View Full Version : ERIKK - COL PBEM SPOILER
Turn 4:
I have a mediocre location near a river with woods, a couple of hills, a few bonus grass and some silks. Popped two huts, got Ceremonial Burial and Bronze Working. I was happy not to pop a city because the site would have sucked. I am in the southern hemisphere, I see ice yet. This means I will also be in the grassland areas of this world :)
Will post a pic soon...

Just found the 3rd hut. Not much huts considering the lands I have uncovered!

Turn 22:
Some turns ago I got a city out of a hut. It is near jungles, far away and has no bonus tiles, so it is pretty worthless. Maybe it will be usefull in the later game :) I guess I will use it for worker rushing. I have met the Arabs and was unable to trade. After that: nothing, no civ and only 3 huts opened so far. The Arabs and me will have much room to expand!

who is col playing?
The Chinese (lightblue). He has plenty of lands to fill up. I though I had a
load of land but he has even more! I think this map has only 60% ocean. The
AI's grow quite fast. Look at the Greeks, they have 3 more than me and I had
an extra city (which is producing a worker in every 10 turns).
Turn 71:
Nothing happening. Game slowly gets more interesting though!

turn 75:
A buch hoplites showed up at my nothern front!!!!
YES, they are the green civ and have walked some 30
or 40 turns the get to me! What are they up to????
ERIKK, turn 80 huh? That's not the same as in an earlier game. Aren't you prepared?
in the nothern city there is 1 warrior i can have 2 more units there in 2 turns.
(it is the worker town (free city)).
So you took a risk. AI is known for doing this. You know everything about it ;)
Live life on the edge and trying not to fall!!! ;)
turn 128:
Col is currently attacking the Iroquois with some succes but my scout
oversaw at least 3 horsies die in the Iroquios turns. He also lost 1
city to the Iroquois but cpatured 4 or 5 now. The Iroquois are ready
to be killed now. I have 17 horses waiting to be upgraded (Chivalry
in 7 turns). Does anybody know how expensive it is for an upgrade to
a Keshik (60 shields)? I am prebuilding them with temples in all my
cities.

Upgrade cost : 10 shields = 20 gold
Horse to Keshik = 30 to 60 shields = 60 gold
(horses to knights = 40 shields = 80g)
Turn 142:
In turn 141 I finally had enough units (22 Keshiks) for a fast war.
The Arabs had still spears in their towns. With little culture the
razing party is now going on strong! In 2 turns I razed 5 cities and
had 0 loses. I allied the Persians for a nothern front but that
seems to be a waste of money. The Arabs have warriors, swords and a
few pikes. Against my now 23 (soon 28) Keshiks they have no chances of
survival (I disconnected their horses). The leader waiting game has
just started, no luck so far [ponder]

Meanwhile Col has severe flip problems as he also has almost 0 culture
and keeps on capturing Iroquois cities. I think he has at least 5
flips in his 50(?) turn war agaist them. Still, I think he will soon
capture the Pyramids which will help his large empire big time.
He probably is parking *all* his units outside the captured cities and just retaking them when they flip...it also helps getting the local population down quick :)
One of his cities flipped to the Ottomans, with who he isnt at war... [satan]
(He has settled near or upon Ottoman cities to snatch the luxuries, risking flips!)

hm, seems you are having a bit of luck here ;)
any chance you cna ship a few Keshik over to south of the Ottos and annoy him a bit? if you cna raze a lux tonw or maybe better take it and gift it to the Ottos...... [evil]

I deserve a bit of luck every once in while! ;) But let me
get a leader first and then talk about luck! [satan]
No chance on sailing business, I might go for a war against Persia
if all continues like it is right now... [estwing]
Anyway, those flips where not planned Col told me...
Turn 149:
I signed peace with Arabia for my 2 missing techs, 2 workers and
some money. In 8 turns I captuerd two towns and razed the rest. My
razing Mongol [u]horde</u> netted me 44 salve workers and a GL who rushed
the FP. In the pic you see the Palace and FP as red dots, the green
dots are cities-to-be-built. I have 8 settlers underway racing to
the spots before the Greeks, French and Persians get there. I still
need to think out another settling location for settler #8...
The AI's hate me now but I dont care as I have 24 Keshiks waiting for
them. I am also able to keep up in tech. I am beelining for MT (of
course). My GA runs till turn 162. :D

He has some cities in the middle of Ottoman territory.Would be interesting if you could get Osman to mess him up a bit [evil]
Also - nice expansion you have going there [groucho]
Not possible!
We have a no MA (and no MPP) against the other human rule in this game...
I think I have never raided an AI faster than this. The AI was obviouly not prepared to fight
a horde of Keshiks!
Nice warmongering Erikk [hammer]

Yup, we are in turn 176 now and Col is expecting a raid (an invasion)
every turn... But I am teaching these Mongols to admire some culture
in this game! Meanwhile I have upgraded all units for later use but
am focusing to reach the IA asap. This also is netting nice amounts
of gold as the persians and french are paying good money for my
techs. I have plenty of workes for railroading. I am thinking about starting to build a fleet for a landing with cavs and rifles when
the time is right.
