Who Has Conquests

digger760 · 13-11-2003, 14:03

I had pre-ordered with Amazon but they are showing 1-2 weeks delivery. I rang the local game store (sometimes Iralnd can be 2-3 weeks behind) but they said they would have it tommorow. So the amazon order has just been cancelled.

An in an amazing co-incidence the wife is going out with her sisters tommorow night.

Sisters?

Sorry, couldn't resist. C3C might come in store here tomorrow, but the lazy ass workers at dynabyte probably won't have it on the shelves until saturday. Since I don't expect to have enough money by that time, I think I'll have a friend of mine, working at dynabyte and civ3 deity player, borrow ot for me. With some luck.

Get that friend of yours "Deity player" on this site ASAP so we can kick his ass in a PBEM dude !

I preordered with Amazon and got my copy last night! Of course I am in the US, so YMMV.

I keep saying that, but ever since Matrix gave him a moderator warning for the use of dutch in his first post he stays away from any forums... Besides, he's too lazy to commit to pbem I gues. He insists on playing with automated workers...

Deity and automated workers : hmm...

He wont be modded here

A dutch post might just be the long wanted excuse to use that great internet translation applet again

Yeah... I bet you guys desperately want someone who plays with automated workers... Anyway, to get this thread back on track:

Who got Conquests?

I have it!

Bought it yesterday and started a test game...
All that new stuff and changes made me feel inferior so I played regent...[

]
(don't wanna be disturbed by the ai anyways)
My fav civs would have been Mayas or Sumerians, I let a coin decide in the end.
Picked the Sumerians, which have a warrior like UU (enkid... erm something like that -warrior), stats: ADM=1.2.1, cost=10, cannot build spears, traits: agricultural and scientific.
I say agricultural ROCKS big time! (probably my attitude changes as soon as I pick another trait...

)
Well, 1 irrigated grassland with game plus river side city equals settler factory.
Can irrigate desert and get 2 food, and that's in despotism (ir. oasis gives 3)!
Forest chopping takes 4 turns, yay!
Marsh lands suck (cannot settle there before clearing it, IIRC), clearing takes 16 turns (desp).
Min research is 50 turns and I've got already 2 SGL (game is still in the bc years - just reached the next era).

Rushed that ToA thingie and built a bunch of other wonders, looks like I could rely on a 20k victory (if that still counts, that is).
As I hit the middle ages, I clicked on 'the big picture', marked feudalism on the tech tree - and got it as free tech; dunno if that was coincidence or not. From Civ3 (w/o PTW), I used to get the tech (monoteism in most cases) as soon as I finished the last ancient tech, so I was a bit confused here.

Will continue tonite. Juhu!

Free tech is random with 1.21 or 1.29 or so. In my current game I got feudalism as well. Your 20k might be spoiled by the ToA: it's made obsolete with edu (or something like that) and all your ToA temples will disappear.

Tried the conquests yet?
