[19:17] Sigma: This Turnchat has officially started. The year is 1268 AD. Citizens in attendance: Sigma (DP)
[19:18] Sigma: Beginning Pre-turn.
[19:19] Sigma: Renaming workers as per MoI instructions...
[19:23] Sigma: Cancelling workers' tasks and moving them to their respective rally points
[19:25] Sigma: Adjusting citizens in Auda Minor
[19:27] Sigma: Renaming military units as per SoW instructions
[19:28] *** Scarab has left #turnchat.
[19:37] Sigma: whew that took a while, think I'm done with that now
[19:38] Sigma: Stop conditions given by SoW:
[19:39] Sigma: Stop play if Bismarck will negotiate for peace. You musn't offer him peace - it will need a vote by the citizens.
[19:39] Sigma: Stop play if Bismarck does something really wacky I haven't anticipated and we look in serious danger and in your opinion we need a complete change of plans. I expect you to shuffle reinforcements around to deal with small numbers of units Germany may send without stopping play.
[19:40] Sigma: Stop conditions given by SoS/President:
[19:40] Sigma: STOP IF we meet any other civ
[19:41] Sigma: Looks like preturn is finally over!
[19:41] Sigma: Uploading save...
[19:43] Sigma: Save uploaded - link is on forums (I won't be copying here since there's no one to click on it anyway)
[19:45] Sigma: End of Turn 0 - Optics in 10, 40% Science, 79 gold (-2gpt)
[19:45] Sigma: I won't be asking if it's okay to press since there's no one here to stop me
[19:45] Sigma: Bring it on Bismarck!! *crosses fingers*
[19:46] Sigma: Haha! A sword dies at the hand of one of our archers, and they lose a horse archer to our spearman, both in Basillica.
[19:46] Sigma: Take that Germany!
[19:47] Sigma: The chariot moves one square north and pillages a cottage - oh well, buildings can be rebuilt
[19:47] Sigma: A Russian horse archer comes into view at 3S2W of Basillica - Peter to the rescue!
[19:48] Sigma: A German sword comes into view SSE of Basillica with Combat II
[19:48] Sigma: An update on those battles - our spearman stayed at 4 health, and our archer dropped to 1.6/3 but has a promotion available
[19:51] Sigma: Nothing is said about promotions, so I will leave him unpromoted. There's not too many Germans around, and he'll be healed in 3 turns
[19:52] Sigma: Archer completed in NPC - the SoW instructions say to promote but it has no exp! Fortified in NPC.
[19:53] Sigma: No instructions are posted for NPC, and I think a military unit will be more useful than research atm, so a catapult started
[19:53] Sigma: Bismarck still won't talk to us...
[19:54] Sigma: I'm tempted to take out that chariot 1W of Basillica - the spearman has a 98%+ chance of winning... but the orders say do not attack any Germans so I'll leave him be.
[19:55] Sigma: A lot of workers and military units have moved toward their destinations automatically
[19:55] Sigma: And that looks like it for the turn. We hopefully shouldn't have any battles this time...
[19:57] Sigma: End of Turn 1 - Optics in 8, 40% Science, 77 Gold (-1gpt)
[19:57] Sigma: Here goes nothing...
[19:59] Sigma: IBT - German sword moves NW to be 1S of Basillica. Russian horse archer sweeps in and kills it! - down to 1.2/6 health
[19:59] Sigma: A German sword and horse archer, both with Combat II, come into view ESE of Basillica
[20:00] Sigma: The German chariot moves NE to 1N of Bassilica and pillages another cottage. This city may need some rebuilding by the time we are done...

[20:03] Sigma: I'm moving the archer 2E to a jungle/hill (SSW of Toot) for the defensive bonuses - no sense losing the unit
[20:04] Sigma: Eastern worker stack completes road 4S of AC
[20:04] Sigma: Horse archer reinforcement (Ba garr d) arrives in basillica
[20:05] Sigma: Western worker stack begins road 1W of OS
[20:06] Sigma: Axe completed in Abydos, promoted Woodsman I, moving to eastern worker stack
[20:07] Sigma: Worker completed in AC, renamed Kilo, meeting up with eastern stack
[20:09] Sigma: Starting colosseum in AC, and catapult in Abydos
[20:10] Sigma: End of Turn 2 - Optics in 7, 40% Science, 71 Gold (-9gpt)
[20:11] Sigma: IBT - German horse archer moves to 1S of Basillica, killing Peter's.
It's now at 4.3/6 health
[20:11] Sigma: German sword moves to 1E of Basillica
[20:12] Sigma: Chariot moves to 2N of Basillica, pillages village (it's now a hamlet)
[20:14] Sigma: The chariot is now 1SW of the archer that got cut off. I could try to run some more, but I'm going to fortify here and bait him to see if he attacks it. If he does, he'll be at a disadvantage, and hopefully kill his own unit.
[20:15] Sigma: Archer completed in Toot. Promoting Combat I and moving to Defense position 3.
[20:17] Sigma: The eastern worker stack is due to move, but it looks like their next location is within attacking range of the German chariot. They move to a more defensive position and will wait until the chariot moves or the axe arrives
[20:17] Sigma: Def1 c (sword) arrives at defense position 1 - fortified
[20:18] Sigma: CF garr a (archer) arrives at CF, fortified, Ba garr c (axe) sent to Basillica
[20:20] Sigma: Archer completed in Bas. Fortified, unpromoted.
[20:21] Sigma: Axeman started in toot, Crossbow started in Bas.
[20:21] Sigma: Bismarck is still being closed-minded.
[20:22] Sigma: End of Turn 3 - Optics in 7, 40% Science, 71 Gold (-9gpt)
[20:22] Sigma: Here's hoping our troops kick some German butt!
[20:23] Sigma: Well, no battles were fought, but he burned some cottages to the ground...
[20:23] Sigma: The Horse Archer 1S of Basillica pillages a hamlet twice into nothing
[20:24] Sigma: The sword 1E of Basillica pillages a village to a hamlet
[20:24] Sigma: And the Chariot 2N of Basillica pillages a hamlet twice
[20:24] Sigma: They didn't take the bait, guess I didn't give him enough credit :-/
[20:25] Sigma: Well at least I know what the workers will be doing once this war is over, assuming we still hold Basillica
[20:26] Sigma: ok now onto our movements -
[20:26] Sigma: Ba garr c moves one step closer to Bas
[20:29] Sigma: The other road builder guard has met up with the eastern roadbuilders - they will move out next turn
[20:29] Sigma: The western stack moves and completes another road
[20:30] Sigma: ok that's about it for this turn, battery on my laptop is about to die so I'm going to go run and get it
[20:32] Sigma: End of Turn 4 - Optics in 6, 40% Science, 62 Gold (-9gpt)
[20:33] Sigma: Here goes...
[20:33] Sigma: IBT - Now he's just toying with us...
[20:34] Sigma: He pillaged our farm 1NE of Bas with the chariot, and the hamlet down to a cottage with his sword
[20:34] Sigma: The Horse archer moves to 1W of Bas
[20:34] Sigma: Bas is now starving :-/, well at least they're not German
[20:36] Sigma: The horse archer is still weak from fighting Peter, and the axe would have a 66% shot at beating it, but again orders say not to attack, so it will fortify in the jungle to receive the defense bonus if Germans decide to attack
[20:37] Sigma: Crossbowman finished in CF, moved to Def 1 (instructed to promote but no exp)
[20:38] Sigma: Workers India and Juliet move to Toot to start clearing Jungle, we don't really have that much forest left to chop
[20:38] Chieftess: How goes the war?
[20:39] Sigma: We haven't lost any troops!
[20:39] Sigma: But they're pillaging the hell out of Basillica
[20:39] Chieftess: Is Russia at war with Germany, too?
[20:39] Sigma: yup
[20:39] Sigma: we saw them kill one of Germany's units, but other than that, we don't know what's going on
[20:40] Chieftess: Continental Heathen Warfare.
[20:41] Chieftess: Got any screenshots of the war?
[20:42] Sigma: yeah I can post one in just a sec
[20:42] Sigma: Catapult finished in CF, moves toward Defense 2
[20:42] Sigma: Catapults started in OS and CF
[20:42] Sigma: whoops it finished in OS
[20:43] Sigma: End of Turn 5 - Optics in 5, 40% Science, 53 gold (-10gpt)

[20:48] Sigma: That's not the same as "Rock me like a hurricane" is it?
[20:48] Sigma: ok... press it?
[20:48] Chieftess: Crabengwë!
[20:48] Chieftess: I don't know - speakers are off.
[20:49] Sigma: lol
[20:49] Sigma: here goes
[20:50] Sigma: Well once again they don't attack, but now they've started pillaging our roads
[20:50] Sigma: They're making my job as MoI difficult...
[20:50] Chieftess: Might be best to pick them off if we can.
[20:50] Sigma: Orders by SoW say no attacking the Germans
[20:50] Chieftess: AI's kind of programmed to pillage if the chances aren't good.
[20:50] Chieftess: This isn't Civ3. They aren't as suicidal.
[20:50] Sigma: hehe
[20:51] Sigma: I might be stopping the TC here
[20:51] Chieftess: How specific were those instructions?
[20:51] Chieftess: i.e., don't attack them in their territory, or ours?
[20:51] Sigma: Alot of units are cut off from reinforcing or moving to their desired placement
[20:51] Chieftess: Let's consult the RMG!
[20:51] Chieftess: Now Playing: Go Your Own Way
[20:51] Sigma: it says: Do not attack any Germans or move into their territory.
[20:51] Chieftess: I think it's saying... "Take it to the forums!"
[20:51] Sigma: well also...
[20:51] Sigma: Bismarck will talk to us now
[20:52] Chieftess: Old demogame joke.
[20:52] Sigma: The price for pease is to give him Basillica. To hell with that
[20:53] Chieftess: Tell Bismarck to go his own way!
[20:53] Sigma: hehe
[20:53] Sigma: Well, and I'm not sure if Cease Fires are covered in the section that says the citizens must vote on a peace treaty... but regardless, no instructions were given to try and get one
[20:54] Sigma: and I can't see if he'll accept it without actually going forward with it (even though I thought that was the idea anyway)
[20:54] Chieftess: Now Playing: Castles Made of Sand
[20:54] Sigma: what does that mean... build forts on the floodplains?
[20:56] Sigma: okay I'm going to end it here since we didn't account for tons of pillaging, and Bismarck will speak to us now
[20:56] Sigma: this will give our SoW some time to figure out how to deal with the pillagers, and see about getting a cease fire
[20:56] Chieftess: Now Playing: Take The Long Way Home
[20:57] Sigma: we could really use some more spears to take out Germany's mounted units
[20:57] Chieftess: I think it's saying, "Tell Bismark to take a hike!"
). I will also keep referring to Defence Points 1, 2 and 3 and the Road Build rendezvous. You might find it easier to locate these on the map if you add a sign to each tile before you start. Details:
