Carthago completed

[Keith]

Well, I restarted Carthago tonight. I made a point of going slow and staying out of debt this time around.

I saved all my gifts for a run at victory at the end of the game once I had met the other game ratings. By this time favor had slipped down to about 26.

I did notice that the demand for grain and vegetables came after January each year, and I had made another point of having mutiple granaires setup accepting mostly those items and a little meat. That way I had enough on hand to immediately fill the demand. When I did this I noticed that my favor rating did go up by one. Long story short, as soon as I had the other goals met, I made a save, sent a small gift, then waited a year. Then I made a save and sent a large gift in three successive years, one large gift per yer only making a save before each gift was sent. I finally got the game close and sent to medium gifts and finally got favor up to 63.

This version of Carthago is a bit more modest than my previous attempt.

So its on to the Empire now that I've played all the Republic cities.

Dear Keith,

I want to thank you for your many, very detailed, thoughful and professional answers in forums. None of them are fluff replies, nothing to JUST get post count, as others are tempted to do. I've enjoyed a few of your jokes as well. You are so very well respected for the content as well as your way of delivering help.

I am glad to call you a friend of some seven years. You were the first one to help me learn html, to make sound files, to hold my hand when the world was upside down and silly. Thanks to a very very professional and thoughtful guy!
