Hello. If it’s not an issue that I’ll be on vacation from 22 to 28 July, I’d like to join this game.

That is too soon and for too long at the start of the game.

Don’t worry, Im going to be pumping games in to the open games list. Im sure I will have one open when you come back.

thank you for asking before joining by the way, you are a saint.

Alright! See you soon.

Here is my current open game

(Sorry, should have private messaged that one)

On vacation until Thursday…

@Greylock thank you for playing and right to the end.

Hell of a multiple front war going on right now Valamas. I’m really enjoying this gameplay right now.
I went with a lot of early to renaissance wonders as China, built up my Culture yields as much as possible. Around the time you knocked out Alexander [Greylock] I reached Totalitarianism, however you passed my science production greatly and have an era or more of advantage now in tech.
Going to be interesting if I can keep pressing my advantage on government in time to stop a few mechanized infantry, etc. from blowing down my house.

Last turn or two ago was when I ran out of options.

Major mistakes/learnings I made. Should have attacked you first. Did not setup a proper invasion with army. Was amazed at how strong your cities were from my battleships. I did not understand/use naval combat and flanking (hence navy was spread out or individually attacking). Did not promote navy for speed which made them easy to hunt down. Lacked culture in getting Armadas was my downfall. Make stupid moves to scout.

This was my first game with people since joining PYDT last year and did not setup my districts well compared to games I do now.

It seems you do not have many industrial districts.

Very well played. I offer my surrender.

Surrender accepted.

Having access to armies as the war broke out, as well as many more admirals than you won me the water wars. I also had the early game wonder to increase all naval movement by +1 which gave me the engagement/disengagement game.
Land battle was much different as I had to build barracks to react. However, Totalitarianism production bonus on units as well as instant army building made it work out.

Great game all, Well played Valamas.
