Moonsinger vs Aggie **spoiler**

Moonsinger · 06-08-2003, 23:53

This is my world after about 57 turns. Since Aggie is out-scoring me real fast, I think he has found multiple food bonus or floodplain near by. As for me, there isn't much room left to expand...therefore, I'm planning to attack the Celts with swordmans around 800 BC (it's going to be tough against their special swordmans

). Anyway, I don't think I can beat Aggie in this game, but I won't give up without a fight.

You will have to forget your Milkers' instinct in PBEM

and realize score has nothing to do with how good you are doing in the game. Score really is a very bad reflection of one's performance, believe it or not !
Especially a 37 points difference in 1575bc ...that's like...nothing...

I wouldn't worry yet Moonsinger, score probably just means he found a lux...

Also, you can lose pop and cities early on and still come back and win.

Moonsinger, your tight build is to blame for the lower score at the beginning. Like the guys said, score has nothing to do with how good you’re doing.

Sorry Yndy but I don't find her lay-out a tight build, at least for a PBEM ..and for her style of normal play

Moonsinger · 08-08-2003, 17:02

And I didn't use RCP either.

Basically, I tried to play a normal game as much as possible.

My 40 turn research finally paid off in 1150BC. I discovered Polytheism and sold it to the AIs for Alphabet, Writing, Iron Working, Map Making, Code of Laws, and The Wheel.

However, since I was a little bit hurry to finish up this turn, I forgot to buy and sell the rest of the techs before I ended my turn.

Well, my little mistake from the last turn had cost me about 75 gold and 1 turn of research. I was able to recover a little bit by buying and selling Philosophy and the worldmap. Here is my current status as of 1125BC:

Now, I'm really upset!!! I just realized that I lost a settler and a worker to barb horseman a few turn ago.

Gutted. As the first player you don't get to see what happens during the AI's turn.
