Acid_01: Emperor

[Qwack]

Wouldnt it have been better to get a pure engineer city somewhere to get 2-3 engineers over the course of the game, rather then mixing hanging gardens with some other wonders.

That was why I suggested Moscow, it has pretty good production too so yeah.

Either way, I think we need a shrine soon to support more cities, so delaying GP for longer might not be great idea.

 

[ThERat]

got it, though I am not 100% whether I am up

frankly i dont know if we'r going to need GE at all, only wonders i'd consider putting GE are Kremlin Pentagon and IW. but as long as it boosts up total GP production in one city its all good

 

[Mutineer]

In my expirience, hiring engeneer from Forge will produce GE eventially, useally soon enoght to get critical wanders.

save

1. 230AD
move on to Yaroslav
hmm Roosevelt is running around with a settler pair, would like to attack him

2. 245AD
attack Yaroslav and lose with 86% odds, this is annoying
raze the town for 30gold and 2 free workers
whip axe in St Peter for the next war against America

3. 260AD
WW sets in but Peter won't talk to us
whip market in Boston since it is unhappy anyway

4. 275AD
we get metal, go for machinery next
connect wine for more happy faces
Peter has nothing to offer for peace, might as well finish him off

5. 290AD
zzz

6. 305AD
march on the Rostov

7. 320AD
we get the message that Mansa has finished the Glib when we have only a few turns to go...
at least we will have money for research...

8. 335AD
capture Rostov the holy city of taoism and Peter is no more

9. 350AD
Roosevelt is the obvious next target, move an axe next to Chicago only defended by 1 archer

10. 365AD
machinery is done in 4, Hanging Gardens next turn
I started quite a few courts for our economy and didn't whip too much since I think we shoudl wait for maces and then

whip and attack a bigger target after taking out America

I left the units in the north unmoved for the next player to decided whether to attack or not. Chicago has 1 archer
Seattle 2, these are easy targets.

Peter dead, nice. I knew great library was a pot shot since we didn't have marble, so missing out on it isn't too bad.

This is epic, we should win comfortably before industrial age so we don't really have to worry about Kremlin or Pentagon. If we do get an engineer, I would save it for Hagia Sophia or Taj Mahal, and fire all the specialists in Karakorum. We can steal someone else's shrine and run priests there.

 

[Mutineer]

T0
Ordered cristian missionary.
Changet most of courthouses to Forges.
T5
Spread cristianity in Karokorum, ordered cristian temple.
T7
Traded alphavit +something cheap to Rosevelt for Hourseback riding and all his gold.
Declared war on him
T9 Cristian temple finished. Ordered 3rd priest, revolted to Pacifism (That save as 8 gold).
Ordered as many specialists as I can.
Idea is even if they do not produce Great person, we still collect GP points.
I am often warring in Pacifism when having a big empire.
Our cities now big, any whipes are contraprioductive, as natural production convert food into shields better. Our happiness limit with forges +17 I think.

Raised 2 his badly places Roosevelt cities, netting some gold.

Hopefully we will get prophet. GE is greatly overrited. WE will get it somewhere eventially.
Masta has allmost all tech we have, we need to hit him soon I think. But befor that I would suggest to use open borders to spread our relidion to him.

I would suggest to produce more then one gp from pacifism.

Paper in 1 turn. Suggest to do liberalism slingshot now, masta actially produce 3 GP in my turn. Music fidal.

 

[uberfish]

Mansa can't beat us to liberalism if he is dead.

We will likely have education before we spawn any more great scientists, but we could use one or two on Chemistry later. I'll be disappointed if we don't have domination before we have more than 4-5 GPs total though!

 

[acidsatyr]

I really doubt if we should waste turns to get Liberalism.. We are also running GP in every city which is a bit pointless in my opinion. We have one maceman total... Building couple of macemen would take care of HC, so we could safely shift all units toward "Masta"

 

[Mutineer]

?? I am confused. You can have war and go to liberalism. It is not contratory to each other. What else we need? We have maces.

 

[acidsatyr]

I understood that you want to wait untill Liberalism to go to war. If i missunderstood sorry.
Yes, we dont need to wait for liberalism.

 

[Mutineer]

How that can be interpret as suggestion to wait?

I am often warring in Pacifism when having a big empire.

 

[acidsatyr]

lol
i don't think i can answer that question really..
was busy so quickly went over posts.
I'm always for war as soon as possible.
anyway, did we decide what we want from liberalism once we get it?

 

[uberfish]

The whole point of going for macemen was to press the attack before liberalism

I doubt we have much of a tech lead (if any) over Mansa so it's probably safest to take nationalism, then research gunpowder normally and use a scientist to speed chemistry.

We do need engineering, drama, banking at some point but maybe we can trade for these once the 7th civ makes contact with us. Probably don't need any more than that to win this.

 

[Mutineer]

Idea of ordering forges everywhere is to produce army faster.
Most think I did was to increase our production and insure our tech lead.
We have so mach happiness we can really get bunch of muskets fast with Nationalism, insuring continues support our higly promoted maceman at that point.
People ingnoring Muskets, but they are Draftable units - practically instant production.
I would not warring about banking and other low part, as taking over our continent will insure our victory anyway.

 

[Qwack]

Im going to need a skip here, unless you guys want to wait until saturday for me to play the turns. sorry.

 

[uberfish]

We can skip if people are happy with it, at the pace we're going it'll be your turn again on Saturday Qwack.

 

[acidsatyr]

skip....SKIP????? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR M....
lol
i'm cool with that

 

[acidsatyr]

fish your next then
