Apolyton Knitting Circle (part 2)

[Daddy-O]

I also only have 2.42. I vote that you replay it or pass on the original save. This game isn't going for any speed records, so I don't see a problem replaying.

Replay at your leisure DaveV - as Skrobism has said - we are not racing - to anything other than 'Apolyton Knitting Circle (Part III)' - would that be a record in this forum?

Mostly built, a few conquered.
Actually, I am not, by nature, an ICSer. I just figured we were so ICSed already that it was hopeless to turn the game into a moderate expansionist game.

DaveV, how many cities did you build? I wanna see if I outsleazed the master sleazer.

73 cities in 10 turns, actually . And I don't expect to come anywhere close to that in this game. On the first try, I captured 12 cities and built 3. I expect things to go differently this time around (no cheating, just a different strategy), but I don't plan on any city building binge (so relax, johnmcd!).

[johnmcd]

Its OK really, its interesting to see how the other half live. Normally if I capture an AI town with any overlap I'll sell the improvements and starve it to death.

[DaveV]

Progress report: I'm still at it, having played 6 of my allotted 10 turns. I hope to finish this weekend.

[johnmcd]

It becomes clear why no ICS is preferable to ICS pretty quicly doesn't it? OCC is a bit heavy on the micro magic.

[DaveV]

Game sent (finally!) to johnmcd. I only played 9 turns, but the time is now 1750 and everyone suddenly hates us, so it seemed like a good dividing line. We are a prosperous (if disreputable) fundamentalism. Highlights:

1660 Trade Railroad to Spanish for Leadership. Cardiff, Armagh captured.
1670 Mongols develop Polytheism, Babs acquire Polytheism from GL. Spanish undertake Darwin's, Americans undertake ET. We discover Industrialization. We build Darwin's (Tactics, Theology). Fundamentalism next. Mongols pay 800 for peace . Babs refuse tribute, Spanish share maps.
1680 Americans develop Magnetism, Babs acquire Magnetism from GL. Tintagel captured. Celts pay 150 for cease fire.
1690 Caerphilly subverted, Kells bribed. Spanish exchange maps. Mongols declare war.
1700 Rhymney captured, Caernarfon bribed. Spanish exchange maps. Mongols pay 350 for cease fire.
1710 Spanish exchange maps. Mongols declare war.
1720 We discover Fundamentalsm, revolt to Fundamentalism, complete Bach's Cathedral. Spanish exchange maps. We sneak attack Babs, capture Ellipi.
1730 Spanish develop Trade. Spanish exchange maps.
1740 Americans develop Medicine. Babylon captured, Babs destroyed. Spanish exchange maps. Coal Turin->Madrid, 122. Gems Issus->Madrid, 147. Americans exchange Medicine for Railroad, share maps.

This was the last thread on page two so a little *bump* is needed

So Johnmcd, have you received the save DaveV sent to you?

[johnmcd]

erm, I don't know. I didn't realise it was my turn and haven't checked that account lately. If its there when I get home I will play it tonight. Sorry, I didn't realise it was my shot.

[johnmcd]

OK, have played, it takes a while, eh?

Well, we lost Iona, you know, the little town, to Barbs, there was nothing to be done about it. I founded about three and started buying up Spain and shipping over lads to do what the diplos can't. We are now researching explosives...

Save sent to the Gits.

*bump* (I'll not gonna forsake you, AKC! )

If I read this correctly it is
