Iron Civer _Coliseum B_ Thread II

[bongo]

I'm holding the save until an issue about the interpretation of certain rules has been solved

[jshelr]

What's the issue Bongo? We don't want to lag too far behind the other games unless it is very important, IMHO.

[bongo]

I asked McMeadows for a combat report for 825bc but he denies combat even took place. He blames Flandrien for the attack even though it should be obvious McMeadows is the only one who could have done it.



The pic shows the situation outside copenhagen at the end of my turn 850bc. At the beginning of next turn, one vet spearman had suddenly lost 2hps and got a promotion. Like a 4/4hp spearman will go to 3/5hp without anyone attacking it



The interpretiation of rules question is this: Does level 1 combat recording imply that *I* am the only one who are supposed to make reports?

[jshelr]

Well, whoever attacked the spearman is dead now.

[bongo]

*A* unit is dead, I don't know which and I don't know if there were more than one.

I've sent three request for a combat report to McMeadows now, he blamed Flandrien in the first two and haven't answered the last one so far.

I'm holding the game until he gives me the report, or proves to me it is possible that Flandrien could have done the attack.

[Rommel2D]

It looks like the only way Carthage could attck the Mongol spearmen would be if Flandrien had an army of horsemen in his stack...

[bongo]

He didn't, and even that would not have been enough. You need a 4-move unit to attack across an unroaded jungle-tile.(a conquistador will also work btw)

[Rommel2D]

err, cavalry-type-horsemen, that's what I meant...

[jshelr]

Sometimes the game flips the unit on top of a stack. Is it possible that Bongo had the elite spear in the turn earlier...just asking. My real problem is that I have not got a turn to play while I'm eating my cereal

[Flandrien]

Actually I attacked with modern armor, but i liked to keep that secret.

[bongo]

Well, you ARE more advanced than me. Never thought is was that bad

[bongo]

Combat report recieved. 775bc sent to McMeadows.


EDIT: Well, it was 750bc actually

[bongo]

Uppsala has fallen to the Mongolian Horde


Turn 730bc sent to McMeadows.


I find combat reports level 1 to be both cumbersome and useless. Does anyone have objections to moving to level 2?

[Aqualung71]

Any chance of posting some maps screenies, or at least minimaps, so the rest of us know how the game is progressing?

[Rommel2D]

Oops, not getting very frequent turn posts here...

750BC has been the traditional turn to list a score update, along with F8 screenshots if anyone feels up to it...
