AK5, Rule of the idiots

[Admiral Kutzov]

4000: worker SW, settler S. Find forest, hill and plains. No fresh water.

3950: blind squirel finds acorn, idiots found Berlin. Start the Hessian Horde. Research to zero where it shall stay. Research goal is CB so if get lucky on a hut, we won't learn it.

3750:

IT: Hessian done, start another.

3550:

IT: See above.

3450: Hessian idiots disturb the Seljuks, gloriously ignoring their NO TRESPASSING sign

3400: Vetern Hessian kills Seljuk

3350

IT: Berlin warrior > settler

3300: sight green borders. Check F10. Probably Aztec or Japanese.

3250: Vetern Hessian kills last of the Seljuks (see oral history by Mr. Cooper's less famous little brother, we're idiots and have not figured out writing as yet)

3050: Find access to fresh water (green dot)

3000: Done. Worker has a move left.

Suggest blue then red. Suggest settler then more warriors at Berlin. After second settler, chop a forest at Berlin and build a rax. After rax built, alternate archers and settlers. Open to suggestions. Not sure we need to do ICS. We should aggressively target Monte for pointy stick. Willing to pay a small premium for IW when available. Then need to connect iron asap. I'll try to get a screenie up later tonight.

If no objections from the team, welcome aboard allin1joe

Do I take it there is a dot map to follow, or am I missing something

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

Sorry for the delay. Think I mentioned the wrong colors in my original post. The dot map should be self explanatory.

 

[allin1joe]

I'd like to suggest getting a Curragh in our build orders. Sailing around the continent to get contacts is immensly easier then trying to walk across it with warriors. The sooner we meet people, the sooner we can start brokering.

I have no issues with the dot map.

Agree, but as idiots, we have to be able to read before we can get our boat operators permit. Aztecs didn't have Alpha last time I checked.

Archers will keep the more intelligent people at bay until we can bully them into giving us their lunch money and techs.

F51 is on the clock.

 

[doc mabuse]

Our goal is to find all the parts to make ourselves complete (since one is not a complete idiot until all required parts are found and installed)

Admiral Kutzov

What exactly is our victory aim? Dominaton and conquest would require an ICS.
Cultural and diplomatic an OCP, i think

when are we complete or was that idiotic rabble, o great leader?

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

@ team - what VC do we want? my votes for conq. dom. or diplo. Since we are barbaric sorta, cultural is out

 

[viper275]

A little early to decide (we'll have to see how it goes) but Conquest seems quite doable on a small world map.

Dotmap: A little loose in spacing between green and blue but it should be okay. Maybe one 3 SW of blue depending on land? Still probably important to expand in the direction of the dotmap or the Aztecs will get that land.

Aztecs as a nextdoor neighbor means we need archers. I think we can pull off one of those early rushes if we want to do so. We could also get swordsmen and I doubt their jaguar warriors would stand a chance.

 

[allin1joe]

Conquest seems the best option, but we'll have to see how the game progresses. I think only cultural and space race are out (will be tough to win space race when we don't get the techs until others do).

Like the idea of an archer rush with pointy stick.

BTW, although I didn't put it in my post, I did an F10 on the opponents and we're the only scientific civ.

The green/blue spacing is loose to get us to the river.

Really need water and iron.

@ viper, F51 has about 3 hours left for a got it. If no post, take it away.

 

[doc mabuse]

Did someone ever hear of idiotic barbarians with a tendency to be diplomatic?

 

[viper275]

Not me.

I suppose got it for me?

 

[viper275]

Played my turnset. The summary is longer than the events
4
Being idiots, we have no problem disturbing some barbs, which is what happens.
5
Leipzig founded.

Aztecs are up Pottery and The Wheel but want gpt. IMO we need to expand fast and we can take away Aztec expansion to the southwest. I guess we should build archers and destroy the Aztecs (but not until we contacted someone else)?
Edit: Attaching/uploading image didn't work, no screenie for now.

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

DocM on the clock, Allin1joe on deck.
[/QUOTE]idiotic barbarians with a tendency to be diplomatic

 

[allin1joe]

So DocM is up with me on deck, correct?

Now that's timing

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

Confirmed. Doc's up, you're on deck. Any deep strategic like thoughts. If F51 doesn't check in by the next time he's due up, I'll go look for an additional idiot.

 

[doc mabuse]

Sorry for the inconvenience guys but i'm out of pc for at least two months, so consider me out of the game

 

[allin1joe]

Ok, then, I got it. I'll play tonight focusing on expanding and archers.

 

[Formula51]

Nuts, I'm sorry for not posting that I was away for the weekend, everything got screwed up.

That sucks docm, hope you'll be back sooner.

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

stop in when you're back Doc. I hope this doesn't take two months to finish. allin's up, F51 on deck. Probably should discuss strategy after allin's turns.
