Nomads GotM - deadline December 20th

To repost this image:

I went Media>the Xfire image and copied the code in the third box under the picture> pasted it in with [img] code (first button on the second row with [ center ] tag (buttont on on the first row) wrapped around that.  As I said before, when you upload using the Avea button, it automatically posts with the BB code, but I don't much like how that puts it in a visible box.  The Avea button is new, and I just found out it did that when I posted that post.  I may continue with the second tab in the future; I don't know yet.

So here is my attempt to post my screenshot using this technique:

I initially used the BBC embed code, which did not work, so I tried the Direct link, which did work.

I will edit my prior post accordingly.

Good work EM. I' allready pass that year and still didnt finish it. The game is actualy decided, but taking the cities takes time.

The game is actualy decided, but taking the cities takes time.

Exactly.  I don't know if your game is like mine, but constantly rising water levels caused the mop up to take a lot longer than it otherwise would have taken.

Exactly

I had a go at this scenario, but as usual I failed miserably. 

I might have another go, though, since I think I know what I did wrong:

When the University seemed to fall so easily I couldn't resist trying to eradicate them at once. This, however created two problems.

• It allowed the Spartans to grow too strong, while I spread out too thinly.
• It gave me a shared border with Morgan, who decided to declare war just as I had come within needlejet range.

Oh well, better luck next time, I guess.

If anyone wants some advice on Nomads, I started an advice & After Action Report thread here [warning: lots of spoilers]:

http://alphacentauri2.info/index.php?topic=2663.msg13769#msg13769


I was originally thinking of posting the advice/AAR on this thread, but then realized everything I wrote would be a spoiler.  So I felt another thread would be better.

Can someone validate that my entry is OK?

your submission is valid, Earthmichael.

I thought this was a very fun scenario!  Thanks for making it!

glad you enjoyed it!

Great art!  You should sign these in the corner!

I have not seen anything posted, but what is the best entry that has been emailed in so far?  I am wondering what time I have to beat if I retry this.

[Buster's Uncle]

That would be you as far as I know - the scenario has been downloaded 56 times, which is doing well, but I'm not aware of any other submissions so far.  Maybe as the 20th looms, that will change...

The word "Nomads" brings up another faction in another game called the Nomads. In Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic, these were true "nomads". They had the ability to pack up a city and turn it into a caravan unit. They could then move the caravan and set it back up anywhere they wanted. The caravan was weak and easy to destroy. It would suck to lose your big city because it was in a weak caravan pod!
