Succession Game - The Sticky Mouse Academy Strikes Back

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Right, right.

I'll get to it once the weekend comes along. (Damn workload-- History paper and Calculus test in the next two days, on top of the regular stuff...)

[La Fayette]

Vlad
If you wish me to play before you, just let me know.
(I have no strategic meeting on Friday, ...nevertheless a lot of 'vin nouveau' is now flooding to my place, which allows me to say 'cheers' to the honourable members of the gaming society in Liverpool)

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Meh, go ahead, I'll play after you.

/me begins shaving words off his 1050-word essay to get it under 1000 words

[La Fayette]

Meh, go, I play after



(La Fayette, shaving 2 words)

[La Fayette]

Meh

(La Fayette, bathing in Aftershave)

[La Fayette]

Vlad
More seriously: my proposal was a silly one because I can't play before the week end.
Let us stick to the listing: you play when you can and I play after you .

so, LaFayette, look at me, no word: a complete saving! (neither Meh!)

The Gits confuse me

thanks Stray - we just spent 1000g on one or two white goods...; Attempts at suicide by leaving our capital totally unprotected have been thwarted by alert Gits!

Meh? I left only two cities producing minor CIs, expensive Cathedrals were mostly all in place where needed. What did you spend 1k on? Converting the Harbor into a Musketeer in OneW (oops, didn't recall disbanding the Phalanx) shouldn't have costed much at all.

1660 = hut yields VotesForWomen!

Don't you mean NoVotes4Women??? What's anybody "voting" anyway??

1710 = No Lady founded;

I sure hope that was a freebee—you didn't drag a settler way over there, didja?

1720 = 9,000,000 population;Sans Eiffel founded

First I complain about a city way off the beaten path, now I complain about a city built too close… SG(2) must've been really blotto

1758 = Egyptians land elephant and kill two settlers - I have nver seen the AI choose to attack units rather than a city before

Sure, I've often used the defensive split to save a city, like in a previous succession game [see below where barbs were about to attack, so one Musketeer already in the field moved into EofM and another stepped out of Cremona into the forest to split the attack]. Put a strong defender on terrain near the vulnerable city and the AI loses one attacker and wastes a second attack killing off the distraction. Two remaining barbs attack the city but are unlikely to kill both Musketeers, and hopefully one defender has enough hp left to finish off the attacker next round.

[Scouse Gits]

Ah Stray - the thanks was for the 7000g treasury - this became many Banks, Harbours etc.

Yes VotesForWomen! was a hut (or IIRC a nomad) the ! was sarcasm ...

Only place to get the Whale and with two cities eventually churning out freights the ferry service will be more efficient

I guess my memory is defective - I was quite certain at the time that the Ellies would go for the city ...

SG[1]

[-Jrabbit]

VotesForWomen obviously a defective name. World opinion now doubts our civ's commitment to the One Wonder philosophy!

Vlad -- Please correct this, as our Palace Publicist is having a hard time doing spin control.

[Straybow]

Ahem...

Ah Stray - the thanks was for the 7000g treasury - this became many Banks, Harbours etc.

So confused. It seemed you were lumping it in with the undefended capital remark and I thought it another light-hearted jab...

Well, the treasury was about "only" 5700g when I finished since the repeat commodities had vanished and I had rushed many laundrettes. You had spent so much time staring at the 1530 save with 7600g, waiting on me, it must have become ingrained in your eyeballs.

Votes was a hut (I had moved a Dip that in direction with that hope). I guess I'm confused because it looks like both No Lady and Manhatten Fail are one removed from the hut pattern and there's no mention of nomads.

Another problem comes to mind: This is "Sticky Mouse Academy Strikes Back" and we still have no Sticky Mouse! This is a grievious oversight, and where are we supposed to be sent for reeducation for crimes in office?

The Academy must be founded forthwith! Please note lush, uninhabited continents with many suitable locations...

[Scouse Gits]

Fair enough...

The SGs just starting

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Got 8 turns done.

1762-- Corrected that name.

1764-- Celts, Germans sign alliance against us Explosives discovered Now working on Metallurgy. Munich bribed, joins our empire. Killed the Granary in Konigsberg.

1766-- Building some Engineers. (You know where they're headed.)

1768-- Celts declare War, land troops on Manhattan Fail.

1770-- Celtic Knight dies in suicide attack on Manhattan Fail (disbanded Crusader to build Musketeer there). Building another Musketeer to go after the settler they landed.

1772-- Celts build UN and Statue of Liberty. Idiots.

1774-- Bloody Celtic settler killed. Sticky Mouse founded east of our home island. 'nother group of settling units (two Engineers) en route to another nearby island. Delivered a couple of caravans to Cardiff. Blew up Temple in Cardiff.

1776-- Metallurgy found! Corporation started on. The Institute founded.

1778-- Not much this turn.

[Vlad Antlerkov]

For the heck of it, our score:

(On a side note, how the bloody hell did we get contact with the English? Is this some undocumented effect of the UN, that all civs get contact with everyone else?)
