[Commodore]

Employ the Mordoc Mode!

[spacetyrantxenu]

Pick me!

TheDinoHydra?

[retep]

That is a good one xenu but I went with another name.

Anyway the turns are starting to slow down. Is it to much to ask that other people stop their lives to play this game? What a lack of consideration

We are almost turn 100, I'll do a serious report then...or maybe I should ask someone to do it for me

[GermanJoey]

I think I said I'd do two... you just gotta send me the save and password...

[retep]

Okay is a holyday today so might as well just my time writing something here.

Jowy



The leader so far (according to score at least) he has a good research rate, he is currently in a golden age powered with MoM. This is what hapen when Jowy doen't fight someone else.
He is doing fine but a little small for this time. He is bordering everyone but Cornflakes. He is finishing CS next turn and probably revolt to that before his GA ends.
Definitely need more land, I don't think he will attack (no a serious attack) because or broder is tiny. But Bob declare war to him and raze one of his cities so big chances of conflict over there. Who he really worry about is REM but more about that later.

REM



You can see that his naming scheme is "stoping half way because why not" the same I always use.
REM has a strange game so far (took me a while to actually figure out what the heck was going on) he build the GLH and the Oracle which is a good standar play but his tech path was werid, as far as I know he doesn't have currency yet, heck I'm not sure if he even has math but I suspect he does. He is obvious making a beline to Guilds to play with his UU. I asume some bulb is going to happen soon, he is researching Machinery right now, I don't know if he is going to bulb that or if he is going to bulb Guilds, or more interesting if he is going to bulb both.
Anyway he is bordering Jowy, Bob and me (well we shared a corner but you'll see that later) I don't know who he will attack. Attacking Bob is probably easier but leaving Jowy alone could be a huge mistake. Attacking Jowy in the next 10t could be huge more than that I'm not sure. Anyway Jowy is far away from Engineering and there is chance he dosn't know what is going on (I have research visibility and it took me awhile)
I think the game will be decided on how this attack play, one thing to notice is that althought REM has 10 cities now at least 4 of then are pretty recent so he doesn't have much real cities to build his army.

Bob


Bob is the most agresive so far, having raze a city from Cornflakes and one from Jowy. He has expanded well using his traits to protect his cities and affor then. He is nevertheless pretty weak in all aspects (gnp, mfg, soldiers) I don't share a border with Bob and as a matter of fact I didn't even fin Bob untill turn 8x. I know he doesn't have any wonders and that if he keep reliying in his UU to much that could be a mistake in his part. If left alone Bob could grow really strong, the problem for him is that I don't think Jowy or REM will let him. Of course if Jowy and REM fight bewteen ech other this could indirectly benefit Bob a lot. He also has a weak neighbour in Cornflakes for a later conquest, this is pretty much all I can think about him.

Cornflakes


Cornflakes couldn't think of more names for his cities which is why he stop expanding. Yeah that sounds reasonable.
Actually since he lost a city to Bob he stop doing anything. I didn't think that cornflakes will crumble so easy so most likely is a combination of desinteresting and something happening in his real life.
His chance are dire now, having so few cities is a problem, sure he can tech for now but the longer the game goes on the worse for him. War will also be difficult there is only so much you can do with 5 builds for turn. Not to mention that any alfa attack on him will be devastating. Losing one city alone is 20% of his empire. He is my most likely target for later but I need to see how thiing will develop somewhere else.

Retep





If you were asking why I put pictures of the diplo screen from my oponents is because my scouting sucks and I don't have other things to show.
Anyway I'm doing fine considering the relax aproach that I took for this game. To be honest I thought I'll be losing at this point.
My cities have been sadly whip a lot for a lot of infra, my capital is only size 7 which is sad.
I'm not sure if planting y second city was the biggest mistake yet but it definetly slow me down more that I expected.
Another sad thing is that I had to manually spread my religion. I only got ONE free spread.
Considering my lack of Wonders I think I'm probably second right now (actually I'm second) behind Jowy. Nevermind let me trwo some demos to show you guys.




If I'm left alone and I start focusing I guess I could win, but I just happy with playing my 1t/day if only they will only send me the save...

P.D: You can see that in honor of THH I named the city "Human vs Hydra" next to come "Peasantoxygen"

[GermanJoey]

ok, cool, now what about YOUR (!!) empire!???

[retep]

Half the game is knowing what the other guys are up to and taking advantage of that!

Plus I don't really have much to said about me except that I'm awesome

[spacetyrantxenu]

ok, cool, now what about YOUR (!!) empire!???

If you can start conquering people you can rename their cities for different ways to spell your name wrong. Retap, peter, tepar, teper, the ice cream man.... I think I've seen you log into pitboss as most of these before anyway.

[TheHumanHydra]

Thanks for the great report, and for the city!

Edit: That's one weird-looking hydra, xenu.

[retep]

I could do that, but there are still so much names for my cities such as: Sixplusonesoul , ToasterMaster, DoubleMSamurai, SupersocialMunky (too bad this is too long), Dry Cop, and so and so...
