The Dance of Civilizations [Diplo Game] [Organization Thread Pt1]

[Korea (DoC)]

obviously people are bored with it all.
Posting in story thread about stuff that actualy doesnt happen. MEdia nd persia fighting each other.

If we are going to fill the story thread with this sort of false stuff then get ready for a lot of crap to read through to get to the real DIPLO positngs.

I ask for a sub for new persia. I suggest Ozzy.

I'm available.

[Persia (DoC)]

Would I only have known that, then I would have certainly delayed the story writing so you would have had a chance That's certainly a bummer, my fault that I did not see this opportunity for you. I officially apologize, but done things can't be undone

[India (DoC)]

What? I was considering to join the fun..

[Persia (DoC)]

Never mind, the war is already over. No casualties! Turn timer can remain at 11 hour.

@Robert: Media has invaded New Persia, we are officially at war now. Please make a 24h timer again.

[Egypt (DoC)]

What is the error message? What does it say exactly, word for word?

[Orb (DoC)]

I have run into a problem I can't solve myself. I tried to load up civ but an error message kept showing up. I tried uninstalling it but it wouldn't let me. I tried to uninstall manually but I can't find the files I need to delete and this windows 7 is confusing to no end. Any one have an Idea on how to fix this?

You mean lost your both armies? Don't get me wrong not picking an OOC fight or anything, just an observants opinion.

(I don't want to "overexplain" why I did what I did.. maybe after we finished the game )

About the battle
At that time our power (Byz's and mine) were the same, my armies were far away and because it was their land they got the first strike with siege weapons. (They started the fight by dropping 8 siegeweapons on my 15 units.) Since Byzantium did everything right, I didn't had too much options. I've moved on the best defenedable tiles, upgraded my troops to have defense bonus on hills before they attacked me, but it didn't help too much . ( I could had unite the two armies to make them stronger, but I did not want)
So I expected that I cant get hold on their land, what was a bit surprising that they lost less units than I had expected.. I must discuss it with Sha'tur.. must had fallen asleep

Conclusion: yes, fighting war far away from your country even with big tech advantage is very hard. The best chance is always for surprise attacks, that hardly was one.

Logistically this isn't possible, we saw that they failed against Byzantium even with better units and two huge armies, i feel that India was too over confident in that case. Amazing job by Byzantium!!!. So yes they may overrun some mid civs, but definitely can't overrun the bigger ones due to distance and everyone has huge armies, plus all the hidden alliances

I have achieved exactly what I wanted

(Well, expected to kill a bit more Byzantine troops in the process, but I had no illusions )

[England (DoC)]

you play a game and you don't just overrun everybody with you strength
