Thanks to chiefness, I got into the e mail account, I will play it in a sec

 

[Emp.Napoleon]

The Eastern Homeland
There are 9 units in th CDZ stack, 36 in the CGN stack. I would post the names, but I would be banned for it.

 

[Emp.Napoleon]

The Northern Homeland.
33 units in the CDZ Stack, all military but one settler

 

[Emp.Napoleon]

Iron Island:
6 in Eastern CDZ stack
6 in Southern CGN stack
6 in Northern CGN stack

 

[Emp.Napoleon]

The Homeland

 

[RegentMan]

Don't play yet! Let the team talk and plan for as long as we can. Are you sending the save and password around?

 

[Emp.Napoleon]

The Save is sent, and I am not playing, just posting sceen shots. Rik will play it afeter we talk about it.

 

[RegentMan]

What good is a save with no password?

 

[classical_hero]

We should have done so much more dmage to C3B than we did. We were way to timid, when we should have been attacking right from the start.

 

[akots]

@c_h: That would have resulted in only in losing earlier.

Seems that is an impressive army. But we can survive for ... 4 turns, may be even full 5.

 

[classical_hero]

It certainly shows the great respect the other teams hhave for us if they have decided that we were such a threat for the whole world to attack us.

 

[Provolution]

Try to build a defense wall in the Mountains of Kamina, and retreat all our troops there.
Try to hold up in the Isthmus area as long as possible. Max out gold where we can so we can fuel our military as long as possible. Unless we go for the one tiles (making East Point into a settler), the only defensible position is around Khazad Doom.

 

[Donovan Zoi]

Bunkered-in Feudalism was the only way for us to have stayed in this game. Go back and read my pitch again......and weep.

I wouldn't go so far as to say I predicted this, but at least under my plan we would have been more prepared.

 

[Provolution]

DZ, where is that pitch, I would love to read it.

 

[Donovan Zoi]

Here ya go, Provo. Possibly my last passionate exchange on behalf of a demoGame:

Making the Case for a Feudal Government

In a subsequent poll, my plan lost 7-5. However, it was only 14 turns ago, so it may not have made much difference here anyway. I did pitch the idea near the end of my Presidency as well(approx. turns 45-50). I may be alot of things, but shortsighted is not one of them.

 

[ali]

maybe we can disrupt the grand alliance, divide and conquer, this is what I propose, we approach one of the teams and offer land, territory, resources, money and offer our full allegiance and that we become a satillate/puppet state to the team we approch and that all foreign affairs will be handled by this other team, in return for military and poilitical support, than we redeploy our troops and attack the other teams with the support of the team we approached, than we secretly rebuild our strenth and kick some major ass, just like Germany after 1st world war.

 

[ali]

please people have hope, we can still snatch victory from the jaws of defeat

 

[Appelkvist]

I agree with ali, perhaps it is time to sell our pride. Or at least reconsider that.

 

[Rik Meleet]

WTH ??

I'm gone for 5 days and the empire is in trouble ??

 

[RegentMan]

See what happens when you leave Rik? And we're more than "in trouble."

Now is not the time to say, "Well we should have" or "Well had we done this." It is now time to plan our exile to those islands. It will be very unlikely that it will work, however it is our only way out. My hope to fortify Resisting Isle looks to be undoable.

Do we abandon any cities? Do we let our proud cities fall to these barbarians? Remember, razing our own cities will make their conquest faster.
