I'm at a friend's house for a few days and his internet just went down. So I don't know exactly when I'll play the turn

Just as I'd posted my concession update in my thread! Of course there's no way for me to win from here, but I don't mind giving you a few turns of ROFLstomp before calling it a day if you want.

Oh wait, did you lose 3 cities!? neenerneener

I'd like to see the save just to know exactly how you reacted. But there's no need to play on beyond that. Good game guys !

Edit : Sorry, got the save

Edit 2 : Are you sure you want to concede ?

In a 2v1 situation where one of the two is the tech leader with 2x my production and a head-start on completing the Spaceship, and the other has a 3mile high stack of units and an axe to grind!? I can win some battles, but there's no way I can win the war.

As I said, I'm happy to keep playing for a few turns to give us a chance to play with modern toys, but I just don't see a way that I can defend adequately and compete for the Spaceship.

Ok let's call it then. Good game !

By the way, Pickle do you mind doing a small recap of your game ? There's nothing in your thread between the very beginning and something in june. I'm not exactly sure how you went from frontrunner with a nice tech lead to clear third

My job search ramped up (and then I got one and had to juggle "wrapping up old job" and "doing logistics for moving 400 miles away") and I didn't have a lot of time for planning out my game, and then I looked around and realized I'd under-expanded, plain and simple, and was going to fall behind in production and tech. I meant to address this with a chained-golden-age cav attack on you, but then Dreylin attacked me, I had to divert my forces, and I lost my window. I still ended up using those cav to try to make something happen against you (and did take and keep a city from gingereagle until Dreylin's later offensives), but it was a long shot and didn't work.

Between the B run and this, it's obvious that figuring out when someone has a strategic position that lets them attack me for low cost and responding appropriately is not something I'm good at, and given that my interest in Civ 4 has waned over the last, holy crap, year and a half that this PBEM tournament has been going, it's unlikely to be something I move to address.

Ok it makes sense. I think you played well. And so did Dreylin obviously. It was a fun game.
