Role Play Challenge, The Next Generation: Sid Meier, The Civilized Tyrant

Slay the heretic mao, healing divisions in the one true faith (aka Judaism). should take priority over political expediency. And you can get rid of that Gilgamesh while your at it as well. Incidentally it unites the continent.

After that you can simply sit back, relax and prepare for the inevitable conquest of your heathen neighbors. Id personally leave the biggest opponent to the end with another strong opponent being the first intercontinental target (slaying weaklings is all well and good but I want more action then that)

heading to State property would be good on this map.

Prospone state property until you have rifling.
Tech RP and Rifling. Go get Mao. MAO MAO!

And can't you start some wars? We want action in the world. Boudica and Justinian! Let them fight each other.

Chemistry and frigates will be a fun factor. Have them block off cities of underdeveloped civs like SB and Toku.

Good write up, btw. Must have taken you a while Impressive.

CHEESE! wants a Chinese city. Xian for me?

Sid Meier, The Civilized Tyrant: The Long Sino-Civfanatics War

The time has come for Sid to secure his home hemisphere. There is much to conquer and starting in your home turf is the first step. However, that requires a navy and time for Sid to get Frigates, so we research Chemistry one turn to open up this trade



And Sid lowers the science slider to 0% to build up thr treasury and upgrade all the triemes/caravels to frigates. Meanwhile the last few world leaders begin to show themselves



we open borders and end up ignoring Asoka because the Civfanatic Empire has other things on it's mind



The army is sufficient enough to kicj the Chinese and Summerians off our home continent. Note the spy in the city which reduced the cutlure defenses allowing a fast assault.

But of course remains courteous to all leaders, going through proper channels.



As the army moves against China, our navy is finally upgraded



It took damage through the long war but lasted as long as we needed. This fleet was sent towards the front to transport troops and reduce defenses.

Once Chemistry was done Sid concentrated on Replaceable Parts and Rifling.

The first Chinese city fell easily



And CHEESE! was placed in charge.

Replaceable Parts was researched and based on the number of leaders, no tech can be considered a monopoly, so we traded and got what we could







Solid techs although Divine Right was taken only for throw in to trades. No civics were changed just yet.

The bulk of the army was trasnported to the Chinese home island and an agressive assault on Bejing was made, leaving the Summerian captial for later.





Bejing was given over to IPEX 731BAS-SS06 for management. Numerous Wonders make this one of the better prizes so far.

We managed to get a hold of Constitution



And met one of the French Leaders (come on you knew one would be arround).



The most agressive but usually the worse techer.

Finally, the City of Neal spits out the Next GP



No question here, we start a Golden Age for a large civic swap



We wait three more turns until we start drafting rifles and make an attempt to take Shanghai



The war went poorly here and we were forced to retreat before all out troops are wasted here.

The next leader we meet



Just as we bign the retreat to The City of IPEX



It was here that a major counter attack came from Mao. Fortunately the enemy stack stopped right at the walls of the City of IPEX allowing us the counter attack the counter attack with a Stack of Knights, previously promoted from Numidians. With the flanking promotions many knight survived and the dangerous trebs were completely destroyed. A glorious battle with magnificent military tactics shown by IPEX, Mao was never able to launch another counter attack and resorted to cowering behind his city walls hoping his protective trait works.

We finish Rifling and begin Scientific Method, mostly because I want to get Communism before we finish the Golden Age. Here we met the Last leader, from the missing Americans.



The easiest and the Americans to get along with, especially post-Democacy.

Summeria's Capital fell



And was given to CableDawg

We finished Communism and changed civics



The economy was helped, but not all that much. The extra trade route from Free MArket was rather big.

Democracy was researched next, and the Civfanatic army healed and the assault on Shanghai resumed.



Drafted rifles provided great support here as well as upgraded maces.

Democracy did not take long as this trade came up



Too bad we do not have enough time in the Golden Age to swap to Emancipation.

Peter provided Steam Power and soon we were going down the Steel/RailRoad/COmbustion tech path!

At this point the Chinese empire began to collapse



And I will save you the numerous screenshots. Suffice to say that Obsolete/Mattimeo/InFlux5/KingMoran/NOTO/Refar/FutureHermit/Absimiliard/Charou/Xanadux were all given cities to govern.

In fact, Gilgamesh put up more of a fight that MAO (Maybe because he managed to get to rifles!)

We find more key trades





For the record, Sid is perfectly fine with finishing the entire tech with most of the leaders left. Modern warfare has it's entertainments!

THe Summerian city is captured



And Sid is annoyed to find out that Gilgamesh is still alive and cannot be found right now. So we proceed to take the last Chinese city on this landmass.



The only Question is whether we stop here with Mao left to 2 cities on an off-shore island, Take capitulation, or finish him off. we opt for choice #2.



Soon the last Chinese city is captured



And Mao's head is lopped off by an Angry Absimiliard. we take peace with Gilgamesh, neither wanting to take him as a Vassal or hunt him down.

To Be Continued.........

Sid Meier, The Civilized Tyrant: The Long Sino-Civfanatics War

Saved here looking to finish some infrastructure as we are researching Assembly line. I see Flight next followed by electricity/Industrialism.

Rather than show the City screenshot, here is the Civfanatic Empire



National Wonders are as follows

City of MadScientist: Working on IronWorks
City of KMadCandy: Has the Maori
City of Neal: Has the National Epic
City of KillRotan: Heroic Epic

National Wonders left

WestPoint: Perhaps City of KMadCandy for combat V naval units?
Oxford: ???
Wall Street: DaveMcW where the Judaist Shrine is.
GlobeTheater: City of NEal??? Seams like the only city with ALOT of excess food.
NAtioanl Park: There is one city with 4 forrests, just don't remember which.

Demographics show



OK, tops in alot of iportant areas however, 2 nationa have bigger armies. Seams like the biggest nations are

Boudiuca
Justinian
Hyuna

Techs we have pulled ahead over many











And Last, Victory Conditions



Any Questions here???

SO I think I want to establish a strong Industrial base now with airports and airforce before I hit any other major lands. If I do get a decent army/Navy easrlier I can pick off the easier neighbors.

mayhem!!!!!!

Not a lot to say. Good work.

Just look at that scoreboard!

Who's the next sucker? Based on the map, I think that Willem looks like a nice target.

Ouch, inca's have Assembly and are industrious, chances are that you will lose pentagon, unless you race tech and your ironworks city towards it.

I suggest, since you have state property, that you blitz the very simply kills, while you tech and build infra, and then start building lots of tanks and planes to take out the top dogs, after that, win would be quite easy.

Only thing that can stop you now is if AI decides to dogpile you at places where you are weak. Though I doubt that will ever happen.

Take down a Christian or Confucian nearby. The time for infrastructure is over. All the world must be shared, SHARED AMONG The CIVFANATICS! Your going to run out of people though if you take every city. You need to get a strong Vassal to hold your territory outside of your purview. I like Peter of Russia, he's Christian and he is a decent warmonger.

We can suggest the names of other posters.

Well... Willem's land is a nice launchpad for conquest...

Kill Gilgamesh... and wear his awesome beard

I agree with McThomas- Willie's land is fairly isolated, close, small, and it will give you somewhere to concentrate your troops. Just make sure to take Maastricht while you're sailing to the Netherlands.

By the way, where's the city of Sisiutil?

Its interesting to note that there are actually so many AI's on this map, that the chances of any AI to be at war are much much greater, also we see some AI's with 6-7 worst enemies! thats pretty amazing. Overall it seems that this has slowed down the techpace of the world when initially I thought it would be really high due to the huge amount of trading partners, interesting...

Great game! I see you have only Conquest victory enabled; good luck killing/vassaling all of them before the time limit(this is marathon, right?)

I assume that Mad's saving the city of Sisiutl for one of the best AI capitals

Score victory is disabled, so unless I am mistaken there is no time limit. This will be a future era fight to the death. Nukes?

Remember that the UN is coming soon. Your population is sizable, but not enough to guarantee eligibility. Get voted in before it ruins your day.

Economy is fine. Since you are in state property with caste system, guilds, and chemistry you might want to tear up cottages in a nice green city and make a production city. This could be used for either aircraft or nukes if it is inconveniently placed for fighting. Repeat 3 times and you can kill a city a turn without fighting!

Civics. Go environmentalism, serfdom, and pacifism and see how long before you strike. Or keep it as is, whichever works.

Oh, I wouldn't bother fighting the people with more tech than you just yet. There is no longer a reason to fight at a disadvantage ever again, just wait till the tree is full while killing somebody else.

I demand cash!!!!!!!!!!!! The AI have to much cash lying around. You can easily net in more then a trade mission with a GM Then upgrade all rifles to inf and MAYHEMMMMMMMMM!!!!! By god, this RPC rules I also smell late game nukes coming up. Please make sure to blow Shaka and Monty from the map.

If you take the land mass directly north of you next, it will give you a "wall" setup for your next conquests to simply move left or right. Just a thought.

Actually I am trying to use posters who have posted in an RPC before (Yeah even DaveMcW did) and Sis never did. Also Sis seams very protective of his name (as I found out from the MAD World RPC), so perhaps it's best if let that go. However, perhaps a City named ALC may be reasonable. I prefer not to annoy someone who's many games helped elevate my game play.
