4H agrees on conceding as well.
Guess that wraps it up then?

Good game!
Would you other teams mind if I logged into your civs to check out your various situations? You can log in to ours - the password is m7. If you do, please leave it like you found it.
GG all. LAMDALAM
If only you and me and dead people know hex, then only deaf people know hex.
I write RPG adventures, and blog about it, check it out.

I'd be interested to know where you guys thought we went right and wrong (early stonehenge, under-rating the Great Lighthouse, attacking Commodore/Lewwyn, not expanding over the water until too late.) GG all, even though I only played two turns  I've only skimmed the other threads, but my initial feeling is that Smack out-warred rather than out-teched the other two teams, grabbing disputed territory and stunting their growth. Am I wrong? Maybe I just concentrated on the war posts?

Agreed; I would appreciate constructive criticism if anyone has the time.
So far: - don't snipe city from team that needs to fight favourites to win / read metagame better - work cottages earlier
Looking in-game as LAM: Wow, you guys had a private island! I'd thought the center one was the only other landmass on the map. Also, I didn't realize yet that razing your city last turn cut off your trade connection to the center island. Neat.

Am I wrong? Maybe I just concentrated on the war posts? Well the combat got almost 100% reporting coverage while the teching obviously didn't. It did help that we did well in combat, but I think the defining advantage of our setup was that we had a really good tech rate. Aside from the involuntary early-game war with LAM, Mehmed was able to supply Elizabeth with close to 100% of her gold needs all game, due to ORG, Ziggurats everywhere, and gold multipliers in the best cities. And Elizabeth had insane beaker multipliers, in large part due to PHI. We produced 11 great people (and also got the free music artist) and had 3 more due in the next 5 or so turns. PHI helped, golden ages helped, and being the only team to bother teching aesthetics and literature helped. Great people really help you get ahead. Reviewing our battles, here are things that happened. 1) We were able to defend against LAM because defenders have the advantage and they gave us plenty of warning. 2) We spent some of our teching advantage to get catapults and horse archers. This let us win more victories against LAM. 3) We spent some more tech advantage getting drama and music. Drama allowed us to 1-move an RMOG city with catapults, and music gave us the artist to bomb and keep it. 4) We spent some more tech advantage on metal casting, forcing LAM to get it too for triremes. 5) We spent even more tech advantage on Guilds, and used horse archers and later knights to take over the northern New World. And having 2 heroic epics pumping out a knight per turn was helpful from this point on. 6) Near the end of the game we got alphabet before LAM and built a few spies, and were therefore able to figure out a city where they were weak to knight attack. 7) At the end we were making almost twice the bpt of LAM (1200ish vs 700ish), and were in the middle of getting astronomy, chemistry, rifling, military tradition in fairly quick succession, which would surely lead to some more victories in one sphere or another. |
