RR11 - Takeshi's castle - Page 12

r_rolo1 · Apr 11, 2011, 06:34 PM

Ok, time to report ...

The first things to do were to move the troops around to the ships and to Salzburg ( to visit a certain well know composer, OFC

). In 2 turns, we had the Vatican in the hands:

Spoiler:

With that it came the control of the papal chair. But the capture of Rome was enough to make charlie to kiss the ring:

Spoiler:

The AP election results

Spoiler:

This could be won easily via AP ... but no, we will not acept anything except the world at our feet.

Probably one of the last tech trades we will make in the game:

Spoiler:

Why? Rushmore and paratroopers

We got a GP ... a certain Roman pretty lost in it's way

Spoiler:

Not enough for other GA

BtW in tech terms, after finishing Electricity, I got to nukes:

Spoiler:

Never understood why Firaxis decided to twist the qoute Opperheimer was quoting ... it is "Khali , the destroyer of worlds" .... Khali is not death , simply the Xhivan destroying aspect. But I guess that Firaxis is somewhat short in Hindu theologicians nowadays .

Anyway it was time to knock on Louis door again:

Spoiler:

And the fight was not exactly fierce:

Spoiler:

Atleast this time the Frech had a good answer to the WW II " Pourquoi mourir pour Danzig?"

Spoiler:

Pretty decent

Anyway as france colapsed fast enough ( not even time to capture Paris ), I decided to settle some scores from the Bizantine war:

Spoiler:

This had a reason: Izzy was starting to upgrade to Infantry. If i had waited even 1 turn things would be surely harder

Second AP vote:

Spoiler:

No vote chosen

Rocketry in. I queued Industrialism

Spoiler:

Now we only need to manhattan to finish to make some fireworks for our american friends

And the $&#$%%$% Spanish queen, in spite of being broken in two turns, forced me to march onto Santiago until she was willing to talk

Spoiler:

Anyway, for the next set, I let this disposition of troops to attack the beefs

Spoiler:

Most of the units are unmoved ( in spite of the red button is shown ). There are also fighters in Paris

I made a air recon and the brits have no tanks, no airforce ( not even airships ) and a single destroyer in London. Easy work.

Thy is up, maybe nocho will have something to do after him

why are you using an external storage site, rolo?

r_rolo1 · Apr 11, 2011, 06:44 PM

My CFC account is full with saves I don't want to erase ( mainly LHC saves and some SGs I know people still go to check from time to time ). It is not a perfect solution, but it will have to do

lymond · Apr 11, 2011, 06:47 PM

Ah...didn't realize it could get full like that..

We have plenty of units. We can run several back to Moscow and it should be fine. I meant for us to keep a few infra fortified in the city. Kiev could use 1 or 2 more units.

Suffering from dysgrpahia again, or did Thy leave the building permanently without me noticing it?

Btw, seems you did a decent job, rolo.

r_rolo1 · Apr 12, 2011, 07:43 AM

In this case I was suffering a bad case of sleep deprival

Thy is up , OFC ... nocho will most likely not even play this one

Thy_Spellcraft · Apr 12, 2011, 12:12 PM

As I didn't leave I'm up and I got it!

Still have to do some work but will take a look at the save later on to post some plan!

r_rolo1 · Apr 12, 2011, 01:43 PM

Ok, updated the report

There is no great need for plan: smash the brits , wait 5 turns for manhattan, get 8 nukes, deliver fireworks to Monty and HC. Simple enough

Thy_Spellcraft · Apr 12, 2011, 03:01 PM

Took a look at the save and yes rolo, you're damn right we don't need any plans anymore..
I'll try to get this done tomorrow evening..

Thy_Spellcraft · Apr 14, 2011, 02:37 PM

Ok.. The most important picture first:

I won't give a full report anymore, as I'm pretty sure noone is really interested to read a mob up report... So only the interesing stuff:

Before hitting Enter I DoWed Lizzy:

Spoiler:

As expected:

Spoiler:

1906:
Next english city:

Spoiler:

And once again as expected:

Spoiler:

Meanwhile I started to fly some troops over to America so in 1909 I DoWed the next one:

Spoiler:

And on we go:

Spoiler:

1910:
Manhatten build and some more of Mountie's cities fell:

Spoiler:

To speed things up the final DoW:

Spoiler:

1911:
Mountie's Cap fell soon after and finally he decided to do something senseful:

Spoiler:

1912:
Here we go for Inca's land:

Spoiler:

1913:
After this city

Spoiler:

and auto-raising another one he finally went the right way:

Spoiler:

So here we are:

Spoiler:

Added the save the turn before the final Enter..

Thank you for this fun game

And on with anotherone!!!!

Brian Shanahan · Apr 14, 2011, 02:46 PM

Nice one Thy, am looking forward to the next game.

nocho · Apr 14, 2011, 03:24 PM

Nice finish, Thy.

Once we got China, I guess this game was basically won. Oh wait, that was after the first turnset!

lymond · Apr 14, 2011, 05:16 PM

Way to bring it home, Thy!!! good game, fellas!

Now on to the next Rolo variant and some more ass whuppin'

r_rolo1 · Apr 15, 2011, 04:48 AM

Ass what ?

Next one will be cloak and dagger, with lot of work in the shadows

Congrats people. This went a little smoother than I thinked, in spite of the European last stand (TM) . The conquest of China in the first sets was pivotal and without China around, nobody except the Europeans had the potential to be a threat. To be honest i guess that I should had chosen Saladin for this, that is genuinely hard ( you are playing Deity, with most of Europe in war with you and with them playing Chieftain or warlord ... and you will lose cities even before you have a chance to play ( Cordoba normally falls before you can do anything about it ) ) or Korea ( China in one side, Japan in the other ... and the mongol invasion. Maybe somewhere in the future.

Anyway, I'll start the next game this weekend. Stay tuned.

Thy_Spellcraft · Apr 16, 2011, 01:43 AM

Just to discuss a bit on our next leader.. I don't like to go this game with gilga once again.. He's got a really good UU but I'm not sure whether we'll need it, as axe-rush won't be possible this time. And his early UB is nice but not needed that badly!
I'd purpose Zara, as his creative will help a lot within our new cities and reduces the costs of the libs for even more fast cultural expansion. And his UB seems to be perfect for this variant!
