AKSG-01 First Try at Prince

[Grover22]

Turn 280 AD1820 (inherited turn)

I act on Liq's suggestion for Bombay, working a workshop instead
of a mine.

I implement 83% of Liq's recommendation for Techno, hiring 5
merchants rather than 6. I keep both cottages worked, which
will allow them to mature and also allow Techno to grow at
a measurable rate. (5 turns for next growth).

I take Liq's Delhi suggestion and move off a mined grassland/hill for a
farmed floodplain. Delhi is no longer stagnant and will grow
in 5 turns.

I hit enter, and take the plunge.

Turn 281

Bug reports that Kohlapur will grow to size 10 next turn and become
unhappy. Kohlapur is still 1 under its happy cap. Can a 1 pop
growth cause +2 unhappiness?

I take Bug at its word and stagnate Kohlapur by hiring merchants.

Turn 282

Our great person is a scientist. He can bulb Sci Method.
I don't.

2 privateers die at the hands of English frigates.

AC pops up to offer Sci Method for Mil Tradition plus 315 gold.
I decline.

Churchill gets a GG

Lahore: observatory > grocer (6 turns)
Madras: bank > aqueduct (5 turns)
Bang: forge > grocer (9)

Turn 283

Another privateer dies.

Delhi: mg > mg (4)
VJ: mg > sec bureau (5)
Calcutta: grocer > market (5)

Turn 284

I settle our 2 great scientists in Delhi.

Hyd will grow into unhealthiness next turn, and I will let it. I'll
stagnate it after it grows.

Madurai: ?? > harbor (3)

Turn 285

Hyd grows into -1 unhealthiness and I stagnate it. It produces
its exec and starts a bank.

Delhi grows to size 14. I tune it for 52 hammers/turn so that
it'll crank out one exec every two turns once Hyd's exec
gets there.

Tenoch grows to size 17 and stagnates. It has -3 health.
Its grocer is due in 2 turns.

Patty: security bureau > grocer (7)

Turn 286

One privateer dies. We have 3 left.

Assembly Line comes in > Fascism in 3 turns.

Agra has 8 turns left on West Point. I add the Pentagon (27
turns) to its queue.

Mining Inc spreads to Delhi. +7 hammers, -6 commerce.

Vara: ?? > temple (2 turns)

Tlat: Maoi (finally!) > mausoleum(7)
Tlat is stagnant and at both caps.

Turn 287

Calcutta: market > library
Madras: aqueduct > barracks
Tenoch: grocer > bank
Madurai: harbor > market

Turn 288

Gilly pops up and demands that we cancel our deals with
Churchill. He's furious already, and I refuse.

Washington makes peace with Gilly and AC. Churchill is still
warring with them. Somehow I thought that Washington was a
vassal of Churchill, but I guess he wasn't.

I stagnate Agra before it grows into unhealthiness. It's still
working max hammers. Mining Inc spreads there this turn, and
the +7 hammers from that cuts West Point down from 6 turns
to 5.

Delhi: exec > exec (2)
VJ: sec bureau > infantry (3)
Vara: temple > bank
Lahore: grocer > bank

Turn 289 AD1838

Fascism comes in. We have only two choices for research,
Combustion (4 turns) or Sci Method (2 turns). I set research for
Combustion, but I'll end my set a turn early so that we can
discuss it.

Fascism gives us a GG, who moves to Bombay. He can be
settled or build a military academy there next turn.

Calcutta: barracks > rushmore (12)
Madras: barracks > infantry (7)
Hyd: bank > Wall St (14)


Going Forward

Get the worker off the boat. He's on his way back from Kohlapur.

Figure out our tech path. We haven't put any beakers into
Combustion yet, so it's free to switch now.

Figure out what to do with the GG in Bombay (probably settle there).

Build some factories.

 

[Liquidated]

hehe nice turns.. no rush on pentagon looking like eh.

ok guess england's pirate days are over... we made him scramble tho... can still dive in to gank fishing nets tho haha.
Next target is ottoman looks like as his tech is far away from getting pirate killers haha.

keep in mind will stock pile a pack of privateers so when they go obsolete well still have some fish net gankers haha.

so last hurrah on the phart haha as we nail EVERY tech before method

well 4 more turns then will trade for method.

Will play now.

Cheers!
-Liq

 

[Corneh]

I think washington broke free because he grow quite a bit during my set, tho i didnt see it happening. He captured 3 cities during my turnset

iwould put the pentagon in Delhi as agra serieusly needs to start building a military when it finishes the west point.

we also need to discuss what to research after sci meth

we can go for biology supercharging our SE with more food and then medicine for sid's sushi

we could also go for physics (is the Gsci still available?) electricity industrialism getting us tanks and marines!

Both path's seem nice and helpfull

 

[Liquidated]

Rome has physics from long ago... communism as well. he was still researching chemisty last I checked

Too tired to Play with photoshop but well the good news

iwould put the pentagon in Delhi as agra seriously needs to start building a military when it finishes the west point.

Well delhi was too busy spamming mining inc execs to bother with wonders.... so guess the town that is building the pentagon? hahaha doubt anyone will get it.

we can go for biology supercharging our SE with more food and then medicine for sid's sushi

33% chance Liq gets lucky on the GP's again.

No discussion required regarding tech path

I'll post the turn set after some sleep but here's the save. Boring turnset to be honest so not like you must read it to play Corneh.

Same deal btw... drop all to pop a sid's exec in hydra and then shuttle it to monty's capital first. It has globe so the amazing about of food isn;t gonna kill it haha. Obviously we cannot spam sid;s as freely as mining inc.

Also, Liq votes national park in VJ in a few turns hahaha. it will have insane happy to take full advantage of sid's .. GP farm number three!!!

I'll post the normal fun filled report after Liq drops comatose for a few hours.


Btw before tanks I say radio... 3 major wonders there for us.

Cheers!
-Liq

 

[Corneh]

Got it im not sure ill be able to play today tho.

 

[Liquidated]

Effing photobucket is acting up again, the server holding my account seems to not want to load for me.

Well boring turns and only about 4 screens to upload.

preturn: hehe every turn set the techs drop in turns req hehe. 4 turn combustion haha was 6 last time I was up and that's 4 turns at 115 gold per turn, could knock it down to 3 if wanted if I jacked science up 50% to 100.

notice madurai has the wrong religion haha will correct that.

And yeah Washington broke out of vassal hood from England ... not too sure when but it might have been a long time ago as Washington wasn;t madly trading england techs every turn.

tenoch is already 22% merchant, nice. looking like a 1 in 3 chance of a merchant this round with 90+% next round.

In the interest of keeping Agra focused on military, I move pentagon work over to... VJ???? Haha respectable hammers from this place now with mills. 28 turns so overall only loses 2 turns off of 4+22 in agra. Oh and it gets exe'ed next turn!

I see Washington is STILL researching steel?

Bombay indeed gets Patton embedded as the most critical unit to land with 10 + exp are transports (and carriers) so we get the native 7 +1 speed out of them. For next GG, embed him in Bombay as well to nail effortless transports.

So hard to tell what's railed and what isn;t... sigh. I'll run some basic goto loops to make certain then let the workers go auto rail.


slot a few fast monestaries as they are about to go obsolete


[1]1840 AD
hehe 6 gold from blockading suiman.

we have some hindu mehwtf temples we can build for 3 fast happy btw. I choose Calcutta for one, 4 turns so slot it just before rushmore to move it's happy cap up


[2]1842 AD
hmm Hinduism spreads somewhere in ottoland haha... finally.

VJ lands mining inc and pentagon goes from 26 turns to 22 haha. Major corporation.

Dial up england and trade our incense for his copper... 8 hammers for the corp!

Bombay gets mining inc'ed as well. IW down to 4 turns now.

[3]1844 AD
I cannot see anymore rail lines needed so I start to auto rail the workers.

One of these turns England cancels our fish and clams deal for 18 gold a turn haha fine we want em for sid's sushi.

[4]1846 AD

Suiman now wants too much for scientific method so I say eff it and spend 2 turns on it... also lets me finish a buddist monestary and get techno's GP before phart goes poof..

HAHHAHA can sign a defensive pact with Churchill, I guess that means the war is over this turn.

West point comes in and soooooooooooo a factory in 4. Health issues incoming!

And finally the peace horns sound from England's war.. judging by the power curve no idea why england isn;t steamrolling Rome.

patty starts cranking out the pirates again, 2 turns but obsolete soon.

oh and yeah suiman is spreading hinduism some more.

[5]1848 AD
Calcutta finishes the hindu mendiwtf for 3 happys yay! Better than even a happytime jail and it has that already!!! Party time in the Cutta! Rushmore in 13... wait there's a mining exe wanting to speak to the gov... 10 turns!!! Guess you could say The Cutta is feeling a rush while getting hammered and they don;t mine(ing inc)?

ok nevermind. nothing to see here.


And Mad town finally gets hinduized. It can spam buddism if we ever go back to free as it squeezed in a monestary.
31% great merchant next turn...

[6]1848 AD

ok, bye phart!, we hardly knew ya!

oh do we have oil?

yap and it's hooked up already!

Lashore is another happy cap issue... damned fishies! Gets a Hindu mehwtf as well 6 turns. Just in time before it grows unhappy.

Only Rome has physics and he's not trading... So we sic the specs on the case!

but before I select physics.... I check techno's GP trap.

and YAY!!!!!!! the 33% Merchant!

ok no doubt about it, biology and medicine next... that merchant is for Sid's sushi talking 7+ food free

Red cross goes into Bombay BTW.

Patty gets mining inc'd but Dehli takes a break to push out a 4 turn factory. Need to find another mining inc exe pusher!

move science to 90% to get bio in 4... -147 a turn isn;t bad

oh and how bad is missing the phart? An ugly 9 turns on delhi's next GP lol. Nice to have 2 gp farms with a 3rd easily made out of VJ in a second...

And sadly no more privateers hehe. Build auto upgraded patty's pirate into a destroyer.

[8]1852 AD
Ironworks comes online in Bombay so goes for a mining exe spam fest to pick up the slack from dehli. A one turn mining exe, pull my arm.

[10]1856 AD
Patty offloads the first destroyer... I set it up on patrol near the SW fishies just in case anyone thinks about getting frisky with sid's sushi products.

[11]1858 AD

Farms are +1 food now and do not need irrigation... so farm those ugly plains near patty maybe? VJ is close to happy cap so took work off some farms.

medicine in 6 at 50% research +100 ish gold.

After pentagon is done, honestly say go national park and preserve all those forests. That's 9+ free specs from the get go and we can clear out a few of those farms to encourage more. That makes a third major gp farm for us and with sids, will grow to enormous size due to all the happy and health.

Oh and it gives the worker army one last task to do before the dreaded hibernation

The great merchant is for sid's Sushi in hydra. It's all set up and ready to go. Each instance of this
corp nets us an amazing amount of food... so be very careful where it spreads. Dehli shows 5 fish 6 clams 3 rice 0 crabs... 7 food per instance of the corp... sick. Spam an exe to tenoh first as it has the globe to suck up unhappys and will act as an exe pump just fine.

As an aside... first target is suiman. Just from a corporate view, his core lands are worth
2 iron +1 copper +1 silver for 50% more hammers from mining inc (8 + 4 =12)

5 fishies for (14 +5)/2 food from sids!

Don;t honestly even need tanks for him btw he doesn;t even have gun powder haha so might as well start on his invasion now.

Only town to make transports is bombay... no other town makes transports.

Pump out about 8ish transports promoted to 6+1 speed (by spending first rank on flanking) from bombay and work patty etc on a set of escort destroyers. Destroyers and Battleships do not need heavy starting exp, transports and aircraft carriers do.

Need cannon to bust down walls of the two inner cities and just pown suiman with massed infantry remembering to upgrade all those cr maces.

All but 2 of his cities are port towns so destroyers will be the bulk of the bombard. Abusing the coastal nature of his iisland, instead of loading transports full, aim for balanced town killing/holding forces that move around via the waterways. MG's are still the best city garrison unit btw so mix some of those into maybe a dedicated transport system for clean up.

Revolt to police state from the get go, As this will be a one war wiping of the Ottoman Empire's home island.

Pick a single town for the HQ and for every city we capture, do not raze it. Plunk 2 mg's into it once his main stack of trash is gassed and get ready to let it all go. We really do not want to keep these towns for too long so start splitting them off as our colony once they exit revolt and pop borders, gifting the towns their MG garrison. Having a few sid's and mining exe's ready for this is not a bad idea for his capital at least. set the free spec to artist hehe.

Do not let suiman capitulate, we want to completely wipe him off the face of the earth and colonize his island.

Bastard shouldn;t have picked a fight with Gandhi!

Back to the peaceful side hehe...

England and the US are still running merc so no reason to change out of merc ourselves nor even tink about sending exe's over to them.

Health is a huge issue so spam hospitals right after factories when medicine comes in. When we get enough hospitals up, plunk red cross into Bombay.

Next two techs after medicine are...

physics-> Electricity (build Broadway)

From there we have a choice, industrialism is tanks finally and aluminum to help power up mining inc Other choice is radio as it opens three important wonders... Eiffel tower hit singles and the cristo redwtf.

I'd vote radio as we really want those wonders but tanks are tanks are tanks!1!!!. Lets see how the tech is at that point.


save posted above.

Cheers!

[Liquidated]

oh some mm I noticed hehe.

I'd forgotten that factories add 2 eng specs so places like agra can ditch their priests etc and go eng. Keep in mind Delhi is all about scientists, otherwise can plunk engs all around hehe.

Oh and bombay can take back it's wheat from madras hehe.

Our base economy at 50% is about the same beakers as our specs so we managed to drag our selves out of that hole hahah.

Oh there's a few English ships eyeing our privateer Sw of England proper. I'd run his butt away far away and blockcade suiman haha.

Cheers!
-Liq

 

[Liquidated]

hehe ok it's been a few days now, you ok corneh?

Well grover if you are around, feel free to post a got it and go for it... when corneh wakes up he can pick up anywhere.

Silver is out of town for 3 more days at the least so lets get the next war setup.

Cheers!
-Liq

 

[S.ilver]

Looks like you guys are rolling along pretty nicely. Still out of town, and the internet connection is VERY SLOW, so I won't be able to play, but a few comments.

I think Mining and Sid's only give 1 hammer/food per 2 resources (depending on map size), so we'll be only getting 7 food from Sid's. Still nothing to sneeze at though.

Washington probably broke away from Churchill because he was a voluntary vassal (and probably tired of all the DoWs on Rome). Not a huge deal. Just means that Rome and Gilga will last a bit longer, lol.

 

[Liquidated]

ok we'll split it 50 50 silver.

Mining Inc.
Technology Required - Corporation and Railroad
Great Person Required - Great Engineer
Resources Required - Coal, Iron, Copper, Gold, Silver
Benefits Awarded - +1 Production for per Resource Consumed
City with Company Generates - +5 Gold per City
Competes With - Aluminum Co, Creative Constructions, Civilized Jewelers Inc
More Likely to Generate - Great Engineer


Sid's Sushi Co.
Technology Required - Corporation and Medicine
Great Person Required - Great Merchant
Resources Required - Crab, Clam, Fish, Rice
Benefits Awarded - +0.5 Food per Resource Consumed, +2 Culture per Resource Consumed
City with Company Generates - +5 Gold per City

More Likely to Generate - Great Merchant

Both Corps are major.

Cheers!

[Corneh]

sorry guys fir being MIA had a busy weekend and i might be ab le to play tonight if anyone else can play be4 that by all means go for it else ill post later today if i can play

 

[Grover22]

I could take a turn tonight after work, roughly 12 hours from now, if nobody else wants in first.

Corneh?
Akk?

 

[Corneh]

please be my guest i wont be able to play till tomorrow anyway

Sorry for holding the game up but i didnt expect to get it back the day after i played. I had a busier weekend than i expected damn RL. After this week ill be able to play alot more

 

[Liquidated]

Well good time for a stall as silver is out of town still.

Time to prep a fleet and some infantry.. tenoch is all set for a one city draft machine... don;t bother to waste the population of our other fine towns.

pushing out mass destroyers from bombay first and garrison MG's Agra is good til pentagon comes in btw. Try not to make any transports until we can get 10 exp ships if possible (via a civic change and pentagon). If you do, rename them as tugboats or something hehe.

Cheers!
-Liq

 

[Grover22]

Alright, I took a short turn because we've had an outbreak of unhappiness and
I wanted someone else (Liq?) to put it right.

We are not at war.
We have just started Physics, and we have a Great Scientist who can
bulb it.
We have founded Sid's but we haven't spread it anywhere yet.

A MG and an exec have just made it to our island city. Remember to take
them off the galleon there.

Turn 299 AD1858 [inherited turn]

Medicine is due in 6.

8 towns still don't have Mining Inc.
We have 1 executive en route. We need 7 more just to spread to
the cities we already have.

13 turns remain on Pentagon in VJ.

Turn 300

Caesar adopts Emancipation, and Agra and Lahore become
-1 unhappy even though they did not grow. I think their
unhappiness from Emancipation increased, but I'm not sure.

Bombay finishes MI exec. He spreads the corp to Madras.
Bombay starts another exec.

An inherited MI exec spreads the corp to Vara.

Agra finishes a MG. It fortifies in Lahore.
Agra starts a 2 turn market to get back to 0 unhappiness.

Lahore queues up a 6 turn market for the same reason, to
start after it finishes its Hindu Mandir next turn.

The Great Merchant reaches Hyderabad, but we need Medicine
before we can found Sid's Sushi. So he waits.

Turn 301

I guess Lahore's market wasn't need for the happiness. It got
+2 happy from the Mandir, and that was enough.

Agra is still at -1, but its market finishes this turn.

Tenoch (stagnant) finishes bank and starts market.

Delhi finishes something and starts Mandir. Bug reports that
it will grow into unhappiness next turn, so I stagnate it.

Bombay is just going to crank out execs until we're completely
spread.

Turn 302

We lose a privateer to a Sumerian frigate.

Random Event: A fire in Agra. I pay 176 gold to keep the factory.

Madurai finishes a factory and is at -2 health. It's starving. It
starts a grocer (4 turns).

Agra (stagnant) finishes its market and is at 0 happiness again.
It starts a MG.

Turn 303

Hyderabad: Wall St > market (4 turns)
Agra: MG > MG (1 turn)
Bombay exec > exec (1 turn)

VJ will become both unhappy and unhealthy if it grows next turn.
I stagnate it without sacrificing any hammers towards Pentagon.

We are at 50% research and +162gpt (thanks, Wall St!). 2 turns
to Medicine. Setting research to 100% does not save us a turn,
so I leave it at 50%.

Turn 304

Suleiman (cautious) pops up to demand Chemistry. I tell him
to go soak.

Delhi pops a Great Scientist. He wants to bulb Physics. We will
start that next turn, and I'll use him for the bulb then.

Agra: MG > MG
Delhi: Mandir > exec
Bombay: exec > factory
Patty: factory > aqueduct
Calcutta: Rusmore > factory

Turn 305 AD1870

Medicine comes in. I start Physics, 5 turns, 0/5720.
The GS can contribute 2130 bulbs. (That's up from
2121 bulbs he could give last turn. He's getting better with
age?) I'll save him until we're a turn away from 4600 or so.

Sid's is founded in Hyderabad: +7 food, -8 gold.

Suleiman adopts Emancipation and we have a whole mess
of unhappy towns now, 6 in all. Several unhealthy towns, too.

Vara: ?? > hospital
Agra: MG > MG

Things are messy enough that I decide to let Liq straighten
them out again.

 

[Liquidated]

wow yeah that's bad, seems we must go emance until we can nail all those happy wonders. The +2 happy from barracks is nothing compared to the -3 -4 from emance.

Got it.

Cheers!
-Liq

 

[Liquidated]

finally finished turns but need some sleep before posting turnset..

Didn;t build up much offensive military but managed to land mg pairs in all of the southern towns and towards the east.

Our economy was fine from turn 0 as emance was costing us 6 to 7 unhappys in every town.

Rome gave us a gift, England got it's vassal back, liq put a golden age to good use , and sid's is done getting corps pumped out with 2x exe's on route to the last towns .

Oh and Liq went wonderlust.

Cheers!
-Liq

 

[AkK47]

im here im here

really sorry for not posting all this time, but im still having problems with my patch, it says its corrupt or something

will be reading and trying to catch up on what has been going on, but i guess im too late for it now

 

[Liquidated]

wow turns took what 4 hours then the report took uh.. well niece has been trying to kick me off my pc for a few hours now hahah.

Preturn: yeah ok things are ugly hehehe. first off sick cites all need hospitals so Delhi moves off exe for now. 2 turn hospital is +3 to Delhi's -4 health =/

patty has 1 turn on an aqueduct so slot a 4 turn hospital next. etc etc etc lot of hospitals going up.

as for all the angry people?

hehe that's why people are pissed hehe. So well no more caste system as emance is crippling us hahaha... this is ugly. Our need for caste is over anyway as the mid game buildings raise the cap on specs.

Everyone is running merc still so no point for us leaving merc as well.

Revolt to emance and all unhappy is gone.

Agra for example went from 1 angry to 5(!) under happy cap hehe.. need to fix specs... the nice thing is we are now past needing anyone type of great person and well buildings alone lets Delhi keep running max 6(!) scientists.

Physics still in 5 turns at 50% but we lose 3 gold a turn now only +148!!!!!!!!!! zomg?

Tenoch is limited to 2 merchants currently but 3 spies and an engineer is fine. Lost a few gold a turn hiring more spies hehe. About 30 more spy points a turn now

I place hydra on a sids exe in 3 to get the riceball rolling. We suddenly have lots of happy cap so we have room to grow now hehe. By the end of this turnset, All towns will have sids and mining.

We have a ton of spy points to spend on Rome so gonna ship a few spies to AC to steal Communism hehe - how ironic. Manage to sneak in 2 spy builds and a hindu missionary for el galleon!

VJ of all places is 6 turns from a non scientist GP so thinking golden age soon if not an engineer.

Drop the mg and mining exe off in kol.. hehe that town has 5 native hammers to mining inc's 8ish rofl. It's suddenly going to go BOOM with new buildings!

[1]1872 AD
Omg 6 gold from privateers still WTH, how are any still living haha. Needless to say, the moment frigates show up, it's game over for privateers hehe.

Washington goes free market, not like there's anyone to trade with... boggle.

Lots of crap builds, I slot lots of crap to replace it! With Mining Inc and Sids incoming, all towns can use most types of buildings.

kol gets a major effing boost from mining inc hehe.. 5 -> 13 hammers haha. Courthouse next turn will save 10 gold a turn and the forge slotted afterwards went from 24 to 10 turns.

mad town gets mining inc, one town left...

Only Forgotten Lashore needs mining inc btw so Delhi is pushing out the last exe. Do not spread this corp outside

Put a 2 turn hospital before the factory in Bombay. Health is going to be a major issue period across all towns.

Relatively quiet turn otherwise.

[2]1874 AD
Washington wants to trade his gold for our oil.. I debate it and think well he's gonna get it from england anyway, so lets take the gold as it's happy AND hammers. Mining Inc is now 11 hammers and going up in a sec!

A fearless privateer fends off two of Suimans's caverals hehe... Run of to heal.

Agra has it's hospital and is still -1 health hehe.. well back to machine guns haha.

Delhi nails it's last mining exe so sneaks in a hospital before it starts spamming sid exes, two turns to Lashore.

Time to pimp Mining Inc!
Trade our gems for England's coal
Trade our sugar for Suimans iron

So mining inc is now worth 13 hammers. Seems I nailed the 11 hammers screen not the 13...p0

In other news...

We send out a care package to AC


[3]1876 AD
Sid's exe is born and spreads to Delhi! Time to blitz the holy crap out of sids!...will start cranking sid exe's out after hospital finishes next turn.

Suimans caverals are chasing down our innocent privateer so he runs away, punking an ocean going workboat from Rome.

Finances down to 109 a turn hehe. Market next turn in hydra.

[4]1878 AD
hehe finances up to 132 a turn hehe. Thanks market! Hydra gets a grocer in 3.

Delhi is spitting out chain Sids, first goes to tlac as it's having food issues and then Bombay and patty, otherwise too many to mention.

[5]1880 AD

ahh air ships and battleships hehe..
Electricity in... 5 turns at -96 gold a turn... we have 800 gold so go for it.

We have nuke power x3, vj's is on a farmed plains, mad town's is on a grassland forest (no way) and patty's is on a grass farm. Just going to mine VJ's lost the screens in a bit of overzealous file cleaning.

[6]1882 AD
ok well a lot..

First we get

For a guilt free golden age!

Washington becomes England's vassal again sigh.

Spies are now sleeping in Rome and AC gets Hinduized... he;s running a lot of religions so expect him to spread it maybe.

Bombay is due red cross in... 5 golden years. Hehe medic transports anyone?

Next GP is from effing Lashore (WTH?) in 13ish years, 60% spy, 40% WTH Dehli is also about to pop a gp so expect another flood of fancy dress people soon. Love phil; have GP's coming out of the wood work.

Electricity is now due in 4 turns running 60% science and a 154 gp a turn profit. 3 turns isn't sustainable, I checked hehe.

[7]1884 AD

yay!

3 towns go healthy from hospital builds and VJ goes for another in 2. They will be sick again as soon as Sids arrives. Hot tuna no doubt.

Fitting out towns with mg's from Agra which are now a new and improved 11 exp hehe.

Suiman has frigates out in force now soooo hehehe, privateer stays put for now. The privateer camped out near his island town by england is still punking it for 3 gold a turn.

Delhi and patty are spitting out a Sid's exe per turn now for mass coverage.

[8]1886 AD
Bombay gets sid's as planned but it's hands are too full to spam exes, otherwise quiet.

[9]1888 AD

Hydra celebrates we love gandhi day and our finances spike...

[10]1890 AD

Start VJ on a 10 golden turn Broadway.

research goes to radio in 5 golden years at 70% research... -163 gold a turn except that we have 1500 gold to blow haha.

Hydra celebrates we love gandhi day again... Gandhi loves Hydra!

[11]1892 AD
Red Cross builds in Bombay and it's time for some action... start pumping out a few destroyers to start.

[12]1894 AD
Sid's all over the place... honest!

[13]1886 AD
last turn of golden age =/ Lots of builds finishing.

[14]1898 AD
Golden Age over, radio in one and time to divvy out wonders!

[15]1900 AD
We go..

Over

And set beakers to Tanks! .. I mean industrialism! Set at 60% science +56ish gold a turn 7 turns, tweakable.

Lots of wonders here to get to.

VJ is set for Broadway in 7 turns, +1 happy base + 4 trade bait
Delhi gets rock and roll in 8 turns, +1 happy base + 4 trade bait.
Bombay is set to build the Eiffel tower in 7 turns, which acts like a free broadcast tower in all towns (even our island paradise!). Broadcast towers are +1 happy per 10% culture slider akin to theaters but also add a happy for each of the hit's we have... so with all 3 wonders building, that's +4 happy in each town. Hollywood is a 3rd happy after mass media for the final +2 happy btw.

Agra is off military to push out the Cristo Redentor.. which acts like the spiritual trait with less wait between changes.. Broken good wonder for non spiritual leaders but we get 2x hammers on it. Nice wonder for us for sure and fast so at least denial to the other civs.

I made one slow transport to replace our long standing kol ferry. When it comes time to spam transports, switch to vassalage and just blitz 10 exp units for the +2 speed promotion.

Sid's has two last auto paths going to tenoch and Lashore (always the last=/), assuming they both take, we need no more execs. During my turn one Sids was actually refused akin to how a religion would.

A ton of infrastructure was finished, a round of hospitals, pentagon/red cross, and Hydra finished all it's cash+ buildings as well.

Safe to start spitting out infantry, airships and destroyers from any town that's free. Wait until Bombay is done with it's wonder to revolt to vassalage and pump out transports.

Agra is going to be finished with wonder, and moving to perma tanks, the same turn industrialism is slated to come in.

oh wait! what was that gift Rome gave us Liq???

Noticed Rome's random town our spy was chillin in was building a spy center so bit the bullet and...

no diplo hit, he doubtless blames england.

Other spy is on auto path to Atlanta as we can steal flight in about 10 turns maybe hehe.

Might want to mess with the spy sliders as I bulked up on Rome to snag the tech

When all these hit wonders come in.. try and snag as many hard metals and health resources as you can..

Just looking at England's trades I see sheep corn and banana which would be like 5 health right now, major for us.

Cheers!

Technically silver is up next but if someone wants to snag the save before he posts, go for it.

Back. Flight was delayed for 2 hours; thank you, brilliant air traffic control at McCarren International...

I see I'm up here. I can play the save tomorrow after I get back from lectures, and that will give me some time to catch up on what's been going on. If someone wants to grab it beforehand, be my guest. Otherwise, expect report in about 24 hours.
