Strat Forum PBEM: Game 1

[jshelr]

thanks for pushing it when you don't fell well, sir. we are junkies and we need at least a little of our fix.

[Harovan]

Turn sent.

Yea I feel awful, but I must work tomorrow.

[jshelr]

i really regret to inform you all that we are screwed

about half my units would not move and the game bombed again on the save command

let's sleep on it, but, while the players performed admirably, IMO, the software did not

my gut hunch is that this is a startover. Alexman will have to start with one less city than the rest of us to be "fair"

[Dominae]

Darn. This is a pretty crazy bug, if you ask me (especially considering that everything is ok for jshelr in game 3).

I have no problems with starting over, considering our pace. Plus, my little secret is actually pretty boring.

Screw it.

4 more turns and my army of 20 swordsmen would have razed Aesonborg

We should report this to Firaxis, perhaps they can hunt the bug down.

[alexman]

Restart! Restart!


Seriously, the game was kind of spoiled even before the bug, if you ask me. Should be have someone look at the new map (like game 3) before we start another? I think so.

[Dominae]

Woo-hoo, so we get to post AARs with screenshots early! BOY was my game fun! I'll have the play-by-play available in about an hour (never mind that all of the playing was with myself...).

Since we're going to restart anyway, I have to report, that I was doomed anyway. Although I have Iron Working, some warriors to upgrade and a barracks in every city, I have no iron , while alexman has plenty of it. The little bit my explorer has discovered, revealed already 2 iron deposits NW of Aesonborg, while I have nada.

[jshelr]

I believe we have a case of great minds thinking alike. We can probably benefit from someone looking at the map, and it would certainly be a good idea to get the rest of our canadian contingent onto the same land mass to help me deal with you two next go around.

[jshelr]

ralph, you were never doomed. I like you. I was getting ready to attack alex

[Harovan]

Alex, are this the allies you were bragging with?

[alexman]

Not to worry, remember those two ICBMs I pop-rushed in the beginning?


(jshelr, you have game 3)

"to build improvement-wise along that vector!"

see my "a republic without pottery" from the au game where we started on the island

where can grampa learn how to do these pics

[alexman]

Dominae, before you continue, why don't you make a new thread for the AAR of this game in the strat forum? It will certainly be more visible there.

From a first glance, I would go for a granary.

PS. you have game 3.
