Kemal vs Skyfish THE REVENGE *****SPOILER**** - Page 2

A spy from the enemy camp !

Like hell am telling you dude !

Come on, have a little faith, Sky, or are you still not convinced that Kemal and I are not the same person?

Maybe i should post a picture.

But i would guess you popped a settler or advanced tribe, since Edrine is obviously brand new and Istanbul has not built a settler recently.

Skyfish · 18-11-2003, 11:56

If you post a picture then yes, I will believe you 100%

ERIKK · 18-11-2003, 12:00

Yeah post a pic of both of you, as brothers, so we can see if you look alike...

OK the first turn of the game was reached and with great success !
On turn 40 my min science run on Iron Working completed and I got monopoly : I had just met the other 2 civs as well so it completed perfectly (remember I am close to the Americans).
I forgot to keep track of the exact deal sequence but I got all first level techs PLUS Writing and Mysticism...and still have 200g in the chest, so it was a nice result.
I first bought Alphabet, than saw that Babylon had Writing (I had hoped one or more civ with writing !) *and* they had no contact with America

So with Iron Working+contact with America+385g that I got from selling IW to Korea I bought Writing and sold it for all other techs and did a 2fer with Mysticism that Korea had.
Big round of trade it was.

During the min sci run, I bought 2 workers from America ! Gotta love a gamble !
(By the way I had extensively tested that one...)

Knowing Kemal's tech pace I need a really quick pace on my continent so I am playing differently than normal, I want the AIs to contribute as much as possible, only America will be weakened as they are so close.
Thus my next choice of going to max science on Mathematics : I want to trade Math for the post writing techs (Philo, CoL, MapMaking and Lit).
Will see how it goes...

Here is the empire : a definite farmer's gambit

The advantage of Large continent max land

The settler is going for the Incense, I am desperate for luxes. Two more cities will be built in the forests on the first ring.

wow, did you edit the 200 AI troops out or did they really not come to attack you? If I leave any town bigger than size 3 empty I KNOW they will attack within 5 turns......

Skyfish · 30-11-2003, 18:04

Thats only because they hate *you* personally Killer

Seriously I am very open to attacks here but I can quickly switch all those build orders and whip like mad if needs to be...
From now on only my 2 granny cities will produce worker/settler and the rest will go on military duty.

Pastorius · 30-11-2003, 21:07

erm...they seem to hate me as well

Plux · 30-11-2003, 21:32

Great lands, Sky! Kemal shouldn't stand a chance against these Ottoman farmers

Skyfish · 30-11-2003, 21:47

Gulp!

Indeed they are great lands but am sure Kemal's got the same so please dont expect anything
