - Settler->Settler
Canterbury - Temple->Spear

Turn 8 -- 190 BC
Whoops, I lost a turn. Some of the stuff listed in turn 7 must've happened in Turn 8

Turn 9 -- 170 BC
Coventry - Spear->Spear
Dover - Galley->Rax (can be vetoed)

Turn 10 -- 150 BC
Warwick - Galley->Rax (can be vetoed)
SWeetpot - Spear->Galley


Ok, not much happened on my turn. I've started accumulating Settlers and Galleys in SWeetpot, and if the next person wants to risk a sea voyage, it's up to them. The island and peninsula South of us are still unsettled, so we might want to wait the 9 turns for the Lighthouse to (hopefully) come in.

Here's the save:

[Zavior]

If you need player, I could take a spot.

 

[ChrTh]

When I opened the Embassy in Rome, they still had 22 turns left for the Mausoleum, so I don't think we need to worry about them getting the Lighthouse.

 

[soul_warrior]

i say lets keep the GLight build. im feeling lucky.

Zavior... welcome aboard.

ChrTh - just played
trikos - up now. CONFIRM PLEASE.
eldar - skipped till jan 30th
