Crusader Scenario Succession Game?

[Julius Brenzaida]

Rasputin, it is hard to say. Obviously, we would never get money enough to buy many rich cities, so after the gold merchants, the swords had to speak. What is it the right time or too early to start open war is the question.
Only time will tell and remember that history is always written by the winners (the ones who take it all according to ABBA).

yeah but they also said that I was Finally facing my Waterloo!!!! But do i think you guys can fix my problems I do, I do , I do....

OK - I have started - first thing was to change the empire from Tournament Games to Prisons and then onto Inquisitors - 30 currently under construction - the Northern Capital (Marienbad?) will fall and then the whole of the Northern HRE.

Raz, why were you exploring with Merchants???

Will post a log asap...

the very name of Waterloo is painful to my French ears...
but I can have a try at helping you with supposedly sound advice:
1) NEVER stop trading! (if your merchants got killed, it is probably that you sent them walking through enemy territory; that should be avoided, since you can usually quite safely: trade with friendly cities, or trade by sea with enemy coastal cities, or trade with enemy border cities).
2) Don't explore with merchants (they are costly and not clever at all at that kind of sport, compared with the mighty inquisitors, for example).
3) Don't send numerous strong units sailing onboard fragile boats if you don't rule the seas.

Merchants?? are they the freight equivalent?? I didnt think I was exploring with them, i was trying to get them to trade destinations as far as i remember...


The big problem with doing a Scenario such as tihs is not knowing what is what , I didnt know what to build in citys so chose TGs as all my citys were sad. What benifit is Prisons?? And how you going to keep people happy without TGs I had real trouble with that unhappy stuff...

as i said to Gits , i wasnt exploring with Merchants simply moving them to the Towns listed as wanting trade... I gave up moving my merchants by sea after i was attacked by enemy navy, and so had no choice but to go by land.

as for the units on board navy, as they were built in UK I had to transport them via sea to get to any where, they were sunk when passing spain on way to mediteranean....

Damn I have lot to learn !!!!

[Rasputin]

gee i thought i was bad at posting my games !!! come on SG let the games continuie !!!!

[Julius Brenzaida]

Yes, the road to Damascus is a long one indeed !

[Scouse Gits]

sorry guys - RL has been seriously interfering with the important things in life ...

Magdeburg was Inquisitor visited and having been reduced to a 1 city by judicious Heretic Burning and having it's City Walls ripped down in just punishment for its heretical ways a lowly Fanatic (just purchased for a small fortune (it was adjacent to the city - the AI tried to forestall the Dip-rape by surrounding the city with units!!) destroyed the city - Kiev immediately raised the British flag (after its prison mysteriously fell down) - all in all I think its about time to roll the HRE up like a carpet - look out Rome (and those juicy happy Wonders!)

I think it's SG2 next???

Have you received my PM Julius?
SG(2) is very busy (at work ... not with civ3 ). He asked me to play his turn. Since your turn is just after his, and mine just after yours, I asked you to play first (but I am ready to play before you if you prefer; let me know).

(La Fayette, so polite that the game is at a standstill)

[Scouse Gits]

Thanks La Fayette - I should be able to play next time around. Yes, I have Civ 3 - but have hardly looked at it! The AI is much better and I feel lost not being able to build caravans.
