Time for some bullying (or not)

Oh yea, good set :goodjob:

Can't believe I forgot to say that :S - In my defense, I was kinda in a hurry and was about to leave for work so I just glanced over things

Good point about a non GArtist GP, a Golden Age would definitely help us crank another 1 or maybe 2 GArtists faster.

Will adjust EP for demographics but at this point only a big DoW can stop us from winning.

Will play in a few hours, there should be 2 or 3 turnsets left to finish the game.

I'll start thinking on another SG soon. Probably more war-inclined if you know what I mean

Not a very detailed report as there isn't anything to report really...

Typical turn:
worker assignments (only for a while, automated soon)
press F1 check specialists
check trades
adjust specialists in culture cities
Enter

Turn 239 IHT:
Add suggestions to ensure Pig farm gets another GA next (Horice/Lolco work more tiles less artists and Pig farm works some deficit food).
Buy peace and re-get our gold anyway.

Turn 245: GA is born. MM cities so Pig Farm gets the next GP again.

Turn 246: Automate workers... nothing left to do.

Built Moai in Yayoi.

Rally point set for Horice - only 1 city assigned to building rifles, it's not worth it so much at this point.

Start seeing some of these guys.

Turn 253: GA born, bomb Pig Farm -> MM Horice to get next GP faster (hopefully GA)

Buy peace so it's Peach vs Blue only.

City revolts...

GAs... we only got GAs! - All got bombed. For those keeping count, that's 10 GAs so far.

Def Pact with Red MM. Doesn't mean much but still...

Peach goes on the offense!

Sent him packing.

Turn 261: stop

Next player should finish the game, imo. Or I could even finish it tonight if the team wants me to.

Did the math and we'll only get 2 more GP in this game so no three-way bomb unfortunately

End turn status

Spoiler :

I haven't built any Islamic Temples/Mosques, but maybe we should build one to help the city that will not get another GA bomb? (Build temples in Cow-misser+Akwar+Horice then Mosque in Horice -> bomb Lolco and Pig Farm)

Wow, great game! Way to keep the other Mansu's busy with Blue. Who's next, and what's the next SG going to be?

mjg5591 · Dec 6, 2009

Nice set Kossin. Doesn't matter to me if you finish game or next person. Game is won just the tedious work of finishing.

It's some form of bullying, right, right?

Well, I was thinking alongside some kind of Always war or a forced peace/war game with some WB edits.
Ideas so far: (Emp/Normal - thinking of adding huts+Events as it's a SG for fun!)

-AW on Team_Battleground -> Four Corners. 2 vs 2+2+2 or 1v1+1+1 or 1V2+2+2
It's not too difficult if you have an AI with you (especially if he's chosen) but alone vs 3 AIs can be difficult. vs 6 AI is actually easier I find as they all have less cities.

-Pangea with 7 AIs. 8 people. Each civ gets 4 opponents and 4 buddies
Never tried this but it could be interesting

-FFA AW (WB to make everyone at war with everyone) on whatever map (preferably not continent-based as that could prove quite difficult if an AI steamrolls on the other continent)
This is quite fun but it really isn't that hard from my experience, you just tech to a lead and then use cannons on everyone.

If someone else pitches in, I just might finish it.

@all
You're all welcome to the next SG, you can pitch ideas too if you'd like, or vote on the three I proposed above.

That sounds good to me. I tend to be a lousy mid-game warmonger. I never know how much of a SoD I need, or when to sign a cease fire to rebuild it, etc. So I tend to have early conflict, and then wait until late game to finish off a victory.

So, I would love to play an SG with more conflict.

I'm in.

Sounds like I would be happy with any of these choices.

Never been good at AW, but I'm learning due to players here. The peace/war, every time I try that it always comes up peace.

I'll try that off-line, that sounds like fun!

Sounds fine to me, you're the host. Fitting that you finish!

It's set to Peace by default, you need to go in WB to the diplomacy tab and change it to war.

Will finish the game in a few moments and post the results...

Myself, I'd like the Pangea 3 war / 3 peace neighbors (4/4 would require 8 AIs which is too crowded, not sure what I was thinking!) option.

In this case, I'd do the WB edits again and put myself at the end of the roster. Any picks on AIs or just random leaders?
What about our leader? Do we pick a strong economic leader, a defensive one, or SB to ensure we don't get screwed by the RNG?

kossin · Dec 7, 2009

Well, I'm glad to report a X in the W column, although it was kinda obvious from a while ago

Not much to report, so I'll just post in spoilers with mostly screenshots with a line here and there.

Didn't resize anything as it's over.

Spoiler :

It turned out to be a pretty easy game as I had thought. Our biggest challenge all game was barb spears and a barb HA later

I'll start the next thread and post a link here shortly. Looking for some thoughts about which variant should be used and leader(s).

All right VICTORY. Who would ever think Monty winning culture. :lol:

bestsss · Dec 7, 2009

Grats guys, but monthy is good for culture, very cheap temple whips...

kossin · Dec 7, 2009

Indeed, Monty is very good at Culture, as is every spiritual leader

Bonus points to Monty for being a whip-olic midgame.

cripp7 · Dec 8, 2009

Points to Monty for being a peaceful guy and not going on a warpath!

mlinneak · Dec 8, 2009

That was a fun and interesting game :lol:

Thanks for the game, kossin, I will be lurking your next one with interest. Sorry I missed the signups.

kossin · Dec 8, 2009

Well, I might start another one alongside KoS2 if there's enough people willing to join (different roster to allow more people a chance to play).
