PBEM: On the Waterfront

[Claus]

And now Canuck has it.
I've been playing a Civ match with a friend for 23 hours straight ... just finished. I've made this turn, now I go to bed.

[sabrewolf]

wow, respect

in civ4 i have never managed longer shifts than 8 hours...

[Canuck77]

Turn to Sabrewolf.

Claus - it's unbelievable.. in a single game, you have played Civ4 more than the sum total of all hours that I've played in all of my games.

Respect... and fear.

[sabrewolf]

canuck, in that case let me give you a hint in how to catch up in points: play more civ
if you don't have time: leave your wife or dump your girlfriend. quit your job and take a big loan to order all that order-in food. then, play play play

[sabrewolf]

another hint: don't follow my last hint...

[Canuck77]

Sabre:

Thanks for the.... *ahem*... advice...

Aren't you supposed to be playing the game turn or something?

[Claus]

Well, that was one hell of a game yesterday - today I feel like run over by a truck.

Once again I could witness how incredibly well-balanced Civ4 is. My friend and I played a complete campaign without space race, and ten years before the end, ie. in 2040, we were one single point (!) away from each other - even though he had led by more than 500 points by the year 1000, and though we had extremely different ways of playing.

In the end I lost, mainly because AI-controlled Hatshepsut did the Hooligan on me: Declared war out of nothing and had my cities crushed with stealth bombers. No sense for conquest, just pure joy of destruction.

Oh, and in the very last turn, year 2050, Montezuma declared war on me, although he was sitting on the opposite side of the map. Probably the silliest action of all time.

[sabrewolf]

i cannot play at work, but i can post

anyhow, now i'm home, so: 1500bc to vovan

[vovan]

And on to Corossol.

[Claus]

BC1450 sent to Canuck.

[Canuck77]

Sorry for the delay... BC1450 to Wolfie.

[sabrewolf]

1450bc to vovan

if you wonder what just happened with my score:
heavy tech and 3 cities just grew. next 2 turns it'll sink again after the poprushes...

damn you, claus, taking all the happiness oportunities :grmbl:

[Claus]

I wonder: how many cities have you got?

[sabrewolf]

building my 8th right now

no, actually much less than that... probably the same many as you, looking at the similar score...

[vovan]

Save should be on it's way to Corossol, I do believe.
