An interesting weekend game, a continuation from last weekend, but with many war declarations, frank on trev initially, pretty much a stalemate, with 1 city changing hands 5 times before peace was declared, then trev on toni, peace quickly declared after Mike gifted Toni with a substantial number of knights and probably longbowmen also, which made capturing Toni's cities impossible.
Late in the afternoon Frank declared war on Toni, and Mike responded with an immediate declaration on Frank. Several turns later to even the odds Trev declared war on Mike. These wars are continuing, no city losses yet to my knowledge, but frank has lost large numbers of units in particular, mike is losing units to the stronger cavalry, but as their number is not large yet, they are not yet a serious threat to him, war outcome there will depend a lot on how quickly mike can also learn Military Tradition and begin building the cavalry.

Well if trev thinks gifting 4 knights is subtantial i would hate to see a large gifting. No other units were ever gifted, i consider 4 units to be very reasonable.

Also i didnt DOW on frank, had yous paid more attention to diplomacy you will see that me and toni had a defenisve pact.

And cav, who needs them when ive got rifles. See you on the battlefield trev, lets see how you match up aginst mass rifles and cannons.

Interesting comments Mike, can't wait to see how the game goes. The war with frank is a huge burden on my small civ, i had to slave all my cities to get some cassaks up and running. However it was pretty sweet to see how frank lost all of his invading army. And i agree with you Mike about the knights, its not like you gifted me 10 or more. Very exited to see how your war goes with Trev. And something else, hmmm allowing a person to use your land to try and sneak attack someone else where he doesn't expects its a bigger problem if you ask me then having some borrow 4 knights.

I will be here as usual both Sat and Sun. We just need for trev to confirm arounf what time he will be on Sat.

^_^ Having 3+ russias in every game is going to be the problem from now on :P

You also need to post contacts, ie MSN Messenger name, ICQ, etc so we can contact you.

If you have Riflemen Mike I will be in trouble, considering you have only shown me musketman, macemen and knights, not even granadiers, it would surprise me if you have those already. But even so, my civ was in bigh trouble from being squeezed in by 4 other civs with lowest pop, lowest GDP, 2nd Lowest production, so a lost war will not change end result of the game. I will never play a game as India again, a great start is wasted with them.

[Master-Mike]

Yes i will have rifles in just a few turns trev, and all my muskets and new units will be rifles, which will dispatch those cav for ya.

Trev you were probably best left staying out of the war, i was only sending toni a small force to help out. He dosnt need much help as i knew he had cossacks. So i was just there to be a small help. I did expect you to either try and stab me or toni in the back hence why had large forces in the area.

Still most of our scores are not far apart, its still even, and while we war that bi%^h deity is moving ahead.

Will be interesting, your war against me trev will be poinltess you will gain nothing from it.

[deity]

LOL

I never built so many wonders

[trev]

I will gain nothing from peace either, seeing i got crowded in, and the floodplains in particular were all stolen by you and deity, so it just proves there is no way i can win or be competitive even as the game progresses. I am not working tomorrow, so I am free to play and lose.

[Toni]

Ok see u all at 1pm

[Master-Mike]

Well there can only be one winner, and that isn ot decided until the very end. No pre set wins in this game, we play till some one does win.

You can only do the best you can with what you got. Why you wanted to DOW on me and toni i do not know. You could have DOW on frank and grabbed a few of his cities he has plenty, probably the most land of all of us.

Anyway its the journey not the end result.

Cya at 1pm.

[trev]

I went for you because if I went for someone else and started winning, your the most likely person to decide I needed a stab in the back, and also would be the one powerful enough to do it, Toni I knew had Military Tradition, whereas you had not, so there was a window of opportunity there, also my decision was made independently of frank, however I went about 5 turns earlier when I did not have enough cavalry ready because Frank lost virtually his whole army against Toni and was very vulnerable to losing everything to you and Toni. But my intention before Frank invaded Toni was to launch my own anyway.

[Toni]

good new game guys, cee u at 1pm

[vilemerchant]

You also need to post contacts, ie MSN Messenger name, ICQ, etc so we can contact you.

Hey guys,

I should be alive tomorrow afternoon if there's any new games starting, tho if you guys are just continuing your current epic that's fine too

[vilemerchant]

Guys, serious apologies for my connection dropping out when it did yesterday, but it was beyond my control. iiNet had some huge outage and I wasn't able to get on again until around 10pm. Thanks for letting me play anyway! Toni tells me the game was saved so i'll be back next Sunday to continue

[trev]

I am generally free on Tuesday evenings from about 7pm to about 9.30pm Aust CST time, I know not all can play at that time but if some can we can play a smaller game at that time.
