Some people would advocate saving chops for GL or Colossus. There was previous talk of a more peaceful game. But if the plan is back to chop and whip, in this case to outgrow Hatty and kill her, that is different of course.
I hadn't expected RL to get in the way, but that's what I was dealing with the last few days.
Thanks for all the feedback. I've gone ahead and rolled a second start which actually does have far better production potential along with a wet corn. I'm thinking I'd prefer to go with this one...
The second game on Emperor.
As the name implies, we are Willem (creative, financial) on a standard size archapelago. Low sea level, no huts or events.
A very seafood intense start.
25t...
25t
I was finished vassalizing Shaka when I got to thinking that 29 turns wasn't too far from 25. So not that bad. Really...
Hey
Wait a minute...
He doesn't mean win the game, does he???
I had to ask...
When the answer came, I could only ask myself What game is he watching?
Now...
sampsa, how many times do I have to tell you to stop overestimating me. It took 60.
29t to vassal Shaka, 6t for Pacal and 8t for Charlie.
Unfortunately I have no time for a review of what happened right now, but will get to it a little later.
Well the Zulu war is on. Turn 158. He hadn't plotted but we kicked it off anyways.
The Zulu stack in the west took a roundabout route to the north. I was hoping to catch it in the open but it took more time than I wanted so just declared and hoped he would suicide the stack. Two turns later...
I'm happy to explain these excess units as I didn't go into a lot of detail as to what the greater plan was, specifically at the start of the Arab War.
First off, our lands are pretty much an east-west orientation. Kind of like the latter-day Roman Empire. The distance from one end to the...
If 3 cities or so switch to wealth, we go back to a positive cash flow.
Something else I haven't done enough of, which is begging. Pacal gave us sailing and Charlie gave us monotheism. What fine fellows!
100% on learning the habit. I seldom do it and am missing out on too many opportunities.
2nd one just popped. Great Spy. We already did the GA. I mentioned that when we did so, went to HR when we traded for Monarchy.
Arabs are gone quickly as those last two cities weren't heavily defended...
Went north to shadow Shaka's stack. If at all possible, he walks away from this war with nothing. Arabs down to 2 cities. Pillaging some tiles.
@sampsa 6 cats now, 6 more in queue.
