Gaspar and Lewwyn listen to backseat drivers Brick and Noble

[Lewwyn]

So I was basically thinking about the discussion in the CtH 1.5 thread and how scooter said he still though EXP was the best expansion trait.  And that got me thinking about how Pacal might still be the best leader and I thought it might be fun to try and prove it.  

I saw your pick in the setup thread before seeing this, and my first thought was "hey maybe someone agrees with me."


Glad to see you guys take a more traditional vanilla BtS pick to have as a comparison point. Games so far have had people mostly just load up on the stuff that's new.

I think even with our pick we are doing something a bit new too since the half price aquaducts is new and paired with Barays is interesting, but yes there is a bit of let's see the conventional bts.

Also will someone pick Inca? we still have two candidates including Jowy, and I hate to say it but Wangkon of Inca would be pretty baller.

novice I was inviting you to come stop by our PBEM78 thread, which is a more traditional game. But of course you are welcome here as well.

i'll take two 40b techs for $200, alex

Gaspar - 11:52 AM
look its all worth it for a mediocre monument replacement
especially since he'll want loads of monuments as a pro/fin leader

NobleHelium - 11:53 AM
lawl

Gaspar - 11:54 AM
also
i get the idea that moving it to archery from mysticism means you can ignore the religion line
but uh
do i want to wait until archery to pop borders?

NobleHelium - 11:55 AM
that is a good point
well
archery is the same cost as myst
so i guess it's fine

Gaspar - 11:55 AM
archery is a 50b tech?

NobleHelium - 11:55 AM
60b

Gaspar - 11:55 AM
right right

Noble Helium - 11:55 AM
myst is 60b now remember
INDIRECT BUFF TO NATIVE AMERICANS
JOWY IS A GENIUS

Gaspar - 11:56 AM
lol

NobleHelium - 11:56 AM
PRAISE BE

Gaspar - 11:56 AM
i mean
i guess archery is a more generically useful tech than mysticism
but i still dont want to build archers in an mp game, even if my monument is giving them xp

NobleHelium - 11:57 AM
well i'm sure he's going to build a lot of archers

Gaspar - 11:57 AM

(or regular, khmer horse archers)

NobleHelium - 11:57 AM
well cg2 archers are fairly good against HAs
still not as good as spears of course

Editor's note: Archery is actually cheaper than Mysticism due to the prereq bonus (PRB).

Oh, there's more?

Wait, how did you go from

I politely ask that the players from the past whom I played against several times and do not wish to play against any further do not join this game; that includes backdooring into the game via dedlurking as well as smurfing or sockpuppetry.

I have never played against any of those players.  Gaspar did play against Serdoa, I guess.

I have also played against Lewwyn and Bobchillingworth. :P Also, you have played against Lewwyn. Bob is in fact the only one of the three I have not played against "several times."

For specifics: PBEM14 (me vs Serdoa, Lewwyn), PBEM29 (me, Noble vs Lewwyn), PBEM47 (me vs Serdoa), FFH7 (Lewwyn took over for Rawwking.)

I guess I never have played against Bob, I felt he had. I've played on a map he's made though (PBEM24.) I've also played with almost everyone in the field in many games of WW.

[NobleHelium]

When did I play against Lewwyn? And you only played against Serdoa once IIRC.
