fogettaabout it....Frankcor....

I bet you know some good contractors......

When I was working Toronto we did business with a custom house broker which was owned by Jerry Gambino. (Rochester) You couldn't deal with any nicer people. Treated us very well and gave us lots of biz...(we were tempted to ask about if they are related to the guys in New York but thought not wise)

UltimateGP that makes you up again.......

 

[frankcor]

Hey, I got family in Rochester. Actually, "easta roch" as they call it.

 

[frankcor]

Success, I'm back online. I'll download, play and post, hopefully tonight but maybe in the morning.

Inherited Turn (290 AD)

IBT: Hatty wants us to give her Alphabet for Monotheism. No way.

Turn 1 (305 AD)
Olmec finishes: Barracks > Forge
Timbuktu grows: 8
Olmec grows: 5

Turn 2 (320 AD)
Tech learned: Machinery > Research begun: Horseback Riding
Kumbi Saleh finishes: Forge > Maceman

IBT: Khan wants us to stop trading with Hatty.

Turn 3 (335 AD)
Tech learned: Horseback Riding > Literature

Turn 4 (350 AD)
Timbuktu finishes: Confucian Monastery > Timbuktu begins: Skirmisher

Turn 5 (365 AD)
Timbuktu finishes: Skirmisher > Horse Archer
Djenne finishes: Forge > Skirmisher

Turn 6 (380 AD)

Turn 7 (395 AD)
Tech learned: Literature > Music
Timbuktu finishes: Horse Archer > The Great Library
Gao finishes: Lighthouse > Forge

Turn 8 (410 AD)
Djenne grows: 7

Turn 9 (425 AD)

Turn 10 (440 AD)
Djenne finishes: Skirmisher > Maceman
Horse Archer promoted: Flanking I

The Great Library will be complete in 7 turns and we have enough gold to finish Music in 8. The free Great Artist can research a Tech for us or we can save him for a culture bomb or Golden Age.

I upgraded a couple Axemen to Macemen and built a Horse Archer while waiting for Literature to come in. Oh, and there's a Skirmisher from Djenne heading to give Kumbi Saleh a proper garrison. I say we build a couple more Macemen and Horse Archers, upgrade our Swordsmen and remaining Axemen and start taking Egyptian cities.

UltimateGP......

Good show on finishing the GL. Now we have a good science base. I can't play tomorrow at all and it's late so heading for bed. If Frankcor wants to take it by all means. Maybe I can get to it on Tuesday.

EDIT: I will be able to play tonight (June 26) so this is "I got it". Probably post around 8pm tonight Eastern daylight saving.

Here we go again I say "I got it" but cannot find a save. D'OH....UltimateGP please post the save bitte schon.

 

[ULTIMATEGP]

[Cosmichail]

Hey Ultimate I don't know how many times I've posted and almost left the forum realizing I forget to post the save. So we all have our "********" moments. No biggie so I'll play when I get home tonight...

 

[frankcor]

Good turnset, UltimateGP! Go get 'em, Cosmichael. Are we ready to start breaking things and killing people?

BTW, UltimageGP, humor an old man -- what does pwn, pwns, pwnage, etc. mean?

Frankcor <- showing his age

 

[Cosmichail]

I second that Frankcor.....just another old man here too....

 

[ULTIMATEGP]

sorryu my comrades pwn is the same as own it just means it is very good or awesome or cool u get the idea.

 

[frankcor]

You mean, like, groovey, man?

 

[Cosmichail]

Oh wow frankcor you really gave your age away. I am of the same generation, man lot wow man groovy.....

Turn 0

Start moving soldiers towards Egypt
We will need some cats too to soften defenses

Turn 1

Music done start Monotheism for OR (only 2 turns) and no anarchy since we are spiritual. Drop science to get some coin for upgrades. We get a GA for music but leave him for later (culture bomb or Drama or Super specialist). Move workers to forest hill for Windmill. (in hindsight should have left it alone thought we got 2 hammers from it but only one)

Turn 2

MM Olmec forge now in 16 turns. Move workers on incense to start plantation

Turn 3

Timbuktu builds cat start another. Upgrade sword to Mace (combat 1)

Turn 4

Hatty asks us to go to war with Monty say no of course. She is now annoyed. This is the time to strike since she is weakened by Monty. Finish Monotheism revolt to OR and start currency

Turn 5

Army almost ready and in position. Timbuktu finishes another cat start CMissionary to help production in Olmec.

Turn 6

The Parthenon has been built
Zzzzzzz

Turn 7

Timbuktu finishes CM start Mace. Dejenne done building Confucian temple start CM upgrade another sword to a mace.

Turn 8

Declare war on Hatty. Mace take out archer on Iron. GS is popped and can give Philosophy and get it to discover another religion. Now we have another holy city Djenne. Olmec has Confucianism now to benefit from OR.

Turn 9

Hatty’s cat attacks Horsearcher and looses. Move horse to stack to heal. Mace pillages iron still injured leave him with healthy mace.

Turn 10

Timbuktu finishes mace start Crossbow for defense and utilize mace there if needed.
We take Memphis and get a worker move him towards Timbuktu. Upgrade sword in Olmec to mace. Move science back to 60% currency now done in 3 turns.
More maces converging on Egypt go for it!!!!!!!

Ok I took pictures however I think I pushed the wrong button (tired) and none we’re saved to my screenshots folder. Although you get the idea.

Observations: Hatty is weakly defended as suspected by Ultimate. The only question how far do we go until it is enough and we can trade with her again. We are now the highest in score and no. 1 in power. Watch your back for Cyrus since he is the same religion as Hatty. I would use the CM for Karakorum to keep him as a Confucian.

ROSTER
1. frankcor - UP
2. JesusOnEez - skip until July 1st
3. Ultimategp - on deck
4. Cosmichail - just played

 

[ULTIMATEGP]
