Team Smackster : Training Game 01

I decided to claim as much land instead... Incense is not going anywhere. Worker will road it in 2 turns and another city should be put NE fron incense, but again it may be better to claim as much land as we can and settle that spot later.
 
I think we should at least try to get that peninsula. How long is it since the Portugese founded Braga? If it was very recent we might have a little chance of getting it. However, founding a city that close might be the drop that will piss Henry off and make him declare again.

I reckon we should start ICS when we are truly out of space southwards.

Just don't piss of Henry, other than that there is nothing really much going on :)
 
Sorry guys but I have been busy being a good friend for a few days. One of my closest friends came home from Thailand just after lunch on thursday. His girlfriend and both her parents are missing after the tsunami so he have been staying with us for a couple of days. He will go to Stockholm tomorrow so I will play then if it is OK with you guys. On the same topic, another friend is confirmed dead and two of his children are still missing, only his wife and the youngest kid are OK. I hope you guys have been spared from having had friends and relatives in SE asia over the holidays.
 
it's simply horrible what happened over there.

it's been said in the news here that Sweden was the most affected western country.

Take all the time you need...

Truly truly sad news
 
I am truly sorry to hear this, Wotan.
I wish you all the best.

After action report:
Not much fun in Stalingrad… A Settler is in position to found another city. The Warrior with it should be used to deny Portuguese Settler access to the peninsula if possible. If we can keep them away from the p. we might be able to put another two cities there.

Tech trading is “ridiculous” no serious opportunities.

:bump: Hello people!!!!! is anybody home?????

Where is the captain Smackster?
 
I am here :)
Eagerly awaiting some moves in this game.
We sure have two tough ones up now, d-man.

JJ
 
Sorry guys, put me on auto skip for now. Work and home life etc are taking over my gaming time, damn it. We are launching a product this year (after working on it for nearly 3 years) so the pressure is mounting.

I'll play the next SGOTM, but probably limit it to that.

I realise that I started this thread, but just can't play it. Feel free to drop it or play it.

Maybe we can get another "trainer" to join?
Know any suitors D-man? :)

JJ
 
We would do just fine if Wotan was more active but it sounds like everyone is running into series of RL issues. :(

Haven't heard from MjM in a while and I bet he is back in school and busy as well...
So it might be just two of us who can keep with the pace of this game, JJ.
:(
Do you want to keep going or drop it? SGOTM6 will start quite soon anyways.
I'd like to hear from Wotan and MjM on what they think.
 
I would like to play it, but dont see the point if the most experienced players arent participating.
SGOTM is coming up, but it wouldve been nice to have gotten some practice and advice before that.
Lets just wait for some comments from the others. Until then...
