Ank07 - Plain Deity

1800 AD - IHT. Switch some cities to Stock Exchanges and other more useful stuff, like wealth. We won't win with units; we'll need economical power now.

IBT: Death or the Roses flips to Egypt ...

[1] 1802 AD. I have a spare settler I want to use for lux-stealing; but there is no lux catchable yet.

[2] 1804 AD. Income is up again. Can't trade yet.

IBT: Egypt declares on the Americans. Our blockade is still effective.
Sutter's Mill Lib -> court

[3] 1806 AD. America lacks Oil. We need to change that soon. Send in a unit next to the only American city. There is a stack of 9 Egyptian MechInfs + 8 Egyptian tanks next to Atlanta. America seems toast. I'm positioning units so I can watch the coming Spectacle. I am considering giving America a city, as we still have a 12 turn and a 16 turn deal with them. I decide not to; it wouldn't suffice. They're on their own now. If they can beat the SoD they'll survive (maybe). If not, they'll be dead anyway. Bye bye rep ??
There's no use giving them Oil either; they have 0 gold. They can't upgrade.

IBT: The Americans use many many Infs and Cavs to attack injured, spread out Egyptian units. And now Egypt attacks and wins, destroying the Americas. I fear Egypt is very close to Domination now.

[4] 1808 AD. Cancel Saltpeter for Incense with Ottomans. Also cancel Rop. Resign Rop + Gems for Rop + Saltpeter. Cancel Rop with Egypt. Sign Rop for our WM + 60 gold. Switch Mecca, Basra and Merw to settler.
Found "Yankee's grave" in former American lands.

IBT: 3 settlers build. Flip back Damascus lib -> Cathedral

[5] 1810 AD. Found "Moreland", "Junglebook" and "Northern Outpost" in noman's land.
Egypt is blocking our South-Eastern lands form the Former Spain area.

IBT: Egypt frees the passage.

[6] 1812 AD. Occupying the Passage to keep our Empire connected. Found "Passage securer". Found "Take back the Roses"

I'm going to kill my ISP !! For the 5th time today and for the 10th time these few days my PC crashes and my modem can't connect to the ISP for over 2 hours. An infamous Win XP blue screen (which is far worse than a Win 98 blue screen. It usually signals a defect on some bit of hardware and I'm guessing it's my ADSL-modem

[7] 1814 AD + [8] 1816 AD + [9] 1818AD. "Poach the terrain flipped" rushed about 1000 gold on cultural buildings.

IBT: Ottomans want to talk: Do we want a MPP ? nope.

[10] 1820 AD. not much.

The Save 1820 AD.
 
Gah. I'm gonna kill my ISP (- quote: Rik Meleet ;)). It cut off connection all of the sudden and I could get here to dl the save, and now it's too late... oh well, tomorrow it is then.

I'm sure it serves as little purpose as my complaint about the ISP served, but here it goes;
I apologise to my ISP; it wasn't their fault; it was my normal phone-modem (which I never use, but had connected to the phonelines) which was blocking the ADSL-line. Sorry ISP.
 
Yeah... space race will be a tough nut, and we aren't getting to pay the AI any gpt. they aren't accepting it...
 
Ruh-roh. I smell a donnybrook, and we are donny.
 
Ankka said:
Huh? Please speak English here, we all don't understand Bede. ;)

:lol:

Donnybrook is an old Irish term for a battle and I think we are the target.
 
1820AD [Preturn]: Check to see where we are going. Our great nation is in 3 parts...

Check out for trade possibilities.

Huh? what has happened to our gpt trading possibility, the AI isn't accepting it...???

Oh yeah, we had deals with Abe when Egypt destroyed him. :rolleyes:

Why are we building so much wealth? Oh well, continue..

1822AD [1]: Get distracted for a while when browsing CFC.

Egypt is some 200 tiles away from dom victory. we are 700 or so. Not too close. I bet we'll lose this by spaceship or an Egyptian assault. Hope the latter, a little warring would be fun. ;) :joke:

IBT: Front row seats lib > cath.
Taif lib > cath.
Passage securer temple > lib.
Upper Ocean view lib > cath.

1826AD [3]: :sleep:

IBT: Egypyt declares war on the Otto's. Finally some action.

They have MA's. They slice through half a dozen of older Ottoman units... but lose a few to tougher defenders in towns. They take Valencia which was defended only by a rifle and a guerrilla. Let's see how this goes...

Bukhara lib > cath.

1828AD [4]: Looks like most of the action happens IBT now. :lol:

Check to see how tight our blockade is and if something needs to be done.

Looks like it's fine, Valencia and Atlanta are in Egyptian hands on the Ottoman side of the blockade... let's see how the fight goes.

*steps aside to let the superpowers make a nice show*

IBT: Whoa! The Otto's nuke Atlanta! :eek:

They retake Valencia and capture Atlanta.

Sounds like they nuked some other place too, bit the screen goes black when they do, so I don't know where they stroke.

We lose gems.

Mecca riots.
So does Coal dust.
Najran.
Kufah.
Anjar.
Bodo.
Aden stock > wealth.
Sana'a riots.
Shihr lib > cath.

1830AD [5]: We get the 208 gpt back we where trading to the Otto's.

Raise luxtax to 10%, gpt is now 354.

Looks like it was the Egyptians who nuked now: Edrine was hit.

I'll leave it to the next better player to continue.
 
Unbelievable!! The other rulers obviously need to "increase their medication". Cleopatra is cruising to an incontested spaceship launch and starts a fight with a Turk with nukes!!

Got it. I gotta see this.
