Hello and welcome to the office of SABER's Chief Ambassador! This thread will be used for foreign intelligence updates, general information on the other teams, and other foreign affairs related stuff. For details on direct communication between other teams, other threads will be setup for each team. Also, i will appoint ambassadors for two other teams, while i'll handle 2 opponents myself (though we most likely won't meet all teams this turn). so, until we meet other rivals, sit back and enjoy the beginning of a long march to SABER victory!

Looking at the Hall of Fame:
azzaman333 is Quartermaster, but his score is pretty low, and he doesn't have many games on the tables.
Kuningas has only got 6 games, but they're all excellent.
None of the other members appear in the Hall of Fame.

Looking at the Game of the Month
Kuningas is in the Pantheon of Heroes with two silver, and 3 bronze medals. He's 55th in the global player ranking.
No sign of any other FREE members there.

Personal experiences + searching the forums:
I've seen a bit of Black_Hole in the demogames, and he likes laws, and being a justice and all, but I don't know anything about his skill.
azzaman333 seems to be playing a lot of pbem too.
EmpireMaker is unknown to me, but he seems to be playing mainly SG's. At quite a high level too.
Vikingruler, Calis has played a pbem against him, so he might be able to tell us more.
aluka, no threads started, only 87 posts, not much to say.
CommandoBob, started on chieftain, is now playing SGOTM with Smurkz
kingstuart, another pbem player
admiral-bell, demo-gamer
Elephantium, only one post after signing up for the MTDG, not very active.


Conclusion
Kuningas is a very good player, azzaman333 isn't bad either. They've got a nice mix of pbem-players and demogamers. They're a bit low on the numbers though.
 
Good to see that dutchfire. hopefully we'll find team FREE this term and you'll have a job. :)
 
I've set up an embassy.
 
that's good dutchfire. but for the future, when we meet the different teams, we'll start a thread for each. so, if we meet team FREE this term, you can start a thread and transfer all that info there. :)
 
I just wanted to spark some discussion on which teams we should look out for, which teams we should try to ally with, things like that.

To decide on these things, we'll need to know about the teams first.
 
There's some discussion of merit on the Planning the Start thread about the teams. A bit has changed since then, but not incredibly a lot.
 
Sure, when we actually meet someone, it is best to have a separate thread.
 
From turn 1 moving our citizen and looking at F11:

Both The Council and BABE founded a town on their first turn. They are both producing 2 spt, 4 gpt/bpt, and 3 fpt as are we. Since BABE is agricultural, that means either they don't have a food bonus (or chose not to work it :confused:), or their capital is not on fresh water :hmm:.
 
I'm betting BABE didn't get the food bonus. Probably a local luxury (incense, dyes or silks) to compensate, but the lack of the food bonus is the offset for being AG. If they had fresh water nearby they'd have moved, so I'm thinking they've settled and intend to use another city for their settler factory.
 
what type of info exactly? it's still early, and we haven't met anyone yet. i could list each team's roster, though.
 
email
civ
turnplayers/un reps
some F11 info perhaps?
 
put info in first post. i added the other team's emails to our gmail account contact list a few weeks back, so you can find it there if you're interested.
 
Notes from turn 2:

All 5 teams founded a town on turn 1.
All teams are producing 2 spt.
All teams are producing 4 gpt/bpt.
2 teams are +4 fpt, 3 (including us) are at +3 fpt.
 
We may also want to include a list of the cities each team has - their capital names can be obtained from the Top5 Cities screenshot in the State of the Empire thread.
 
capitals of our enemies now in 1st post.
 
After looking at the growth of our rivals' capitals, I'm guessing the following builds:

BABE - 1 warrior (5 turns), then a settler (8 turns), then ?
Council - 2 warriors (5 turns, 4 turns), then a worker (3 turns), then ?
SABER (for comparison) - 1 warrior (5 turns), then a settler (9 turns), then ?
FREE - 1 worker (5 turns), then a settler (11 turns), then ?
GONG - 1 warrior (5 turns), then 1 worker (4 turns), then 1 settler (7 turns).

Note that FREE did not build any early military - we'll see how that works out for them.
