Unofficial April results and spoilers

[D.K]

well, what can i say, short and sweat

built two scouts then a warrior and quickly discovered the desperate situation i was in

i decided to try and attack the germans (as they were likely to attack me at some point anyway) i went in with 4 warriors and died to 2 spearmen - i think i got unlucky with the timing of his settler

anyway, i quit before the final blows hit home, but needless to say, england and babylon joined in against me and that was that


its a pity this game is such a tough start - im sure some good players will do well, my tactic may have worked if i had come across one spear in berlin


anyway, it maybe wise for someone to play the game in a little to check it offers a reasonable opportunity for novices to get started


just a thought, but thanks for the effort Bill

the zulu blow. I'll deal.

the start blows. I'll deal.

Some great land that takes 12 turns to get to, only to have babylon colonize it all... I'll try to deal.

Germany going from Polite to declaring war... Getting mad.

1 archer killing 2 impis, denying me a golden age... real mad.

same archer taking out another impi and Zimbabwe, bye bye game.

Well, as promised, I have lost already, with a score of about a hundred. This is due to a number of factors:
1. I usually play Regent, and Monarch tends to kick my ass
2. I was the Zulus, who I don't think anyone thinks is a good civ, based on the top civ choice threads. I think they're down there with the English
3. Bad start. As anyone reading this thread knows, the start isn't great. The capital is decently placed, but there isn't very many places to go. I usually play a bad start any way, but I'm just saying.
4. I started a war with the Babylonians based on the idea that I thought I would be able to take Babylon with just a few archers. I was wrong.
5. For some reason, shortly after making war with the Babs, everyone on the continent demanded huge sums and subsequently went to war with me upon refusal. Except for the Indians, who chickened out after their demand was turned down.

Here's a save of me about to lose:
