[PC Game] Civilization V: Let's Conquer the World

We played on Sunday evening... but Chad saved the game and we are going to play again this Sunday evening. There were two people who dropped out who we can have others take over their civilizations (India and Arabia).

I'm just saying... India was taunting me and is going to be feeling the wrath of the legions (even though the player dropped).
 
So I missed out on the game?
Well, the start. I think we're all in the medieval era now? Like Azure said, there are two open Civs (we could also 'accidentally' nix the other non-forumite, though that seems a bit mean >.>) you can pick up on that have been AI controlled for a while.
 
And you never will...unless you give China a reason to let you *cough*.

Pffft.... you're not even on the same continent ;)

Let's not forget who has the strongest military. The Roman empire may be a dump at the moment (because Chad keeps hogging ALL THE DAMN WONDERS!)... but we can kick ass... :)

How do we know who has the strongest military? Seems like that's making some assumptions, unless your scouting abilties are a lot better than mine.
 
Yeah, I wasn't saying it just to be a pompous jerk ;).

I think Chad put all the militant players on one continent just to let us beat the hell out of each other... :ninja:
Oh, I wasn't concerned about that, more that you had gotten stealth fighters already and were watching everyone. :aaah:
 
Since I have no Civ V, let alone BNW, give me updates! I'm living vicariously through you guys. Who's in the lead? Any embarassing diplomatic faux-pas yet? Obviously I'm not looking for all your state secrets, but the general state of the game is certainly something I'm interested in.

Rome/Azure spent the early game on top, if I recall correctly. I believe this was due to military dominance in his region, but he and I haven't formally met, so this is speculation based on his claims.

Other score-ers were pretty evenly middling, with only Japan really trailing.

Toward the last hour, I(Russia) zipped to first score by getting lucky with several Wonders and my army's successful campaigns against barbarian settlements earning me friendly terms with the AI City States. I think I've fallen to second now, to Rome/Azure again.

China/Terrik has rapidly expanded on our continent and has developed some rivalry with the AI Arabian Empire.

For some reason I can't remember what nation Rev is playing as. But he's on the Rome/India/Japan continent, so I haven't encountered him.
 
Just popped in to say I tried Civ 5 for the first time last week.

Disclaimer: I have never enjoyed a strategy game before, just didn't appeal to me.

Verdict: I've played almost 20hrs in 4 days. Holy crap it's good.

Excellent, a convert! What nation/leader did you choose to play as, and how many other civs?

I went random and ended up as the Incans.
I think 4 other Civs? Currently working on America with Russia growing and looming behind me. Only have America and Russia left on this game, I think?

Nice. I have never played as the Inca... I hope you march to splendid victory, may all witness your unstoppable glory!
 
If I can scrape up a better PC in the next month, I'd like to get into the next round. This PC can barely play the game. I have to restart the game every 30 minutes or so.

Hey, when you play as Rome you have to use those legions wisely... ;).

Too bad Chad gets to play "build all the wonders" in relative peace while Germany and I have an arms race.

I will crush India... just saying. Woe to anyone who picks up that AI player :twisted: (aka the guy who was playing India before he dropped out made diplomatic faux pas about my legions and my sacking of city states)
 
Pah! You've forced my hand since stealing all the wonders and putting me on a continent with only one other Halforumite. I need more cities to catch up to your production and research levels (and my empire has been unhappy pretty much the entire game too lol).
 
Does this mean we'll be skipping gaming this week? Just wondering--if so, I'll hit the gym this morning rather than waiting until the afternoon.
 
Yeah, I'm sorry again guys. I could have/should have uploaded the save file so someone else could host, but I didn't think of it at the time.

I should be good for next week, but if everyone's available earlier this week and you'd like to do a make-up session, I'd be in for that. Friday and Saturday this week are the only days that I definitely can't right now.
 
It wouldn't have been fair to have a crappy AI managing your glorious empire anyway... although we might have been able to build a few wonders in your absence ;).

I can't do any make up sessions unfortunately. I'm busy Friday and I have a big LAN party at my place all day Saturday and early Sunday.
