View Full Version : **Spoiler For the team with hair*** No whomp/tubs
Sorta spoilerish
We can start a proper spoiler in a bit when
What do you think about the civs? Incan would be good as well as Mali. I am comfortable with them. Who do you want? I also woudlnt mind Qin or cathy. We need to make sure we get a varitey of opening techs if we can.
//BC..check your PMs here--Aloha business
ok, well im happy not being financial, MP games cottages take awhile to grow but are pretty quick to destroy, i dont mind really what civs. I like the upgrades of being aggressive and creative so what about Saladin?
Creative is great to not hav eto worry about stonehedge or culture builds
I think they will try to rush us adn out tech us..so one of us needs to be financial. how about I take Ican. Aggreesive and finacial and you take saladin ( or vice versa) Japan would also be good choice.
Saladin is a good choice..You can forget horses and use camels as alternatives....
My three choices...Incan,Qin,Cathy...
yup
Well mine is Saladin, Kublai, Caesar
they're fairly unlikely to give me caesar so i'd be happy getting the other two.
should also start considering who we want and dont want them to have.
id prefer neither to have cathy for a start.
yep...I agree..let me ook at theres to see who i think they should get.
Whomp...Kublai,Alexander techs to start...hunting and wheel, fishing and hunting
Tubby..Eliz,Qin, Ghandi tecsh to start...fish and mine,agr adn mine; myst and mine
So looks like they will start off with mining and hunting. I am thinking Eliz or ghandi for tubby and I cant decide on whomp.
If they give you or me a horse unit then we go with Kublai otehrwise spearmen will be realtivley useless.
well im up first, and my units are either horses or praets, so if i get romans then i dont mind but if i get horsies then i dont want them having alex with the phalanx. So he could be given kublai as well.
liz would probably be the best however it depends on their pics.
yep...go play your turn in RBvsBC
ok i think tubby should be liz. though we'll have to knock him out before redcoats.

Good luck on the idea. It is fun to give a really late UU and try and kill them before it comes into play. America in Civ3 anyone?
Interesting now that you don't want anyone to be Kathy. Scared a little are we?
nope were playing a different style of game than the one we're playing against you :)
I dont like financial civs, it may be the best yada yada yada just i prefer other traits.
i'd have preferred to get the creative trait behind me but ohwell have the might of the praets behind me :)
i think were gonna be choosing Kublai for Whomp, only need 1 or 2 spears to defend against their entire force.
yeah i think kublai...for whomp
they wont give me cathy....if they do they are in trouble.
I am qin...crossbows and finacial and a wonder boost which gives me forges....now we can run the forge slingshot or CS slingshot.
Give whomper Kubali
ok well i imagine they are going to make a large effort to take me out early, therefore i might need some help so that idea might end up bad :(
but yer othewise its a good idea.
do it..we could give him alex...
well we already gave him kublai a couple of hours ago rob :)
for some reason..my conmputer didnt refresh..i have issues with this site lately
everyone does, pp is looking at the site in a few weeks
ok heres my start

And heres your start
http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/6337/robsstart4ja.jpg
basically i think that AH should be our first tech, get bronze and then a few more worker techs then beeline to IW and machinery for our UU's
sounds good..I will probably settle in place cant see moving..trade a pig for a fish:)
I will move teh warrior to thd pig hill and see whats behind it..unless I see bettter site(doubtful) and I will stay. Panagea so remember to build a warrior for you capital adn leave it there.
The city where I am now will be a production powerhouse. IF we find more pigs...one of them is almost worth mining.
i'd move the warrior onto the forested hill as you'll open up more tiles to be viewed.
It's very interesting seeing what you make of things, now I just need Whomp/Tubbs to post their spoiler as well.
Thanks for the map Furiey...it looks interestign for both starts.
BC northEast or due south...
Pigs better in my opinion IF you are talking about the south forest hill. (diagonals are better). I agree with NE and will do that.
yup meant the hill north east and thanks again furiey but you know what they're like, be a few months after they've lost before they post a spoiler.
ok if i ever get ANY saves today I willplay it...
(come on where's the head to head save...dont be afraid its at least a few more turns before I attack you .)
i sent you one before, i just keep forgetting to play the one you sent back, ive got like 10 MP games on the go now, its hard to remember what to send and what not to send.
hahahah..thats why I limited my to 5 or so...
meh when your as good as i am *puffs out chest* you can do anything.
That and im living through TNT's final turns :(
tubs told me via msn the save is coming your way
check out what I reveiled tundra to my south...head north to find them. My warrior will get rid of the black between us. I also have stone and gems in my next culture pop and I see a 2 fish location. Let me know what you think
Just make sure you play sober.../joking
its been a good weekend :D
:p 17! Gawwwwwd what kinda person you think i am????
well anything within 3 years is fair game right??? youngin
Let me know what you think once you get the save.
erm no 3 years would equal 15, that'd be illegal and have me right off to prison :D
bwhahaha....I keep forgetting 18. I was still thinking 21 :)
/we are spamming our own spoiler thread...nice.
well its been a slow weekend :D
send me a save them in our game..huh?
Its not my fault you killed your warrior on my quechen.
oh right thought i'd sent it tbh.
ill send it on now.
Then guess what im doing this evenin???
i bet you all wish you were 18 again :D

[evil]
im hoping tubs will come and have a look round my territory letting me kill it.
Oh yeah I forgot to tell you...
I won teh first battle. Rob's Warrior 1.... whomps scout 0. He walked into me adn tried to save himself by fortifying, Funy thing is...I almost didnt see him Was gettign ready to move in another direction adn then i say him there...plying dead alomst worked for Whomp.
BC curve your warrior scouting back towards the NW. Tubby should be right up there almost due north of you based on where his scout came from. Whomp should be to my NE.
yer was planning on-just looking for hills to gain vantage points
pop that hut before they can...worth the risk to hit it now instead of them getting it. I poped a scout..he is heading aroudn towards the black in the middle of us to clear it.
They dont know where I am..if they will do an early attack..they will send it to you.
i dont think they will- they know we start with warriors so realise they must defend-that and they start with scouts so would have to build a unit to defend.
where is teh save with these guys..
I noticed he had 2 warriors about to attack your warrior..run away man run away. Make him chase you into a trap or maybe we can sneak a unit to hit his city once they chase you.
i sent the save on to casey about 2/3 hours ago, while that is sound advice if i'd of read it in time it may have made a difference but i didnt, i ignored it and attacked the warrior on the plains :D ive got another warrior headed that way to cause some agro though so it doesnt matter if its killed :)
Glad to hear this game is still progressing, I was wondering if it was still going or not.
yeah sorry for lack of updates furiey but you know how the first 100 or so turns of a civ4 pbem tend to be pretty boring.
HEY BC...time to start using this thread again...things are picking up
I looked at the save that was sent for you. Tubby hasnt hooked up copper yet has he? And he appears to be just building warriors. other than that 1 worker have you seen any other workers. They appear to be Tubby researching and whomp building. Whomps GNP has never been above 0. Do you think you can get 2 chariots over there and attack him. I think 2 chariots vs a 1 warrior city has a chance. I have a warrior in the area and I will attempt to pillage any improvements.
Any other plans?
keep that warrior back and wait to see where he plans his new city, then go to the new city and hamper it.
i was planning on sending the first chariot over, just ot pillage the copper if he gets it hooked up and then continuosly building them for about 10 turns and sending them over.
OK i am out of his view now...just keep dancing that scout around so we can see where he goes with the settler.
Good to see this still going - please post some screenies if you have time, I'd be interested to see what you have explored and how your empires are growing.
still not past the first cities yet furiey, though we've scouted out tubby's and whomps lands i dont think they've fully got ours.
BC Our plan worked perfectly.
I dont know whats going to hurt Tubby more...
The name sake of the city in the picture or the fact that the city is dead next turn baring some miracle.

awesome, looks like his nuts will be even more tender now.
So that should give us a huge advantage. Why dont you hold that chariot back and wait for a second one. We could end Tubby really quickly if we pull his warriors away from the city.
I cant believe he would settle without a unit covering his butt. I am glad I walked over that way to hassle Tubby
because i want to get that chariot on the copper, without the copper he can't build anything that will be able to combat the chariots.
gotcha...After hitting his city i will walk over to the copper also and fortify. 1 chariot and a warrior will need more than 3 warriors if my math is right.

Congrats guys! I guess that the first city razed in the game and very tender Tubby's nuts proved to be too!
That city iirc got re razed as tubby resettled the exact same position with one warrior whilst i had chariots running around.
Anywhoo current situation
tubbys capital-just trying to starve it right now really
http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/2305/civ4screenshot0197xs2.jpg
my capital- whomp has a chariot heading towards me, its passed by robboo's capital without him killing it so next up on the agenda is a couple of spears to build.
http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/1129/civ4screenshot0198sl2.jpg
Heres rob's collection of cities- im not sure what he's doing right now tbh, mainly defensive i think until i can turn my chariots around and come help him
http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/9456/civ4screenshot0199kf2.jpg
whomps capital-http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/6798/civ4screenshot0200tz5.jpg
from what i can see he got the worst one but then tubby got the best so maybe it would have equaled out
My one city has been the highlight of the world for the last millania or two, robs two are cathing up now
http://img107.imageshack.us/img107/6725/civ4screenshot0201yq9.jpg
im gonna reinforce tub's capital with a few more chariots and a praet or two then attack- theres no rush as whomp is quite far away so unable to lend much of a hand.
Tubs is really suffering there!
I have a few axes going up to attack whomp..building nothing but axes in my capital. I couldnt catch his chariot..I never got within a square to kill it. I think I can get up and get whomps copper and other improvements.
Forgot to update this, basically it's over now, i completly overwhelmed tubby with chariots cutting his copper supply early and then just wated for enough to arrive to smack the shit outa him. he tried settling two more cities, both times they were razed.
Whomp tried an unsuccessfull (yep spelt wrong) bid afterwards to raze my capital but i'd seen him coming and got a defence out, he conceded a few turns later.
