No, I didn't upload, 'cause nothing much happened and I planned to play 5t. Played another 2t and uploaded. I think I should hand off here, as I'm very busy the rest of this week. Also, as the war plans shifted around during my set, I feel my units are a bit aimless at this point (i.e. not sure how we wanna proceed against Churchill and Roosevelt). Time for a fresh set of eyes.
Churchill: nothing much. Stack sitting in Marseilles. Odd units moving up north. I think we're def. the target. This is either bestsss' 10t prep or he doesn't have enough attack units yet. In any case, we have a bunch of muskets sitting between Orleans and Rheims, and some siege in Rheims (including a cannon
). I wish he'd DOW and move out most of his stack, 'cause I think we can wipe it out in the open now.
Roosevelt: captured Hangzhou
I didn't settle Kam-3S until this turn, as stupid DG somehow managed to build another unit in his crappy size-1 city. Meant I was 1 attack unit short of razing last turn. Anyway, need a turn of culture. Also, Hangz doesn't have the full stationary discount yet (since we didn't plan on that initially). We have 1300+ ep against him now and 500-ish per turn sustainable. I'm wondering if we wanna consider revolting some cities (might make the initial American war faster?)
Mao: our stack is NNE of Nanjing, with 3 more trebs a turn behind (east of Shanghai). He has a bunch of caravels, and I think we're losing the Beijing fish. What can you do?
There's a settler in Orleans meant for hammer city. Beijing settler in queue was meant for Hangz-2W. Not sure we need to complete now.
Decided to build IA in Bahamas as per mdy after all. Figure it can't really hurt to open some more spy slots for later GP, or maybe speed up some tech steal by a turn.
GP Farm is regrowing every turn. We have a bunch of muskets already. Paris and Fish are building a cannon each right now (need Guilds to proceed in Fish). Moscow is running sci when we have enough hammers for 1t build.
Circumnavigated this turn. No announcement yet (I think after turn roll). Idiot Roosevelt sent his caravel to Kamchatka and Gandhi apparently doesn't like to build them.
I think that's it. I'm sure there's a lot of weed in the save, so the next turn player can ask(scold) me about it as it comes up. Who's up, btw? Mitchum, you available now?
Edit: I traded Liberalism for DR+map, in case we want Versailles. Realize I'm not clear on our Versailles plans. If we didn't build it, Roosevelt surely would - that may be ok. Then we'd do FP in Hastings roughly?
Edit2: Used the Hangz-2W ConfMiss to spread in Orleans. Troy got Buddhism immediately.
Edit3: Churchill has Machinery now, and I spotted one mace in York this turn.
Edit4:
Rheims - I thought I'd build a trireme in advance of the England war. We'll probably need a couple. He doesn't have Optics yet, so trireme should be good enough for the near future.
Bananas - did LH as per LC. Then library - they're cheap and it's kind of a shame no to have one everywhere.
Kamchatka - forge as placeholder. Maybe we want another settler to iceball Mao? Not a rush, but it might be useful to free up St Nick at some point for future stealing.
