ALWAYS go Japan.

To be fair, I'll try to get the celts. The dream would be Saladin of Celts. But SPI/AGG Japan does seem pretty nice.

Opponent Analysis: Nakor



Let's have a guest make the comment this time (PB16 spoilers from NH/Gaspar's thread):

I get the impression folks would all like us to lay down and take our ass-whipping like Nakor does, show Gavagai, Mikehendi or whomever else wants to show up our belly and be done with it.

We just need to wait to see what player will play the role of the ferocious deinonychus this time. We all now Nakor's role...

We can see our start! Can you log in, Darrell? I can't do it for quite some time (and here's hoping my notebook can handle the map).

Dude, I don't even have the mod installed . I'll get off work, go home, feed the kids, take the boy to scouts, do HW with the girl, make a few (few = 3) pisco sours, install the mod, and THEN I'll log in and see the damage. If the wife is in the mood other things might get inserted into the plan, so I can't give a firm ETA.

That reminds me that I also need to install the mod.

This is all fault of the lazy mapmaker that didn't even post starting screenshots in the threads!

oh, and our theme absolutely has to be football related, and we need to make it clear how superior pele is to that jackass maradona

Just to get ye started here's a nice pick of the team of the millenium:


The team is:
Back: Joe Keohane (Kerry), Enda Colleran (Galway), Sean Flanagan (Mayo), Dan O'Keeffe (Kerry), Sean O'Neill (Down), Tom Langan (Mayo), Sean Purcell (Galway), Mick O'Connell (Kerry). Front: Mickey Sheehy (Kerry), Kevin Heffernan (Dublin), John Joe Reilly (Cavan), Pat Spillane (Kerry), Martin O'Connell (Meath), Tommy Murphy (Laois), and Sean Murphy (Kerry).

And only one wuss soccer-ball player amongst them (clue; he's the skanger)

All that Irish and no red hair? Someone's having some fun at our expense .

Fear not, friend Darrell! You can keep enjoying your tasty pisco sours, because I managed, against all odds, to log into the game.

Three Huzzahs for our great accomplishment!

Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!




Our fearless leader! Three Cheers for our great leader!




Our inspiring start! Cow with hunting deserves a toast!



Boy, playing in a Pitboss is a heady experience!

The password is "Hobbes".

Start seems good. We have a resource that we can improve right away and we get the EXP bonus to workers by settling in place. The unforested hill can be a good tile to build workers/settlers before we have BW (if we decide to delay it for some reason).

I'm at a bit of a loss regarding where to send the scout. Maybe send it north, since I think we shouldn't move away from the hills if not for some awesome tiles in the fog. So, we check if we have these awesome tiles... Though settling 1S means losing the EXP bonus until we have a border pop, so it's not that desirable either...

SIP seems like the easist solution .

SIP seems like the easist solution .

The next difficulty up is to move your scout before you settle.
