I have Saltpeter? More than one?! Wow, maybe if I wasn't behind in the tech race I would have Gunpowder by now.

Sent to Alva.

alva · December 21, 2003, 12:59

What, C'mon GF, you both already have gunpowder...

alva · December 21, 2003, 14:29

Turn to Cerb550AD

Yeah, he changes his email every third day. Someone needs to tell him they don't go bad like milk.............

CerberusIV · December 22, 2003, 17:39

I have the turn. Will play once I understand what is going on.

CerberusIV · December 22, 2003, 18:30

Now I understand. Turn to Ghengis.

One strange thing. When I first looked at the turn and declined Alva's accidental peace offer nothing happened with my cities. When I actually played the turn I sent the offer back, without accepting it. Several of my cities went into WLTKD!

Alva - would you offer peace again next turn please? My citizens like it.

You find that strange? I would if I was faced with ~~possible~~ complete destruction.

Didn't you already had a couple in WLTK mode?

The besieged city has fallen (Uskubar?).

This should make for an interesting turn.

560AD to Cerb.

CerberusIV · December 23, 2003, 17:58

Well, you have taken one of the easy targets (17 Immortals against 3 pikes was a bit of a mismatch). The real struggle is yet to begin. My, you do have quite a lot of cavalry though.

To Ghengis

alva · December 23, 2003, 18:06

And many more coming.... (I have cavalry for 3 or 4 turns now, so they are starting to reach the front.

)

Another city has bitten (sp?) the dust, although this one certainly did not come cheaply, I especially greet your MI, which IMO have fought much braver then the more modern units.

CerberusIV · December 24, 2003, 09:15

to Ghengis

Alva - good use of terrain. If you can pull off the next move you can keep it up all the way to my capital. Should be interesting.

It's me, back from the dead

Would you guys be interested in starting a C3C game with just the four of us? We're all fast players and good sports so I think it'll be another good game. I'm open to suggestions for the format. Everything random?

I would like to try a full C3C PBEM game so, yes, I'm interested.

Just one thing though - I suggest a pangaea map this time.

marcuspeddle · December 26, 2003, 20:48

I was hoping for isolated islands surrounded by easily defendable mountains.

Actually, we should decide the land mass size and ratio before we start so we can choose appropriate civilisations. I'd hate to choose an expansionist civ and wind up on that isolated island..

alva · December 27, 2003, 00:07

Yep, count me in.

Perhaps starting soon after new-year?

alva · December 27, 2003, 00:08

Turn to Cerb.

marcuspeddle · December 27, 2003, 00:25

I'll be away until January 5th so we can start then if Ghengis is up for playing.
Any preference on land mass, Alva? I'm thinking pangaea will be fun, as Cerberus suggested. Might be messy, though.

CerberusIV · December 27, 2003, 13:18

to Ghengis

Alva - I don't know about the RNG favouring attackers, it certainly favours Persians!

I also really, really wish I had built a fortress on that iron mountain a long time ago.

I suggested a pangaea map as it means no-one is likely to get too far ahead without the others being able to do something about it.

It also means that luxuries, including ivory, are likely to be scattered widely.

GhengisFarb™ · December 29, 2003, 18:52

I'm in for a Conquests version. Anychance of talking you guys into included Treasure and Mines like in AoD?

Sent to Alva. Banzai!!!!!!!!!!!!!

alva · December 30, 2003, 01:19

I havn't really played C3C so far, so I'm not sure what you mean GF.

-

Banzai???

alva · December 30, 2003, 05:32

Turn to Cerb...Bonzai!!!!!!!!!!

And quite an eventful one it was too.
Why didn't you put the catapults on the iron mountain?
-
You came close GF, very close. If you would have waited another turn, it might have worked.
BTW; did you do a suicide run to avoid getting spotted??

Btw2

; anything you can do....

Really? I took what I could get over there over there, that's all I could haul (I don't have many boats

). I figured the games pretty much over and every turn I wait is another round of Calvary you can crank out to stockpile your continent.

alva · December 30, 2003, 22:37

You still have 3 galley's on the other side.

The trouble with them riders is their range, so I needed to take them out in one go. I had about 6 units that were withing reach but lost my first 2 battles (one cav and one immortal). There is still one left though.

Really? Then maybe the two Invasion Fleets can follow up on the work of the scout force you just killed.

CerberusIV · December 31, 2003, 19:26

I have a grand total of 2 catapults. They are in Edrine (there's a clue for you

) and I was worried that if I moved them onto the mountain you would attack the city.

I have the turn but am too drunk to play right now.
