This is the start of the 1 on 1 vs joedoe21. From what i can remember it is a standard map, 6 AI, warlord difficulty, roaming barbarians, the rest was random.
joedoe chose egypt, I chose the Arabs.
AI opponets are Russia, Carthage, Rome, Germany (and the greeks i think)
The game is up to 1225BC at the moment, I hope to post catch up notes here over the next week or so.
Here is my starting position, joedoe21 and myself agreed to the option of choosing a restart, but I thought my start was ok, 3 bg and gems.

Ok, updated to 1225BC, not worth filling in what happened, because it has been uneventful. I have acted as middleman tech broker between russia, rome and carthage. At least in this game there is a bit of spread between myself and joedoe21 (actaully I hav'tn found hime yet!)
I only just noticed while making the screen shots that I hav'nt found the russian territory. I must say that what I thought was a good start turned out to be shite. just north of Mecca, was a bit more grassland to settle (enough for 1 more city), then the rest of the land up there was tundra.
To the south was the tibetian mountains and over that to the south is the sahara desert on to the west of the mountains the amazon jungle. Although I did find a bit just north west of the mountains with spices and forest in which I settled Medina (which someday shall produce a famous tank division, and it will do better than the poor unfortunate real life example)
Joedoe has slipped on the score board, he tells me he made some silly mistakes against the germans. Sounds as if he is far way from me then.
Here is the current situation

270BC not much happening in this game yet. Hav'nt found Joedoe21, he must be on another continent. I share this continent with Rome, Carthage and Russians. I have the worst land to settle. Two out of two crappy 1 on 1 starts. Says alot for getting somebody to make a map. Here is a pic as of 270BC

I have settler in the mountains near rome, rome also has one, next to mine. Notice the location of the russian city....all hills and desert, that reeks of future resource. I will have to capture that city at least to fill my cultural borders in, although i think it would be better next to the coast at least i could get that fish in the city squares. I guess the town is right on top of the future resource.

I just noticed on that screen shot a barb camp up in the north east tundra. Also forgot to mention I have built the pyramids in Mecca. I am building the great library, just to make sure nobody else gets it.
I have circum-naviagted the continent plus two empty islands (although that from that last screen shot looks like Carthage has settled on the south East island). There is lots of sea squares north of the north west island but i have lost one galley already out there. I will need the lighthouse if i'm to find Joedoe.
Medina is my miltary output centre at the moment. I plan to produce a few swords and push rome back (sooner rather than later). They have iron on their territory....but last i looked it was'nt hooked up.
I am also desparetly in need of workers to clear the jungle and hook up my empire. I glad this game is only warlord, the AI would be killing me by now otherwise.
I established embassies in all 3 AI's. Rome and Carthage were building wonders (oracle and hanging gardens i think?). Russia has some nice land. I have parked a warrior on iron just outside there land. I also thinking of beating them up first and plonking a forbidden palace over there. That means my galleys are required back home for ferrying.

170AD built the great lighthouse which triggered a golden age. I never relised that would happen. I just wanted it to help me find joedoe.
190AD, Russia has 2 settler/warrior combo near Narjan. I ask here to move.
Checked Diplo with Romans, they have no iron, I try to investigate Rome, but nothing seems to happen. I check diplo again and Romans are only cautious instead of polite, seems a bit odd. Declare war on the romans, move 4 swords into Roman lands near Antium. (City of Rome has the great library by the way)
210AD Russia still has'nt moved. I ask again and she moves them out of my territory but closer to vladivostok, bugger, might as well of not bothered.
I just relised i was going to change to republic after building the great lighthouse...damn i'm in a golden age and despotic.
It only took 1 sword to take Antium, i raze it since it overlaps with Narjan and is close to Rome and i want to keep my swords on the attack for Rome.
Notice Roman spear/settler combo b/w medina and bagdad. I move sword from mountains back towards them
230AD move 3 swords closer to Rome, leave the forth behind river to heal in no mands land.
2 Galleys are now moving into deeper sea water. One to the north west and the opther to the south east of the continent.
Take out spear/settler combo near Bagdad, good need the slaves to clear some jungle.
Realise that i am religous so change of government will be 1 turn, so begin the revolt.
Another thing i have relised, i have no horses and the Romans do, so that will be my second objective after Rome, but i'm not sure where they are, need to look at the sav again for that

Russia has built Novograd in the Desert near Bagdad almost cutting of my road to Narjan. I negotiate right of passage and give russia world map and 60g in the process. i need road access to Narjan and Rome.
First sword to reach Rome was an elite, so i attacked and killed a spearman, sword reduced to three. Also move healed sword from river into roman territory. Next turn he was red so must have been attcked by a horse. i moved sword out of rome territory to heal.
Attacked Rome again with two vet swords, lost one sword, killed one spear. Still see full strength spear in Rome, attacked with elite sword and killed spear, my elite sword is now 2 strength.
I only have 1 full strength vet sword and 2 strength Elite sword left at Rome, will i risk it again next turn, there maybe only one defender left, i have killed 3 already
In the meantime another sword south east of Bagdad attacked and captured visconium (defended by 1 warrior) (hmm its not on the last picture i posted maybe time for an update).

290AD. Used full strength vet sword at Rome, defeated spear...Rome falls the great library is mine. Attacked roman spear with settler north of Najan, victory, 2 more slaves for me.
Moved 2 more wwords from Medina, headed west to clean up Roman jungle cities and what is rightfully my territory.
Moved Galleys around sea areas, no land bridge in sight [sad]

300 AD
Got Polyethism from research (i was only 2 turns away when i got the GL)
Got Monarchy and Monoethism from GL (maybe i got Mono as i moved to medi -evil age, are arabs scientific).
set tax to 100%
hmm Rome looks weak, might go on the rampage. I have 7 swords roming about now. Najan is producing 1 every 3 turns.

this game has been going very slowly in the last 3 weeks...joedoe has been sick and has lots of homework...he's doing final year of high school so i suspect it will get worse before it gets better.
Played turn 360AD
Took Lugdunum on the west coast with 1 sword.
Galley on west coast found a peice of land, no territory borders, it could be just another island you never know.
I have Army group center massing near veii and comprises of 4 swords
Army group north is scatted b/w Lugdunum, Kufae and Pisae and comprises of 4 swords.
Army Group centres goals are veii then pompei
Army Group north will form a pincer movement on Pisae and Cumae and hopefully encircle the cows north east of cumae.
(I have been reading this book called Stalingrad, hence all the fancy strategic lingo).
Here is a 360AD screen shot, focusing on the new land found.

390AD
Greece popped up with an offer of feudalism or engineering (i forget) for republic and 30 gold...instead trade lit and monarchy for communications with germans, spanish and egypt(joedoe). i will wait for the GL to give me feudalism. Greece has 400 odd gold i should have sold them repuplic.
I sell literature and monarchy around to germans and the spanish. and take all there money (i netted about 300 gold) and maps. I was able to offer joedoe: monarch, lit, republic and monoethism so he is behind greece on tech but about par with the others.
Here is the world map

So what are your plans after the trading? Build a military and run Russia over or finish Rome off?
digger760
11-06-2003, 14:02
I am in the process of finishing off rome...it is hard to tell the difference between Rome and carthage on the minimap..and even my screen it is hard to see (i got it for free) the difference but i think rome have 2 cities left.
FP in Rome...might consolidate while army group centre and army group north gather to the Russo/Carthage borders. Might start setting up shipping lanes to Greece

Why would you want to attack Greece? Get your own continent because having cities near joedoe will probably just hurt you.
digger760
11-06-2003, 14:27
i only said i was setting up a shipping lane...which means assessing were to set up ie habours, transit time, massing boats over there, so that down the track when i own my continent i will have the means to attack the other continent already organised.
If i get russia i will also look at setting up a shipping lane over there to germany.
Since joedoe is behind in tech i will try to keep his entire continent slow by taking all there money. I might go for the king hit ala Kemal style vs ProPain, except have beach landings on joedoes north and south shore.
