Thanks GA, for setting up our game :)

I'm Celts and Gogf is Sumerians.
My plan: REX, [charge] with Gallics and finally kill Gogf :D

Here's my start:

Hope the start works. ;)

What did you do to deserve THIS start? [mouth]
Did you send GA a case of Canada Dry?

First warrior built, headed North. Mongolian scout spotted after pressing enter.

The Clan: Size 2, growth in 1, settler soon...

Settler built. New city will be founded 3 NE. Pic coming tomorrow.

Granary and worker built next turn.

The Clan: Settler
Braveheart: Warrior

I have Iron. Mongols are in NE, not SE [eek]

Captured Karakorum. Founded The Clansman. Pic coming later.

Settler factory rolling and I can start building GSs too in 3 turns [happy]

Octavarium founded, London captured->England destroyed, 2 turns and I have 4 warriors around the last city of the Mongols

Ville, you should play a game vs Killer ;)

Mongols destroyed, writing researched, map making started, I want contacts!

I pwned them all! Now the continent is all mine! Bad side is that I had to trigger my GA but OTOH I can build about 10 settlers during it.

New Guess the Song round started, please join. No need to download anything if you have Quicktime and Firefox... Just click the link and listen

I researched The Republic and I'm now in Anarchy. I'm 1st in land area and points :D Screenshot after I'm out of Anarchy...

I'll post the screenshot tomorrow. Got to Gogf's continent with my suicide galley. I would have to spend 1 turn in ocean even with Great Lighthouse, so early attack is out of question... That would cost too much, I'll spend more in temples, libraries and marketplaces. :)

My small empire has improved a bit from last screenshot I see ;)

I had 2 Gallics in my Galley. When I saw Gogf's capitals area, I decided to have a try, it worked perfectly. [happy]

[lol]

I'm following Gogf's techpath as much as I can to get thopse dirt cheap techs and getting 100+gpt while doing 4 turn research. I'm 1 tech behind him.

Gogf sent Caravel and I'm sure it's not empty ;) I have 4 knights following it if it won't land units next turn.

I'll post a screenshot next turn.

I'm getting techs 1 turn before Gogf, so I basically already have ToE and Hoover Dam [happy]

Took Atomic Theory and Electronics, and I'm getting Hoover Dam in 9.

Industrialization researched, Hoover in 4. Replaceable Parts in 5.

Hoover Dam built and Replaceable Parts got, The Corporation in 3 (I'm getting +gpt with 4 turn research again [happy])

HEHEHE. So, what kind of world domination scheeme are you working on that involves total obliteration of Gogf?

I'm currently building factories and with Hoover Dam, my production is boosted pretty much. I will produce huge amounts of artillery and infantry, then bombers and tanks. Also nukes would be fun [mischief]

Nothing important to report, I've railroaded everything except some tundra forests in north. Also, I have 1 turn artillery factory in The Bloody Satanic City :D

Nice name. [groucho]

I have a plan that will be known as Operation Abbath and soon after that I will launch Operation Horgh [mischief]

Operation Abbath:
I will bring my navy to other side and transport full of marines will capture one city in the other side.

Operation Horgh:
I will also bring over 10 transports full of cavalry, infantry and artillery (and possibly tanks) . Unload them to the city and steamroll with help of Gogf's railroads [happy]

Operation Abbath and Operation Horgh succeeded, only 1 of Gogf's inner cities was saved! [happy]

No pics before I get PSP back...

Nice job! Wow, that was pretty final. Should have thought to defend my innter cities a bit :p.

Congrats!

Congrats dude

Maybe Gogf can post pictures if you can't ...

Yeah. Gogf, please do :)

IMO, things sounded rather even for a long time, so a little summary of what you did right/wrong would be alright too - so as to compare your strategy with Ville's

I didn't read that until now :p. I don't have any sceenshots on hand (considering that I'm on my Mac and I'd have to go digging through my PC to find the game).

However, I can say what strategies I think worked and what I did wrong.

- Conquer the continent too late. Of course, GA had said that the game was on Emperor, or possibly Monarch. It turned out to be Regent, which nobody noticed for a while.
- TOE prebuild. I forgot about palaces, so I assumed Ville had no prebuild.
- Defense. I assumed that by heavily guarding my coastal cities I could stave off any marine attack and force him to land. I could then bring in other unit by rail and pound him with arty. He brough a ton of marines though [and might have bombarded the city], and so he took a coastal city and then just ran amok along my rail network by attacking undefended cities with cavalry.
- Early defense. He did take my capital early on. That certainly wasn't helpful.
- No clear path to victory. My only strategy was to attack Ville military after building Hoover, or potentially go for space race. After I lost TOE/Hoover, the only chance I had was to out-tech him (which was unlikely because he got two free techs), or to try to go for a culture win.

I'd say that's about it.
