Round Up for a Green-faced PBEM

[Whosit]

Hooray!

[yuris125]

well played Ilios and gg all

[Hashoosh]

GG everyone! This was a lot of fun for me, even if I only got to play a dozen turns. Yuri, did you have bad RNG luck at Dawn Treader?

[Ilios]

Er...ok?

Sorry to hear about the kick in the gut Whosit.

GG all!

[yuris125]

Hashoosh - no, I had average luck, but after seeing your incoming forces, I felt that was the best moment to try and go for it

[Commodore]

Good game all, hope you enjoyed the random map you asked for.

[Whosit]

It was a fine map. Ilios did well from his position.

[Gazglum]

Thanks for a great map Commodore, and a great game all. Sorry I couldn't stick it out to the end, but Hashoosh did a fine job keeping our fourth place medal polished and shiny. And well done Ilios, you played excellently from turn 1 and no other result would have seemed fair, really.

I learned a lot from this game and had a lot of fun playing it!

I thought the map was interesting and the positions were different but broadly fair. The lack of food plus slavery nerf made slavery a pretty unappatising choice, which made for an interestingly different early game.

For a review/reference:

Whosit as Kublai Khan of India
Took it over Justinian of Greece or Sitting Bull of Rome

Yuri as Isabella of England
Took it over Genghis of HRE or Hammurabi of America

Dhalphir as Mehmed of France
Took it over Pacal of Japan or Catherine of Vikings

Gazglum as Brennus of Sumeria
Took it over Stalin of Mali or Charlemagne of Egypt

Ilios as Cyrus of Inca
Took it over Peter of Khmer or Montezuma of Russia

Any thoughts/second thoughts on your selections, gentlemen? I always find it a fascinating discussion.

[Whosit]

I think my leader and civ choice was still the best out of the choices I had, I just under utilized everything I had and made some bad strategic decisions.
