[LP] Random map/civ on Deity.

Yeah, let's bring our army and throw it all into the sea. Good stuff.

[RedRover57]

Good series so far, although I'm curious as to why you are going for nukes and not stealth bombers? Also, what VC?

[Realyn]

Guess domination. I wanna know where uranium is. I should be able to conquer the northern continent without nukes, but no chance against the continent Cesar is on. So yeah, after atomic theory I'm going for stealth bombers.

[Realyn]

Spoiler:

I'm so smart. I nearly signed a RA with Poly. That happens if you play in short sessions and forget about your world domination plans.

Anyway. I'm getting my destroyer into position. Ally Brussel and scout around the borders a bit. Cavalary, cannons and a mix of infrantry/rifleman is what I can expect.

Blitzed Yaroslave and heading for the smaller southern cities. Really don't like to go for the big one right away and getting flanked all the time while doing so.

Spoiler:

Connecting Petersburg to the capital by harbor is pretty important right now. I want Moscow to have the railroad modifier asap. Getting the "cheap" stuff like libary, temple and so on there first then ... from then on - units!

[Realyn]

Spoiler:

I was a bit confused by this uranium tile near Venice. Will the border pop once the CS discover atomic theory?
Think so, still going to try to plant a city between Venice and Petersburg and buy that tile. This way I can also let naval units through.

Spoiler:

Bulbing a "cheap" tech, so I get a better reward from the upcoming RA. Not that it matters much, the other way around would have gotten me same amount of science if I'm not mistaken. I'm really looking forward to G&K when they hopefully will fix this RA and GS nonsense.

I tried to ally Sidon, but so did Polynesia ._.. Nearly 2000 gold wasted. The other CS's were bought by Rome and Hawatha.

edit: Actually with two RA's coming at the same turn, it was better to use the GS first.

Fascinating... so it was the Polynesians who done the Koreans in. Ironically, the reverse was almost true in a recent game of mine lol

You should probably aim for the capital and then Nuku Hiva after this. That uranium tile is sitting there so lonely

[Realyn]

Spoiler:

If you are wondering why I kept switching techs ... everytime my happyness went into the red direction I thought "damn, you do need the stadiums".
Then again, I get my next policy in roughly ~5 turns. It will improve courthouses and give me quite a happyness boost.

St. Petersburg will focus on building navy from now on. Thats why I bought the seaport.

edit: Forget the courthouse thing. Next policy will reduce buy cost of units, then courthouses.

Spoiler:

And we are back to policies again. I thought abit about what to use the GE for and decided to go for the Sydney Opera House. In hindsight the Eiffel Tower could have been better ...

Askia is visiting our lands ... Most likely he is on the run from .. everyone.

[Realyn]

Spoiler:

Russia blocking my spot. Allright, let's get into round2 once our 30 gpt deal ends.

Poly wants to give us 30 gpt as well, you know whats amazing? He has got 470 more .

After nearly taking another city from he ups his peace offer to ...
3
2
6
gpt

I took out some crap cities, added both CS's he conquered and accepted for 280 gpt .

Spoiler:

Purchased my first battleship before I build ... no, thats not the right word. From now on I'm buying everything as rich as I'm ...
Uhm yeah, anyway - forgot to get the xp buildings before I bought that battleship ...

[Realyn]

Spoiler:

Purchasing that uranium obviously did not work. But looking at the picture ... did I had to purchase the water tiles first?

I agreed to the DoF. I'm going for the northern continent with Mongolia and Denmark next. Songhai and Arabia will most likely be my only friends for the rest of the game.

[smallfish]

You really are a warmongering menace to the world

[Realyn]

Finally finished the game today. Got another ~600 pictures. Like last games I'll start making posts without much comments, especially when I start to invade the northern continent. Theres simply not that much to comment on.

Spoiler:

Don't get fooled by the picture after taking the new policy. I annex'ed some cities right away ... the policy for itself gave me around 30 happyness.

[Realyn]

Spoiler:

Allright, I have to get this joke into some post ... I just watched Battleship some days ago, the movie was really good ... but now I'm commanding my own DESTROYERs!

[Realyn]

[Realyn]

Spoiler:

Have I heard something about stealth bombers being OOOOPPP? Nah ...

[Realyn]

Spoiler:

I'm sweaping every turn and have fighters to intercept ... but jeez ... those masses. Bet he has like ~15 fighter/bomber himself.
I tried a new approach from this point on: take that one city, move everything out of range and kill every meele unit in range to take the city. That way he will attack the city will all his stupid air units.

[Realyn]

Spoiler:

How many more ing waves ... jeez christ.
