Found a warlord ... we should upgrade him ... it's free and no exp reset.

We learnt plastics, someone set research all the way to satellites ... might as well, less thinking on my part :p

Meanwhile, Gandhi keep sending his ships.

More ships.

Even more ships

This time, he managed to land ...

Phants and trebs? Pbffffftttt!!!! That was wiped out immediately.

I have troops deployed to take on Hannibal -- a navy stack is with goto, currently at Mehmed's territory, 2 more turns to reach Hannibal's border. When it arrives, it's time to whack on Hannibal.

But, don't expect an easy fight:

Fortunately, while he excels in quality, I think we more than make it up in terms of quantity.

Good luck!

Fortunately, while (Carthage) excels in quality, I think we more than make it up in terms of quantity.

Sometimes, you gotta play 'em they way they're dealt to you.

:spear:

Get em!

I will play another 10~20 turns tomorrow if there is no got it from the other player (singular, no 's', as it is obvious there is only 2 players left).

--

then there's us "others" that wish to dear god we could scrape enough time up to play!

Anybody knows if there is a deadline is for this SGOTM4? At this rate, we may play til 2008.

Gandhi keep sending ships for our destroyers to gain experience, and he managed to land 6 troops.

Ha, who had ever seen trebs, cannons, and artillery on the same stack! What's missing is a cat .... wait, artillery? Gandhi has artillery!

The stack was easy target for our defenders ... although we had only a couple in most cities, but the railroads made it easy for them to repel any stack Gandhi might bring.

All those ships sinking and siege killing gave us a GG ... hmm it appears in the other continent. Alrighty, warlord it is.

Our main navy stack arrives, and I promptly declared

Hello Hannibal, Remember a few hundred of years ago? You've chosen unwisely then, and now is time for pay back! :hammer:

Boy, don't you love to attack with a CR3 warlord infrantry

RNGod is pleased with our bold and swift actions, and rewarded us thus:

Encouraged, our troops on the eastern front takes Hadrumetum:

Meanwhile, Hannibal attempts to sneak some troops into the former American cities ...

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f81/9r3yf0x/sgotm02/vqsg-AD1854-hannibal-sneak.jpg

I laughed at him, and bombed a pile load of sh!ts on them. Stink, they tuck tails and went back.

Hannibal seems to want to make Ultica his final stand ... probably because of the shrine there.

Nope, that's not enough my dear.

Our next target will be the capitol city which houses the Pentagon (well, at least according to a sign someone planted there). And for that we are given an artist.

I played only 8 turns, as things are getting interesting. I hope this will entice players to pick up the save. If there is no Got-It post for the next 30 hours, I will play another 5 turns.

I have wasted quite some artilleries, so next player (well, probably myself :crazyeye:) most likely will have to change some builds to artilleries to replenish.

This completes the southern coast, forces are now moving north via land.

However, bad news is: Mehmed declared on us. Most likely bought by Hannibal, the initial forces are minimal, but we have to reinforce the former American cities. Most probably, though, we have to give up the lone city that is cut off by Ottoman borders.

Looks like things have been going pretty well.

A pox on Mehmed.

I'll play a set when I've bought some more alcohol.

Oh, and what's all this "the other player" nonsense??? :gripe:

Well, despite the lack of players, your lurker is enjoying this mightly. Nice job of ::hammer: :hammer:, Grey Fox. The timing for the Silver and Great Artist is a little bit scary, I must admit.

I'm a bit pushed for time so I'll just give you the essentials.

Continued the push against Hannibal:

He is now down to his last city, but the berk positioned it 1 tile inland so I can't use the destroyers to break down his defenses - selfish sod. Now it will take longer to capture. Inconvenient.


http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/284/civ4warlords20070619111ci0.jpg


Mehmed (who declared on us because Hannibal become his vassal a few turns ago) threatened Chicago and Atlanta as expected. He ended up wasting quite a few of his troops at Atlanta, meaning that his defenses at New York are now greatly reduced (if he needs encouragement to sign a peace treaty). I airlifted a couple of units to Chicago and he eventually gave up there as well - he may be back, though: the city is still very exposed.

More serious was the appearance of a transport off the coast of the homeland - but only one, fortunately (he basically scragged our destroyers with a set of battleships :sad: ):


http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/1889/civ4warlords20070619105jj6.jpg


I attacked with two tanks, but lost both (at 89% and 97.5% odds :mad: ). Fortunately, I'd given them barrage promotions, so the stack was exterminated without much more trouble. However, I'm very concerned about the incredibly feeble defenses on the homeland in case he sends more transports.

Composites is done; I set a beeline to Robotics (mechs), but turned down science to get more money for upgrades - I think that takes priority.

Current state of the doomsday clock:

Great job scowler, you managed to capture more cities than I imagined possible in 5 turns.

I didn't noticed Hannibal capitulating to Mehmed ... it should be illegal for Civ A to capitulate to Civ B while involved in a war which Civ B is not a party of :gripe:

You wanna play more turns before I give it another spin, say this weekend?

Sure, I'll see if I can play a bit more in the next couple of days. (Cosmic, if you feel up to it, please don't hesitate to say if you want to grab the save before I do).

Hopefully by that time Mehmed will have lost his vassal and be willing to deal for peace. Then we really must concentrate on hamstringing Brennus and *his* vassal - somehow.

(Cosmic, if you feel up to it, please don't hesitate to say if you want to grab the save before I do).

Did you know something that I don't? AFAICT, Cosmic is lost. No post from him since end of April.

I chatted with him briefly on Skype a couple of days ago and got the impression that he was hoping to return in the near future. We'll see - I'll carry on as planned in the meantime.

Okay, I've played another 5 turns. Report and the save will be up shortly...

Turned science to 0% for a couple of turns: the war weariness meant that culture had to stay high so we weren't researching much anyway. Much better to have spare cash for emergency upgrades in case Mehmed decides to pay another visit.

Time to deal with the elephant-man:

...and with that, the Punic War came to an end. Hippo isn't sited well, but I didn't want to tempt Izzy or Brennus to send settlers down; also the city contains Notre Dame, which will provide some small relief from war weariness on this continent.

We also got another Great General from the battle: I haven't done anything with him yet, except to put him in Nidaros in case we want to airlift him somewhere.

In the previous set Mehmed threw away a stack of units against the walls of Atlanta, leaving New York only weakly defended. Now it is time for the counter-attack:

Another leader who has Chosen Unwisely.

By the end of the set Mehmed was still refusing to talk, but this victory, plus all the other units he has lost, should guarantee us favourable terms for peace. We could probably take out the Ottomans now without too many problems - the defences in the nearest three cities are similarly feeble, and we now have a pretty impressive stack lurking in New York - but we must start preparing for the more difficult war against Brennus.

With Hannibal gone I turned science back up and reduced culture to 0%. We are currently running deficit research (Computers due in 7) of around -120g (with about 4000 in the bank) - I assume some modern armor might be helpful? (esp. as Brennus doesn't have any yet)

Finally, no more spaceship parts have been built.

Nice job finishing off Hannibal and turning the table around on Mehmed. :goodjob:

Will play on Sunday .... of-course others are more than welcome to play their long overdue turns if they manage to find some free time from RL issues.

Is it premature to say Team VQ may pull out a loss/victory here after all?

The war continues on! :hammer:

Samsun falls:

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f81/9r3yf0x/sgotm02/vqsg4-AD1873-samsun.jpg

And I decided to sink the irritating Mehmed's battleship+destroyer, at the cost of 3 destroyers, but we prevailed.

We liberated Philadelphia, and finally Atlanta is connected back to the vast Viking Empire.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f81/9r3yf0x/sgotm02/vqsg4-AD1875-Philadelphia.jpg

We have worker idling, I started transporting them to our newly acquired continent.

We really shouldn't be fortifying our CR amphibious infantries guarding cities. Use other units for garrison duty instead, these arse-kicking units should be at the front lines!

After Philadelphia, I waited a while. Because the next city (Edrine) has tons of artilleries and SAM infantries (well, "tons" is a relative term. As far as Ottoman is concerned, I think the units stationed in Edrine constitute half of his total army).

Meanwhile, I missed the sneaky Indian's little incursion near our capital:

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f81/9r3yf0x/sgotm02/vqsg4-AD1874-gandhi-arty.jpg

It is of-course promptly dealt with as soon as I noticed it.

Computers is finally in:

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f81/9r3yf0x/sgotm02/vqsg4-AD1877-computers.jpg

I spent quite a fortune upgrading the tanks to MA and off we go. As expected, Ottoman unload a whole truckload of artillery shells on our landed forces. But, as I say, i expected that. I have one more trick up my sleeves. I purposely upgraded some tanks which has not receive any promotions to MAs. Although after the arty attack, they were significantly damages, a series of promotion to CRIII or barrage has them back to full health again :cooool:

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f81/9r3yf0x/sgotm02/vqsg4-AD1879-Erdine.jpg

So, there you go, our northern stack is ready to attack the city of Zapotec next turn.

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f81/9r3yf0x/sgotm02/vqsg4-AD1880-Zapotec.jpg

While the southern stack is still resting in Edrine. The CR amphibious infantries I can locate are slowly moving to the front lines. Make good use of them. I am also starting to re-accumulate our coffers I previously spent on the MAs; this is in anticipation of upgrading these CR infantries to Mech Inf.

The remaining forces of Mehmed are pretty thin ...

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f81/9r3yf0x/sgotm02/vqsg4-AD1880-Mehmed-forces.jpg

... so I don't expect to see Ottoman again the next time I play.

One piece of good news before I leave you with the save (http://gotm.civfanatics.net/saves/civ4sgotm4/VQ_SG004_AD1880_01.CivWarlordsSave):

Nice progress :hammer:

I took a look at the save; here are some thoughts:

Brennus still needs to build:
- Engine
- Docking Bay
- Life Support
- Stasis Chamber

As far as I can see he still needs to research:
- Fusion
- Ecology
- Refrigeration
- Genetics


http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/4685/civ4warlords20070625093ia2.jpg


He already has Robotics so he is most likely already building the Engine and/or Space Elevator. I didn't bother counting tiles to check whether he is allowed to produce the latter; let's assume he is, in which case we need to focus on his southern cities in our initial attack.

Next:

The remaining forces of Mehmed are pretty thin ...

... so I don't expect to see Ottoman again the next time I play.

I think that is optimistic because of this:


http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/7716/civ4warlords20070625093ep5.jpg


However, it's possible that this might be to our advantage.

I suggested in my previous report that we should not allow ourselves to get too distracted by Mehmed; that opinion still stands. I'm all too aware of the sands of time running out for us. I checked the diplomatic options:


http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/3227/civ4warlords20070625093tn6.jpg


Normally I would not want the burden of a vassal, but I wonder if in this case he might be of some use. Once we declare war on Brennus, Mehmed will be forced to do the same and the remaining Ottoman territory will provide a buffer zone between us and Izzy/Brennus, allowing us rapid movement but slowing down advancing enemy land forces and acting as a possible lightning rod for attacks. The downside of course is that in his weakened state Mehmed is more vulnerable: he and Izzy currently have approx. the same power rating, but if Brennus sends troops down he can take over those cities with ease and be on our doorstep. On the other hand, any troops he sends south will then not be guarding his cities - and we really need him to dilute his defences if possible! ...


http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/1188/civ4warlords20070625094my9.jpg



Secondly, Konya would provide us with a temporary advance base of our own - we could conceivably airlift some units in for a surprise attack on (probably?) Bagacum.


http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/5175/civ4warlords20070625094dw0.jpg


Ideally this would be coordinated with a major naval strike on his west coast to split his defenders.

I think it might be more worthwhile spending some time setting this up rather than using those turns wiping out the Ottomans when there is no pressing reason. But I suspect I've probably overlooked something obvious in all this... *waits to be shot down in flames* :please:

Actually... unless the negative for taking on a vassal causes Izzy/Brennus to declare right away, I think you have a good plan working itself up there.

I do wonder if we would want to take on Konya though... if he's our vassal, can we airlift into that city?

I couldn't think of a good reason why we shouldn't go along with your plan ... pretty good thinking, scowler! :goodjob:

Okay, good.

If I have time I'll try to play this today, but it depends how tired I am. Work has been a bit busy the last couple of days. However, since GreyFox is currently on auto-skip and nobody else is around to play I'm guessing this won't be too critical?

Nah, you're the man!

I'll see about picking it up after you play this weekend. Looks like I may get a reprieve from RL in the coming days and be able to contribute play time once again.

So umm....Scowler are you going to play or should I pick it up and run?

I say go ahead, bobrath, whenever you can play.

--

I'll be playing in about 8 hours then and will post after that.


(GOT IT)

Dirty (ie not many fun pictures) writeup:

I took the offered capitulation with Mehmed - he wouldn't give up any other tech or city besides Konya... in hind sight, leave it to him since we got swallowed by spainish culture right away. SIGH

Made two quick trades with Izzy for her extra gpt and a happy resource. She is now pleased with us.

Ghandi did land a small party on our second continent (N of Hippo) it was a single WE and two SAMs. They were dealt with, but only after our wheat got pillaged. Ah well. I have the majority of our workers doing railroading on the second continent to improve movement of units to the future front.

Brennus built the 3GD in 1883, but no other wonders.

I did make one other trade with Mehmed, giving up computers in exchange for Communism and Divine Right (best I could do). Did this just so that we can build Scotland Yard (course that's still 13 turns out... :grumble: ).

Next player should feel free to declare soon. I have three main groups ready to go:
On the west side of the second continent (sc from now on), there is a large naval group. I'd suggest sailing it due NW upon declaration to take out the Aluminum below Durnovia.
On the east side of sc a second large naval group is within striking range of Mauryan where the entire transport fleet of Brennus is at anchor. Taking it out in the first turn of the war will go a long way to protecting our backsides. (Izzy has no fleet to speak of)
The final army is ready in Konya and can either strike deep into Brennus OR make a major headache for his vassal Izzy. This force is weak on gunships, so plan accordingly.

I have marked all aluminum and uranium within B/I's borders. I assume a primary goal will be to remove those mines asap with either bombardment by air OR ground occupation. This should help slow down/stop any further spaceship production.

After Robotics completed, I set research to Biology - mainly with the intent of picking up Refrigeration after that for the bonus to sea movement.

Assuming the war with Brennus starts going well, I'd like to see us start giving up some of our northern continent to Ghandi... He has Apollo, but seriously needs room to produce and grow. Wait until we've broken Brennus tho, as our best producers are up north!

The Save (http://gotm.civfanatics.net/saves/civ4sgotm4/VQ_SG004_AD1890_01.CivWarlordsSave)

Sounds like the preparations have been going well. I should have a bit of free time this afternoon so I'll take a look at the save then and add some more comments if necessary. If nothing seems to warrant further discussion I'll probably play some turns tonight or during tomorrow, as time dictates.

Phew!

I was beginning to think I had played so poorly that no one was even able to comment or speak!

In hindsight, I might have been better off completing the capture of one more of Mehmed's cities and then taken his capitulation. I'm guessing he'd have been even more giving AND the cultural borders would have been more tolerable. Ah well.

We are indeed set up for an invasion soon. I doubt the spying will be effective anytime soon - aside from perhaps to keep tabs on Ghandi. In which case... we might want to consider changing Scotland yard from being built on the first continent to being built on the second.

Random other thought - if we start giving up land to Ghandi, we need to keep an eye on the relative land percentages with any vassal's we pick up - wouldn't want to suddenly lose one or two. I do think that if we do not wipe out Izzy/Brennus that we need to seriously consider vassalizing them so that we can attempt to control their war like urges.

SO, any progress, Scowler?

SO, any progress, Scowler?

Well, that depends on how you define "progress" :mischief:

I've only played 5 turns so far as things got a little . . . er . . . "eventful" :eek:

Once Biology came in I selected Refrigeration for the extra naval movement point, but turned off science anyway: it was more important to upgrade our troops (e.g. bombers to stealths, longbows to mechs, etc.)

I finally pushed the button on turn 3. I was hoping the the borders at Konya might expand a bit and offer a quicker path to one of the southern Celtic cities but it didn't happen - and in any case it made no difference to what happened next. I couldn't wait any longer as any futher delay would have only allowed Brennus to build up his army still further and it was obvious that his defences were already formidable.

So I declared on Brennus and Izzy, and Mehmed dutifully followed suit. My plan was to attack Toledo and Mauryan simultaneously, crushing the defenses with the sea units and then softening up the defenders with air support from Konya.

Well, that was the plan.

The first part went smoothly enough: both cities down to 0% defense without any effort. Unfortunately we then had some bad luck with the air strikes. It quickly became obvious that we would suffer an unacceptable attrition rate if we concentrated on Mauryan (actually the more important city due to the large fleet still in harbour), so I directed the remainder at Toledo.


http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/4890/civ4warlords20070711143sa7.jpg


I razed it. I don't think we had any option; there was no way we could have defended successfully against a counter-attack and having Brennus retake the city would have been the worst possible outcome.

As for Mauryan, once it became obvious that we wouldn't be able to take the city in an amphibious assault I landed the troops for a more traditional approach. Bad move. I should have kept them at sea and looked for an alternative city with fewer defenses. Unfortunately I couldn't see any within range, and I didn't want to stray too far away so I could keep an eye on the fleet. Besides I was hoping that Brennus's attention would be taken up in the south (Konya) and west (Toledo) leaving him unable to mount a significant strike (we had 14 units, dammit!).

So I fortified our units at Konya, hit turn and prayed ...

... and boy, did I see an epic battle :eek:

In retrospect, I think we seriously underestimated the number of units Brennus was able to field; on the other hand, if we had continued the build-up for another 10 turns I don't think we would have achieved any better results.

The troops outside Mauryan were routed and slunk back on board the waiting fleet with tails between their legs.


http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/5488/civ4warlords20070711150ie7.jpg


I anticipated Konya being something of a lightning rod, but things went beyond my wildest dreams. The enemy assault seemed to go on forever, but I think Brennus and Izzy lost more units than we did. So I promoted the wounded units as far as possible, trying to anticipate the best promotions for the next battle and healed/fortified. I was actually feeling reasonable confident and used the bombers and fighters on the remaining units nearby to discourage further offensive action - but the next battle went far worse for us, and sadly . . .


http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/8775/civ4warlords20070711153iz8.jpg


So we've now lost a good chunk of our army and all our bombers :sad:

And if that wasn't enough:


http://img468.imageshack.us/img468/3637/civ4warlords20070711153hc8.jpg

:gripe:

So much for my grand plan. Maybe it would have been better to conquer Mehmed completely and leave Konya alone after all... :sad:

The only positive news: I sent the western fleet further round the Celtic continent and was able to find another weakly defended city:


http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/8489/civ4warlords20070711152ab2.jpg


Again, razing was really the only option. I can only hope that the loss of these two cities has inconvenienced the Celtic space programme a little. I'm not sure what else we can do for the time being.
