Sullla's Epic Four Non-Report

[Gusto]

Wow! I never thought you, Scullla, would loss a game. No jab intended. I’m just believed your background and experience in Civ4 made you untouchable. I can see myself doing something very similar being a newbie to Civ4. I’ve read all your reports, finding them very instructional and entertaining. I look forward to reading your reports when an Epic/Adventure closes. Thanks for posting the lost. It inspires the newer players, at least to me, to read the reports and play more challenging games.

Actually i lost 30 years before you, though i didn't report, as I was out of computers for the week. My #1 move was to exchange a warrior for a scout. (The warrior got killed while the scout ran away)

Nice report anyway

Sulla: c'mon! Be a man and post the report on Your website.

I'm not planning on doing that, but it has nothing to do with machismo or anything like that. Longtime readers of my site will remember that I wrote up extensive reports for Civ3's Epic 12 and Epic 17, both of which were losing games. I wrote up a short blurb for this game too, even though a pre-3000BC conquest loss is about as humiliating as things could get.

But the game lasted a total of 15 minutes, and I snapped a full 3 pictures for it. To compare, I took over 150 for Adventure Two and more than a thousand during Rogue Revival. There's no report on the website because... there's not much to report!

I wish it were so! But I make mistakes all the time, and I freely admit them. A close reading of the reports I post should make that obvious. I failed to build the Pyramids in Epic One, and that delayed me by at least 10-20 turns compared to the other results. I did not scout to the east in Adventure Two (and I usually push exploration pretty hard, whatever Sirian's teasing might lead you to believe), thus missing out on the only good land within striking distance of the start. I thought my game was nearly flawless in Adventure Four, but Zeviz played things better from start to finish by utilizing an early Academy in the capital along with early Bureaucracy from an Oracle grab. Epic Two, uberfish and Compromise micro'ed the end of the game to a degree that I wasn't interested in pursuing and jumped ahead of me. Kylearan blew us all away in Epic Three with a creative use of Hereditary Rule.

I have been killed so many times in Multiplayer, it's not even funny...



Anyone who thinks I am untouchable is sorely mistaken. I'm just a guy who plays this game for fun, and types up whatever I happen to find. When there's enough to make a report out of that, I will do so. But when there's not, there's not. I shouldn't have to post something on Epic Four to convince the readers that I make mistakes.
