The Fifth Game: Towers of the Amurite

[Diamondeye]

Okay, finally played the set - sorry for the delay - and I had a bit more action that what I had suspected/planned (which was to tech Carto and build a trade route to Flauros)...

Spoiler :

First, the Sheaim deal with the Barbarians to their south. And example to be followed, methinks...

Spoiler :

I decide to keep the city. We have far too few of these.

Archery comes in, and I slot Cartography in next:

Spoiler :

We get an event! In retrospect, I should've paid the gold to get the Archer, but I picked the population to get the city up and running:

Spoiler :

... Our veterans, boltered by newly recruited Swordsmen, take another barb city. We now have a Level 5 Warrior, who I intend to upgrade:

Spoiler :

I keep that one aswell. Its spot is not much worse than the questioned sign just west of it.

Now, this is where all those subtle hints are leading, because this fantastic turnset takes a wrong turn, helped eagerly along by Doviello forces:

Spoiler :

Remember that level 5 guy I talked about upgrading? Well, I did. And I attacked at around 85% odds while the city was still in revolt...

Spoiler :

Meh. Guess who just got XP-foddered?

... At the end of the turnset, the front looks like this (both our Swords are Shock):

Spoiler :

Apologies if I messed up the game entirely, but I think we can do this. I slotted in Warfare after Carto, but haven't revolted or opened borders yet (as the Dovi are now between us and Flauros).

Got it.

Don't worry about the loss of the city, Diamondeye. Let's be glad it wasn't Flauros who decided to make the next move.

Dienekes & al: Unfortunately I will have to drop out of this game. I am in the middle of a move from Africa to Canada and my PC has been stuffed in a crate for the next 6 weeks or so. I thought I would be able to play from my laptop, but it turns out my video card can't handle Civ4.

Good luck with the game. I will lurk and could rejoin in August if you guys are still at it.

Cheers.

I understand, fromage. At the rate I'm playing my turns, you'll be back in time for the third rotation. Just curious, but where in Africa are you moving from?

My set will be posted tomorrow around this time.

I understand, fromage. At the rate I'm playing my turns, you'll be back in time for the third rotation. Just curious, but where in Africa are you moving from?

Moving form Casablanca, Morocco where I have lived and worked for 2 years, back to Canada.

Unfortunately, I upgraded to 3.19, which makes me unable to continue playing in this game. So I'll have to just be a dedicated lurker from now on.

 

[Diamondeye]

... As stated in the OoP thread, I'm going on vacation now, so I'll need a permaskip in that time.

I followed this thread and did not understand a damn thing/ Are there any example games on forum for those new to FFH?

BTW is it FFH1? Do you play it cause FFH2 is bugged or something?

Edit:

After learning more I understand the game better. I see you are planning deep bulb/beelining in magic branch to utilize racials.

Lurker bump:
Game died, I blame 3.19 patch!
Though, 3.19 compatible version is available already.

 

[cypher132]

Subscribing.



Edit: Or not..

 

[Meatbuster]

Yeah, I wanted this game to continue.

Anyone up for an FFH learning SG? No I won't host.

 

[Thrar]

I'm playing my second SP FfH game right now, if someone wants to host an SG I'm in!

 

[Meatbuster]

If someone will host an FfH SG I'm in too, just make it a low level and I hope someone (leader most likely) knows how to play it at least, so I can learn the ways of FfH.
