[SPOILERS - PBEM17] novice and spaceman - Suryavarman of India

[spacemanmf]

So, with no immediate iron, should we go Monarchy-Feudalism-Machinery-CS and settle on StM's iron? Next GP golden age into Bureau, OrgRel and Confu? And Theocracy on the last turn of GA?

Sounds like a plan. Longbows will bolster our defence substantially and also enable us to defend the iron city.

Finally caught up on this and, uh, wow.... If I'm fully comprehending what just happened, this goes down as one of the dirtiest plays ever made at RB.

Wondered where'd you had got to!

We've missed your moral support. Although to be fair the lurkers have been pretty supportive.

Hah, yeah I got a bit behind on the thread but I'm caught up now.

I think you guys should declare victory for yourself in the UN thread. I mean if every team is going to drop all deals to declare on you in order to wipe you out of the game, I say that's about the same as conceding.

Well, darrell has admitted as much in chat.

Novice has been prodding the alliance to see if anyone will break, but nothing doing.

With us taken out of the game, Kyan is the sure-fire winner. But I guess whoever is left will declare on him, right?

That said, we're not out yet. Longbows soon, although Kyan has them soon too as well.

I think I'll post in the UN thread and see if people are interested in playing on. Is that OK with you, spaceman?

Well I played another turn. The turnplaying is no bother, the diplo is annoying though. So maybe I'll just tune that down to a minimum.

Darrell has an archer in England and he killed our chariot with a spear from his galley. Shoot the Moon has an axe and an archer in Bursa and a spear on its way as reinforcements. His buddhist holy city is on a hill and is garrisoned even better. We have two axemen and two chariots on two galleys. We'll see if they can do anything meaningful. If not we might send them to capture Thailand.

Discovered Monarchy this turn. The last nine turns we've discovered nine techs:

Metal Casting, Polytheism, Monotheism, Priesthood, Code of Laws, Hunting, Archery, Iron Working, Monarchy. Pretty awesome. Unfortunately Feudalism is not a 1-turn tech.

Yeah, I'm happy with radio silence as before. That will make it a lot better to play.

I found this while looking for diplomacy demotivational posters the other day & it seemed appropriate for here:



That's what I'm hoping you go out & do - smash things up, conquer the world and win despite their best efforts

Yes, well if we want to win I think we'll need to do more growing and less smashing.

Your pic's not working.
