2015 Civ V Tournament (with prizes)

[BluPhoenix]

that citadel

[crackers]

out of interest, which civ is greenkitten playing?

[crackers]

bump

[bd648]

out of curiosity, when is greeenkitten playing civ? we've been at this point for weeks

[Gilthwixt]

It's really hard because of the 16 hour time difference. I just started Spring Break so I'll play from midnight to 6am if I have to. If not I might just end up surrendering if the tourney needs to move along, I'm just reluctant because I know this match is going to be intense with that choke point the way it is.

[rtil]

with the quick pace of the turns and speed of the game you should be able to finish it in a night or two , good luck

[Greenkitten]

We're what, a good 16 hours or so into the game, its taking a while.

[rtil]

i'm shocked it's taking that long. what turn are you on?

[Gilthwixt]

16 hours is exaggerating, it's probably closer to 10. We're on turn 160. 2-minute turn timers are on but there's a bit of lag/locking up, and we've been at war since nearly the beginning so with hybrid turns it basically takes twice as long to get through one.

[rtil]

oooh. yeah hybrid war turns does drag things out. there is a mode in war where everyone takes their turns at the same time, but it's an "early bird gets the worm" kind of gameplay style where whoever has the fastest fingers gets the upper hand in battle since they make the first moves.

[crackers]

me and soup just ended up declaring peace during our game to speed things up, lmao, if only it was that easy in real life. what rtil said is right though, simultaneous turns is really stupid (and notoriously glitchy)

[soup]

me and soup just ended up declaring peace

[SrsSam77]

that is a very light brown turd

[Gilthwixt]

I'd say you guys waited long enough. I'm just gonna withdraw from the tourney, the timezone difference and my schedule makes this impossible.

[rtil]

i was curious about the state of your game. sorry you weren't able to finish it. was it looking like it was going to go on for a long time or was someone starting to edge out?

in any case, that means the next match is @Greenkitten vs @BluPhoenix . the winner of that will go on to play @crackers , and the loser will challenge @soup for 3rd.

[Gilthwixt]

It was looking like it would be quite a while before anything was decided. Greenkitten had a stronger economy/production going because of a mistake I made early game, but my choke point + great wall meant that I was untouchable at least until he discovered dynamite, and considering I was actually outputting more science than him, I think I had a decent chance at turtling up and winning late game.

[rtil]

@Greenkitten forfeits the rest of his matches. @soup wins 3rd place by default. finals is @BluPhoenix vs @crackers , please coordinate a game

[soup]

well this is nice
