CIV 5: a new challenge

Merry Christmas guys! Have a good time!

Hi,
i’m back and submitted by turn.

Merry Xmas!

happy new year !

yea. Happy New Year and welcome back.

So this game is a 3 v 1 co-op?

Mr PREdiger, would you like to join my co-op team please? Just to even the sides up a bit?

I like my continent that I have to myself :wink:

(I suggest a small pangea map for the next game)

why is this a 3 v 1 co-op?

Moby is getting ressources to push your civ back, before he gets destroyed. I think this can be settled in a peaceful way, maybe give up one city next to him? I only know, the Moby has no place to settle somewhere else.

First principle in this discussion = there will be no rage quit from me. I hope Moby does the same. :motz:

It is a 3 v 1 co-op because you three are closely ‚co-operating‘ in lending Moby every kind of resource to attack me with. There are three of you and one of me. That’s why it is a 3 v 1 co-op.

I wish I could share a screen shot of the map with you but can’t for obvious reasons. To the north of me is the ice. To the east a desert. So I did the only thing I could and created a city to the south west. This is in Moby’s area, that is true, but it’s also in my area too. Looking at the map that land now belongs to me – fact. Moby of course attacked me. I would do the same I suppose. Twice he came, twice he was beaten back. If he was going to win it would have been the first time as that’s when he came closest. When I saw he couldn’t win I offered him peace. He decided to continue. Then I started to notice units in Moby’s army that Romans can’t produce. I also notice him buying lots of units and having hundreds of gold that he previously didn’t. That’s been going on for many, many turns now. Then he attacked me a third and a fourth time with your help. Still he can’t defeat me.

Between our Rome and Turkey there are only 5 land hexes. One hex has water, two of the remaining four have a citadel on them. Out at sea I am the boss. Moby can’t get in here to defeat me, even with the total help of two other civs.

Why should I hand over my city then? ??? Can I have one of your cities please? >:D Believe me I have considered handing him the city but it will ruin my transport, economy and make it really easy for you three to finish me off.

Please don’t think I am sour. I’m smiling whilst I write this. :slight_smile: I just wanted you to know that I know what you have been up to. Without your help I’m pretty sure Rome would be close to defeat (in fact I think it is anyway). That I have survived against three players gives me something to be happy about.

At the end of the day I don’t care about this for two reasons:-

1, Next Friday at this time I will be picking Moby up from the airport and I will kick his arse in real life (joke, just kidding, don’t get nervous Moby :-* );
2, He stupidly has sent his Elite Dangerous boxset edition to my home address in the UK and I might keep it as a bargaining chip! :baeh:

There’s more than one way to fight this war.

Please, keep up your attacks if it makes you happy. May the best man win.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Something else, we should really stop fighting and get ready for PREdiger who must come eventually. I’m ready to join a 4 v 1 co-op, you’ll need my ships.

Have no intention to crash your party, but I would worry more about kerris sitting on the same continent being tech leader.

i only support moby (with some units and some money, its not all i have…) because of his „its over, *** it, i leave“ attitude. because some turns ago it looked like he has no chance . and i was afraid of you, because of the aggressive settling (seemed like so) and your civ and city names :wink: . it looks a bit like conquering victory. there is no 3 vs 1 coop. If we all would throw everything we have at you, it would look a bit different i guess.

so there is no peace between you 2 possible?

I would like to. Maybe I’ll speak to him over a beer next week.

If you want to attack him, now is a good time. His entire army is over my side of the map propping up the failed Roman civ.

BTW, his units are the same tech as mine so he must be researching something other than weapons.

I made only a deal with Moby. Gave him my old units, got money and happiness and he keep fighting. A good deal for me. Nothing more.

Would never keep my def down or have no units near my cities.

Moby, you can attack as much as you want, you can’t get in here. Schhesh, will you never give up? This is the longest running war ever.

I found Kerris :wink:

No chance, Mr. This war will keep going on.

And BigByte :wink:

Where is the rest hiding?

Hmm where are you? Not able to see you. Only the players on my isle.

You should be able to interact with me through the diplomatic screen, i refused your request tho.
