looks like I broke that can off in your arse mawim not familiar with this kinda league setup but i do know that im gona bring half a can of soda for that digital guy..thats all he will need 2 beat me
game 1
Me India Vs maw English
I walk 2 and a half turns and name a tile, settle next to whale and dye with 2 trees. 1st warrior takes down a barb for a caravan, 2nd warrior finds a newly created mongol city at 3000, I threaten them for 25g, give them the caravan and sell them HBR next turn. sell a warrior and have my 100g at 2900. I see a tile get named by me and rush a horse on the hill to check it out and its maw. he attacks and looses 1-1.5. I figured since he was close I would rush a boat to surprise him but as soon as i land my militia he has a unit there waiting and kills my militia with a horse. I take my boat with a HA around him looking for the Roman AI he keeps declaring war on. I eventually find it 6 turns later and kill his warrior army that has been attacking it and take rome next turn for CoL. next turn he brings his own horse army down by i am fast enough to take my horse army out of the roman cap and put an archer in there. He then says its pretty much over and attacks the archer as an afterthought takes it out and i take out his horse army with mine. game over GG. 1-0 ME
2nd game reverse of last
Me English Maw Indian
I settle a turn and a half in. 1st barb gives me 30g and i bump into aztec, sell them monarchy for 35g. Maw takes out the russians and maw tells me the germans had just given russia a caravan before he took their cap. my next barb gives me a spy and shows me 7CoG so i put the spy into german cap for 30g and get my settler. The game just takes off from there. settle 100g city on a great spot with dye whale a game and take 7 CoG, take german cap with HA and my militia grabs a friendly for feudalism. I rush a barracks in 100g city and kick out 2 knight armys while heading to maws cap i steal his caravan and he gives up. by then i was going to be grabbing AW for GW and SoC in 4 turns once i had first GP. I win 2-0
oh and i love that you changed it from open a can of wipass to half can of soda lol

can you be beat in this civ league???
He's mean man.......
Grizz vs Multi.....I would like to say these are epic like I was hoping but they werent....Multi caught some hell
Gm 1 Blades Spain(Host) vs Multi Egypt
Well I knew rome was in the game from a barb and multi got stonehenge so that stunk. I take a barb at 3800 off a named tile. Then it gets interesting. I take two steps and get a friendly for a caravan. It shows me multi settled next to a barb 3 tiles away. So I walk 3 tiles south and get a second friendly.....causing mutlis barb to grow 2 in between turns and take him out......
Gm2 Multi Spain(Host) vs Blades (England)
I walk and name a tile and see thebes. I walk around it and find a friendly for a spy so I settle and take them next turn. My spy runs into Multis settlers the turn I take thebes(HGB). Multi walks north and takes Zulu. This gives me a hut the zulu would have taken but it didnt matter as I got pottery. So I attack zimbabwe at about 3000 bc with a HA and lose a 6-4 so he keeps it and Im set back 60 hammers. So I send a horse south to madrid. I win a 2-2 to an archer then he loses a 1-1 attacking that horse. I get the walk in next turn and he attacks 1-1 and loses again to my horse. Thats was pretty unlucky multi. GGs but crappy starts.
2-0 Blades
Week 4 games in agains Liam
1. Liams Zulu crushed my China. We startet to close for my liking. I had almost no gold when he took out Athens for democracy. Diffficult for me to expand much and had no really chance here.
2. My America beat his America. Liam took out Kyoto and I flipped it shortly after. Got a quick HA out and controlled the map. Liam called it when It took out Athens for democracy.
GGS Liam
1-1
So I have 2 games and I choose between India, England, Rome and Germany?
Yup, any combination of 2 of those 4
@Duke: I could probably play tonight at 8 pm EST. I am coming back from vacation and am off tomorrow. I hope I can make it back tonight, depends on the flight and train. If not, then we'll probably have to shoot for the weekend, even though I will be away Saturday.
I could play tonight at 8 EST. This weekend I could play any time on Sunday. Hope your trip was a success!
If I make it back tonight, I will be online around 8 EST. If not, Sunday some time after 1 pm EST seems like a good plan
when are you going to be on itz?
wont make it today,sry duke. sunday it is
Ok, no problem
Whenever you want dude I'm on tonight so guess we can play then
My English beat Dan's English...
Well we need a game description please or I cant post the results. Well done on the win btw
we both got decent gold. he took out the arabs and gemans, and grabbed the kt. i froze out and it messed me up a little, but not too bad. his tech hung at 6 and i figured he was going for early knights. i was about done for but i had a nice double dye/fish island near by, along with collosus egypt to the south. i should have sent my vet WA there immediatly to attack from a hill. instead i waited to bring up a HA. it was slowed considerably when it had to take out the kt, and then got wounded by an egyptian legion. when i finally attacked i tried to save a spy i had (stupid). my WA of course lost 6-15, but failed to wound at all. i then used the spy and lost my HA 12-12. meanwhile i got ga and could flip a dye/game city of denied's. it seemed like a setup but when he got the ark i knew if i didn't flip it i would lose the chance. sure enough he had a HA on a hill overlooking it. when he parked his vet galley on one of the dye squares of my 3 pop, double dye library city i called it. he was going to bring fundy KA's and i wasn't going to be ready.
Hey its cwis. Can you play tomorrow between 10 am and 3 pm? I have to go to Norway tomorrow to attend my son's confirmation and won't be back until monday. Or, if it's ok with Grizz we can play it on monday. Otherwise I have no problem forfeiting, but remember I was allowed to join the league if I promised to play all my matches..
I took out Arabs early and had knights. He couldn't get an AI cap. Mysteriously he quit when I teched knights but I don't know how he would now that... Also I took Berlin cap and he wasn't able to take CoR Egypt. I think maybe his HA died I'm not sure...
Whats civs were you guys
I'll allow it...try for tomorow and get them in by monday if you cant....
...duke and rem are playing on sunday
REM... not sure what time zone you are on. I can play Sunday night... likely about 7 pm CST or later.
Look up
I am in Germany. CET, so 6 hours ahead of EST. for me anything between 12 pm EST and 6 pm EST should work.
I will try to make it back by 5 EST but it largely will depend on the traffic in Chicago.... otherwise I can play Monday or Tuesday after 6 PM EST.
Ade, Cwiz is on now at the times you posted and you are not online. He didn't post to confirm he could play those times because he can't make it to the forums to post but he can read quickly and seen that he should be there.
Sorry. It's been a busy week and now I'm om my way to the airport. I've been checking the forum throughout the day by iphone, ready to run and play, but alas
My Germans beat Dan's Indians. He got the best possible island start, but it wasn't enough. I got AW 4 pop Beijing and Arabs with a march fundy WA... He got 7cog and KT, not really even starts but thats the way it goes... I went to demo and was teching up like mad. Got Monarchy and flipped his city, he took it back and we made peace. Once he saw I already had knights he quit. Was bringing a Vet galleon fleet with a few KA's in a few turns... GG's you were screwed from the start...
Sounds like you both had a good start.....well played......were you able to take advantage of KT dan or was it too far from everything?
Sorry, meant to say if you have to be on an island, that is the one you want to be on. I knew the map in about 10 turns and where 7cog was. Don't remember there being KT but I remember there being AW every time. Ohh and I killed his boat early 1-1 which hurt him some, he may have taken Tripoli but it was unlikely. I was to far away so he couldn't touch me. What I meant when I said it wasn't really an even start was that I had a way bigger advantage...
yeah, i never encountered any other cities after losing the galley. it could have been a much different game if he hadn't found me then, but it sounds like he knew where i was by map memory. i expanded out to 5 cities and was making LA's in dehli. his flip slowed me down a couple turns, but not so much. i had just finished math and could have brought a decent force to him. i probably would have encountered his fleet while on the way. bottom line is he already knew where paris was, and then it was dehli ftw. i was sleepy and saved him the trouble.
So duke vs rem today and cwis vs ade tomorrow right??
I went ahead and posted the match-ups for the rest of the season. If anyone has recommendations for future grudge matches or teirs etc that they want to be used as themes please post them. The last 7 weeks still dont have themes posted yet.
ok just throwing out some ideas for future themes back when I played player matches with "rules" to change the pace or length of the game
jesus rule: no attacking each other until year 0
alone at last: no attacking each other until the AI is taken out completely.
1st to non domination victory, no attacking of cap allowed but city attacks are ok
MEGA city: no making of additional cities, 100g settler needs to be placed in your cap, taking of AI cap and cities is ok for expansion (makes the placement of your cap all important, I see greece, japan, and egypt being powerhouses in this challenge)
Ancient Wars: cannot research past ancient. obviously you cannot help getting tech from taking cities but if you do you cannot use any of the tech earned past 4 tech. I see spain and england as powerhouses in this one
Duke and I will try to get our games (or at least one) in tonight.
Yup, it's a bit hard with the time zone difference but we will make it work. I can play at 5 pm CST which I believe is 2300 your time. I can also play tomorrow starting at the same time.
5 pm CST is unfortunately midnight my time. Fortunately, I usually stay up quite late anyways.
ade and cwis, whats the word?? as far as I know you guys are supposed to be playing today we need to get into the next wee of play
REM... I'm online and ready to play.
