RBP3 [SPOILERS] National Pastime (Rapoleon_Hi of the Aztecs)

[Ruff_Hi]

oh - my score increased because of my tech. No idea if I got the religion. Hang on - Mr NiceGuy's score went up too - so we were the only people to have score increases over the end of turn. He is Carthage and they start teh game with Fishing and Mining which means that I got the Religion!



And I am #1 in score! Err - which makes me the pile on target - must start to sandbag quickly

[Ruff_Hi]

My bet that the attacked party is LT and that LT and Krill had an in game discussion about LT 'illegally' moving his warrior back into his capital.

Reason of the reload request is current situation:

I was attacked on turn 11 by a player who declared the attack after i moved/ended the turn. I am going to be eliminated anyway. Reason why the reload is requested is that on turn 12 building of my worker finished.

HA! Almost right. It was a worker. You can see why Krill really wants to go first - a free worker!

exploit communication ...

Exploit,

As I have demonstrated in pbem1, I can do very strong, game long alliances. Be aware that there is a civilization between us (to your East and my West) that appears very non-communicative at the moment. However, they are a team of 4 so they probably have to check and recheck each others contribution to the message.

Regards

Rapoleon,

Thanks for the intel on the civ between us. Which civ is it?

If you are looking for safe tiles for your scout (forest and hill) then I suggest skirting the south and west sides of my borders. The north and east are fairly open.

Regards,
Exploit

Exploit,

It is India. Thanks for the info re scouting. He ended up next to that lion, but on a forest and behind a river. I don't think he will have any troubles.

Hi DJCiv

I can almost hear the loud music over here. It is good to see that you trust my word re my warrior. While I would have preferred not to be called a liar in the first message that I get from you I guess it just shows that beginnings are difficult time. As such, I will overlook your lying comment and let you in on the lie that you missed ... while I am technically North of you, it is more East than North. I am sure that you can understand my reasoning for this slight mis-direction, driven from my early need for safety (just look what happened to Korea).

Further, your C&D department needs to re-evaluate some of its findings because I do not have a 2-hammer city tile at my capital (BTW - how did you work out my capital name?). Also, I have found another civ off to your West (no, it isn't Rome).

Regarding technology ... as you know, I founded a religion this turn. Obviously, I want to grab a Great Priest to really help this religion spread. As such, I will knock off 1 or 2 religious techs (after the required worker related techs) and then reevaluate.

Regarding tech alliances, I am tossing around the idea of becoming a gold based civ and fueling 1, 2 or 3 other civs for their teching. This will help both parties specialize in selectively constructing appropriate building. I have trialed this in a few games and found that once the coin multiplier buildings come on line, a single gold civ can easily fund 3 researching civs.

Regards,

Ruff

Is that giving away too much info? No, I don't think go ... if I want to partner up, then its best if we are all open about what we want.

[Ruff_Hi]

lfm (my scout) died overnight. Killed by a lion (25% chance). I have a screenshot of his battle that I will post later today.

Guess that is the end of my scouting for a while. I will get another scout out to defog around 99.94 and then rely on chariots longer term to do the heavy lifting re scouting.

You will notice a scout off your South East corner. I am just avoiding a lion in the area so will skirt around your borders on my way further West. How are you planning on playing this game? Is your email handle a clue?

What are you referring to here?

Exploit hasn't even created a spoiler thread.

[Ruff_Hi]

What are you referring to here?

His email handle includes the term 'tech peddler'.

I don't mind about making our intentions known, but whether we are coin provider or tech ace we want to get some good land . It would suck to get bottled in and made useless.

I'm not used to this format and how turncoat it is though, so until I get used to the pattern I'll just keep an eye open.

[Ruff_Hi]

TMIT - I'm working on getting us some good friends. And don't worry - I know that you will push to grab land. And, yes, this game is sssslllloooowwww. Which just means it doesn't take much time to play .

Do you want to play a turn? I'll pm you the password and a link to the game details. I'm off next Thursday so we should test that you can get into the game before then.
