Hi Everybody!
So my first reporting experience is really quite poor. I had hoped to jump into the RB scene with a big splash but instead I introduce myself in miserable failings. Oh well I'm a noob!
OK so my civ background lies in civ 4. I had never heard of the game until then but friends got it and I loved it so I got it as well. Eventually searched for some sort of community and found civ fanatics and sulla's website. I loved reading reports but never found a link over here until a few months ago which was like being a fat kid and finding a slice of cake just for you (no offense to anybody who likes cake!)
Anyways I've only ever won once (a diplo victory on noble) as I don't seem to have the patience to go further into games. I nearly won a space race on prince but couldn't be bothered with the final 20 turns or so. That being said I had wanted to compete in both epic 19 and adventure 30 so bad that I gave them both a shot.
Epic 19 went like this:
I founded on the main dot, bought some visibility and then founded my 2nd city to include the cows and the wheat. Bought mysticism as I planned on getting stonehenge. I bought improvements for the mine and the elephant as I heard maintenance costs were much more on emperor and planned to work the mine to make up for it. I increased the pop in my cap to 3 and my 2nd city to 2 and bought a scout and maybe a warrior. Can't remember if I had enough money. Anyways I was playing on my desktop with a (knowingly) faulty motherboard and I hadn't yet figured out how to set the autosave to 1 turn so after founding a 3rd city to get bronze and chopping out stonehenge my pc crashed and that was the end of epic 19. I do want to go back and do it at some point but right now I just don't have the time. This was shortly after epic 19 was released so I eagerly awaited my chance at adventure 30 as I had figured out how to set the autosave to 1 turn.
Well I attacked adventure 30 with a menace but upon meeting tokugawa and monty early on I was pretty unhappy to see that. I was able to steal 2 workers from tokugawa which I was thrilled about but I lost my 2nd city site to monty so sent the settler to my next preferred spot and lost out to tokugawa. I then razed monty's city and founded where I wanted but soon after that the my power socket went on my laptop and damn future shop's repair facility decided they needed to format to fix it and hence I was no longer involved in adventure 30. I was due to give up on this one anyways as I was already very frustrated with how it was working out. I liked the unique advantage the AI had though.
Anyways thanks for reading and hopefully I'll do better with epic 30 though I'm not promising anything as my 2nd child will be here in 2 & 1/2 days time
