Kingreno vs Tubby Rower ***SPOILAH***

[Kingreno]

If you are Tubby Rower you better leave or I will nuke your ass back to the stone age.
















Da da, it is that time again. Another baby reached 6 months (almost) so time for new PBEM's. And since civ4 SUCKS it's good'ol civ 3.:D

Game info: The despicable Ottomans of Tubby Rower take on the Mighty Russians of myself. The game is played on Emperor level and we are joined by Carthage, Rome and the Celts on a small map that may, or may not, be continents. Our AI friends all have Ancient Era UU and I may say that it will be slaughterfestivity as far as I am concerned. Tubs chose our civs and he picked Russia and Otto for their cav units. This game will probably not get to that stage.

(excuse for the poor quality, I could only upload .GIF for some F-ing reason. IIRC from a year ago uploading JPEG was also ok. Please tell me how I can fix that, it will certainly improve spoilah-quality!)

Ok, I setled on the spot. Au contraire to Tubs who could not resist the cow. I chose to grab the extra turn. I will build a scout, research is set to alpha/25 turns.

Will update as regularly as I can.

Oh and hail to Beorn who made the map: [worship]

Nice to see you back writing spoilahs KR, looks good for a start, only one tiny mistake so far, line 2 words 19 to 22...

;)

Good luck in the game.

I'm with stupid. [lol]

What level's this. Demi or deity?

[Kingreno]

Emperor, as mentioned in line 3 somewhere. :D

Game progresses a bit, but at a slower pace.

I got no luck from Goody huts.

There was one in the south which gave 25 gold, the one I popped in the north gave a warrior. The lands seem unfriendly and I will need to work hard to get some form of production up. The only bonus thusfar is the cow near the capitol. I will send the north scout east to check for a suitable second city location.

[Kingreno]

A few turns later my luck changed and I got a village from a hut. A setles would have been a lot better but not complaining at all.

My second scout also reveiled the nearest AI, "mighty" Carthage. When looking at the demographs:

The main news here being that Carthage after 15 turns is still at size 1. Tubby managed to get to size 3 before me but since he is on zero growth now he must have missed quite a lot of commerce and shields compared to me. I have a settler in 2, and I am curious to see when Constantinople will build it's setller.

[Kingreno]

Hmm...

I just went to size 3 and the villagers in my cap are not unhappy...

I am affraid we are playing on Regent level...

But the show goes on, I popped a hut near Hannibal for CB and when I met Hanibal I traded:

Bear in mind I am only one turn from Alpha at this trade. After the telling Hani to start his ass on the pyramids asap it's now on to writing, in 18.

It seems that you do indeed. Does it say Regent when you load the save? It still can sometimes say Emperor but actually be on Regent. [confused]

[Kingreno]

It indeed says regent and IIRC (it has been a while...) that does reflect the actual level...

[Kingreno]

Time for an update.

Turn 37, play delayed a few tims due to Holiday commitments.

The map:

The city in the north was a found city from a goody hut, it produces 1 worker every 10 turns and commits one beaker for science per turn. The second city is the best location near my capitol though not very good by any standard. Carthage is still only one city, and for now the weakest AI. They have the Wheel, whilst I am up Mytsicism and just discovered writing; Philo in 11 turns. The capitol just completed it's granary.
As I expect to get to philo first, I will probably pick Map making and build a galley asap, then I will load it with 2 archers and head for Tubby just for the fun.

This is a real shame on me, fuck. I must have set the game difficulty to Emperor only in the game setting and not in the biq properties, or vice-versa.

There's several things I'd change if I could remake the whole thing but heh, gotta start somewhere I guess.

For the .gif issue, if you use a photobucket kind of site, you can just post a jpg in [IMG] tags.

[Kingreno]

Update!

First off: do not worry Beorn. It does change the game as we both play on the same level so the battle remains!

I Met Tubby (and Brennus) on turn 74:

My curragh met no other curraghs so Tubby either is scouting somehwere else or not at all. As you can see we have an embassy which Tubby decided to build last turn. Not too cheap probably so I am amazed he has that kind of cash! Could be goody huts or Celts (or Romans!).
Of course he could also have done some research.[:p]

Hellooo mr stone age.[cool]

I seem to be up Philo and Col while Tubby has Math (In the first pic there is a Catapult under the worker) and perhaps some other tech. (I use no mapstats). His math choice probably means he has Ivory and thus means to build Zeus! Smaller problem for me if he does it very soon.
However, Tubby faces a tough nut to crack as Putins scientists are a mere 4 turns away from Republic! [:o]

My empire is pretty decent and about the same size as Tubbies. He has a bit more production because of Industrious workers but I am catching up (no shields wasted to catapults for me!).

The lands are not easy and I will need an FP to the north soon. Hannibal is very nice and he is no danger yet. I will take him out as soon as I can though as the ideal FP location is to the west of Carthage...
If Tubby plans anything stupid I will try to have enough ships out at sea to get early warning, while my early republic will help reseacrhing more advanced units.

The Powergraph show decent stats, with only MFG a lousy second place. This is mainly due to 3 cities growing hard for increased commerce.
