PBEM #5 - MTDG Cage Match vs. Ginger_Ale *SPOILER*

RegentMan · 16-10-2006, 23:23

This game began on October 15, 2006.

Finally, the duel you all have been waiting for. It is the battle between RegentMan and Ginger_Ale, two of the most feared Civ IV players.

I brought the idea up about a cage match between each other as MTDG admins, but Ginger wasn't able to operate Civ IV then. Now he is, and we've begun!

Small map, normal everything, three random AIs. Ginger is Isabella, I'm Saladin.

Turn 2

I'm heading for Buddhism. Hopefully, Ginger is too, and I finish one turn before him.

Turn 4 - Borders!

I'm betting Peter. Any takers?

RegentMan · 17-10-2006, 19:35

Turn 5 - Popped the hut and got a scout, leading me to...

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good (TM).

shame that the borders will pop in the inbetweeny forcing your scout off that hill

Good Luck RM!

I completely forgot about border expansions. Sure enough, when I opened the next turn, my scout was de-hilled.

Thank you Whomp!

I might need it when my own border expansion revealed...

Caesar!

RegentMan · 19-10-2006, 20:17

Turn 9 - First religion is founded!

But I have also met the last AI civ (well, he met me):

Tokugawa! I think this game has it out for me. I guarantee I'll meet Ginger_Ale to the east in a few turns. He probably hasn't met anyone yet...

How can you tell that you have met Caesar from that?

BCLG100 · 21-10-2006, 21:20

purple borders=caesar

RegentMan · 21-10-2006, 22:04

Yep, purple borders equals Rome, which equals Caesar 100% in vanilla.

Sure enough, come Turn 12, look who I stumble upon:

Unfortunately, he'll meet Peter within a turn or two, as Peter's scout has been stalking mine (even stealing a goody hut from me!

).
