Planted my 4th city, Of Mice and Men. It has first ring corn, and 2nd ring banana's and cow, along with 2 ivory's and a marble... not too bad.

Turn 55-
Saw a barb warrior heading my way, sent a dog soldier to intercept. I continue to see demos looking rather eh, but with all this land that i should be able to get ( other than the contested land to the east/north.. i have a metric shitload of land to grab to the west/south. Being wary of Dtay, and others seeing me as weak, i still plan on spamming settlers w/o crashing my eco. Tech path im looking at, is writing - archery ( for oshit /whip ) and then likely a run towards either HBR ( and take out someone that looks juicy ) or continue a more peaceful path and get math-currency.

Graphs, put in spoilers.

Top cities on turn 55.

Behold, the vast English Natives kingdom.

I continue to scout out the path towards BGN, and it looks like i have a choice, either settle towards BGN, or TBS/Dreylin...  i kinda want to do both. I plan on sending my next 1-2 settlers towards TBS/Dreylin, and then everything else is heading west. That is some AMAZING land.
[img][/img]
And of course, have to include a picture of settler killer George Carlin.

Turn 56- Same as before, but with Rusten's graphs. Seems Pindicator is putting Ep's into me now as well. I still do not care for the Espionage part of this game, maybe i just played far too long with it off and grew used to having graphs on everyone..

Demos-

Going to try posting on changes, rather than the same looking screenshots.. if any lurker would prefer to see all the screenshots, let me know and ill continue this posting style.

I continue to chase TBS's warrior around.
[img][/img]
More and MORE juicy land.

Can YOU collect all 25 players on the screen? Whoever has met the most people by the games end is the real winner of the game... right? RIGHT?

WELL. TBS founded in a spot that i believe to be slightly more "pink dot" than just a normal non-aggressive plant. especially because i was planning on founding 2 tiles above or so, and now i cannot, .... especially with stonehedge from dreylin, and creative from TBS. im moving my settler down to the Rusten area. i was thrown way off guard, i had moved a dog soldier right next to where he ended up planting, with an archer/settler and a worker building a road next to it. i declared war, and offered a Cease-fire. Hoping that he would see that as me saying, Hey, this isnt going to work/be friendly.. looks like he likely just doesnt give a shit. Good. Saving gold to 100% to Harchers and going to use that to cripple him if not at least cause him to be annoyed. Moved my nearby DS's to likely enter his territory about the same time and look for a target. if none, just cause general mayhem till harchers come out. Maybe if he wasnt creative, and didnt settle it, ( im fairly sure ) closer to my cap than his, it wouldnt be nearly as bad. But i feel hemmed in as it is, with 5 damn neighbors, and no REAL easy "backlines" as im really just heading towards another neighbor with basically all my cities... Nothing on the map makers, im sure the starts were all randomly given out, but God, Damn.

ill keep my cool and not go imo, "all out" to keep someone like TBS from winning via being a prick. But he will be slowed down by taking that city area from me. Pics starting next turn.

Hmmm, it looks like you moved after TBS on turn 63, and then before him on turn 64? I guess if you're indeed involved in or intending war, you should wait to play after him on turn 65....

i dont know for certain what im going to do, and didnt realize ( i dont watch civ-stats super hard ) that i had double moved him. i can wait till he plays turn 65 anyway. Not like this game can go much worse for me at this point heh.

had some time to think it over, going to try and just take some land from the other side. Still looking like shit, but not going to intentionally screw anyone else over if i can help it. But with 5 neighbors, and not knowing the meta of this group, ( aka compared to multiplayer on gamespy ect, its ALOT more peaceful than what im used to ) i built way to much military, and it shows. I am fairly high above everyone i have graphs on for power, but im near the bottom of the field in basically everything else. Had i known ( or more likely, read ) that its alot less rushing/aggressive plays on RB, i dont think id have taken Native America. Im betting when i finally get eliminated ill have alot of great reads about how shitty ive been playing. Wont let it get me down though have to start somewhere.

[superdeath]

Turn 66-

I retreat my random dog soldiers back into my land, spy a viking chariot that could snipe a worker/kill my DS. Settled Brain Droppings in the south, planning on another city after Harry Potter finishes its library. Met Gavagai/egypt last turn, and found his border. Going to skirt around them.

Demos are weak.

Hoping to at least SURVIVE, till the end.. but with 5 neighbors, and Rusten, TBS, and Dtay being top tier... honestly makes it hard to play lol. Hoping to find out before i die ( or hell when i do ) what the map looks like, to confirm my thoughts that im just screwed compared to others.
