bump! Anyone wants to play? Anyone else wants to join the next SGOTM?

AFAICS we are three by now, BCLG, me and Tubby.

maybe Simon should front end load his turns next game so as not to crash his computer.

could we get another forum created?

Allright yo bitches, gonna play me some turns now!

I'd join team CDZ III, but I'm sure I can play only on weekends, and probably not all... But if I don't play the sgotm, I think I'm not playing civ at all, so it's more a must. I only have one demand (see? first stating that you can't play and having demands as well? jeez...): if I say I'd like to see some discussion, I would like to see a solid motivation by the next player. At least! A discussion would obviously be better... Sometimes we're just rushing on (everbody's busy of course), but that won't make me a better player.

Open save at 1825 a.d., move some units to unprotected cities to avoid unhappiness issues, crank up science to 100%.

1826 a.d. Tokyo builds coal plant > aquaduct. This hurts, but the city needs health. As it is currently mm'ed it's growing a little, but to make use of the mines it needs to grow, which is possible once we get biology (and then it needs health). A grocer'd be better, but that takes too many turns. Seville builds missionary > harbor (in 6). I think harbors make a lot of money.

Jewish missionary fails in Barca. Crap.

I don't get it: why is SS producing so much food, and why doesn't it have specialists? Now we can't whip, we need the specialists. Check out all cities to be sure.

One question: we have those two galleys sentried near chinese lands for ages. Why do we have those? It's costing us 2 gpt.

1827 a.d. Kagoshima missionary > tank. Etruscan destroyah > market. Santiago factory > cannon (following simon here). Interrupt building a factory in Salamanca for a work boat.

1828 a.d. Valencia forge>harbor.

1829 a.d. Enter.

IBT Hatty cancels spices for stone.

1830 a.d. Satsuma forge>infantry (hurray, 7 hammers per turn!). BCLGville bank>tank (because it rhymes).

1831 a.d. SS>uni. We get biology. Go for flight, artillery is the other option. I'm done for now, I'm sure I could manage some more turns. First we should figure out if we want flight or arty, at 100% (and -106 gpt, with 400 or so in the vault) we could get it in 11 and 7 respectively.

whoevers next in should switch to arty, thats going to be more usefull but i think we have lost all motivation as i cant see us finishing this game before the time limit is up.

Shabbaman · 18-11-2006, 17:09

I must admit that I never use artillery. But artillery is probably a lot more useful than fighters, and it'll save us about 6 turns. And we can't use the fighters without a mainland base anyway, so I guess you're right.

BCLG100 · 18-11-2006, 17:22

cats/cannons/arty are pretty much the best units in the game due to their cheapness(in comparison to other units) but also because of their abilities-collateral damage and being able to bombard.

Shabbaman · 18-11-2006, 18:22

That's what bombers do as well

BCLG100 · 18-11-2006, 18:40

yup but they have to have a base/ arnt very easily mobile/ and arnt actual units that can sorta attack an individual unit also iirc

Shabbaman · 18-11-2006, 18:45

No, you can attack a stack, like you attack with individual units. But you can't occupy or MP with them. And as long as we haven't got a beachhead, they're worthless. But the same could be said for artillery.
What we could do is to build some marines and more destroyers. That's a nice combination for razing coastal cities, hehehehehe.
