Game over Hair is for losers NO BCLG or RObboo

[Tubby Rower]

if your name is Simon or Rob..... Think twice about looking at what we are thinking as your head may explode!!!!

[Tubby Rower]

so what civs do we want them to have??

I think Asoka should be one of them

[Whomp]

Here are Simon's choices....
Caesar, Saladin and Kublai
and Robboo's...
Incan,Qin,Cathy

I think Saladin for Simon and Roboo Incans.
What do you think?

[Tubby Rower]

So we have to give them one of their 3 choices? What are the Incans? I think that as much overlap as possible on starting techs. Giving them 2 spiritual civs is a mistake though. I hope they make that mistake with us.. as we could get all of the religions.

[Whomp]

OK here are the traits for Simon..
Caesar organized/expansive....fishing/mining
Saladin philo/spirit...myst/wheel
Kublai aggress/creative....hunt/wheel
For Rob...
Incans aggressive/financial. Ag/myst
Qin indust/fin....ag/mining
Cathy creat/fin...hunt/mining

That tells me Cathy and Kublai or Qin and Caesar.

[Tubby Rower]

I just wrote a long post about which two that I thought would be good and then re-read the starting techs and it blew out my entire arguement...


I think that the aggressive trait could be a bonus on a tight map so I'd steer clear of the Incans or Kublai. Qin and Caesar are fine by me.

[Whomp]

OK done. I think we pick for Simon then they pick for you then Robboo then me.

[Tubby Rower]

Why is picking civs so complicated? I just perfer Random. He's a nice guy you know.

[Furiey]

BCLG has played the first turn and started posting spoilers. I'm curious to see how this game unfolds so although I kept you waiting that's no excuse to keep us waiting now!

C'mon - post some spoilers! [whipped]

[Tubby Rower]

I played my turn but didn't have enough time to post a pic....

I started researching BW (due in 17). I have 2 pigs and Whomp has 2 cows... How appropriate Furiey [thumbsup]

I'll try to remember next round.

[Furiey]

I couldn't resist!

[Tubby Rower]

it's a few turns late but here is my land. I have a scout to the south

[Furiey]

So 6 months on - got any new cities yet?

[Tubby Rower]

did. but as soon as I planted, there was a Robboo warrior 2 tiles away. unfortunately my warrior was 3 tiles away. It was presumably razed this turn... I'm building another settler currently. I have a horse pasture, pig farm, copper mine, gold mine, and a FP. So I'm getting a good return on the settler build.

[Furiey]

Ah yes - make sure your next Settler has some tougher nuts....

[Tubby Rower]

ouch.. my nuts are pretty tender at the moment. Robboo's warrior has stomped on them pretty hard.

[Beorn]

Chestnuts maybe? Harder to stomp on, big ribcage support ...

[Furiey]

My horse's nuts are soon to get a similar treatment..

[Whomp]

Sorry Tubs. That was tough luck and a great spot too. I'll be sending escorts with my settler I think.

With sailing and boats hopefully we can sneak in their backdoor.
What should be research next?

[Tubby Rower]

horse nuts...


I think that we should go for Construction so we can build cats.

[Furiey]

My horse happens to be a chestnut...

[admiral kutzov]

Sorry furiey, I just wanna call whomp lard ass and I'm being indiscrimate about where I post.

all this stompting of nuts is vaguely disturbing...

[Tubby Rower]

well I'm looking dead in this game.. I'll post a picture when I play tonight

[Furiey]

Eeek!

I was hoping to see nicely growing empires at the next update!

[Whomp]

Yep it's not looking good for Tubs. He's got 4 chariots marching on his capital.

[Tubby Rower]

and I've been packing getting ready for the move. So I haven't had a lot of time to play the save. Freaking builder mentality!!

[Tubby Rower]

well here is my current situation. I still stand a chance since I'm making a new warrior every turn.

[Furiey]

Not good, as long as they don't disrupt your Warrior builds or more Chariots arrive... Can Whomp come to the rescue?

[Whomp]

We're pretty far away but I am thinking of sending my two chariots (the light in the south of the minimap) that are near Robboo towards Simon.

[Tubby Rower]

I'd bet that Simon has emptied out his lands.

[Beorn]

If you keep making warriors can you mass upgrade them to spears?

[Tubby Rower]

if I ever get my copper re-connected

[Whomp]

Tubs I'm not sure how I can help but getting some cats to hammer him with should help too.

[Tubby Rower]

no probs. He just kept sending them.. I have killed a few at the beginning, but losing two cities as soon as they were founded suck big hairy monkey balls

[Furiey]

You lost 2? I heard about the first but 2 really sucks!

[Tubby Rower]

Well I'[m not sure of the status of the game anymore. I was doomed and I didn't want to hold up the game anymore. So I started attacking the chariots that were very quickly filling up my land. Simon put 1 on each square of my capital (only city). All I could do is build warriors :( I did manage to take out a couple of them. Turns out he was waiting on his praets to come finish the job.

Sorry Whomp that you had such an incompetent partner.

[Whomp]

It's no thing Tubs. I'm shocked he was able to knock out that many units tbh. Should we give them the "W"? I have the save at home.

[Tubby Rower]

He said that it should be wrapped up unless you got "really lucky". So I think that they have the W whether or not we give it to them [col]

[BCLG100]

good game guys, i was 1 or 2 turning chariots and 2 turning praets at the end, admitedly i only had the one city.

[Whomp]

Nice game guys. Those chariots were ridiculous!

[Robboo]

Dang it..I had axes heading to whomps land.. :)

You guys really got unlucky. My warrior fell into Tubbys settler. Otherwise yall would have had a better chance.

[Robboo]

additional post

I have to give BC credit...My plan was 2/3 cities then smack Whomp. BC decided he would do nothing but units and once he got cranking it was a chariot every turn or two. I have to say IT was a thing of beauty and i plan on trying that again at a future date.

[Furiey]

I can't believe this finished so quickly, I thought I'd got things much more evenly balanced than that.

[BCLG100]

You had, just i don't think tubby was fully expected for war, he had by far the best starting position imo.

[Tubby Rower]

true.... I made a mistake by unescorting a settler, and then proceeded to waste resources on trying to replace said dead meat twice I think. By then I was swarmed by Simon's patented "screwed by horse" procedure
