Scorched Earth Succession Game

I'm proud of you

All we need to do is raze a few Greek cities and this will have become a truly Rodentian game

I recommend grabbing the good wonders as the AI builds them. Especially if the silly Greeks build them in size 3 cities close to our border.

Old n Slow is next.

Mmmm yes, I noticed that the city formerly known as Sparta did seem to be a tasty item -- and would have moved on down meself, but oh well. Good call STYOM.

Have the save & will scorch right after silly.

[Old n Slow]

Save tonight, log tomorrow -- I think I should have timed this just a bit better...

[Scouse Gits]

... interesting ...

First glance makes this an impressive turnset, home cities well grown, well defended, infrastructure coming along well. See what you mean about timing, forces massed to decimate the defenders of Al-whatever and add a new jewel to our, but not your, crown.

However, ...

* Hear now the words of the Prophet of Doom *

We have an implaccable enemy at our gates that has not been crushed! We have cities with roads and rivers running into hostile territory and we have no defence in depth!

Anyone taking bets on the likelihood of either or both of Six's Torch and Lagomorphia being bribed within the next turn or three?

Heed the words of the Prophet, young Raptor!

Heed the words of the Prophet, young Raptor!

I assume that means Sparrowhawk is next...

Looking forward to seeing the log, OnS.

Scorch
1180 (0) -- talk to Egypt & trade away poly & Mono for Bank & Nav. RB a couple of Crux.

1200 (1) (Memphis completes Shake’s; Chin, Fr, Bab all abandon) Happiest -- we’re #5! We love in Pax STYOM. Throughout the next few turns, units see action in Six’s torch & Lago -- usually with a kill or two per turn each.

1220 (2) (Chin starts Magellan; Fr start Leo’s)

1280 (5) (Egypt starts Leo’s) Discover Gun, opt for Feud

1300 (6) 4 new muskets appear (and a few more afterwards next turn) SKJ Coal (n) to Pi R = 74; Gits Hides (n) to Pi R = 114

1340 (8) Spare Oval Hides (n) to Memphis = 74

1360 (9) Lago completes barracks -- Six’s torch might need one as well, but we seem to be holding quiet there for the last two turns, so we’ll wait. Lago gems (d) to Helio = 216. Hmmm with a little push, Egypt declares war. Barbs land north of Pi-r (now size ten & looking very juicy.)

1380 (10) discover Feud, opt for Demo. Land two Crux & two muskets onto Egyptian shore.

OK, OK, I had ten turns & still was too slow to take my city -- Egypt has a couple of yummy ones -- Pi-R looks larger than anything else around (and is on a river) and Memphis has two wonders -- tempting, tempting.

I have PMed SparrowHawk a gentle reminder...

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

Thanks, Stu. I had forgotten about this one, with all the panic revolving around Sailing(2) (the unloadable savegame, the quest for SoL).

Jrabbit, stand by on this one if we don't hear from Sparrowhawk in the next 48 hrs....

[Sparrowhawk]

I apologize for the delay, I downloaded this last weekend intending to play, but didn't get a chance (Heritage Classic Hockey Game and all ) but I hope to play it by this weekend. If I haven't played by then, feel free to skip me.

Fair enough, if we haven't heard from you by Sunday, Jrabbit is next.

[Sparrowhawk]

Sorry!!

I am hoping for one more day, I didn't get a chance to play again this weekend, but i already expect to have a couple hours free tomorrow night (Monday). I promise to play and post then, and if for some reason I don't not only do I suggest Jrabbit go ahead, I should probably be dropped from the playlist for holding the game up this long without playing.

No problem. So long as we know you're making an attempt to play it... long unexplained absences (hello, Ben Kenobi??) are what gets people skipped.

[-Jrabbit]

Go for it, Sparrowhawk. I patiently await your turnlog...

[Sparrowhawk]

Turnlog is done, and not sure how much criticism is in store for me.

I accomplished one of my goals, partially on my way to another, but I lost a city (as predicted by Scouse Gits) .

If there is room in the Institute, I will travel there soon. I will post the game log, just not sure it will arrive tonight.......here is the save.......The Save 1540 AD

"The Save 1540 AD" is gibberish.

You have to use the "Attach File" function.
