The gits have their own smiley -- I’m impressed (thinks for a second -- I’ll have to see about earning an old and slow one some day).

Notice that some of the succession games are getting to the late stages. -- I’m thinking that we’ll need to start a new one soon. With summer arriving soon -- do we want a lazy days of summer theme or the heat of the battle? (Or both?) Looking to start something either June 1st or the equinox.

I was just thinking that the succession games are going very slowly now, so a new game should be simple, but challenging. A no settlers/engineers challenge might be good (start with 2, as usual, but none can be built - bribes/nomads allowed, of course.). Put us on a big map and it could be a struggle to keep up with the AI...

The Log

1822 = Much creation of celebration; Several armour changed to freight; lots of confusion over what we think we are doing; slider stays at 6.3.1 for the moment

1824 = Radio -> Machine Tools; Sewer System in Matterhorn; Bank in Steamboat Willy; 15M pop;

1826 = 17M pop; Did a lot of not much... well - I guess we planned the invasion of Greece, but that's small beer...

1828 = The Shield Siege of Teotihuacan continues ... (this has involved the building of three new cities in embarrassing positions...);

Edit At some stage we discovered Machine Tools I think in 1828
------------------------------------

The following played by SG(2) ...
1828 Gems to Magic Kingdom 69 (unblocking);

1830 Gems to Thunder Mountain 228; Oil to Magic Kingdom 128; Coal to Donald Duck 120

1832 Miniaturisation; Teotihuacan falls 44 captured along with Pyramids + Guerilla Warfare;

1834 Population 19m; Gems to Chunder Mountain 162; Hides to Magic Kingdom 69 (unblocking); Tintin City bribed for 241 - 103 in plunder; Senate enforces Cease-Fire with Greeks.

1836 Mass Production > Computers; Oil to Magic Kingdom 854;

Notes for the next player:
1) A taskforce is assembling in China Ferry bound for China. A barracks will be ready next turn to heal the troops.
2) The Romans make occasional landings along the northern shores of our home continent and have also just turned up near Kiplingville - continent 42.
3) We are at war with everyone but the Greeks (Cease-fire)
4) Population nearly 20m - Treasury 1182 gold.

Yeah this also happened a few years ago. The remedy then was a Lightning Game with no restrictions on play ... just be QUICK!. If someone didn't post within 24 hours the next person on the list took over.

If there is enough interest we will start one on Friday.

STYOM - The no settler/engneer game sounds good.

Rain is predicted for the weekend here... so after I play in the Sweetness 'n Light game (following Jrabbit), I'll start the no settler game. I may need to try a few maps, just so that the nomad strategy and the OCC strategy won't be the obvious avenues of approach

No settler sounds good -- (count me in). I have another idea & will post a new thread accordingly.

Ok this weekend was my gf's birthday (and anyone pointing out I temporarily forgot that when making my last post will be very sorry )...........so I must report failing to play my turns. Since I have a wedding to go to next weekend if Straybow wants to cut in it seems wise. Then I'll take some turns after him.

Of course, that means I get to waste time however I see fit. I'll probably sneak my computer in to work tonight and play during the slow hours after midnight.

Muahahahaha!

	Tired of ads?

I was dragged, kicking and screaming, to a fancy restaurant and assaulted by a very large roast of veal. The horror of it! Then Sat I was forced at gunpoint to play laser tag with some friends (well, it wasn't really at gunpoint). So much for Civ time.

* Straybow Looks around; wonders if anyone builds improvements outside the capital
1836 Mr. Toads Oil to MK 91 Columbia Silver to Pixar 95. Send loaded transport towards China. Can't figure these two little cities crammed in around Teotihuacan unless they were leftover Settlers? RB Engrs that we need anyway. Matterhorm won't be growing, so sell the Sewers.
Indian warship sinks Txprt exploring coast of continent 45.

1838 China Ferry Barracks; Tommorowland Aquaduct. Dang, Genoa's remnant Engr disappeared—it must've been assigned to Turin instead of Lilo or Teotihuacan. Kip Silk to MK 654 (+4). ThndrMt CL takes out Roman CL, DD, +Vet. Bribe Roman DD at Zenon for 672, new DD kills Roman Cannon +1 more.
DD sinks Chinese Txprt. Invasion force lands, Senate signs a cease fire. Spies investigate Shanghai, Chengdu, Canton and Hangchow; buy an Engr for 248 (it was in the way). Armor units positioned in forts.
Romans land near TofD

1840 Lab Rats make Computers, start thinking about bigger planes. ChMt, Dumbo, Teoti Temples; The Inst Aquaduct. 'Clad sinks Roman Frigate near ThMt. Alpines destroy Cannon+1 by TofD, PPan Riflemen sally forth and kill Cannon. Position Freight for trip to China.
Greek DD kills Musketeers in Columbia; Gk Cannon dies assaulting Riflemen in fort near Tintin.

1842 Spies investigate China. Exploring spy avoids a hut. PPan Riflemen die, TofD Alpines finish off Roman Rifles. Spy sabotages Roman ship, captured. Cavalry destroy Gk Cannon near Tintin. Sell MK Sewers (grew to 35 back in '38).
Silk mined near Anaheim
1844 Lab Rats build bigger planes, think about rockets. Chinese expel a Spy, get fussy about occupation around Canton; Rom Engr moves to north of TofD. Txprt w/Freights spots Chin DD. Spy sabotages Aztec DD near Fantasia.

Spy tips hut, gets barbs, bribes one and both board the ship. Ship spots Gk CL and flees northward (spots Gk Txprt). Goofy Spy spots Rom Armor north of Kiplingville, writes a farewell letter; Goofyville RB Fighter.

1846 Gk ships move back away from Rodentia? Rom DD attacks ours near Lutetia. Romans land near ThMt; 'Clad sink ship, CL kills Rifles and Cannon. PPan Wine and EuroD Hides to Hangchow 450 & 127; Teoti Cu to MK 266 (huh?). Wounded DD spots Rom DD stacked with other unit(s), Rom Armor retreated to hill. Gk DD just out of Ftr range from Cola. Txport spots Gk DD near Flicka.
Pheasant and Silk mined near Lilo and Teoti Stitch (city renamed)

1848 Gk DD sinks Txprt (w/Spy & Partisan). Tintin Temple, MCanal & TLand Airport, MrToad Mkt, NNLand & Matterhorn OilP, MK MassT. Orlando Cloth 24 (+11), DDuck & SWillie Salt to Xinjian 310 (+13) & 300 (+13), Ficka & Mersey Beads 96 & 88, DrunkG Hides 76. Spy sab Rom Txprt safely.
Pheasant mined beside NNLand

1850 Rom ship sinks our DD. Lab Rats make rockets, think about bigger rockets. ChinaF & PPan Temple, Jungle & DisneyC & Pixar & Lilo Mkt, SWilly OilP, Anaheim & Stitch Airport. 2 Spies lost sabotaging enemy ships.

Leave most tweaking to successor. Airports are expensive, so I had bumped taxes up to 40%. Pending activity north to south:
Gems to Byzantium followed by Cavalry
Ship delivering Gold to PiratesoCarib
Ship with Wine heading to Veii, although that might be dangerous.
Ship with Salt heading to Xinjian (seemed to work well before, tho SWilly and DDuck have Shwys)
Should be specials hidden NW beside DisneyC, 2 tiles SW of Goofy and E beside Kipling, and 2 possible NE & SW of Columbia.
EuroD needs more open terrain.

Well this weekend I am preparing to move house. It's been one thing after another recently. I will try and use an evening this week, but if I don't make it by Friday someone else should use the valuable weekend to play on, since this game is taking a while.
