thanks for pushing it when you don't fell well, sir. we are junkies and we need at least a little of our fix.

Harovan · January 22, 2003, 19:11

Turn sent.

Yea I feel awful, but I must work tomorrow.

jshelr · January 22, 2003, 19:24

i really regret to inform you all that we are screwed

about half my units would not move and the game bombed again on the save command

let's sleep on it, but, while the players performed admirably, IMO, the software did not

my gut hunch is that this is a startover. Alexman will have to start with one less city than the rest of us to be "fair"

Dominae · January 22, 2003, 19:28

Darn. This is a pretty crazy bug, if you ask me (especially considering that everything is ok for jshelr in game 3).

I have no problems with starting over, considering our pace. Plus, my little secret is actually pretty boring.

Harovan · January 22, 2003, 19:32

Screw it.

4 more turns and my army of 20 swordsmen would have razed Aesonborg

We should report this to Firaxis, perhaps they can hunt the bug down.

alexman · January 22, 2003, 19:36

Restart! Restart!

Seriously, the game was kind of spoiled even before the bug, if you ask me. Should be have someone look at the new map (like game 3) before we start another? I think so.

Dominae · January 22, 2003, 19:40

Woo-hoo, so we get to post AARs with screenshots early! BOY was my game fun! I'll have the play-by-play available in about an hour (never mind that all of the playing was with myself...).

Harovan · January 22, 2003, 19:41

Since we're going to restart anyway, I have to report, that I was doomed anyway. Although I have Iron Working, some warriors to upgrade and a barracks in every city, I have no iron

, while alexman has plenty of it. The little bit my explorer has discovered, revealed already 2 iron deposits NW of Aesonborg, while I have nada.

jshelr · January 22, 2003, 19:41

I believe we have a case of great minds thinking alike. We can probably benefit from someone looking at the map, and it would certainly be a good idea to get the rest of our canadian contingent onto the same land mass to help me deal with you two next go around.

jshelr · January 22, 2003, 19:43

ralph, you were never doomed. I like you. I was getting ready to attack alex

Harovan · January 22, 2003, 19:46

Alex, are this the allies you were bragging with?

alexman · January 22, 2003, 19:48

Not to worry, remember those two ICBMs I pop-rushed in the beginning?

(jshelr, you have game 3)

"to build improvement-wise along that vector!"

see my "a republic without pottery" from the au game where we started on the island

where can grampa learn how to do these pics

alexman · January 22, 2003, 20:22

Dominae, before you continue, why don't you make a new thread for the AAR of this game in the strat forum? It will certainly be more visible there.

From a first glance, I would go for a granary.

PS. you have game 3.

Let's get started on the new one ASAP.

Who should we bother to have check out our next map? I'm thinking BRC could use a break.

Dominae

alexman · January 23, 2003, 05:05

I just opened a thread for the AAR of this game.

Perhaps one of the guys in game 3 will check the map for us. I'll post there. Basically all we need is for someone to look at the generated map and reject it if it's unbalanced. It shouldn't take more than 3-4 tries.

Dominae · January 23, 2003, 11:59

I've just created a 'Strat PBEM, Game 4' thread here in the PBEM section. I've also asked BRC to set up the map for us. Are you all still interested in a restart?

Dominae

jshelr · January 23, 2003, 14:39

Yes

Definitely not

or

BRC should get his just reward somehow. This is turning into a career for him.

Russ

alexman · January 23, 2003, 15:32

Russ, post your civ choice in the Game 4 thread and we'll start!

Harovan · January 23, 2003, 15:32

Instead of trying out emoticons, you should stick your nose in this thread and state your civ choice, so that we can get things running.

EDIT: Great minds think alike

alexman · January 23, 2003, 15:35

Well put!

No wonder our games are going fast. We're psychically connected. Scary!

Dominae · January 23, 2003, 15:42

I vehemently deny that I'm psychically connected to you bloodthirsty barbarians. Now let's get started so that I may build up my Impi horde...
