AK06 Eclectic

got it will play later
 
pre turn
we do have 2 alliances against Persia at the moment, but not much longer and I see persian galley, maybe go for peace soon

early
alliances with greek ends they do not want to renew it and then demand 38g
for 2 rounds cats absolutely hit nothing at istanbul and we postpone the attack to get more forces ready

France and Japan ally against us :(

Sign peace with Persia and get Lit for 4gpt
after another 2/5 round of cats, decide to attack regardless
lose 2 horses beat 4 spears, beat a king and raze city :)

middle
IT Japan finished GLib, French get KT
it's getting really tight as Japanese forces approach and Ottoman spear approaching our iron on hill (and passage to mainland)
have to heal units w/o barracks and slowly get to Iznit

late
Japan attacking full force, we need to withdraw from Ottoman :mad:
raze Iznit (there was king #5) and have to go for peace
can't get antalya but go for monarchy and engineering for 6gpt

used a horse blockage to keep settlers away from those sites we wanted to grab :D settler near Ebacorum is in place now, I feel it is best to settle there

France and Japan now talk but want money for peace. I leave it to the next player
since we have enough units to defend now, I suggest to revolt asap and get monarchy
sorry that I could not get more out of the war, but Japan didn't talk while attacking with strength :blush:

Make peace with Joan, revolt, build GS, punish perfidious Toku. (Stupid git, we bought Currency from him for 60-80 gold pieces.)

Got some nice stuff from the Ottoman wars. Finish him in twenty or so.
 
any chance to ally greece vs japan? this will let us build-up infrastructure during our GA and get our house in order for the eventual push against the greeks.
btw, good job rat :thumbsup: held on well vs the onslaught.
 
:lol:
Geez, the fingers and toes are finally out of the cast and now it's the skull!!!
 
orthopedic surgeon is drooling - I'm up in 3 :eek::lol: be patient. I'll see if Alex will stomp the shogun for a reasonable price per gram. happy new year to all.

Preflight: Peace with Joan for 20g

330: Found Cataractonium. Buy in Alex to pretty persistently punish Toku for 10gpt and 290g. Celtic Border Patrol Horse kill 2 4/4 archers and 3/4 LB.

IT: Joan and Osman ally v. X. our 2/5 horse killed by 4/4 horse. Augustorum treb > CH.

310: Alesian defense force: 4/4 horse def. 3/4 LB. 4/4 horse loses to 2/4 horse, WTH? 4/4 horse kills the 2/4; that's more like it. 4/4 archer def. 3/3 LB, promotes. 3/4 horse def. 1/4 horse. switch Agedincum to temple. Revolt.

IT: Agedincum temple > harbor. Iron volcano blows without warning. Iron is still connected.

290: 5/5 horse def. 4/4 spear.

IT: Toku and Joan ally v. Alex. 2 LB land at Richborough.

250: upgrade 4/4 warrior for 90g

IT: Richborough warrior flawlessly loses to LB. As expected it falls.

230: 4/4 GS def. 4/4 spear at Richborough. 5/5 horse def. 3/3 spear to retake Richborough

IT: 2 more LB land at Richborough.

210: 4/4 GS det. 3/3 LB at Richborough. 5/5 horse def. 4/5 LB at Verul.

IT: 3/5 GS def. 3/3 LB @ Richborough.

190:

IT: Osman & Alex ally v. Joan

170: 5/5 archer def. 3/3 spear at Lug.

150: zilch.

Entermont is pumping a GS every other turn. Ottoman frontier needs troops. Forces are spread out, need to concentrate them before going on offensive. Didn't fool with research so we could build the cash back up. It was down to 14g at one point IIRC. We could squeeze cities on the 2 dots. Will let team decide.

Yesterday :twitch: .

I'm not too sure here... Edit:
AK said:
AK
Bede
Viper (may need a replacement for the holiday's)
Grahamiam
therat
I guess Bede's up, I'm on deck.
 
@vipr, want to swap?
 
ok, let me think here (dangerous, i know) last three players were bede, therat, then ak. i guess i was up as viper suggested. either viper can play today or i will play tonight. either way, one of us will post a "got it" before playing :)

Roster (as grahamiam sees it atm)
Bede
theRat
AK
grahamiam or viper <- 1st one who calls it, takes this spot
grahamiam or viper <- the other is on deck

look ok admiral?
 
If I post a got it, that will put me up in 3 SGs, so grahamiam can take it.
 
Roster (as grahamiam sees it and AK concurs)
Bede
theRat
AK - just played
grahamiam - got it
viper - on deck

Sorry I was dilatory on roster duty
 
Preflight check: Switch Alesia from GS to Temple. We want to get some cultural builds going at the front as well :)
Look around at other stuff, but mostly just fine. Hurry the Temple in Berdigala for 32g so the chop can go to a courthouse.
Everyone is ahead of us tech-wise so I will squeeze what we need out of the ottomans on turn 6 while holding off the Japs.

IBT: Burdigala temple -> court; Alesia temple -> GS

T1: 130BC Move a couple GS’s South

IBT: Entremont GS -> GS; Richmond worker -> Temple

T2: 110BC Moving

IBT: Japan offers peace. We can’t get techs but we could get 2 workers, 67g and 9gpt. No thanks.
Verul walls -> worker

T3: 90BC Moving S still. Rush the temple in Eboracum.

IBT: Entremont GS -> GS; Eboracum temple -> court; Lug market -> GS; Camul GS -> duct.

T4: 70BC Moving S. Build an Embassy in Bursa. Ottomans have 5 pikes, a treb, a LB, and 1 king. Iron, horses, 0 lux. Building Sistine’s (0/360). Investigate Izmit, and there’s only 1 king there. 3 pikes + MDI in 2T. Investigate Konya (2 pikes, 0 kings) and Antalya (2 pikes, 0 kings, MDI in 7T)

IBT: Alesia GS -> GS; August court -> barracks

T5: 50BC Moving. Target will be Izmit, then Bursa.

IBT: France and Persia sign peace, Persia and Otto’s sign peace :(
Entremont GS -> GS

T6: 30BC Troops in Place.

IBT: Lug GS -> GS; Cataractonium temple -> archer

T7: 10BC Units are in position in the south.

IBT: refuse peace offer from Ottomans and we are at war.
Republic -> off (we will get 1st tier techs from Ottomans).
Entremont GS -> GS

T8: 10AD Near Burdigala: elite GS kills LB (3/5)

IBT: Alesia: Gs -> GS; Camul ‘duct -> GS; August barracks -> GS

T9: 30AD Lose 1 GS outside of Alesia trying to kill a spear. Redline a single MDI outside of Eboracum with cats + treb, then kill it with an elite horse.

IBT: Entremont GS -> GS; Lug GS -> GS

T10: 50AD Elite horseman kills LB outside of Catar. Bombard MDI’s outside of Eboracum, then kill them both, losing 1 GS.

Looks like the 1st wave of Otto units is gone. Next player should press into Izmit with all the arty and all the GS’s + all the available horses.. We should also take Konya and Antalya, then get techs for peace. Pillage Bursa’s horses now.
Bursa will be too tough without an army or MDI’s or tons of arty (we only have 6 or 7). We are due so keep attacking LB's and wounded units with elites.
We can buy Fued from Japan in a Peace treaty for a reasonable price, but we have 1 more turn of an MA vs them with Greece. buy it next turn or 2 for peace, then we get Invention + Mono from the Ottomans while leaving them only 1 town. Then we research guns or knights and start thinking about Greece.
 
Nice job gram.

@ grahamiam - OT: thinking of an AK07 when I finish some of my multitude SGs. Would you have any objection to Pennsyltucky - The Whiskey Rebellion as the title of my next game? I haven't given much thought to anything but the title. Don't want to plagarize too blatantly. Please advise.
