BTW, my plan is to take Tatuang, then go straight for the GL after units heal. Please post comments before I actually get to that turn .

 

[Belial]

If you can take the GL, then I'm all for any way possible.

However, that city will be heavily defended so bring unit after unit after unit... and if you think you have enough, bring more.

Preturn- Ok, I love this part of the game! Nice setup CF, you made our 2-rings of cities we was hopeing for!! I'm going straight for the GL after we take Shatung. If you notice, most of the civs already have railroads! If we dont get the GL, then we should might as well forget about this game. We could be making 220gpt, instead of 182gpt if our lux. tax was at 0%. It is at 10% only for two cities!! Delhi and Bangalore, no good! We need some serious infastructure in our cities. We have two cities with spices, that are not connected. And why is there about 6 War Elephants in Mongolia??? I will use them to attack Canton and go for the GL on that side also. I see no other use for our gold so I will try to upgrade as much Horseys as possible. I upgrade both Redined Horseys in Ulaanbaatar to Elepahnts for 160g. They are also fully healed and ready for battle. At this rate, we will be able to upgrade 2 Horseys a turn. I make some Territory Map for World Map deals with everyone. Pressed Enter.

1. Japan and Babylon sign Peace. Korea takes Tsingtao from China. China moves one Longbow ajacent to our iron Garrison. Delhi; Pike> Pike. Madras; Duct> Pike. Calcutta; Elephant> Elephant. Bangal; Cat> Cat. Chittatong; Pike> Pike. I move two catapults near the longbow and attack takeing away 1 Hit Point. I then attack with one newly upgraded Elephant and WIN, takeing no damage! The two Elephants garrisoned on Korea's Iron has no need to be there sinse they took the position. I moved them to stack on Canton. I ungarrison some Elephants in our core to move to front line. I dont see much horseys to upgrade so I rush the temple in Punjab to attack China's culture in Tiensin for 112g. Though I upgrade one Horsey, findng out that most of them were garrisoned in Ta-Tu. I also move some more Horseys garrisonedall the way in Bombay, why was it there???

2. Japan and Zululand make peace. China moves a Settler/Musket pair near Mongolia but Korean Stack is right there so I dont even bother. Delhi; Pike> Pike. Bombay; Duct> Market. Punjab; Temple> Barracks. Jaipur; expands. I move an Elephant near Tatung to find out that its garrisoned by a Riflemen!! Noooo goood!! It will take about 2 more turns for us to get 7 more Elephants in attack position. We will then have 14 to attack. So it will take an estimated 6 turns to attack the GL without healing, I dont know, this isnt looking good. Canton is defended by a Musket. Theres no reason in attacking it so I will move it straight to the GL. BTW, thats a stack of seven Elephants, so it will make an estimated 21 elephants to attack the GL, if there is no casualties in Tatung. If we skip attacking Tatung then both stacks will arraive at the GL around the same time, saving us alot of time and units. We will skip attacking Tatung and go straight for the GL, we know we wont keep it but if we keep it for one turn only, then its good enough. I'm about to take out Zachriel's Battle Calculater. I upgrade two more Horseys in Ta-Tu for 160g. I trade the Zulu our WM for 1g giving us excactly enough to rush a Spear in Ta-Tu.

3. Canton garrisons another Musket, we're not attacking. Delhi; Pike> Cathedral (its just that city thats stopping us from putting our lux. tax to 0%).Ta-Tu; Spear> Worker. Madras; Pike> Pike. Ulaanbaatat; Pike> Pike. Karachi; Eephant> Elephant. Hyberade; Cat> Library. Bengal; Cat> Cat. We have 25 Elephants and 21 of them are in frontline. Elite Horsey dies attacking Kaifing. Its a spear!! We shall move our units next turn from our Western Coast. I upgrade 2 Horseys for 160g in Ulaanbaatar.

4. China moves one Rifle near our eastern stack of Elephants. Lahore; Elephant> Elephant. Yangchow; Temple> Library. I move all units from Xingzan leaving it with one Elite Horsey and a Pike and a MI. I attack Kaifing and win it damaging both that attacked.
Move in some units to attack Shatung, defended by a pike.

5. China attacks us with Rifle and we win taking on one damage!! Ta-Tu revolts back to the Mongols!!!! Macao Revolts back to the Chinese!!! Xigzan goes in disorder!! Madras; Pike> Pike. Bangalore; Elephant> Elephant. Calcutta; Elephant> Elephant. Bengal; Cat> Cat. I attack Macao defended by a Rifle with only one Elephant nearby and WIN takeing no damage!! We attack Shatung takeing in two casualties and killing one pike and a spear. The still have about two left. We attack the GL in two more turns. In the Demographs we are 1 in Production. Meaning that we are capable to build a mass force faster than our opponents, nice fact huh . China is in a Republic, they wasnt hit by WW yet though .

 

[amirsan]

6. Otts request our WM and another 140g for thier WM, nooo way, is he smoking something?? One of our leading Horseys get attacked by a Longbow but retreats, then another Longbow come and attacks from the other sode killing it. Delhi; Cathedral> Library (I thnk its time to start infastructure ) Chittatong; Pike> Library. Ok, there are 3 Longbows in attacking position, I will only attack what is needed to take position. I attack Shatung winning it with no casualties. We just need Tiensin to solidify our border . Upgrade one Horsey. I attack longbow on Mountain and win takeing no damage. I attack another takeing two damage but clearing our move to the mountaines for the attack on the GL. We have 30 Elephants!!! And a strong military against China!!! I change all queues from Elephants to Libraries.

7. Madras; Pike> Library. Fukushuma; Cat> Library. Bengal; Cat> Library. Ok, ready for attack, this is scary, I'm peeing in my pants (ok, not that nervous ) Here it goes...
Vet. Elep. vs. Rifle= Retreat giving one damage.
"same"= Dies giving one damage.
Elite Elep. vs Musket= Retreat giving one damage.
"same"= WIN takeing 3 damage!
Vet. Elep. vs Musket= Dies redlineing the enemy.
Vet. Elep. vs Rifle= WIN Takeing one damage!
"same"= LOSE upgradeing the enemy to vet
"same"= Retreat takeing only one damage from enemy.
"same"= WIN takeing no damage!!
Vet. Elep vs Redlined Musket= WIN!! Redlineing us.
Vet. Elep vs Longbow wins giving us the city!!!!!!!!!
6 Resistors!! I move most elephants into city leaving some healthy one out of the city incase of flip. I attack nearby Longbow winning takeing one damage.

8. Hmmmmmmmm... Babylonian Cavalry move in our territory??? What are they planning?? Japan asks for alliance vs Mongols, I disagree. Woooooooooooooowww!! We got;
Theology
Invention
Printing Press
Music Theory
Education (GL rendered obsolete huh??)
Gunpowder
Banking
Astronomy
Chemistry
Democracy
Economics
Navigation
Physics
Metallurgy
Free Artistry
Theory of Gravity
(New Age)
Magnetism
Military Trad.
Nationalism
Steam Power
Medicine
Communism
Industrailisation
23 TECHS!!!!
The Beijing goes in disorder. Bombay; Market> Library. WE CAN BUILD THE IRON WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!! Though in Punjab, maybe a FP?? Lahore; Library> Bank. Karachi; Market. Babs start Universal. Now this starts our true Golden Age . I attack a Rifle in Tatung for no reason and win. I capture Tiensin with no casualties!! Ok I check if theres any deals available, Korea has the Coporation and doesnt want to trade. Japan is at Chemistry. Mongols is at Monothiesm. Zulu's are at Military Trad. The Otts are at Industrailization. And Baylon is at Tech Parity with us. I give Babylon an RoP with WM, 80g and 3gpt to keep the peace. We must stay at war with the Chinese for 8 more turns. I start Sanitation at Lonely Scientist Speed gaining 182gpt. I leave Beijing with only 3 Elephants, thinking it will revolt.

Ok thats all I could play today . Next leaders, keep the peace and bring trade to our nation!!! Our GL Tech Gain is a record I think! Dont'cha think?? Ohh, and I'm pretty sure that Babylon is going to attack next turns so make Mutual Protection Pacts with almost everyone so they may not attack. Good Luck!

 

[amirsan]

the Game!

 

[Tsukemono5]

23 techs, yeah, I think that's a record . Not only tech parity, but being ahead of most everyone else . I got it, will try to play tonight or tomorrow night.

 

[betazed]

lurker's comment:
Congrats guys. That was a great comeback. I am really enjoying following this game. I am sure you will win this one.

 

[amirsan]

Thanks! I wonder if we should post this somewhere???

 

[amirsan]

Dont forget to start a Pre-Build for ToE. Thats a very important wonder in the Industrial Age.

 

[Tsukemono5]

OK. I'll start turns tonight and try to get them done by tomorrow. Sorry for the delay, but I do hold two jobs. And it's my sister's Bday tomorrow. What should I do if I can't finish up by tomorrow night? Should I keep it till Thursday or just play AMAP?

 

[amirsan]

What's AMAP??? Anyways, try to finish but if you dont Belail is next right?? He can continue

 

[Belial]

Yeah, I'm next.

 

[Belial]

So what's the deal?

 

[Belial]

I loaded the save and noticed a few things, first we don't need those libraries, we only have a few techs left to research before we completely shut it down. We're going to need the economy to buy them... all the other civs have unis and libraries and so on so let's put our GA to it's best advantage.

I suggest we make banks and factories and then aim for ToE and Hoovers. After that, we can pretty much start wrapping this up.

Edit: It's also time to start pumping workers out non-stop to get our rails up-to-date and start thinking about the Babs for war.

Of course, no one else really going to do much damage to them, but we'll probably want to grab the Zulus on it just to keep them in two fronts.

However, before furthur discussion on who to war next, let's stick to getting our econ and production up. Infrastructure, infrastcuture and more infrastructure.

Oh, and we may want to war some of the smaller civs just to avoid the Babs, but it looks like they might want to war us.

 

[amirsan]

OK, where is Tsuk??? Is Control Freak ready to take the save next, if not then we can skip Tsuk and give it to you Belail, sinse it seems your online.

 

[Belial]

CF is after me and he's on vacation, either way, give Tsuk until tonight to see what's going on because I can't play for another six hours or so.

 

[amirsan]

OK, no prob.

 

[Belial]

Alright, I'll grab the save, no post or anything.

Looks it is just us for now, Amirsan.

 

[amirsan]

Yup, good luck.

 

[Belial]

I'll post my turns tonight, but I'd honestly want to start a new after them. That should also say a lot, but if you guys want, we can still continue.
