***SPOILER*** - SABERS 002
 

Alright.....







First of all:



If your name is either Marsden, DenyD, or Cyc:





This is not meant for your eyes....





So get out of here.....







This is for other lurkers exclusively....

Nice To keep a spoiler Calis. Can you tell us something about the kind'a game you're playing? TIA. :)

So, now we can start...

Regarding the name: The players of this match are all in the SABER team of the C3C MTDG II over at CFC.

Here is the Roster in the playing order:

Cyc - Carthage
DenyD - Sumeria
Calis - Netherlands
Marsden -Byzantines

The map was created by Killercane, who actually asked for a spoiler thread and I want to fulfill this wish here...

A few turns have passed already and the year is 3450BC:

Here is a pic of the situation:

The starting units were 2 settlers, 2 workers and a scout.

I founded Amsterdam right on the spot. Now it's surrounded by forests and is a coastal city as it should be for a seafaring civ...

You already can see where Rotterdam lies. Also coast and also surrounded by forrest, jungle, water...

Amsterdam produced a curragh right away and I used a forest chop to speed it up as I wanted grassland anyway...the curragh is exploring the seas already, but didn't find anything, yet.

Three out of the four tribes are seafaring and start with Alphabet. Nonetheless I continued with writing and will try to do the slingshot towards Republic. While I am writing this I remember that in the pre-game discussion we (or I) proposed to make it an AW match, but I cannot remember whether we decided to do it or not. I asked in the turn tracker thread, as this of course may change the Republic thing

I am getting old I fear...

Ok that's it for the moment

Any comments and/or questions are welcome of course!!

My! You are a quick one Beam...

Thanks. ;)

Do you plan to build a settler factory in A'dam. And what lvl are you playing?

Yes, Amsterdam is definately going to be a settler factory. I'll be able to chop forests to speed up the granary.

The level is Regent, so the AI won't be much of a threat...

Wow, civ3... [worship]

Yeah, I still like it more than Civ4...

It is no always war game, so I'll try to get Republic via the slingshot...

Next turn two workers will complete. As there is so much forest directly next to my first towns, I regarded workers as high priority, although my military advisor already reports barbs near Rotterdam.

I didn't mention yet that we are playing on an archipelago map with 60% water...
