a general question: how far does a war chariot bounce off a hoplite?

Gentlemen - the fates have not been kind to the Babylonians. A combination of early wandering, and one shield per turn production has cost us dearly.

I bid thee farewell - and wish you well with the rest of the game.



Save to Sir Ralph of Carthage.

[Harovan]

Carthage salutes the valiant and fair Babylonians, who were, however, a threat to us by their sheer existence. Farewell Beta. You may be sure, that your people will get a burial worthy for heroes.

I trust jshelr has my email? If not, it's sirralph at gmx dot com.

[McMeadows]

Rome honours the well respected Babylonians. Their fate brings back memories of whispered stories. Farewell..

persia salutes their neighbours and wonders why babylon seized to exist after only 500 years! (SR-warrior rush?)

[Harovan]

If you call a single exploring warrior entering an undefended city a "warrior rush", then yes. Beta was screwed on the shields front and couldn't get a warrior ready in time without hampering growth. I would have played in the same way on his place. I deeply regret to eliminate a civ that early and understand, that this takes options and thus, fun out of the game, but if you see our strategical location later on I'm sure you will understand my decision.

i was just wondering...

but yes, it is a warrior rush. just seems strange that you guys started so near to each other on a small map.

in my c3c-pbem-tournament game i had wonderful growth (floodplains, 2 wheat, lots of rivers), but virtually no production. the hills only got useful after mining and roading them (18 turns) and from the floodplains i lost a total of 3 citizens to disease. i presume something similar was around beta's starting location

[McMeadows]

There's been a discussion in another game (Europe in flames), where Chrisius Maximus was taken out by Arnelos (editted, mistook Alexman for this just action) in the same way (undefended city). In my opinion it's anyone's obligation to take out anyone who is undefended. It's the risk one takes. The game should be played to win.

Beta announced there was a game were he had suffered the same fate. Obviously that has been this game.

[Beta]

I had one last card up my sleeve to play. Unfortunately it was only the four of spades - a poor card at best - and Sir Ralph did not fall for it.

(I think my flair for misinformation may precede me. )

Agreed 100%.
