The Orca Vs the Cat **** SPOILER ****

Rik Meleet · 09-01-2005, 21:49

We got a game on Emp level. Cat is Arabia, I am Celts.

In turn 9 I met Greece. Sold pottery for Bronze + 1 gold. I couldn't afford Alphabet. So I am researching Alphabet myself; for a Philo gamble.

Turn 43 update - Is this the end ???

I'm developing quiet nicely; Meleetopolis is by far the biggest city in the world (all other Capitals are size 2). I got it up to 10 spt and 5 food per turn and a spear + settler factory in 5 turns; with extra food (shared with other cities).

I've met the Greek, Iro's and Russians. I like having scentific civs around me, quick research. All civs are about 5 techs up on me; but noone has writing yet. If I can get it first I'll be ok for now.

Apparently the Iroquois got in a very very early war; as they were below me from the start.

I fear I'm going to be a victim of a Russian sneak attack. A spear + warrior are close to Paradise city. A spear is going there but I fear he'll be too late. If I loose Paradise city it could well be game over for me.

I hope they are just Barb-hunting (Raging barbs)...

My strategy for now is to have Meleetopolis on spear-settler duty; Paradise city on workers; Phonebooth in Vegas on workers or settlers as well and the new city (on the hill NW of the spear-settler pair) on rax and units.

Ok, it wasn't the Russians who were on the warpath; it was the Iro's. They demand my entire treasury ...

In turn 49 I researched Writing first on my continent. All 3 opponents had at least 5 techs up on me, but none had writing. Russia gave only shit for it; so they were left out. I did this trade:

26.33*KB

And immediately after that; in turn 50; Greece demanded 20 gold.

I gave it.

And turn 51; my lands look like this:

140.02*KB

As you can see, I renamed all cities except for my capital, as parts of songs I like. For the lurkers this is a quiz; what song + artist/band has my city names in one of their songs ??

A little extra contest. PM me the band/artist + song-title for an honorary title in my forum !!!

Edit: the most western city is called (easily) "Paradise city"

G'n'R, know the others but can't remember singer/band/song titles worth shit!

Pastorius · 30-01-2005, 23:24

Meleetopolis is a Meleetification of the Seigmen song Metropolis? Or the Dream Theater "Metropolis"?

or nothing of the sort at all...

I am glad Killer cant recall the shitty stuff - that would be worth crap to remember

Anyway, cant say I know these song titles either, except for the Appetite for Destruction song

When I see Paradise city the only thing that comes to mind is Guns N'Roses.

Rik Meleet · 31-01-2005, 21:43

Turn 59 update

Most importantly:

45.63*KB

And a consequence of that:

19.09*KB

Now I am going full steam to Republic. My gold reserve allows me to go deep into negative gpt. I may not revolt immediately, it depends.

--------------

In-game lurker's game:

Paradise city is indeed a part of the lyrics of the Guns 'n Roses song "Paradise City". And now the other ones !!

Here is my citylist:

10.62*KB
