Uhh what about the save? And the plan is to gift up/trade up once we finish electricity?

 

[del62]

If we have units to spare, we need to marshall French settler away from our horses, if they settle where they are thats ok i think

 

[TheOverseer714]

Just remember that there is a Portuguese landing likely and if its a musket, it can pillage at leisure, since we have no artillery units handy. This means not sending too many resources to manage the french settler. Maybe do it this way, if the settler moves toward the horses, pull in another AC to steer him away from our horses.

 

[del62]

Sk8Boardbob2, did you get the game OK?

 

[TheOverseer714]

Methinks he must be having internet problems. Give him a few more days, but then we must keep going, this game has a long time to run.

 

[DWetzel]

Possibly he didn't notice that the save was edited in? (I didn't until just now).

 

[del62]

I will give him until saturday, if he hasnt posted by then I will take up the challenge

 

[sk8boardbob2]

Sorry it took so long, I had spring break last week and didn't have access to the computer.

[del62]

Disapointing that no one got medecine on the gift up, nvm, will look at save later

lurker's comment:

were you getting WH perhaps?

 

[sk8boardbob2]

lurker's comment:

We got Navigation and a worker back.

 

[Bucephalus]

We got Navigation and a worker back.

lurker's comment:

I think you misunderstood; I was suggesting that peace with the Hittites might have been the reason that Moscow went into disorder, ie, if you were getting War Happiness from them.

 

[del62]

I guess if the Hittites approached in inter turn civ assiet would not pick it up

Anyway I have got the save

How we stand

3192 Gold

20 slaves (i think)
1 warrior
1 archer
4 musket
1 Knight
1 galleon
1 privateer
1 treb
16 ac

We can currently max at 570 science per turn with income from other currrently civs 84

deals incans 3 turns 27gpt, 6 turns 14gpt
babylon 13 turn peace treaty and 8 gpt
hittites 18 turn peace treaty
france 2 turns 7gpt, 6 turns 28gpt
vikes 19 turn peace treaty

Only decent deal would be ottomans, I would get a deal with them after medecine, industrialisation and electricity are much more expensive

We are currently at peace with everyone

Yaroslav to expand in 4
Yekantirenberg in 5 bringing coal colony into our borders

Will have French settler pairs in a teritory, who for now I will block so they cant get to furs, coal or iron areas, after the gpt deals from french run out we may consider short war, though it would be nice if someone gets military trad prior to this,

As far as techs go, I will go sanitation after medecine, then replacable parts, I think this should be followed by corporation

As far as military units non barrack cities can build artillary, this will play a big part in fending off attacks in future wars.

I will try to start tommorrow

 

[DWetzel]

The best thing to do would be to encourage the French to settle two spaces away from the resources. They'll need a temple/library to expand (corrupt small city won't do that for a goodly while), plus it will prevent other civs from settling the resources as well.

 

[Spoonwood]

The AIs LOVE to research Replacable Parts.

 

[TheOverseer714]

I agree with Spoonwood, see if we can get RP from the AI while we go Steel and Refining. If no luck, then we can backtrack and do RP, hopefully some hospitals help bring in research gold.

 

[del62]

I will give it some thouht, my preference though is still RP as the way the game has gone, war are likely and the earlier aritlliary peaces will come in handy

 

[del62]

Played my turns, no wars, Medicine and Sanitation discovered, traded electricity for gpt from ottomans and various techs, through trades we have economy, music theory, democracy and military trad, we are due corporation in 1 and all cities have hospitals

I wish I had more workers though



Unfortunately we have lost salt peter to french cultural expansion and no one seems to have spare supply,

Spoiler :

760 ad swicth rostov to colosseuum
Get sanitation down to 4 turns and 600 science by switching to sea squares

770

Ottomans have music theory, I trade electyity for music thory + 68gpt + 80 gold

780

Trade economics 9 gpt and world map from babs for steam power

790 AD

Not much lots of chauffering

800 ad

Not much babs land near furs chauffering
Sanitations -> Corporation (5 turns)


IBT Babylon place city exactly where wanted


hospitals rushed

820 AD

Harbor for novograd

820 - 830AD Golden Age Over

830 - 840AD IBT Hittites and Babylonians sign Mutual Portection Pact

Notice salt peter lost due to french expansion

840

Trade electricity + some gold with incans for milt trad
swap stuff with french for democ and sell democ to incans

850

leave woker moves for next player

We are building smiths, js bachs and magellans

We should hang on to industrialisation and medicine as monoploly techs for now, and should build knights and trbs/cannons when we can to stave off potential attacks

after smiths,js bachs and magellans are built we could trade industrialisation for natiolism possibly (without saltpeter rifles would be nice)

 

[del62]

oh We have 4 french pairs in territory that require chauffering,

 

[DWetzel]

Got it. I assume we grab Sci Method (for the sake of having it) - refining - steel -etc. up the top line, and save AT/electronics for later if possible (to grab with ToE if needed, or research later when we have more bpt).
