I just wonder why you split it up in 3 posts, quick post doesnt allow so many words?

Good job guys. games are going fast and smooth with no problems. Thanks for playing.
Game one against Wise:
My India beat his Mongol. Crazy good start for me taking out China and Greeks. Not much he could do here.
1-0
Exactly...Sorry about that. I'll try to keep it as short as possible next time so i can get it all in 1 post.Originally Posted by Ravenmisca
Hey Star, just curious... why did you wait to take SoC before you generated your own GP? Would that mess up your chance of getting the GB?
better to get 3 great people than 2 great people
got my games in vs Aledeus. Was nothing special.
My japan loses his Egyptians wich was the most horrible start for me ever. No gold on the whole south side, only 1x 30g barb.
My arabs crush his mongols pretty easily. 1-1 again
Yep, this is why i waited. I usually don't take chance of holding off on grabbing this with most civs unless very close to my first culture gp. But with france i was doing like 11-12 culture/turn. Plus, i already grabbed all other artifacts (minus Atlantis, of course) so wasn't in big hurry to explore further with galley. I don't know if it's just my imagination but i seem to get a builder more consistently with france than anyone else. Maybe pottery has something to do with it. I hadn't teched masonry yet.
I have a question about Great Wall rule. Say you're at war with someone. You attack them. Then, immediately after u rush GW. Does opponent have to accept peace right away or can he wait till next turn? I assume the way rule works he can wait till next turn. Just want to clarify. I kinda made a mistake in my game with Civ_star in that i tried to force peace on same turn i attacked him then rushed GW. He didn't have to accept right away. Maybe he didn't realize that when he quit. He may've been able to take my trading post city next turn before i forced peace. Of course, he couldn't of possibly held onto it. I had 2 vet HA's in striking distance of city. Anyway, my apologies to Civ_star for trying to force peace at the inappropriate time.
You definitely get the GB more with France, but I think you usually have to tech masonry. I didn't realize the SoC would cancel out your regularly generated GP—good to know.
I think most tourney rules allow for the opponent to counter during the turn before having to accept peace.
Yeah, next turn peace can be forced.
SoC push the cap culture needed for your 2 next GP to 417 if you didn't had any, so you usually won't have a third one in typical game. It doesn't cancel your generated culture but add 417-150 culture needed.
Got in 1 game vs aledeus. My romans vs his germans. Got greatwall early and it was over... Spread out all over the map brought couple of cat armies to his capitol and it was over.
I think some more games have been played already, plz post the results
Played 2 games against Mario
1. His Japan beat my english in 5 min
2. My Japan beat his Greece in a little longer game.
1-1
I went thru the posts and didnt see any games missing Raven. If you see any games I didnt update post it here and Ill update the standings. Thx
I did not mean your updating missing, but people playing games but not posting them
Forum just did though, so np
oh. i see. misunderstood you.
1 game vs mariioo: my greeks lost vs his rusians.
I tried sending a FR to XXXwise few days ago but i got the message that it wasn't a valid id. I also sent one out to raven and mario but got no reply. I'm wondeing if i made a mistake with mario's id. I think i did with Raven cause i forgot to put in the _ in IN_DIA.
My egypte lost to angellus his Spanish.
Drama game all round, only took 5min or so.
Started at some south looking island with loads of mountains, barely any desert.
Pick up a friendly wich gives me pottery pfff, settle next to 2 deserts 1 tree, figured if i would get Coll i would atleast get something out of it, but got oracle.
Took 1 barb for a caravan, moved it 3 spots just to walk in at a 3 flag barb and 2 spanish warriors. The chances of not only losing my caravan and also having the Spanish on the same land is just ridiculous. Combined with tech from goodie hut and mountain island like it wasnt even worth to try. The only thing that kept me going was 7cities close to me, but never got a chance to get a galley out, and with him taking 7 cities i gave up.
What a nice pointless game at the start of the morning
Just played game 1 against Raven. My spanish beat his egyptians (Oracle, i think). Quick game. I took out zulu in 3500 with walk-in. Bumped into Raven's caravan with warrior 4-5 turns later. I think a barb might've taken his caravan on the turn after i met him. Next barb i take shows me his cap which has just 1 tree but also some iron. I put a WA on a rushed galleon and move it to his cap. Hoping he won't have any units protecting the adjacent hill when i get there (next turn). I get the hill and try a 5.5 to 4.5 fight but fail. I didn't retreat in time. It's ok, though cause i get 7C a couple turns later and he calls it. 1-0 me.
I wouldn't call it "pointless", Raven. It's another game out of the way for both of us. Plus, it helps my record a little.My egypte lost to angellus his Spanish.

Got in two games vs Weismuller. Went 1-1. Game 1 my English beat his Romans. Game 2 my russians lose to his greeks. Game 1 I move and settle on second turn next to barb so i can take it down with 1 flag. Barb gives me bronze work. sucks but ok with english. barb shows me second bard and i see a named tile by the barb which is the romans so i know hes to my south. push out second warrior and tech hbr. by the time i get hbr i have 100 gold from barbs and build horse army. few turns later he quits and says he had bad start. Think he might have lost his horse army or something.
Game 2. i get manhandled by his greeks. he just easily outteched me and my horse armies didnt do much damage didnt even take an ai cap. I was positioned so far away from everyone and first ai i ran into was french and their culture was spread pretty far so couldnt take em out becausing of having to heal. well played weismuller.
Got in my second game vs xwise. my french win versus his zulu. i start on pretty big island with one barb and one goodie hut. 1st hut shows me soc so i build galley and take it. get explorer and artist. by now i find out im on island and decide no hbr ill just try to spread and hope he has bad luck. Well my wish came true. he loses 5 impi warrior armies. some vs china and some vs aztec. he finally takes aztec and i flip it not knowing he has 3 impi warrior armies near by. he attacks with all three and loses to my warrior armie i got from him. he doesnt quit but its pretty much over now. I spread on my island and a couple more islands. get steam power and bring cat armies... game over gg wise
got in first game versus angellus. My spanish got beat by his zulu. He was very close to me and he walked in on the english a turn before i was going to galleon drop them. After that he camped by trees and I had nothing going so I called it. gg Angellus
Game 1 against tourney host japyaknees. I win with zulu against his spanish. I suspected before match he was going with spain so i thought zulu could give him some problems. I took out england for monarchy early. Already had few dye spots picked out including one double dye close to London. I attacked Madrid with a vet impi army but he already had a fortified WA with naval support. So camped his tree. Didn't bother with China cause they got archers fast as usual. I sent another vet WA with a spy to Madrid to disrupt his fortificatolns and try another attack. To my surprise, his militia was defender of city on first attack. He must've put WA on a galleon to try and conquer something. Anyway, i think he brought it back cause next turn it was defending again and i wasn't able to take city. He decided to concede a few turns later to my surprise cause he said i was too close. I didn't quite understand it cause there were still lots of artifacts for him to take. But, not complaining though. Another win for me.
Jap got his revenge against me in game 2 BIG TIME. His germans whipped my usual mighty aztecs. Terrible start. He settles in place but i walk for several turns not finding any AI's just japs grey borders so i turn around and waste a few more turns walking back to starting area. He camps my trees and it takes me forevrer to get a vet HA to get them off. Also didn't get 100 gold till around 0 ad. I did finally manage to get japan and all their cities but it was too late.Jap got Zulu and Russia early. Was never able to even see his cities. He parked several elite legion armies close to my cap and he got monarchy soon after. I knew what was about to happen. Legions were about to become knights and i'd be dead. He rolled thru my cities easily. I gad a few legion armies but they didn't do much good. gg japyaknees. At least from your end it probably was, LOL.
2nd game vs mariioo. My romans wins his mongols. The map was dividing us in two big nearby peninsulas joined by land in the part of below. My part was big and I was lucky to be have many barbarians and cabins. In addition the first barbarians show me 7cog. By galley i approached in the part of above of the map settling my fourth city in his peninsula next to kioto. I had a lot of gold and was alternating settlers with horses. I was going towards him by land for below part of map with 2 HA and 1 AA, overhead in his peninsula i was rushing horses to get tokio but he captured tokio and I decided to wait for him overhead, cause i didnt want to lose this city. For below my HAs met the Americans, but as Japyakness says " kill the human " and I did it i left them but I stole from them a ga and that turned out to be determinant. Before my HAs coming my galley captured one mongol city empty that he has for below part,he recovered with his Ha and after i flip it with my ga. He concedes, because he had bad resynch and he lost a ga.
got in my first game vs mario. my greeks lose to his aztecs. Pretty good start settle on second turn and take down 1 flag barb which shows soc to me. push out second warrior and go fo hbr. He doesnt settle his city till around 3200 and he takes down karakorum. soc gives me explorer and scientist. he then gets angor wat and switches to republic. My HA takes down three more barbs and all give me a single horse so I know have 2 horse armies. I see him snooping around with scout and horse army but when he sees my 2 armies he retreats and sets up some defense. I figure Ill go for math and use scientist for navigation and come with cat army. Cat army takes one of his cities from boat 9-5. nice. Second city i bump into is size 4 and has an open hill next to it. He has single archer inside so i get impatient and attack 9-5 again and lose.big mistake. should of just took hill and took him out slowly. this is where the game turns around for him. He uses great scientist for monarchy and next turn great builder for EIC. couple of turns later he has great scientist for steam power and game over. well played mario
got in game two vs aledeus. my mongols lose vs his zulu. i walk for three turns and see rusian borders. start building warrior for walk in and here comes the zulu. game over. gg aledeus.
Just finished a hell of a comeback game against Weismuller (forum). My egypt (stonehenge) vs his Mongols. I was very close to quitting around 3500 when i discovered i was on a 23 tile island with no deserts and a crappy wonder and only 1 freakin' artifact. But, i'm glad i hung around. Decided might as well try a hail mary attack with a HA. Took a very long time to get it to mainland. Weiss takes out germans early. I press him with my HA and take 1 of his empty cities with single horse i got from barb. I kill his vet Keshik army and take his cap with my blitz HA. Take another of his 2 pop barb cities next to Karakorum. Kidnap GA from Tripoli and flip his market city (Berlin). Ouch...This was turning point in game. I passed him in tech until he rushed EiC in a far away barb city. I already beat him to Nav though. Put 2 non-vet LA and my blitz HA in galleon and started teching up to religion. Took 1 of his nice 3 or 4 pop emty city with drop. Then headed to his EiC city with same attack force...(continued...)
...took it pretty easy after i got in fundy. He only had a couple archers. So now i get to enjoy advantages of EiC. I had a good number of cities too. I took a few more of his cities and he gave in. Used GS on industry few turns after he left. 1-0 me. gg weiss. I really thought u had me.
Worst game for me ever. Just felt sorry for u in the beginning. Well played of u. Cant belive i gave u my cap.
got in game two versus mario09. my arabs lose vs his spanish. settle on 3rd turn after gettin friendly hut and see aztec couple turns away. build warrior army and take them out around 3200. barb shows me AW and I get pyramids. By now he has took out the french and soon after gets atlantis to put him at 5 techs. I build horse army and go hunting and find that know one is within 10-15 turns to me only a couple of barb huts but nothing. now I decide to go into republic and spread to 7 cities very quickly and switch to democracy. Plan is to get nav and bring a little pressure. He now gets 7cog and he starts teching up as well... Im at 45 science per turn and say wth might as well get irrigation but he gets it the same turn and since hes host it goes to him. i then say well lets get monarchy for great person and same outcome. He gets it same turn and he gets great person. i bring a little pressure but he has david and fights me off.. couple of turns later he uses great scientist for industrialization and then brings cruiser fleet and mows thru me... GG mario. I end up 7-7 hopefully Ill make the playoffs but we shall see.
I would like to finish my games. Wiseone, when are you available to play? Anyone knows it?
Just played game 1 against wise. The AI won it for me. Aztrecs took out his japs in 2300 bc. I was India.
Very fortunate in game 2 that i was able to get to him (xWise) before he ran away in tech. My japs beat his CoR egypt. I get walk-in on french at 3500bc. Then i see his yellow/gold borders appear close by when he settles that turn. I get hbr few turns later and have 2 vet HA to his cap by 2600 bc. He didn't even have BW yet. Just few single warriors for defense. Both quick games. I finally broke my cycle of going 1-1 against someone. Went 2-0 this time.
