DP: Methos (No listed backups)

This will be an online session.

Requests:
Any changes to instructions should be edited into your originally posted instruction post. When I play I use tabbed browsing for each officials posts, so if you add additional or modified instructions in another post it will get missed.
If possible use screenshots for citizen allocation. This makes it a lot easier to understand than text.
Unit movement is best described to me using letters (N, E, NE, etc.). Something as simple as Worker #1 N-N-NW begin mine is just great.
Worker instructions in the same section.
If possible, instructions by turn#.


Notice: I have a 4.5 month old daughter and I watch her during the day. I plan on having her changed/fed prior to the game, but those of you with, or who have had kids know, that doesn't always mean squat. Therefore there may be times during the session where I have to step away for a bit. I apologize if this is an inconvenience.

warlords Instructions

Right now our military is:

2 archers, 10 longbow;
4 chariots, 5 keshiks, 13 knights;
3 warriors, 7 axe, 22 mace, 2 spear, 6 pike, 14 cats, 3 musket;
2 caravel, 2 galleon.

Under build:

2 rifle, 2 mace, 4 galleon.

Definition: I consider "obsolete units" as promotions with Shock and Cover, and to a small extent Formations.


UPGRADES

Upgrade only 3 promotion units first (macemen and axemen to riflemen, but not the units 1-2 XP away from the next promotion, only promote units with combat, city raider, medic - for keshiks also flanker and move)

GARRISONS:

22 cities, 22 units

Only warriors, spearmen and archer units for inland city garrison duty (7)
Only promoted city garrison longbowmen for coast and border city duties (10)
Only promoted muskets (3) for coast and border city duties (3)
The 2 new Riflemen being built promoted to double city garrison and to garrison the cities they stand in.

STACK COMBAT READINESS

Even if the stacks are only 75 % or more, as long as all catapults are in, start the war, the reinforcements can tag along as the catapults do their work on the defenses.


COMBATS

Naval Combats, put all Galleons in a stack, choose combat promotion for all and attack the Roman Fleet on the West Coast.

DORTMUND

Sacrifice obsolete units with only 2 promotions or less first, then score kills
(67 % odds or more) with highly promoted units with high XP and relevant promotions for future operations (City Raider, Medic, Combat).

10 Knights sent towards Dortmund

HAMBURG

Sacrifice obsolete units with only 2 promotions or less first, then score kills
(67 % odds or more) with highly promoted units with high XP and relevant promotions for future operations (City Raider, Medic, Combat).

5 Catapults
2 Pikes
5 Keshiks
2 Knights
8 Macemen

ANTIUM

Sacrifice obsolete units with only 2 promotions or less first, then score kills
(67 % odds or more) with highly promoted units with high XP and relevant promotions for future operations (City Raider, Medic, Combat).

5 Catapults
2 Pikes
14 Macemen

ARPINIUM

4 Catapults
4 Chariots
7 Axe
2 Pikes
1 Knight

The new Macemen (2) being built are sent here.


OPTIONAL TARGET: RAVENNA

Given successful outcomes in DORTMUND and HAMBURG

Given we can conquer Ravenna within 12 turns (extend the turnchat 2 turns if possible just to get Ravenna).

Send the following from these cities:

Undamaged infantry units not required for garrison/pacification work towards Ravenna, plus all catapults (undamaged or not) towards Ravenna.

Undamaged cavalry units are sent into future Roman Territory (Rome, optionally Ravenna) to attack units on sight and to plunder all their tiles.

VERY VERY IMPORTANT

Only future type promotions are wanted, city garrison for defense infantry units (longbowmen), city raiders for attack infantry units (macemen and riflemen). Pikemen should have Formation and Medic Promotions.
Knights should get Pinch for the Dortmund Catapults and other relevant promotions.

The workers in Clam Cove build a workshop over the cottage and road it
(N from their position) then farm and road the plains; then, build a road to
meet road from EA.


Good luck!

With obsolete, I mean promotions SHOCK, COVER and FORMATION.

As I've posted in my office thread I'm having some serious technical difficulties and am looking for someone to replace me for the remainer of the term as I won't be able to re-install the game untill mid october, when I go home for a weekend and will have access to the disk.

As I haven't found a replacement yet I'll only give one instruction to you and leave the rest of the Aimag to your discretion. Build a path of irrigation from Neapolis down to the southern cities, destroy the watermill north-east of the city in order to gain a water supply for the irrigation chain. Also build a lumbermill on the forest south of Neapolis to compensate for the loss in production from that watermill. Here's a picture that may help, follow the dark blue circles not the greenish ones, that plan didn't work out.

Trade: Sell wine to the Incas for 10gpt.

Tech trades in our favor or within 300 beakers of being equal may be accepted at the DP's discretion if we don't give away a monopoly tech in the deal.

Deny any demands by other civs.

If any settlers are built, settle coastal areas with resources starting from the SE going north. The first location is "city 1" from this map. http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/3420/settlement1hg9.th.jpg

Stop if anyone other than Rome declares war on us.

Upgrade / promote and move troops into position to attack the locations identified by the Warlord. Declare war on Rome and invade when troops are prepared to enter Roman territory.

Quoted from the recent post in my office:

Good news, my computer has been fixed. However, Civ wasn't recovered and I have to dig up the vanilla disc again. Man, I don't know where it is. Hopefully, I can locate the disc and reinstall it before the next TC.

As I have no access to the save, I will have to refer to my last TC's instructions post.

The previous turnchat's (DaveShack) instructions:



Coppertown

Build Queue: Units requested by Warlord (catapults) and/or up to DP's discretion.

Rheims

Build Queue: Observatory -> University

After that, everything else is up to DP.


Lyons

Build Queue: Observatory -> University -> Confucian Monastery

After that, everything else is up to DP.

Orleans

Build Queue: Buddhist Temple -> Confucian Monastery -> Buddhist Monastery

After that, everything else is up to DP.

Paris

Build Queue: Colosseum -> Barracks

After that, everything else is up to DP, though please build units/workers if they are required.

You have the freedom to allocate city tiles and specialists for all cities.

Generally, build lumbermills on all forests tiles in the radius of cities.

1400 GMT and 900 CST is not the same time.

1400 GMT = 8 AM CST

i think you meant to say CDT

whoops dp asdfsdfasdfasdf

1400 GMT and 900 CST is not the same time.

Should have been CDT than, grr. The 1400 GMT was correct at least. ;)

Loading the game now.

Any chance another DP could take this? Our daughter is very fussy today and I'm unable to play. I think I woke her up a bit early in my attempt to get her ready for my GPIT. Any available DP's?

BTW, already checked with the wife about tomorrow if she could watch her while I play, but apparently we have plans.

Not a DP, but I don't have a soccermatch tomorrow, so if you want, I could play it

Please Dutch go ahead.

I can't pick it up right now, have to go to work. Tomorrow morning I'm coaching soccer (football) but I could play tomorrow night. If we allowed a backup DP to play 14 hours later, I could play at 10 tonight.

In the chat it was suggested that players who declined nominations to DP Pool because they didn't want a dual install should post their interest in the pool thread.

Historical note:
In the past, some DPs have gone ahead and played without prepping the kids. It's perfectly OK to take breaks during the session for bottle preparation, diaper changes, and other baby related activities. :D

hopefully when it does happen it can be an online session.
