GG all! I got an early Mikey and a mid age basilica to get me some early culture. Thraeg made a strong comeback with big Bill Shakespeare, journalism and some operas, but those got burnt down with a lucky raid.
An absolute killer combo really ruined Thraegs chances at the end of the game. We had ravages of time (destroying Thraegs hangings gardens for 2 happiness) then the age ended, then emigration, then civil unrest. I even threw in a cheeky armed intervention to really rub salt in the wound.
We finished a while back… and (in what will come as a shock to all, I know) I lost. Not sure what the score was; I can look back through my finished games when I get home tonight. Forget if @jason1002 or @tigana won?
I held military advantage for most of the second and third age, and rode the event bonuses until the end. I picked up Sid in age 3 for a few extra rounds of culture… Good game!
I completely mismanaged my happiness in this one, leaving me forced into a theatreless Chaplin just for the smileys. I also completely cocked up on the final turn, accepting the autoprompt to use the Age III Reserves rather than the Age II one, which meant the latter immediately decayed leaving me short of completing Space Flight next turn. Not that the ~20 points would have made a real difference, but I’d have felt less of an idiot. Congratulations @Hardco, and good luck in the final!
Table W6 is finished. Very close scores. For a long time SleepingGiant was taking the lead, supported by a strong army. However, in the final call of the events I was able to pass him by a couple of points…
Gg everyone!
GG! It’s always exciting when it comes down to the final scoring. If we had one more round anyone could have won, so it doesn’t get much closer than that.
