New Beginnings Game

Turn arrived just in time, Thomas
Sent to George.
 
No idea why everybody wants peace. Last game showed how much worth such a early peace is.
Hopefully nobody is disappointed when his "ally" starts attacking him [8|]

It seems Toms and my empire are in a race for production again.

Well, I only got 2 small cities and one big so far. Not sure if I am as good as the rest of you guys.

At least George and Seille are better players then me. Against Tom and Arditi I have not played so far.

I suggest you follow Toms tips from the last postings (production balancing, recon groups and so on).
This is imho the key for fast expansion.
For a less experienced random game player (like George was in the last game) these tips are gold worth !
 
As Tom wrote the initial expansion, means the first 10 turns, are the most important of the game.
 
You don´t know Tom ? He´s a very good player. Hard to beat. Russ did not that good in the last game, but he was a tough
opponent in earlier random games we played.

Turn to Tom. Expansion is picking up, but indeed the terrain is very rough to traverse, so most of my expansion has been by sea. I think this game will see a lot of naval battles, since so far all islands I've found were pretty small and limited to 2-3 towns/cities

Hi George,
 
I did not see your email.  Could you pls resend to both my google and yahoo accounts?
 
Thanks, Tom

More exploration. Looks like Seille, George and I have found some of the larger production sites. Arditti and AD are still looking. At this point, I am using my inner production sites to make planes and engineers and my outer sites to make cargo ships to put them near the point of expansion. The islands are very close. There are a few larger ones which act to funnel me in certain directions. It has a Solomon Island feel.

Turn sent.  Email sent to AD asking for peace.  No response yet.  Expansion going nicely this turn.  Found a major Capitol and another large city.  Lot's of islands so far.  I have not found my major supply site yet.  Hopefully soon.  Turns moving quickly...maybe another tonight?  Fingers crossed.

Afternoon Gents,
I have grave concerns for the inhabitants of our game. One of my select spies broke into the downtown Hq of Darth Seille. Luckily our man slipped out unhurt, but what he brought back is quite disturbing. This picture was found glued all around his rumpus room. Yes, that's right...not only was there a billiard's table, snacks(Hostess Ho Ho's) and...this particular picture posted all over the room. I believe he intends on subjugating us to his will...in the picture was myself, Archduke, Tom and George. We may have another North Korea on our hands gents...more to come.... [;)]

Turn to George. Now i must sleep a bit.
Funny game. I like the rough terrain after the first shock is over [:)]

[Arditi]

...cough..cough...turn?[:)]

[george1972]

Turn to Tom.

Expansion slows as the edges of my empire get bigger and bigger...

[seille]

Too sad, today the turn won´t arrive in time for me.

[tweber]

Turn to Arditti.  More exploring.  Wondering when I will bump into a neighbor.
 
 

[Arditi]

  Hi Tom,
  Turn was not attached.
  Thanks, Russ[:)]

[Arditi]

Turn sent.  Found my last large city.  Offered peace to Seille and Archduke again.
   Interesting terrain.
     Regards, Arditi[:)]

...subterfuge and spying are the order of the day. All the combatants send out their best spies to gather information. Here we have a "Top Secret" photo of "Matahari Seille" seducing the other nations, at the local pub, trying to gather national secrets. Stay strong gentlemen! ...don't give in to his charms! [;)]

[seille]

You´ll pay for that Pic, Russ [:D]
 
The price ? At least 1000 rifle [:'(]

[Arditi]

hahahahahaha...  I'm sure you'll make me pay dearly by destroying my army![;)]
  Take care my friend, Arditi[:)]
