Status: offline 		Turn 1 sent. Here is my start. The tanks are nice but the terrain is very difficult. R&D is twice as much as the previous game though you start out with 500 pp which is almost enough for 2 level 2 upgrades. Only trick is to put an empty unit in the production center so you start next turn with a ship that can move.

I did not edit the file before start so I do not know what was done. My guess is that the B people have a combat modifier that makes them more effective. There is no way to selectively increase the engineer point growth of a sftype. You would have to have a separate SFtype for this.

By the way: I'll be on holiday in France from August 8 until August 23, and I'm not allowed to bring my laptop , so I will either need to beat you all by then or find a replacement/ally to play for me.




We should just be started by then. This is a pretty big map.

By the way, I need to kick your 1st place prize, for the other game, to you Tom. Let me know where to send....and what you want from the listed choices. I'll list other prizes for this game this weekend.

Status: offline 		That trick i knew and used myself. Think this is a legal one.
And it gives definitely a small advantage. But to choose the right direction
to move the ship to is the pure luck....

For the combat modifier for the barbarians: Isn´t this visible in the game stats ?

Status: offline 		Ok Gents,
Here are some of the prizes. Tom had to decline his prize for last game and the game was still a bit inconclusive for the other rankings, so the earlier prizes are also up for grabs. I know that Juergen is a bibliophile like myself, so I listed a couple of books from my library as prizes. First place gets first and so on... I will list more later.


oops, have to resize....try this...

Here is the last proposed book. It's actually the followup to the Lawrence book..." Arditi of Arabia". This book is flying off the shelves. ;)

My first transport fleet has set sail, but nothing to report yet...

All my units are suffering from supply and readiness problems due to a lack of initial supplies. Also the terrain is pretty rugged. I'm gonna need some engineers to lay down some roads soon, but the starting city does not have a lot of excess production.

Status: offline 		Turn sent to Russ.  Key things I did:

- Found the special village and will make SMG to be used in city assault.
- Turn off supply to the tanks.  It will be a while before they are in action and I have much higher production priorities.
- Positioned my HQ on the city and started A/C production for recon
- Put lots of very small units on my transports so I can make multiple landings in a turn.  With autoconquer on, the typical move is to drop off, pick up and move to the next drop point.  I built 3 transports last turn and will build two this turn.  You need alot of transports because your perimeter increases as the radius of your empire expands. 

The first 8 -10 rounds are probably the most important in the game.
