Hi,
you can find the report for my Adventure 3 game here.
My apologies for the short and only sparsely detailed report! This was partly due to the game being not so exciting and partly due to lack of time. My Adventure 4 report will be similarly short, but I promise my next one will be more detailed again!

Wow. Well played. I hadn't thought it was possible to get the Quadruple scoring multiplier, but you did it, and convincingly at that.
Congratulations!

Hi,
Jester Wrote:I hadn't thought it was possible to get the Quadruple scoring multiplier Note how Sirian's first parts end, and how many priest and farmer points he already has scored. I'm sure he got his score quadrupled in the end as well.  And since he's a lot more patient than I am, I guess he (and probably others) will score better than I did...

Possibly -- however, I can only add that my farmer/priest scores were comparable with both of yours and Sirians. It was the late-game warmongering that kept my score down; I had plans to continue attacking, but when I was presented with a chance for victory (and ending the painful playing of a large modern age map on my 512MB of RAM!) I went for it. Ah well, it is the weaker part of my Civ game, the warring.
Nice cossack there at the end! About double the exp I pulled in!

You're the man. How you did it was what I was *trying* to do, though I failed quite gloriously....

Good Game! I noticed that you founded your 2nd city a bit away too. I normally put the second city close, why the reach?
I agree, lots of units and a big map makes my elbow hurt with all the moving of units.

Nice game, Kylearan! I knew you would be one of the people to get the 4x score, and I figured it would take a domination approach to do it.
I echo Atlas' question, why was St. Petersburg so far south? I mean, it's a good location, but what made you decide to push there for the first city?
I feel for you on developing all those size-25 cities at the end, it was tedious enough for me and I didn't develop nearly as many.

Hi,
Justus_II Wrote:I echo Atlas' question, why was St. Petersburg so far south? I mean, it's a good location, but what made you decide to push there for the first city? I had found Qin very very early, and actually thought his capital would be more close to the choke point. I had had some bad experience before with AIs quickly settling near my capital, so I wanted to close off the choke point as fast as possible (when I had sent the settler away, I had planned to found it *on* the hill; I forgot why I decided leave the choke open after all...). I wanted to wage war before 500AD if possible, so controlling the choke point seemed critical to me.
I have found that now that corruption is gone, I'm more open to found my first cities farther away from the capital. This leads to higher distance upkeep in the beginning, but it also allows me to stake my claims earlier. In this case, I knew distance upkeep would become a problem very early anyway due to the map layout. Add to this my paranoia about Qin...

I did not know where to post, but here seemed as good as anywhere. I just had to say that Your No Military Game was awesome, congrats! Nothing else to be said about it except
