[Elephantium]

I've got it.

 

[Elephantium]

Pre-turn:

700 AD:

Hebron, third wave:
Hussar dies
Hussar kills Late Pikeman
Hussar kills Late Pikeman and destroys the city.

Handoff notes:

Israel is on the run, but Elath is awkwardly far away. I'd guess they have another 5 turns left in the game.

I started sending reinforcements to the NW to deal with Canada. The initial wave was no big deal, but they have more troops lurking W of Curse of Davros. Evil of the Daleks may come under attack, too.

It's about 30 turns to rails. We might speed that up by trading all our techs to Arabia, Britain, and Poland in hopes that they research something we can trade.

Canada would be on that list, except they just attacked us...

We get East India in 3 and Magellan's in 6 -- losing Wonder races is the one thing that gives me pause about trading.

Speaking of which, I set Skaro to build a Courthouse so that it can build Code Civil once we get Napoleonic Age.

I didn't plop down a city in Israeli lands yet. Maybe replace Jericho for the Gems?

Once Israel is out of the game, the army in that area could probably take down the Mongols.

I have a Settler heading towards Brazil. We might find a good site near the Alligators.

 

[LKendter]

With Canada turning us, am glad I left that stack in the west.

It is slow going, but the core or Israel is already razed.
Gaining 15 workers from Jerusalem was great.

I’m in no rush to get to railroads. I prefer to keep the tech lead. The one thing I didn’t see in the report was new contacts. We really need to find the civ feeding cash to Arabia.


ROSTER:
LKendter
Elephantium
Greebley (up)
Jersey Joe (on deck)

We must raze all the cities. They can’t be captured for even 1 second.
No workers may upgrade to partisans as we don’t want non-Daleks in our army. If we create a foreign partisan, it must be disbanded ASAP.
We are defiant. We must refuse all demands. The superior Daleks will not be ordered by other civs.
We can’t give up anything to get peace. We can't accept cities in peace.
We can’t complete Military Research Center until the appropriate age.

 

[Elephantium]

Ya, that stack in the West was the real MVP of my set

 

[Jersey Joe]

The 15 Hebrew workers found in the ruins are weeping at the loss of the city's wonders. They will know the superiority of the Daleks!

Exterminate Exterminate Exterminate

Maybe replace Jericho for the Gems?

Luxuries are always nice to control.

We might find a good site near the Alligators.

We should try and build the town so that its third ring borders mesh with the third ring borders of a town build to get the Tobacco.

[Jersey Joe]

We really need to find the civ feeding cash to Arabia.

Maybe our one exploring ship should sail west and meet the British and the other nations near the British before sailing west to meet China. Why haven't we finished sailing around our land mass?

 

[Greebley]

On my turn we had a boat that had just contacted the Brittish and was sailing to meet the rest along the northern coast. Did that one vanish? It should have met some of the others by now.

 

[Greebley]

I think I should swap.

Am currently sick so can't play well. If I get better I was planning on Anime Boston this weekend so would not be able to play then either.

 

[Jersey Joe]

Greebley. get better quickly and enjoy the Anime.
I got it.

 

[Jersey Joe]

Early tease: Finally, we get a Camel to cross a desert.

 

[LKendter]

Glad we found one of the cash cows.

IIRC fossil energy revealed coal. Do we have some?

 

[Elephantium]

Yep, we have two sources. One is in the forest south of Skaro

The other is down by Genesis of Evil (which also has Iron in the city radius!)

 

[Jersey Joe]

Some teasers: We also have 2 sources of Rubber;
a new source of Settlers

and one less opponent to our domination

 

[Jersey Joe]

Currently, I am not taking the offensive vs Canada, they are to far away. I am waiting for them to send troops to us to be exterminated (though maybe Elephantium exterminated their "free" troops). The way to Canada should be through Indo-china.

I am considering using our eastern Army to exterminate the Mongols. Also, I am massing an force to exterminate Brazil.

Any thoughts on the next target(s)?

 

[Elephantium]

It'll be a bit before we get rails. In the meantime, the troops in Old Israel could go after the Mongols.

On the western front, we could mass our troops and punch through Indochina to make it easier to get to Canada

 

[Jersey Joe]

It'll be a bit before we get rails. In the meantime, the troops in Old Israel could go after the Mongols.

I figure 26-30 turns to learn rails. 2 turns to finish Steam Power then 4 turns each for: Military Tradition->Medicine->Enlightenment->Napoleonic Age->Industrialization->Democracy->Railroad. With luck we need 26 turns if we can get Medicine from the Ai. Also, Democracy (unlikely the Ai could learn it if we don't trade Enlightment) has been delayed learned it right after Industrialization to give added time to build Factories and Gas Holders and Hospitals before learning Railroads and gives time to start some pre-builds.

On the western front, we could mass our troops and punch through Indochina to make it easier to get to Canada

My thoughts exactly, exterminate the enemy on our flank before getting to Canada.

 

[Jersey Joe]

Indo-China has many mounted troops near Curse of Davos. It is an opportune time to exterminate them.

We inform the Mongol Khanates that their golden Hordes roaming about in undeveloped Dalek-Israel territory is a serious affront to us. The only solution is to exterminate them.

I did not check for trades (other than to sell Medicine) this turn.

Screen shots are in my next post.

Notes and Suggestions:

• Our Settler (labeled Dalek-West) just arrived in Dalek-Brazil and is on the white dot to build. It is right next to Wine.
• A Settler labled Dalek-USA will reach the blue dot (marked on map to follow) next turn. Feel free to change to another location, maybe even go and settle by our Fruit Colony (yellow dot suggested).
• I think I exterminated most of Indo-China’s mounted troops.
• I do not have us learning Democracy until after we learn Industrialization. This gives us a chance to build Factories, and Gas Holders and start a pre-build for the Crystal Palace before learning Railroads. Also, there is a chance that we might be able to trade for it.
• I have a Camel Musketeer moving north in the desert by Indo-China, His mission is the contact the Canadians and the Turks
• I have 2 Camel Musketeers exploring by Turkey and headed toward Russia. The is also a Naval Explorer heading toward Persia and Russia.

 

[Jersey Joe]

Here is Dalek-Brazil and potential build sites. Red dot is for far future and I think it could be postioned a liitle better.

Here is build spot in Dalek-USA

Next is Potential build spot (yellow dot) in Dalek-Israel where we now have a colony.

Next is the eastern front in soon to be Dalek-Mongol.

Finally, here is Dalak-Aztec and soon to be Dalek-Indo-China

 

[Civinator]

I have a Camel Musketeer moving north in the desert by Indo-China, His mission is the contact the Canadians and the Turks.

I am wondering what the message of this ambassador to both civs will be. Happy Eastern ?
