AU 601 - Dominae v. Krill

[Dominae]

I might just have to get my hands dirty then...

[Krill]

This will probably be the last save from me today.


BTW, I will be away for 2 weeks from Friday, so I am sorry for the delays that will follow

[Dominae]

I will be absent around that time, too. This means we need to play a impressive number of turns before Friday!

[Krill]

Should not be too hard to get to 10AD...

[Dominae]

Here ya go:

[Krill]

hmm, is it acceptable to release the saves (all of them) in a zip file when this game is over? And if so, would you do the same?

[Dominae]

Yup, I've kept all the saves. I've even kept a log of all my moves, although it gets a lot less detailed at around turn 50 or so.

[Dominae]

Emailed.

[Krill]

posted.


I have a rther important question that I will need answered before the next turn:


Are we allowed to attack AI cities? If not, then I think that we may not have a problem finishing this game before the end of the month. If we are, then my GA powered archers can have some fun...

[Dominae]

Well, as I recall we agreed on the "no attacking AI cities" rule a couple of turns into the game. If the claims of your impending demise are true, changing the rule will only serve to prolong the game a little bit.

Or do you think attacking AI cities will allow you to turn the game around?

[Krill]

I am fine doing the rapid fire session now, and tomorrow will probably be ok as well.

I'll put this simply. I will not be able to attack you if I can't attack the AI cities. The will not be able to overrun me really soon, but when they get MI, that will change. If I can't attack them, then this will be interesting, but only for city placement and defensive strats against the AI, not sometyhing which this course was intended for.

[Dominae]

I should be over to help the AIs in a few.

You say that defending against the AIs is not the purpose of the course. Technically I agree, but realistically the scenario is all about manipulating the AIs. I imagine that almost no other pairs of players are fighting each other directly in their respective games.

[Krill]

Ok, then, care to bet on how long until this game ends?

If you were wondering about the worker, exploration is the only thing that he was/is any use for. Consider him a gift, and this one does not contain any warriors, so don't worry...

[Dominae]

What I'm saying is that I do not think we should change the rules simply because the AI is knocking on your door. Does that make sense?

I hope you enjoyed your GA!

[Krill]

The AI is not "Knocking" on my door;

they have already bulldozed through 20% of my cities and terrain improvements, and most of my counter attacking army, and knicked all but one of my resources...


You see the point? I am trying to get an empire that is not based solely on desert. I've been there, done that, go ask alexman about it. it is not fun without allies.
