Preturn- This looks nasty. Fisrt off I drop lux by 10% and hire a few specialists, our economy is only losing 23gpt. Playing around with specialists a bit more drops that to -16gpt. I make peace with Babylon, giving them Atomic Theory for 37gpt and 19g. I know we got ripped off, but I'm concerned with our survival, and I haven't been left in a situation with much better choices. I also trade AT to China for Communism, Fascism and two luxes. The two luxes are critical. I easily drop lux to 60%, getting us up to +149 gpt.
I draft rifles extensively. Hopefully it will hold. W ehave cavs healing in towns without barracks? I suppose maybe they were being used as defenders. I move them to places with barracks, as we can't have them out of commission for so many turns.
Fortune Favor the Foolish
IT- Very ugly. We lose three cities to Greece, one to England.
T1 1220
China gets Electronics for Replaceable parts. We need infatry and arty. We also get over 1000g for upgrades. I give Coba to Babylon as its going to be overrun. I try to reinforce things, but this mught not be pretty. If things go badly Greece can run all the way through our core.
IT- Greeks break through Nuremburg, capturing half our cannons. We hold up elsewhere.
T2 1230
I nearly kill a cav army busting through infantry to get our cannons back. They are promtly upgraded to artillery. I kill as many Greeks as I can, taking out the highest threats first.
IT- Greece razes two of our southwestern cities.
T3 1240
Thank god, Greece will talk. Therefore, I go on an all out offensive to recover what we can. We get back Nuremburg and Franfurt, but we lose a cav army in the process. We gain a leader and a new army as well, so the cost isn't quite as bad. Time for peace. We have to pay 165g and 32gpt. Geez, this seems almost like what happened to Germany at the end of WWI
We'll have the last laugh in WWII though
We can drop lux to 20%. I get us building either factories or infantry all over.
IT- Nice and quiet
T4 1250
We make peace with France. We take out some frustration on England, capturing a city. I'd like to wipe the stinky buggers out.
IT- zzz
T5 1255
We slaughter more English. This is much more fun.
IT- zzz
T6 1260
We capture the English city in the north.
IT- zzz
T7 1265
We make peace with Sumeria and get Sanitation in the process.
IT- zzz
T8 1270
We capture London. We also make peace with Japan and the Aztecs.
IT- We get Hoovers.
T9 1275
We capture Nottingham.
Summary
I stopped at 9 turns so we could be at a semi-normal number of turns. We're in a much better place now. We need to continue building up our infrastructure and military while researching towards Panzers. I would love nothing more than to build a massive amount of Panzers and raze every Greek city on the face of the world. I think that should be our goal. In the meantime, have fun killing England
