Things are not looking good. I should have waited.....

EDIT: make a note: stop playing at 1 am when you're tired after a terrible working week.

Turn 106: I just manage to liberate one of the two cities that the Mongols took last turn.

What worries me more: I attacked while having a gpt-deal with them, to be expired in 3 turns

Hi Aggie

I'm following this game with great interest, any chance of some nice pics of your empire (demanding aren't I

)

btw - why couldn't you wait any longer to attack the mongols?

Aggie · 03-05-2003, 21:19

DrAlimentado, I will post tomorrow. Promise

Why didn't I wait? I'm an idiot

I think I was too sleepy and also to much confusing it with another PBEM I was playing.

DrAlimentado · 03-05-2003, 21:36

cheers Aggie

, I can just about wait till tomorrow

I also know the experience of booting up the turn the next day only to think "OMFG!! what the hell was I smoking last night!!!"

Turn 109:

Uruk was from the Mongols for two turns. One of the wines was part of a trade with China. You can imagine what happened with my reputation when I lost the city

39.75KB

This is my land. I may be able to capture Canton and Mandalgovi, but no-one will trust me anymore:

51.38KB

Losing your rep so early is really painful!

Aggie · 05-05-2003, 21:55

You can all make fun of me: I give up, I lost from the AI

And from myself. One fatal error was enough to blow my chances.

A real pity, losing your rep like that. You did manage to grow rather well. Perhaps I got lucky that in how it turned out, I knew I had to go build up for war almost right away when the Ottomans stole the wheats from under my nose.
Also with the Mongols fighting China, they focused on war sooner and thus had a bigger and more dangerous military than the Otto's turned out to have.

Losing your rep is not reason to give up aggie!

If there are other reasons so be it, but losing your rep or even a city or two is not the end!
