SGOTM 16 - Plastic Ducks

Definitely. However, I have to go to my niece's birthday party in an hour so I'll start playing tonight (maybe 6~7 hours from now?).

In the meantime, I'll think some more about the game and everyone is free to chime in.
 
I was having some internet problems for the last half hour... here's the progress so far.

Akkad - no losses. EP going to Qin now.
Spoiler :




Ram still wants a piece of us??? Should I delay the 2 galleons with units to defend Thebes? Or attack the stack, pull back?
Spoiler :


A GS from Paris...
Spoiler :
 
So 5 units are going for Thebis, how many left in Alex?

I think we have to send a couple of musks to defend Thebes. Another possibility is that those units might attack our stack, so it's better to hold on attack till next turn

We should hire other specialists than scientists in GP farms.

Edit: In fact, it's good to send all the muskeers in galleons to Thebes since they can still attack Alex immediately.
 
2 Maces, 2 LBs, 1 Chariot + 2 LBs incoming.

If they attack, it'd be better to be on the hill + upgrade to C1. If they move ahead, I'll unload the troops in Heliopolis and send them to defend in Thebes.

Yea... can't use more scientists for now. I'm thinking Merchants in Amiens and Artists for Marseilles. Not ideal (Artists) but we can't gamble too much.
 
I believe 2 cannons will come to defend 1st, so there's not much danger of that stack, we can just bombard and the rest defend in place. Promote a couple of musk to CI.

Merchants and Eng are fine since there's lots of chance of popping GAs.
 
We got all Hammy's cities that we wanted. Cap? Ram suicided and left our Cannons at rough odds to take Alexandria, so I diverted some of the galleon troops.
Spoiler :



 
Hehe, the reason why we wanted to cap Hammy as soon as possible was that we wanted his techs of Guild and Banking. The situation changes now, our galleons are still on the way, so that the war with Qin or SB is not ready yet. Shall we take some more cities? Tao cities.
 
Yes, galleons are on the way, they'd have to turn back to pick up troops.

I don't mind taking a few extra cities while they're waiting anyway...
 
Why those galleons need to come back? they need to go to west of Sipp. The troops from Nip can march north themselves.

Hmm, you indeed don't have good luck, try to produce 2 more GPs in this GA?
 
Not going to be possible. I'm already stretching it to get GPs ASAP (i.e. starving).

Best we can do is pray for the next GP in 2 turns. After that, we have to wait a few turns out of GA...

Re-launching game after saving+closing - too slow; I'm finishing Biology this turn.
 
Anything else we can do with the extra scientist?

> Bulbing: gains 1 turn of research on something
> Academy in Orleans might be best
 
If there's no more GS in the future, this GS can still be used for GA. Otherwise, bulb the Electricity line is the best choice.
