Pharaoh

So who's up?

Metahu will report in before too long hopefully.

Wen amon hasn't had a run at the enemy for a while, as hasn't Cabledawg.

As Wen amon died valiantly in the last war, I'd like to see his offspring take on the next conflagration.

We need the go-ahead of the current ruler.
 
Yea, looks like 'Wen' to me. Metahu still has food poisoning by the looks of things.

It's understandable, but I would like to kick he game along a bit so we dont all forget why we are trying to destroy everyone else on this land mass.
The glory of Eygpt.
 
Look, the personal life of your king right now is a mess(not necessarily bad, just a mess. I don't even think I could log on in the forum yesterday, even if I wanted) and he is going somewhere far and lonely(AKA some small isle) for meditation. I would suggest the next War General to be Mice, and he starts already from the peace time because your king has no time now.



In truth, I probably have time tomorrow, but just not today. So if Mice wants to play today and also go to war, please do.

Sorry people, really sorry! Hope next week it is all +- back to normal!
 
OK thanks Alborn. Good luck sorting out the mess. (I know about mess too)

I'll put the cities in order tonight if poss and move towards war, but not before the horses come online. And ask for advice the war before an attack.

So Gillgamesh it is.
 
City config;
Wen amon ; the farm stayed, Osiris on maoi,
Moscow will configured for military,
Orleans, settler to settle on the jungle spot.
Lagash, confu academy for the hammers
Yekaterina for Missionaries spam, until we go military

As all our builds are buildings I switched to OR for awhile.

Tile allocations in Pawelograd and Yekaterina as asked

Academy in Wen Amon form our GS. Movd milary units to Gilly border, aware of a possible strike from Cathy, but we have some gold to upgrade defenders if needed.

Taj mahal in, golden age.

Versailles where? We should just build it with this G age. Anywhere will boost our economy so I just use ther GA hammers to get it done while we are waiting for Milt trad.

FP going into Pawelograd after it's court.


A look at Gill's defence. about 12 units in the capital. I will try to draw them out.

Cyrus wants totrade but I decline. We can get Steel with lib.

Merchant appears, what to do with him. I think upgrades form trade mission, but hold him for now

I start Versailles in Pheoniecian as it has reasonable production.

Globe goes into Paris, our NP city , soon to be drafting I think.

Dawgtown founded, will set it up for workshops unless otherwise ordered.

So we have a merchant, with another one on the way in Orleans probably.

Switch to Theocracy.

Need;
Advice on West Point city

We can grab Steel with Liberalism. no one even has philosophy. Do we want to go further? Steel+ merchants = all out trebs to cannon.

Any changes to the cities? I will hit Gilly in a few turns, before cannons maybe,as it should be a quick war.

Steel will open up Iron works. Any ideas for it?

I vote Ironworks in lagash. Honestly, this game wont last much longer. Taking cannons from Lib is a good call and sending the merchant to Berlin will do us well in upgrades.

We are getting close to the point where building wonders won't yield much in return, in the case of Ironworks we'd still need Steam Power to reveal coal otherwise it's only +50% production from iron. It might be a good option for a GE.

We may want to think about just running war civics, Police State, Vassalage, Theocracy.

The Guilds/pihlosophy +200gold trade would be good a bit later when Liberalism is assured as banking for Mercantilism would be a great boost for us.

Is the tech path finish gunpowder==>Chemistry==> Liberalism? Does anybody else have Education/Philosophy yet?

Using the GM for cannon upgrades sound like a top plan.
 
Sumeria is history.

Spoiler :
Declare on the Sumerian.

I wait like a wolf in the city of Kish for his attempt at survival, a stack. He doesnt have any pikes in the stack ! I throw a catapult at it and then go in with one cuirassier, then elephants and even chariots to clean up his trebuchets.

I love it when this happens, Cyrus build Versailles, giving us 700 gold one turn aftee steel is in. We upgrade all trebs and most catapults to cannon. still I wait in Kish as our mini stack moves to Eridu. A scouting cuirassier picks off the iron , Gilly's last meager hope is gone.

Lib in, go go for Steel

Uruk taken, spy to Eridu to drop defenses,but he fails. Have to do it the old fashioned way, so our big stack heads over there.

This scout withdraws from no less than 5 Sumerian catapults in Persian land, and still survives.

A Sumerian mace hanging around in the south that I forgot all about takes Elephantine!! A cuirassier for VoK takes it back in one move. Phew.

1705 we grab the last city, but Gil has an outpost to the North. Military units are scattered a bit, but most are on the border with Cyrus and Catherine, ready for any eventuality.

I send a mini stack up to the outpost to avoid the motherland negative, but it slows the victory down by 5 turns. nevermind. We are in control.

Cyrus ask for this. Patch trades? He has no horse? I've seen his knights

Catherine hasnt lost her sense of humour

We have another GG. My builds were getting nautical, because we have a glut of cannon and mounted units.

We can hit the Persian cities with frigates.
Privateers just to annoy Catherine for the fun of it.

With another merchant on a galleon to Germany, we have no shortage of gold to go to cavalry.


Yes, I agree on the war civics. Or at least Free speech to push the borders.

I'll leave that for the next.

Great turnset Mice!

Should there be cities to part-take, I go for Rostov as no one claimed it yet.

Anyway, your naval plan seems very nice - frigates on Cyrus and annoy Cathy with Privateers. I think we should definitely strike Cyrus as soon as the Cavs are in.

Lowered to her current level, Cathy can do no durable harm to us, as long as we keep our border with her well defended (I've yet to see the save but hope you do so ;)).

Also, the next person should not forget to send a couple of settlers/rifles to colonize the island south of German.

I don't know if it has finished yet, but just for the efficiency I wouldn't build Versailles next to FP in Pawelograd.

As for me, best locations for Versailles are Wen Amon or Bombay.
 
Versailles went to Cyrus. It was great because we got the gold one turn before the big attack.

So Rostov for Governor Pawelo. Maybe people have enough cities to manage :lol: It seems that we just need to switch to war civic and war builds and steamroll from here in. Not much management is needed.

Didnt you claim Uruk Pawelo ?? It looks sweet.

Nice turns of events, not only Cyrus provided us with the Wonder, he also managed indirectly to finance his own doom ;)

I like Rostov as a military powerplant close to the front.

As for Uruk, it is a beautiful location but I would leave it to another governor. Me specialized in Russian cities :) Btw, please rename Rostov to Wenamonayarsk - to commemorate this glorious warmonger sneakly killed just under the Rostov's city walls.
 
LET'S KILL, LOOT AND RAPE THE PERSIAN PEOPLE! MHAUHAUA!

:crazyeye:


So you want to wait for cavalry? How far is it from now?



Nice turnset by the way! Easy game! :lol:
 
@r_rolo1
It's the least I can do to such an illustrious soldier :)

@all
Who plays the next episode ?
Going for Cav/Cyrus seems to be a decent plan. Someone excutes it?
I'll post building/working orders for Wenamonayarsk this evening.
Pawelograd and Yekaterina may continue with former orders.
 
My cities are for the empire!

All I ask is a little focus on culture! ;)


I shall leave the command for the next war to the person who writes the most compelling, sensitive, best, sexy, lovely, blabla, phrase about your king!
 
King? :confused: .... Aren't we in Representation? :lol:

If no one wants to be the glourious victor over the nasty Persians, I can pick it... But I'm with more 3 SG and 2 open games hosted by me ( that obviously I can't skip :lol: , one of them being in the earth 18 civs vanilla map ( huge stuff :eek: ), so I would like that someone else would make this war...

P.S How was this for most compelling, sensitive, best, sexy, lovely, blabla, phrase about the king? :lol:
 
The dom clock is on 44% . Cyrus has 22%, so the maths is easy, and then there's young Catherine.


It's kind of 'all over bar the shouting' as they say. I would say lets open the save to anyone who would like to play it.

There are so many cities, it's a lot to ask to configure them all. Most cities will be just interested in throwing out units I guess at this stage.

Metahu, culture, we can go to 100% soon .

We still have some play, but I have some thoughts on what worked and what didnt work so well with the game. After our victory it would be nice to compare notes.

But first we need a General ,
 
No special orders for Wenamonayarsk - just please optimize it for military.

Good luck to the General. I would attack on both fronts - from the east, and former Russia and from the south/west - Bombay and Wen Amon.
It shoud crush pretty well whatever resistance we can encounter (mighty immortals :lol:)
