AK6, Revenge of The Nerds (CSC 1.22)

[romeothemonk]

Revolt immeadiatly, leave hammi with 1 city, make an AC army for the greeks.
That way we have the FP as a nice prebuild, and or the HE as a prebuild too.
Just my 2 cents.
Actually get the FP up ASAP in Taursus.

 

[ThERat]

now I remember we wanted the 20k, this we should actually rush FP immediately after GL in our 20k city? But as romeo said, an army to fight Greece sounds good too.

 

[rrau]

Yes, rush FP once GL is done.

 

[viper275]

When GL is done, rush FP.

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

I'll see how long FP takes unassisted in Tarsus and then decide on the AC army. Thanks for the ideas.

@ all - you may wish to start gathering the Kevlar, I may have an idea...

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

Tarsus doing 12spt. FP will take 17 at that rate. We're on turn 124. Rushing FP gets us less than 40 culture. We can wait.

70 (continued): build army.

IT: X wants to talk. He wants RoP and MA v. Otto. Never mind. GL finishes. Tarsus to FP. Osman building Sun Tzu.

50: Form AC army. Attack Nippur. Army kills 2 spears. Change Tarsus to HE.

IT: Learn currency, republic, feudalism, engineering. Sumeria building Sun Tzu.

30: Army takes Nippur. Found New Hattusus (already?) revolt. Should done this on the IT, but then again, I'm an idiot. Clowns everywhere. 6 turn anarchy.

10: take Sippar losing one sword. Peace with Hammi for Zariqum. Hammi now doing OCC. Gift Otto currency and construction. No new techs. Gift Hammi currency and construction. He gets Mono. Trade Hammi Feudalism for Mono.

10AD: Found New Tarsus.

30: Zariqum is 2.75% flip risk. Abandon it.

10: 1 cat, 1 3MC, 10 swords near Knossos. Galley sailing around Yalburt to settle between yalburt and Katna. Anarchy done in 3.

Go to Republic. Finish HE in Tarsus, then start FP there. Having screenie issues. We're the tech leader. Cities in the former Greek provinces are building rock throwers. Sorry I went a little long. No units have moved.

Found New Hattusus (already?)

I agree, we are huge and besides our own town we do have a lot of Bab towns as well.

I think we should get Greek out of this game and then focus on our big foes across the channel there

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

I'd like to fill in a few of the empty islands while we prep for trans-oceanic warfare.

 

[ThERat]

@AK
completely agree, that's why i was urging right from the start to settle the unclaimed land, there is a LOT left up north, more or less 2 islands

 

[romeothemonk]

Hey guys, I will need a 1-day skip/swap. I sprained my wrist really badly weightlifting today, and am having a heck of a time operating a computer. Sorry.

 

[viper275]

I don't think I could get it finished by tonight anyway, I'm okay with waiting.
@romeo: Ouch! Hope it heals quickly (I broke mine a couple months ago.)

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

Okay on a delay. I'm up in 2 others. No hurry.

 

[viper275]

If you haven't noticed, MSTK posted in the out of the pocket thread saying he'd resign all SGs. Should we stay at 5 or go nerd hunting (I'm fine either way.)

 

[romeothemonk]

I can play this one later today. I think 5 players is fine.

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

Let's run with 5 players. Thanks for the heads up, viper

 

[romeothemonk]

Early: IN anarchy..
Mid: Go to republic. We had 96 gpt in unit costs. Disband many warriors and such. Rush temple, Library, Cathedral, and Colo in Taursus. Always used a disband rush. Upgraded a lot of our troops to MDI.
Late: Start the HE in taursus. We should merge in two more workers there. Declare on greeks, raze knossos move on another city with an SoD.
Chivalry should pop soon.

 

[viper275]

Got it. Will play when I can stop playing GOTM39...

 

[ThERat]

besides fighting the Greek, I can still see northern Islands being empty. can we send more settlers up there? What's the culture of our 20k city now? any estimated date
this game will later become a MM galore I think.
@romeo, very smart to rush via disbanding

 

[romeothemonk]

The MM was pretty extensive. It will get worse. I would make sure that we mine more mountains at Taursaus and merge in 2 workers.
When we get a chance, a rushed rax and/or courthouse would be great. Or since Chivalry is coming soon, I would leave the HE and try for the KT. We should be able to stiff the greeks for some gold.

 

[viper275]

Preturn: Good. Any plans to trigger GA?
1

IBT- Learn Chivalry, switch Tarsus to KT, due in 17. Boat sinks.

6
IBT- Greeks start AoW.
7
Burn Sparta and capture Delphi.

Riots fixed. Troops outside Athens are ready to kill. Have fun, rrau.
