OCC Fortnight 3rd Edition - Results and Logs

[Graag]

I changed the name, hehe, none of your suspect humour for me... I am at 2100BC so far. I have had a quite lucky start, as you will see from my log (quite soon, I expect). But I like the setup. I shall be very interested to see the different uses of the trerieme.

Sten, maybe you should have started a different thread for announcement and logs, but for now the best solution would be for the first person to post his (or her?) log to have some empty lines at the start of the log so that we would not accidentally read the logs.

And Tom, the link to that table is in the second fortnight thread because it is a table for the second fortnight game. I will make a table for this game when some people (including myself) have finished it.

It would be easier for me if people would put a seperate list with the dates needed for the table before or after their log. Or perhaps make those dates bold in your log.

[Tom DeMille]

Paul, no no, I was refering to the table you made that matches up turns played with the corresponding year (at least I think it was your table). ie:

3950BC = turn 1
3900BC = turn 2
...
3000BC = turn 20
...
1800AD = turn 160 (or whatever) etc.

That table will allow us to figure out and add to our logs (to save you the work) which turn we make each of the 8 or 9 discoveries that go into your "other" table. Gee, now I'm confused.

Anyways, I suggest we quickly get the message count up to 49 before the first log is ready to post.

edit: OK, I dug through the previous set of logs and what I was refering to is called your turn table, http://home.planet.nl/~belt0018/turns.htm

I plan to submit an abbreviated log with all the appropriate dates (or turns, for science discoveries) grouped together. That will make your comparison table easier to build.

OK, here is my log. Don't peek if you haven't finished yet.

Well, first off, Sten, it was pretty sneeky to give us a completely open tech tree. I didn't really realize until I was researching refrigeration, and thought "gee, that was a pretty direct path I took". At first I thought it was something I was doing. I was allied with all 6 AIs, and had given them all my science. I figured that the computer was rewarding me by not removing tech choices.

It will be interesting to see how people cope with the rapid arrival of space flight. I was madly trying to mine some of those hills (while fighting pollution) that had been cluttering up my city site, and was beginning to despair when Space Flight came and I had a production of only 50 (and had just finished my 9 caravans). I delayed rush buying Appollo for 3 or 4 turns, but even so I had to rushbuy temples (160 gold) and switch to SS-Structural to crank them out 1 per turn for a little while. But things fell into place nicely in the end (except for running out of money while I stupidly researched fundamentalism - I'm used to having two caravans per module, so I miscalculated the amount of money I would need - I ended up selling off science improvements to get the last module out the door).

This was the first game where I got a NONE settler by tipping a hut. It probably only happens if you don't have a NONE settler already.

The AIs were very tame. No one declared war on me or sneek attacked until I had my spaceship almost done. The city location was quite issolated. Only the Vikings sent someone over to take a look.

The trireme was a great help in ferrying over caravans.

OK, lets get on with the log. First is the abbreviated log which will fit into Paul's comparison table. I've added a couple of fields at the bottom to do with gifts/trade

I'm lookin' forard to a bit of variety (I've been practising normal OCC ). Just got the file. Good luck, gentlemen, may the best man (don't say it) win.

I guess I should have set up a different thread for starting this! Someone is out there saying "14 replies already! I didn't even get the file... that Sten is an SOB, grumble, grumble"

Great game Tom Demille

I've been reading this forum for a month or so, but this is my first time posting. From what I've read, this fortnight OCC thing is open to anyone, but I'm really not sure about that. This map was my first attempt at OCC, as well as my first attempt at Diety (I just got the game this January). I kept a log, and if anyone's interested I can post it (it would be good to get input from people who really know how to play).
The basics of my game were this:
>Monarchy 3250BC
>Republic 1650BC
>Democracy 125BC
>Colossus 2150BC
>Shakespeare 925BC
>Copernicus 425BC
>Newton 160AD
>Darwin 600AD
>Apollo 1580AD
Size 12 (725BC), 21 (1300AD)

[Tom DeMille]

Hoss, welcome aboard. The competition is open to all comers. I think the main reason that such detailed logs are still kept is so that newcomers can learn the ins and outs. So post your full log for others to comment on.

[Hoss]

Thanks Tom. Just by reading your log I can see that one thing I have to work on especially is setting up better trade routes more quickly. My problem is that with all of the other things that need to be built I just never seem to have the time.

AACCCKKK!!!
Well, now I've gone and blown it! I'm still not used to the rigors of OCC and again I found myself having made a terrible error much too late to correct it.

As a result I managed to get Copernicus' at 220AD, at that rate making AC at all would shock the heck out of me. I will need to start again, I realize that takes me out of competition, but I'll post a log anyway when I finish.

Oh well, some of us just learn at a slower pace than others!

so this is the third one.... i missed the second one then...... well i shall unzip this puppy and see what happens .... not too good at OCC still

[Smash]

well I didn't finish Cope's until 160AD and, although late when compared so far,didn't have a real problem landing.

[SandMonkey]

I played this on King, so i didn't even bother keeping a log since i had never even won OCC on Prince level before... and boy was i in for a shock! I launched in 1858, and landed in 1873, and the Zulus began building there spaceship in 1872, so i was in the clear for a very long time. Early on i saw the significance of the two choke points, so i had them sealed off by the time with 5 units i had found in huts. I switched those over to phalanxes, and Leo's did the rest. I built Collossus, CO, Isaac Newton, Leo's Workshop, Darwin, and Apollo. The vikings were rather war like at certain times, but they just wasted units on my choke point. I really really liked this map, as i could send units out, but no one could get in. I guess i can move up to emporer now, where i just recently moved up to for my regular game.....
