City Current queue

Almaren temple (25), worker (10)
Amphi temple (44)
Avon Nova settler (16), worker (10)
Berlingueria harbor (67),
Desolatem settler (18), worker (10)
Finklewink settler (13), worker (10)

I further propose and request:

1) the bank in Desolatem be sold and the temple in Almaren rushed on turn 5 for 80g;

2) the worker recruited in Sandy be used to irrigate the mines in Norwich;

3) any settlers recruited be resettled in more productive cites outside Norwich.

Military garrisons -

1 - In our mainland, bring 6 infantry into Raven's Flight, and load them into galleons. Move the galleons SW into Audiac city, and unload the infantry. There will be 3 infantries each helping to protect the cav/arty stacks for Egypt. I'd like 5 each by the time we attack Egypt.

2 - In our mainland, spread our the remaning infantry along our coastal cities, especially along our west coast.

3 - Upgrade 2 galleons every 2 turns after we research Combustion if the DFL approves it.

4 - If you see any Egyptian or Greek galleys approaching our coast, feel free to reinforce those areas. There's an elite warrior that could knock off a longbow should one land.

Greek War Plans

General attack plan: (note, the map is slightly outdated, from a prior turnchat)

A previous scout (cav) when I had the turnchat revealed a musket in Sparta. Bombard Sparta's

musket until it's 1hp. Also bombard the knights around Thermopylae, and in the city if

there's any artillery left.

Phase 1 - Blue (note, if there's a regular hoplite, attack it with a vet cav if we're

running low on elites).

1st target - Sparta. Bombard the musket, and attack with at most, 2 elites (we have enough

for 2 elites per city, and then some).

2nd target - Mycenae. Attack with, at most, 2 elites.

3rd target - Thermopylae. Bombard the knight SE of the city, and attack it with an elite.

Attack the city with elites (1-2 at most) and vets.

4th target - Herakleia. Attack with elites, and bombard if possible.

(Note: Any workers captured during this time should build rails 2 west, and 2 south of

Audiac).

Move the cav army to the tile 1 north of Argos. Move 2 cav units along with the army.
Move atleast 4 cavs to tile 2 east of Corinth.
Move any remaining cavs (if we have atleast 3-4) to the hill 2 SE of Knossos.

(remember, this screenshot is outdated, as I started on these warplans before the last

turnchat was completed).

Phase 2 - Red

Please bring atleast 12-20 native workers (or their equivalent) to build rails directly to

Argos.

1st Target - Knossos. With the 3-4 cavs in place, attack Knossos (using elites first).

2nd Target - Corinth. Attack with elites first, then vets.

3rd Target - Argos. Attack with elites first, then vets.

After these targets are met, scout Athens (i.e., move a cav on the hill, and stay there). If

it has hoplites, go for it. If it has muskets, wait for reinforcements. I'd like to be able

to bombard this city, but if we have enough troops (8 cavs with movement points left), then

attack the city.

4th Target - Athens only if we have enough troops ready, and health enough to fight).

Phase 3 - Yellow

pre-Target - Athens. If we chose to wait a turn, and complete the rail to Argos, shell the

city, and attack it.

1st Target - Delphi. Attack it with elites, and cavs. Bombard if needed.

2nd Target - Ephesus. (new instruction) Ignore this city, we will get it along with the Egyptian cities.

For the next war against Egypt (should we attack them), build rails to the closest points to the Egyptian cities. The Greek war should only take a total of the preturn, and 2 more turns. It will be over on turn 2. (probably when they get out of anarchy).

Greek Battle Plans (http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_AD1430_Greece_map.jpg)

============================================

Egyptian War Plans

For this war, I'd like to have 11 more artillery, for a total of 30 (15 in 2 stacks). I'd also like a continued build of infantry, and cavalry.

This calls for:

30 artillery (15 in 2 stacks).
40 cavalry (20 in 2 stacks).
10 infantry (5 in each stack).

At best, the war will take 6 turns. At worst, it may take 10 turns, or more. We may or may not have the luxury of building tanks by the time this war is over, much less even a handful for the last few Egyptian cities.

The timeline is this:

- Take out most of Greece by turn 2.

- Turn 3, and 4, build up the railnetwork, heal and assemble our troops.

- Turn 5, start to head for Egyptian cities.

We can either wait until turn 7 before Knossos expands (turn 6 if we rush a temple), or declare war, and head to the green dots with our infantry/cav/arty/worker stack. The object here is to get onto the Egyptian Railnet ASAP.

The workers will continue to build the railnet in southern Egypt. After that, the workers can head back home, save for a set of rails in Giza (unless it's already railed).

The attacks will be based on this:

Send the infantry/artillery stack to the closest point at which it can bombard. In most cases, this means waiting the extra turn. Bombard, and then attack. If the Egyptian cities are filled with regular pikes, then we could be a bit more bold with our cavs. If they're on hills (as are Mephis, Lisht, Asyut, and Bursiris, use the artillery). Always bombard Muskets and Riflemen. Then, send in the cavalry. If we can bombard any more cities the next turn with unused artillery, then do so. Egypt already has 85% of their railnet in place.

Egyptian War Plan (http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_AD1430_egypt_warplan.jpg)

*NOTE* There's an Egyptian city on the ice island. If it doesn't expand already by the time we declare war, wait for it to expand, and then attack it. We have some cavs down there for that purpose. It may even build a harbor and then settlers to build 1-2 more cities on the island. 3 would make it a nice icy province though. Also, any city we take, please turn all citizens into taxmen until the resistence ends. This will prevent those cities from rioting when they do end.

1430 AD TC Instructions:

Research in the order:
Combustion (4 turns)
The go after Motorized Transportation (We want tanks..:D)

Slider
Lux -> 0%, Science -> 80%, Tax -> 20%.
We learn Combustion in 4 turns. If the DP can lower the Science slider, but still get the tech in the same amount of turns, instructions are to lower the science slider to that amount.
If tax goes below 0 gpt, instructions are to decrease the science-slider to get a positive gpt. Optimise the slider to get the science in the fastest possible time, while maximizing our tax-output.

Fight unhappyness with entertainers and luxuries first. If the DP feels the time has come to increase the lux-slider, please consider that that will cost us 120 gpt. I don't forbid it, but I advise against it. Be very careful with it. I also realise that "Girls just wanna have fun", but don't overdo it !

----------------------------------------------

Finance
Approved spending:

Province of Nihilon
- cashrush of a Courthouse in the preturn in the city of Wyfurd for 32 gold.

Province of Norwich
- cashrush the temple in Almaren on turn 5. The cost at that time should be 80g.

Galleon to Transport - upgrade
- If we have 1000+ gold or 200+ gpt when we learn Combustion: upgrade of 2 galleons a turn.
- If we have 500+ gold or 100+ gpt when we learn Combustion: upgrade of 1 galleon a turn.
- If we have less than 500 gold and less than 100 gpt when we learn Combustion: upgrade 1 galleon every other turn.

If our financial situation (after Galleon-upgrading) is such that we have 1000+ gold and +X gpt. , the DP is allowed to cashrush to her liking, as long as the treasury won't go below (1000-X) gold.
(next turn we do need 1000 gold again).

----------------------------------------------

Worker actions

Ship 20 Native or 20 non-native or an equivalent mix of native/non-native workers to Audiac.
These are to build railroads in "soon-to-be-former-Greek" lands to aid our troops.

Please don't use <shift-A> or <Shift-I>, control the workers manually.
Unite the workers. If worker "A" has finished his task, see if he can imediately help worker "B" if that worker is still busy and on a reachable tile (roaded or railroaded).
If a worker(group) is on an non-roaded, non-railroaded, non-forest, non-jungle-tile -> start with (rail)roading; that way more workers can join the task there.

Priorities:
1 - Shipment of 20 Native or 20 non-native or an equivalent mix of native/non-native workers to the city of Audiac.
2 - Improvement of Capital and FP-area.
3 - Clearing jungles and forests to build railroads and mines near non-corrupt cities.
4 - Irrigation and railroading of far away lands (such as Norwich Province, former India and former Germany).

In general focus on shields in the non-corrupt areas and food in the corrupt areas. Railroads are to be put everywhere as well, of course.

Have fun, girl !

Chat Log part 1 (http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_AD1430_TurnchatLog_Pt1.zip)

I'll put up screenshots and a summary tomorrow

Turn 5 - 1455AD (http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_AD1455_turn5.zip)

Rails are connected to Egypt, but they have riflemen! Our arties will do. Also, Shakespeare's has been started in Vandelay!!! (Turn 13 anyone?)

Turn 6 (http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_AD1460.zip)

There's some nice tech trades available. Also, queues are dropping like flies, and we're nearly done with our build up. Also, Egypt has rifles now.


Chatlogs (http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_turnchatlog_may5th.zip)

There's an army next to an Egyptian city. It's merely spying on the city to see what's inside. It will move back to the city next turn.

thank you CT for tidying up after me and finishing the chat. That sounds like a good place to stop, trades to decide on and poised for Egypt!

I'm doing the Summary now, and will start posting it soon, hopefully I'll be a bit quicker setting up next time!

A Marathon through Greece!

This turn chat had a simple enough task, wipe out Greece, and start on Egypt. As my first session as DP I expected to be slow, I didn’t expect to take nearly 10 hours to do 3 turns!

1430 AD – Preturn

Our starting position:
http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_AD1430_MiniMap1.jpg

Set the queues according to Instructions (I hope) including the change to Wall street in Vandelay, wasting 382 shields.

Trade Electricity for Spices, WM and 11g with Aztecs, then the Zulu deal for coal. The best I could get in the second deal was 21gpt instead of 25gpt. The T&T Minister had anticipated that would be the case, so the deal was done.

See preturn-prewar save

We declare War on Greece!

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_AD1430_WarDeclaration.jpg

We move our Artillery to bombard the Musket in Sparta. We bombard and bombard to absolutely no effect. The musket just sits there. To break the sequence we try bombarding a knight by Thermoplylae, that works, and we finish it off with a veteran Cavalry, capturing some workers. Back to Sparta – we finally hit the musket, then killed some of the citizens, then the library. We attack the stubborn musket with an Elite Cavalry which dies valiantly, redlining the Musket. We bombard again redlining 2 Regular Hoplites, we attack with Cavs, losing one, but finally take Sparta – probably the hardest battle of the War!

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_AD1430_Sparta.jpg

We move on to Mycenae, guarded by 2 Regular Hoplites, We attack and take Mycenae with only 2 Cavalry!

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_AD1430_Mycenae.jpg

Thermopylae was next on the list, defended by this time 3 Regular Hoplites (although we later found the city had a Barracks – or was that bar-racks?), We lose one Cavalry, but take the city! We clear up the Greek knights around Thermopylae (with the help of our Ironclads), and spy a Cavalry just outside the city. The newly integrated ex Greek foreign workers start the first railroad in Greece, then we realise that all the workers on our continent have moved or are occupied – so not much rail building until next turn.

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_AD1430_Thermopylae.jpg

On to Herakleia. This time defended by a Regular Musket and Hoplite. We bombard with all but the last remaining Artillery, redlining the Musket, but not hurting the Hoplite. The Cavalry saves the day (again) and although we lose one, we take city number 4!

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_AD1430_Herakleia.jpg

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_AD1430_WarStage1.jpg

Pharsolos was next in line. We spot a Regular Hoplite defending, defeat it with Elite Cavalry, revealing another. A slight detour to take out the sole Greek Cavalry near Thermopylae, then attack the remaining Hoplite with Elite Cavalry. Still no leader, but we capture Pharsolos!

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_AD1430_Pharsalos.jpg

A bit of tidying up, stray knights taken out, workers captured… and Thermopylae is connected to our railnet! We can’t reach any more cities, we have jungle to go through. Some workers are moved to extend the road/rail net ready for net turn and our troops are moved towards Delphi, Argos and Knossos.

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_AD1430_WarStage2.jpg

End of turn 0 – 593 gold, 341gpt, Combustion in 4 turns, 5 hours into the turnchat!.

1435 AD - Turn 1

In between, a Greek knight appears by Knossos, and that’s the Greek counterattack for the turn.

We build Wall Street in Vandalay!

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_AD1435_Wall_Street.jpg

The outstanding German city and the captured Greek cities are renamed:
Salzburg -> Gloucester
Spart -> Dragons
Mycenae -> Guarn
Thermopylae -> Waco
Herakleia -> Dublinia
Pharsalos -> Houston

Worker stream across from our home continent to the newly captured lands, and join our new cities to our railnet – all those captured last term are railed in before we attack further! We rail to the edge of our territory and attack Knossos.

Knossos is defended, surprise, surprise by a Regular Hoplite, quickly dispatched by an Elite Cavalry, another takes it places, defeated by another Cavalry. Knossos falls and is renamed Obedoo Benubi! The knight by Knossos is defeated by a Cavalry – no further counterattack becomes visible.

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_AD1435_Knossos.jpg

On to Argos, the inevitable regular Hoplite stands little chance against our Cavalry Army and is killed, barely denting the Army. It attacks again, another Regular Hoplite, but this one is tough, and the Army loses half its hit points before capturing Argos (now Chippewa).

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_AD1435_Argos.jpg

Corinth, again only guarded by 2 Regular Hoplite, falls quickly to our Elite Cavalry and is renamed The domain of Cal. No Cavalry are lost, although both are injured.

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_AD1435_Corinth.jpg

But we can’t reach Athens, all routes in are cut off by jungle. The one Elite Cavalry that can reach captures some workers and sets them to work, but we still can’t reach. More workers move in to road the jungle – next time we’ll get it!

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_AD1435_WarStage3.jpg

7 hours on and Turn 1 is finished. We have 934 gold, 501gpt, Combustion in 3

1440 AD - Turn 2

In between the Zulus want to trade World Maps, but we don’t. A Greek Longbowman heads towards Athens from Delphi, and Resistance ends in Dragons, Waco, Obedoo and Guarn (Sparta, Thermopylae, Knossos and Mycenae).

Our industrious workers soon complete the rail to our border by Athens, and we attack! An Elite Cavalry defeats a Veteran Hoplite (the first we’ve seen), revealing a Regular Musket. We attack again, welcome our Great Leader – De Gaulle, and rename the Cavalry Conqueror of Athens. De Gaulle returns to Audia and builds an Army.

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_AD1440_GL.jpg

We attack again, the Conqueror of Athens hadn’t actually conquered Athens!, but the Giant Stickman did. (The Giant Stickman gave us our 2nd Great Leader last term)

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_AD1440_Athens.jpg

Our workers rail to our borders yet again and we go for Delphi. Our Artillery Bombards the Longbow and redlines it, and our Elite Warrior finishes the job, but no Great Leader. Delphi falls and is renamed Oscar Meyerville, the inevitable 2 Regular Hoplites falling to 2 Veteran Cavalry.

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_AD1440_Delphi.jpg

Euphesus was more difficult. Our workers roaded as far as they could reach, but only 3 Cavalry, 2 elite could cross the Egyptian territory into reach of the final Greek City. Cleopatra now has Communism, but now was not the time to trade. Obedoo’s Temple was rushed for 236 gold.

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_AD1440_WarStage4.jpg

End of turn 2, approaching 9 hours, Combustion in 2, 1203 gold, 501gpt

1445 AD – Turn 3

In between – We build the Military Academy in Groton!

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_AD1445_MilitaryAcademy.jpg

We move to Euphesus and attack the Regula Hoplite with an Elite Cavalry, and win! We renamed our victorious unit Double Trouble as the creator of the second Great Leader of the chat. Charlemagne though was stuck in Egyptian territory. But not for long. Our second elite Cavalry defeated the final Regular Hoplite. Euphesus was ours. And the Greeks were no more.

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_AD1445_GL.jpg

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_AD1445_Ephesus.jpg

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/DG4_AD1445_GreeceDefeat.jpg

It had taken 9¾ hours.

CT took up the save. I needed sleep!

Charlemagne formed another Army and Euphesus was renamed Rejkavick. Our workers expanded the Greek railnet.

End of turn 3, Combustion in 1 (60%), 1708 gold, 611gpt

Turn 4, 1450 AD

We research Combustion, and commence Mass Production – 4 turns at 80% science.
Our people want to build the Pentagon!
Resistance is ending in all the former Greek cities, and we love the Civver day breaks out across Fanatica!
Pollution appears in fanatica :(, near Ville de Buisson, 2 Galleons are upgraded to transports. Everywhere except Rejkavick.

End of turn 4, Mass Production in 4 (80% science), 1527 gold, 353gpt.

Turn 5, 1450 AD

Persia has Free Artistry! We trade our newly acquired incense for Free Artistry, WM, 120g, 9gpt and switch Vandelay to Shakespeare’s Theatre (due in 8).

End of Turn 5, Mass Production in 4 (80% science) 1840gold, 187gpt

Turn 6, 1455 AD

Persia, Aztecs and English are building Shakespeare’s Theatre!
