I like the tiger becuase the shermans couden't even touch it it would just tear them to pieces

So true and the Russian T34 wasn't very good against it either. Only problem was Germany couldn't produce enough and Russia just outnumbered them. Produced T34's like lollipops. (and don't forget the Messerschmidt -- what a plane for it's time)

EDIT: Germany made a big error going on two front war// the dreaded eastern front..

 

[JesusOnEez]

OK. Thanks guys. That's really helped. I'll play the rest of my turns a little later (each one carefully). I'm guying to go for the CS Slingshot.

Wish me luck!

 

[JesusOnEez]

Right, I'll keep this brief. I've played my remaining six turns and nothing much has happened. The CS slingshot was never going to occur in my turnset anyway, however, it is still on.

BEWARE!

At the moment, the Marble is NOT in use, and currently CoL and The Oracle finish in 9 turns. The Marble will be hooked up by road in the next turn, thus the Oracle's build time will half. For God's sake, don't let The Oracle finish before CoL, otherwise we won't be getting Civil Service for free.

If we pull off the CS Slingshot, I suggest we head for Machinery, and start sending Macemen in Kublai's direction...in the meantime, infrastructure should probably be a priority.

UltimateGP, you're on!

 

[frankcor]

Well played, JesusOnEez!

UltimateGP, I beg of you, please read JOE's warning above one more time before you load the game. If something is unclear, you know you can always ask for clarification. GO GET 'EM, BOSS!

 

[Cosmichail]

UltimateGP, I beg of you, please read JOE's warning above one more time before you load the game

Please please Ultimate is so nice to have CS Slingshot. Jesusoneez got it lined up nice, so we are close.

 

[ULTIMATEGP]

i'l just put whatever is city is building it on something else. until we can hook this up but I warn u guys, somebody may get the oracle first hopefully not.

 

[ULTIMATEGP]

Well executed gentlemen. Machinery and we can kick some &*&^.

True flippen bombers had to wreck the fatherlands war industry

Funny had a long conversation about the bombers tonight as we have a German friend who lived in Halber-stadt and was bombed by many B-17's.

EDIT: I went to look back and see who is up.....Am I up or is it Frankcor...

 

[frankcor]

Well, going back to page 5

Cosmichail > played, post #88
FrankCor > played, post #92
JesusOnEez > played, post #110, 123
UltimateGP > played, post #128
Cosmichail > UP NOW
FrankCor > On Deck

 

[Cosmichail]

Ok after scrolling around for a while I figured out I am up and consider this "I got it" Will play tomorrow sometime 10 turns...

Just to keep things smooth I thought posting a Roster might help:

ROSTER
1. frankcor - America tied with Italy confused Vive la Italia == on deck
2. JesusOnEez - St. Georges crosses making him feel nationalistic == setup CS
3. Ultimategp - Fighting for the Fatherland == checkmate
4. Cosmichail - Upset Luke didn't send him a Father's day card == UP

Frankcor you fast like da "Italian Stallion" but I will still post for humour sake....

 

[ULTIMATEGP]

Ok thanks for updated roster so sand quit huh

 

[JesusOnEez]

Yeeeeees! Nice follow-up Ultimate. I was playing a SP game last night on Noble and missed the CS Slingshot by one turn. I got CoL and Confucianism, and The Oracle was due next turn, but someone beat me to it next turn.

I felt sick.

This goes some way to making me feel better!

Macemen = Ass Kicking, even when Longbows come along, BWAHAHAHAHA!

 

[ULTIMATEGP]

I say we take out monty when we get maces

 

[Cosmichail]

Turn 1

Conf. missionary spreads Confucianism to Timbuktu
Unhappiness gone

Turn 2

Sailing done start metal casting to get to Machinery
Timbuktu start skirmisher for defenses
Kumba Saleh start Workboat finish Skirmisher
Move sword and find another barb to practice on

Turn 3

Sword kills barb, healing

Turn 4

Skirmisher finished in Timbuktu. Start worker could use. Pyramids still available?
And now for the world’s greatest civilizations

Turn 5

Kumba Saleh done workboat, start barracks 23 turns however growth in 4 turns will help to work mine. Move workboat to clams…(more science, more food)

Turn 6

Kublai converts to Confucianism, worker done with farm at Djenne, move to assist other worker.

Turn 7

KK wants OB say no… although in hindsight maybe we should to scout him out and spam missionaries. 9 turns to GP in Timbuktu. Wkr done in Timb. Start Confucian temple.

Turn 8

Djenne done barracks start skirmisher, worker start farm in Timb (for growth/GP0. 2nd worker start farm at Kumba Saleh. Worker done in Olmec start chop for Libarary on grassland.

Turn 9

Sword find fur/horsies, lousy city site but could use horses/fur.
Workers start cottage at Kumba Saleh

Turn 10

Ok Pyramids only 17 turns in Timbuktu do we try with chop???
Start settler for another city??? However please change if we want something else or try for Pyramids. 6 turns only to GP for shrine

Also contacted every civ to see what we could trade. Cyrus has Polytheism/Math to trade for COL so I accepted and now chops will be more productive. I say we try for Pyramids get all workers there to chop what we can.

We don’t have lit yet so maybe sneak that in before Machinery to get GL???
Hatty only has Monarchy to trade but not willing. We are the most advanced, KK/Monty has nothing/backwards. I forgot about Lit but nobody else has it so will it be too much to try and get Pyramids/GL.

Here’s the save:

 

[Cosmichail]

ROSTER
1. frankcor - UP
2. JesusOnEez - on deck
3. Ultimategp - checkmate
4. Cosmichail - finished 2nd set

Jesusoneez I hate that when that happens...just miss it by 1 turn.

UltimateGP....Personally I would like to weaken Hatty somewhat she is spawning cities everywhere and must be stopped. You are team leader so if you want Monty that's good, but I usually like to attack the strongest first.

 

[frankcor]

Khan is now our brother in faith -- that'll cause additional war weariness if we fight against him. I'm leaning towards crippling Hatty sooner, rather than later. She usually just holes up in her cities which will make pillaging an almost breeze.

Forget the Pyramids. Build a settler and get those horses on line. Team up a horse archer with a maceman and you've got an unstopable pillaging machine for the next century or so. And let's go straight to Machinery!

 

[ULTIMATEGP]

True Hatty mayye needs a lesson she could take places that will have oil in the future and we need to stop her now.

 

[Cosmichail]

Build a settler and get those horses on line

That's what I was thinking but just pitching. So Fageettabout it, Pyramids no but GL would be nice for science. Are you thinking the icelands there Frankcor with the little beavers running around. Settler is started and MC is only 7 turns away and then Machinery. We might gain a city south of Timbuktu where KK placed (why does AI do stupid stuff like that)

So the Team Leader hat gesprochen "Wir fahren jegen Egypt" "Wir fahren jegen Egypt" Jawohl...... Egypt it is.....
