Tiny Hellions!

[mauiduck]

Germany celebrates 50 turns with more military and our fine Swordsmen cut through the Russian archers corp like a hot knife through butter. plans to lay siege to Moscow are now under way and we are confident that city may fall to us soon.

Friday 1125 EST:

I will hang in there tonight for a little bit longer, hoping we can do another turn...

EDIT: Friday 1154 EST Okay now I go to bed. Request since you guys were both online tonight: could we try and commit to getting several turns done over the weekend? More than one a day at least?

 

[joespaniel]

Maui - whats up?

I havent gotten a save in over 4 days, are you...alive?

 

[mauiduck]

Joe, I never got latest save from SB.

 

[Sultan Bhargash]

oh, right blame it on me... I sent it to you, you posted about it in post #241. There has not yet been a turn 51. So either you didn't send it to Joe or Joe didn't get it. I always play my turn within an hour of it showing up in my email and send it on to you immediately!

 

[joespaniel]

Glad to hear from you, maui. I thought a surf monster might have got'cha.

ok, I checked the saves, I dont have it, so one of you guys do.

If you want me to re-send the last one I have, let me know.

 

[Sultan Bhargash]

No the last one you have is 50, right?

Already played that one. And Maui posted as having played it. He needs to send it again to you.

 

[joespaniel]

Mongols (turn50)

Pulled back our forces at Kiev, waiting for new swordsmen to arrive.
Workers busy connecting cities, and bringing more luxuries to our capitol.

Game sent to SB.

 

[Sultan Bhargash]

After a long hiatus, turn 51, Ottomans:

Yes in our benevolence we simply give the Germans back the iron which had come under our cultural border. Maybe we were glad Mauiduck wasn't a victim of the Maui shark attack today. Maybe playing against human brains/personalities a LOT different from playing the AI (who would have to drag that iron out of my dead clenched fist!)

Note to you guys: I am about to go on a business trip to New Orleans which will last till after thanksgiving. I have equipped my laptop to play out the turns but the turnaround will probably a bit slower for me (ie 24 hours instead of the standard 10 minutes it takes me to get the email, play the turn and send it on to Maui here in the backwoods of Virginnie...)

 

[mauiduck]

OK off to Joe...not much happening for us except that our army of swordsmen continued to march towards the remaining Russian city. Our settler is but a couple turns away of settling "Rhineland" and it appears as it will serve as the border of our lands. BTW the shark attack happened just down the road here. But it happened at a place near an outfall and she was outside a hundred yards out which is where the drop-off is. It sucks but think of it this way, you have a better chance of being killed in a car wreck on Maui than a shark attack....

 

[joespaniel]

Mongols (turn52)

Scout must pass through Ottoman territory to return home, no offense meant by this action.

We have replenished our SoD and will move against Kiev again in a few turns.

Save to SB.

 

[Sultan Bhargash]

okay, no worries on the scout Oh Noble Mongol Khan.
(I think we all know how tempting scouts can be... )

No news to report for us. Another glorious temple was erected in the far quarter of our empire and now we look to create a meaningful trade system.

Guys I have to be at a conference tommorow and may not be able to post another turn till saturday...

 

[mauiduck]

Got save from SB...no worries on your turn. Have fun at the conf......Germany produces more military units and moves our swordmen towards the front. Our first division of Swordmen is wiped out by a Russian steriod-enhanced group of Spearmen but the Second Alpine Division finds success. Our complement of spearmen have fortified just outside the walls of Moscow while three more divisions are ready to cross the Alps and join our settler who is one turn away from being in position to found "Weinland"...on to Joe

 

[joespaniel]

Mongols 53

Hmm... We have to sidetrack and frag a couple barb camps, so Kiev will wait another round or so.

Scout moving past Berlin, no cause for alarm...

Save off to SB.

 

[joespaniel]

Mongols 54

Barbarians pay the ultimate price for wandering to close to Mongolia.
All 3 got thwacked!

Building some settlers to "fill out" areas to the east, since this is becoming "little Afghanistan", a barb camp breeding ground.
Plus there is ivory there...

I am at a loss for a strategy at this point. Are we merely going to attack each other or allow the game to progress for awhile?

Please let me know what your intensions are.

Save to SB.

 

[mauiduck]

Germany builds Weinland!! Our swordmen take up their positions in the new city and great ready to0 move out towards Moscow. Our wounded division of Swordmen hightail it back to Weinland. Our people have slaved themselves to death to produce another settler so that we might found another city to the southeast as per our plans. As Germany stated in our manifesto, Weinland represents the northern most expansion of Germany and that our plans are to expand to the southeast away from everyone. While we may be a military power our forces are being mustered for defence and security, not offense......on to Joe

 

[joespaniel]

TH 55

Forces amassed, the attack on Kiev resumes next turn. 3 more veteran swordsmen will be finished next turn as well, then a new wave of settlers shall begin.

Save to "5 day".

 

[Sultan Bhargash]

Back on the scene, crispy and clean...

Turn 55. A new barracks goes up, civil unrest ends in our capital when we throw a free concert, the Sultan follows the news of the sack of Kiev with concern over a warlike world...

 

[mauiduck]

Germany on...Our race towards mechanized might continues as our three complement of swortdsmen race towards Moscow. Our Spearman in the field deftly pulled up camp and retreated towards thge untapped iron in the nbearby hills in order to draw what appears to be the last offensive weapon in their arsenal. Our commanders hope that the Swordsmen will be bale to lay waste to the unsuspecting Russian division of Archers

 

[joespaniel]

Killed more barbs, troops at the gates of Kiev.

Game to SB.
