I would , I'm certainily not strapped for time , but I'm already in 4 Neses 1 sgotm and 1 sg (this) and I'm not a Demi-god player , I'm only in this one because its a training game for our team. ( And you guys are good players )

Next location: Green dot by the river.
London: Build Granary, maximize fpt while doing that. We need population there!
Priority: Find other tribes! We need to start trading techs! This is a Deity game so tech trading is imperative to a successful game.

The most uneventful set of turns I have ever played.

Turn log

0 – 2550BC Pre-flight
Moved Settler/Warrior to their destination.

IBT: Dutch Warrior kills one Barbarian.

1 – 2510BC
York founded, Worker started. We gain the gp’s from the Barb.Camp.

IBT: Dutch Warrior kills the remaining Barbarian.

2 – 9 – 2470BC – 2190BC
Absolutely nothing worth reporting happened.

10 – 2150BC
We meet France. They are up five techs!

After action report:
London is gearing up production, first BG tile is mined in two turns. York will produce a Worker next turn, maybe shift this to a Warrior? We need to have the local area mapped out for future city placements and we would like to pop a few GHs.

[tomasjj]

Agree that contacts are essential.
Another curragh heading eastwards would be nice to have pretty soon.

 

[smackster]

MjM you can play this now, as I might not be able to get to it until Sunday at the earliest

 

[MjM]

What about shifting worker to curragh that will go eastward? Curraghs are 10 shields right? or 15

 

[MjM]

I try to open it and it says the save file is corrupt ??

 

[smackster]

What is your Conquest patch level?

 

[MjM]

Doh , this is COunqests I opened it with PTW ,

 

[dmanakho]

Doh , this is COunqests I opened it with PTW ,

Do you have Conquests edition?

 

[MjM]

Yes I do , it works fine now.

 

[smackster]

Note I don't really know when I'll be online again, so skip me if you don't hear from me.

 

[MjM]

I need to take a screenshot of something and post it , but i dont know how to do either...

 

[dmanakho]

If you are talking about taking a game screen shot
you can use Alt+PrintScren key combination, that will copy screen into clipboard

Then you need to open any graphical editor (for example Microsoft Paint that comes with Windows) and paste what you've copied in previous step.
Save picture as jPG file.

You can upload file using upload file link at the bottom of the forum page and then provide link to the uploaded file using "insert Image" button in forum editor.

 

[smackster]

Also have a lookin the utilities forum, there are some of those that make it easier, just press a button and it creates a jpg file for you.

Crappiest turns ever....

Pre Flight: Switch York's worker to a warrior.

2110 BC (1): York Warrior --> Worker. move curragh

2070 BC (2): Move curragh , meet Chinese. They dont have alphabet and are very close with the French , who will trade it to them anyway , up 4 techs. Trade alphabet for warrior code and wheel and 40 gold. Worker finishes mine starts road.

2030 BC (3) Move curragh , move warrior.

1990 BC (4) see 1 portugeuse warrior , move warrior move curragh.

1950 BC (5) Move curragh move warrior , Granary finishes start on settler.

1910 BC (6) Move curragh move warrior.

IT: See a port settler/spear pair. York finishes worker.

1870 BC (7) Move Curragh Move warrior , 3 port warriors are closing in on York. 1 vet 1 reg 1 conscript. 2 fortify whew.

1830 BC (8) Move Curragh move warrior.

IT: The warriors wake up and the Portugese declare war!!! Reg warrior attacks and dies. Vet attacks and destroys York. Loosing 1 hp. They take 65!! gold from its vaults out of our 260.

1790 BC (9) Move curragh , move warrior closer to port lands. worker that was irrigating flees to mountain.

I didnt play last turn as this needs major discussion. Writing in 13 and London has settler in 2 turns with 7 spt. Maybe switch to archer as we only have a 2 warrior millitary. I hate to say it but I think we are doomed with 2 warriors and inevitable reinforcements closing in on London. Even if we survive we cant take out portugal or recover from this war. I suggest we start over. I'd post a screenie but I dont know how. As far as I know there was no way to get port out , the reg and vet warriors in our land wasnt enoigh to ask them to get out now or war, which they would've declared anyway.

 

[dmanakho]

MjM, Please post the picture and also the save... We need to look at this...
We have had such a bad start and also it is quite common on diety level to be defeated at the very beginning.
AIs have too many startup units.

We will have to discuss if we should continue or start entirely new map at this point.

 

[MjM]

Here is the save , I will mess with screenies a little longer...

 

[smackster]

Wonderful news, that's the way it goes. I can't look at the save or play so feel free to skip me.

 

[dmanakho]

Let's wait on what Wotan and JJ has to say on current situation...
In Smackster's absence the current roster is:

Tomasjj - up and waiting on comments from
Dmanakho - on deck
Wotan - waiting on comments from
Smackster - skipped
MjM - just played

I tossed the roster a little to reflect established play order.
