It's me, back from the dead
Would you guys be interested in starting a C3C game with just the four of us? We're all fast players and good sports so I think it'll be another good game. I'm open to suggestions for the format. Everything random?

I would like to try a full C3C PBEM game so, yes, I'm interested.

Just one thing though - I suggest a pangaea map this time.

[marcuspeddle]

I was hoping for isolated islands surrounded by easily defendable mountains.
Actually, we should decide the land mass size and ratio before we start so we can choose appropriate civilisations. I'd hate to choose an expansionist civ and wind up on that isolated island..

[alva]

Yep, count me in.
Perhaps starting soon after new-year?

Turn to Cerb.

[marcuspeddle]

I'll be away until January 5th so we can start then if Ghengis is up for playing.
Any preference on land mass, Alva? I'm thinking pangaea will be fun, as Cerberus suggested. Might be messy, though.

Alva - I don't know about the RNG favouring attackers, it certainly favours Persians!

I also really, really wish I had built a fortress on that iron mountain a long time ago.



I suggested a pangaea map as it means no-one is likely to get too far ahead without the others being able to do something about it. It also means that luxuries, including ivory, are likely to be scattered widely.

I'm in for a Conquests version. Anychance of talking you guys into included Treasure and Mines like in AoD?

Sent to Alva. Banzai!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[alva]

I havn't really played C3C so far, so I'm not sure what you mean GF.
-

Banzai???

[alva]

Turn to Cerb...Bonzai!!!!!!!!!!

And quite an eventful one it was too.
Why didn't you put the catapults on the iron mountain?
-
You came close GF, very close. If you would have waited another turn, it might have worked.
BTW; did you do a suicide run to avoid getting spotted??
Btw2 ; anything you can do....

Really? I took what I could get over there over there, that's all I could haul (I don't have many boats ). I figured the games pretty much over and every turn I wait is another round of Calvary you can crank out to stockpile your continent.

You still have 3 galley's on the other side.

The trouble with them riders is their range, so I needed to take them out in one go. I had about 6 units that were withing reach but lost my first 2 battles (one cav and one immortal). There is still one left though.

Really? Then maybe the two Invasion Fleets can follow up on the work of the scout force you just killed.

I have a grand total of 2 catapults. They are in Edrine (there's a clue for you ) and I was worried that if I moved them onto the mountain you would attack the city.

I have the turn but am too drunk to play right now.
