SW8 - Stupid Spacers!!!!

SW, think we'll start this up again now that SGoTM8 is over?
 
indeed....
been lazy, but lets give this some juice again.

but first thing, roll call:
SW
JB
IroP
Vol - please confirm
Own - ditto.

whoever wants it, grab it.
as i cant play till wendesday morning
 
I'm out. Civ4 is too near. Poor roster management doomed this one.
 
I'm still in.

Let's make sure we keep our research partners viable.

Sorry to see you go Own. See you on the other side of Civ III.

made a boo-boo.
gave away my old cdburner with my copy of c3c in it.
will have it back friday night.

anyone who wants to, feel free.

Now this genius maneuver is something I would do.

I'll take this evening unless anyone else is really jonesing for a Civ fix. I'll need something to do while the World Series is on. Which reminds me that I need to buy some beer and chips.
 
Through four turns.

Not much action. We keep shoving further into English territory but to no gain as Liz will not give us an opportunity to extort her further.
 
Turn 0 – 600 AD
Gee, where did we leave off?
War w/ Liz (SW8 flashback) and she wont talk w/ us.
The all important tech standings…
We’re pretty much down Engineering, Monotheism, and Feudalism.
Happiness problems in Warwick. We hire a scientist. Just kidding.

IBT: We get a fourth floor.

Turn 1 – 610 AD
Move forces at Liz to try and intimidate but she’s not buying it.

IBT: No losses. English workers run for the cities.

Turn 2 – 620 AD
Our army attacks York and is redlined by a pike. We retreat but it now has no cover.
Attacking Canterbury promotes the defending spear. Wonderful.
Liz is still not interested in talking.

IBT: English LB comes out and kills the army.

Turn 3 – 630 AD
Line up more units for attack and pick off the LB but Liz still is not talking.
I really don’t want to raze the cities.

IBT: Nothing

Turn 4 – 640 AD
We capture Coventry. Liz is still shutting us out.
We capture Canterbury. Liz is still shutting us out.

IBT: Vikes completed Leo’s.

Turn 5 – 650 AD
Liz will not talk.
Moving in more forces to intimidate.

IBT: English are building Art of War.

Turn 6 – 660 AD
Liz will not talk.
Continuing to execute the war. I think we’re going to have to almost kill her. To get anything.

IBT: FP is build. Suicide galleys continue to die.

Turn 7 – 670 AD
Got another GL taking Stockholm from the English.
This witch still will not talk to us.

Turn 8 – 680 AD
Liz no talkie.
We have a new army.

IBT: Ahhhh, now she wants to talk w/ us. Probably about the 12 legions outside York. We talk, but she’s not offering enough.
Another galley goes down.

Turn 9 – 690 AD
We take York and add diamonds to the list of luxuries.
Liz is almost willing to give up Eng, Feud and Mono for pease and our gold. Another city ought to seal the deal.

IBT: The Dutch have completed Sun Tsu’s.

Turn 10 – 700 AD
The only other city now is London. Thanks to us and the Vikes Liz is a OCC.
Next leader can work on how best to extort her Royal Highness.
 
thanks, JB.
should have cd back tonight, so ill play tomorrow.

did you try offering her all our captured towns back?
if she still wont bite, ill try a get as much as possible, then go after Vikes.

When I added towns in the mix she was very insulted.
 
well, after a longtime without my prized C3C cd, i went out and forked out for a new copy, while waiting for cIV.
it hasnt arrived yet, :cry:
here we go again.
as time is becoming scarce, i guess this will continue at a leisurely pace.
thanks all for sticking with my sorry excuse for a game hoster :worship:

atleast i have a whole bunch of DWELE albums, EPs and live shows to listen too.

england gets peace. we give her 1050g for FEUDALISM and ENGINEERING.
and wont take her towns back for a price.

in the new turn, after rushing a worker i give her back - coventry and newcastle.
change some builds to galleys as i NEED to have contact with the off-shore holdings.
upgrade a few legions, and make some infra builds.
move a "few" extra hands towards ZerkLand.

720 sees a zerk coming at me. maybe we get some WH next turn?
rushed a rax at york, so we can upgrade our legions of legions waiting there.

730 copenhagen finished the Kentucky Turkeys. its gonna be a fun match.
that zerk side steps and plunders English soil, we cant allow for that, now can we?
upgrade a few.
take Nottingham with the army, kill 2 zerks on england's land, which makes her feel nice :D

740 move army and troopers towards Rykavik and it lovely HOLY SMOKE.

750 army kills a pike but loses too much blood. will wait.
i also squeeze a couple of settlers out from the big towns.
Ragdoll still wont talk, but i want that smaoke anyway.

760 a couple of Zerks in action fail to retake notingham. i OTOH, lose 2 E legions to a pike in smoke-city.

770 i take smoke city losing 2 legions.
start on quite a few pikes (better upgrade path, and the legions are becoming obsolete) as we need some zerk repelants.
a nice thick SoD is heading south. hopefully sign peace in next turn or two.

780 - we make it across the small water, and spot some borders (if we dont sink that is)

790 - take Bergen. we are now facing Zerks and Muskets.
raggie will talk but wont part with Invension and Mono as a part of deal. no worries.

800 - Madrid Finshes SISTINES. im VERY TEMPTED, but will resist the urge.
Caravels and Cop's builds are out tehre.
our fabulous SoD got smeared on a massive Zerk Axe.
time for some wheelin and dealing.

those are DARN HATEFUL zerks. lost 4 legions and MDIs without so much as a scratch.

were in a nice big tech hole.
i suggest we meet the others and wipe us a nice wide lawn on the home continent, and then head overseas.
