I would squeeze another city or two in as well, otherwise unit costs will hold you back.

Remember with your GA you can get WC's in 2 turns if your lands are well developed, so it's probably worth getting a few more workers out.

Personally, I wouldn't bother with Temples at all - that's 3 WC's each!

Just a short update.

Took your advice Anarres and built one more city, thought about a second but in the end decided to go with your other idea and build some more workers. Also stopped building the temples as well and went for barracks and then War Chariots. Anyway started to build up a bit of a force and contemplating fighting the Indians, thinking I better get in before it is too late, when I hear that they have completed the great wall, not good. I am thinking though that I will fight anyway, I have to, not in a good position at the moment. What I need to decide though is whether to fight the Indians and take a risk against their walls, or do I fight the Carthage or Greece, both with their unique units as defence. Not really sure which I would have a greater chance of beating. Any suggestions would be of great help. Either way I will be fighting someone.

TBH you are probably best going after the one with walls, otherwise you will be fighting a civ in a GA...

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm screwed.

Killer haas come with a stack of units to attack. That I could handle, however, due to his recently established position of power he has brought India, Carthage, and Greece with him, maybe someone else too, can't remember who though. Not good, this game will be over soon. The only positive thing, I should get my golden age.

GAME OVER

My country put up very little resistance, maybe killing 3 of Killers swordsman, whilst taking many losses myself.

Much congratulations to Killer on his win.

Learnt many lessons in this game about PBEMs and how the same things that work in SP don't necessarily work in PBEM. Hopefully next game I will be more competitive.

Strangely, I am learning that myself, in a game with Killer...
Talked to him yesterday iirc, when he told me about...hehe...your fate...destiny...or destruction rather.

Tunerica, thanx for the game!

You *should* have told me about your goto-error; we could have gone back t20 turns and corrected it!

I hope the next game will be a bit more competitive between us - this one was highstrung with tension for me due to the extreme proximity of Greece, but once I had managed to get iron and mass-upgrade 12 Warriors.......
