Those *were* normal turns - you mean you want it on slow, which is fine.

I'm pretty tied up today, Saturday, but tomorrow morning EST I am free - 9am EST good for you?

9am EST is 16:00 in my local time... i can only play for a maximum of 90 minutes i guess that's not enough.

cya?

ok, i'm back and can play for about 2 hours. due to losing an hour because of daylight saving, i can't do more... got to work sunday morning

if we don't get this game to work, then i'd like to ask gramphos or nye to try and get a game running against F-P.
i'm not so keen on playing the finals (i'll survive if i'm not vice-champion ), so don't hesitate to take my place...

	finals - DAR Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

ok, after 1hr 56mins, we've paused the game.

F-P has a massive points lead, more cities, better land, etc.
it's not a question who wins, but when does he win?
1000 games of experience against my 3 is a slight difference

i've got statue of zeus and artemis' temple, he's got hanging gardens and another one...

ofcourse the RNG will be important again. my 5hp-AC against a 4hp spearman made me loose my unit and him getting promoted without a scratch ;(

in the chat i just heard he's detected my small SoD
but... have you seen my 40 knights coming from north?

cya later!

Highly unlikely that you have knights; cost of monotheism hasn't gone down.

Pyramids and Hanging Gardens, actually.

Will be most interested in finding out where the saltpeter can be found. I figure I'll find out first, because yer gonna be bankrupt pretty soon.

anyone around?

well, my schedule is getting more and more full. i've got several PBEMs running and my master thesis doesn't write get written by itself.

FP, you're just too far ahead in points. and as you stated correctly, the unit support costs are killing me. i may be able to capture a city or two (my military is considered "strong") and the AI civ is not a problem for me at all, but calculating from your points you must be ahead by several cities and have a good infrastructure and a healthy research pace.

so as a consequence, i'll officially resign from this game (not that i'd had a chance anyway ).

i'll load up the game in SP later (we played it in 1.15) and analyze, if i should have done it different... but even just for the sake of the honour of apolyton multiplaying forum, let's at least get the 4th tournament finished!

but i do want to see an official final round between FP and snotty, the winners of the 2 finished tournaments so far.

i'd recommend a best of 3 (2 wins needed) to have a more likely equal start or a third player setting up a fair map and resigning after the first turn...



anyway, congratulations fried!

Saber- the battle for my first city would be the interesting one, it's true. However, one thing that I imagine you might not realize that I've pulled as a "trump" on you - your military is "strong" to mine, but how much of it is at the scene of the battle? Minus 3 sentinels, every single unit I have is waiting in defend or counterstrike positions around that area. Everything else is empty! I'd guess we're closer to even on the front line, and you are correct that my infrastructure is very sound - I think technological differences would start to show up fairly quickly in the form of knights and such. Throw in the much quicker reinforcement times to my side of the front....

I'd love to play it out and find out who's right sometime though.

ok, i checked it out in SP now and i managed to get the first city with my swordsmen and ACs. you probably would have thrown in more units so it would have been a close fight. but otoh, it wouldn't even have been so bad if i had lost some units, as it would free my economy from the heavy weight of the unit support.

i also saw that you had approx. 12 cities and your research was at the time slightly ahead of mine (but mine was hardly moving).

sooner or later (as you said... knights were nigh) you would have got me, but either way, i'm happy i survived that long against you.
