Apocalypse Now

[shyuhe]

Maybe we should start spamming Hindu and other religious missionaries in hopes of dislodging the monoreligion?

 

[PaulusIII]

Another thing to keep in mind is that we can set De Gaulle to work on getting us backfill techs; he's now going to fall behind even more but he can do some of the less cost-intensive techs for us. Think techs like Philosophy and Economics. Since we're now an age behind the rest of the world (in true Tokugawa-style ) we need all the help we can get.

 

[r_rolo1]

Bah, who needs techs when we have samurai and a lot of siege?

 

[RRRaskolnikov]

Spamming missionaries could help...
I think Osaka should switch to university right now... We will get a GP in 5 turns, lightbulb?
Do we wait for rifling to declare or do we go for grenadiers instead?
Good point Paulus about redirecting DG's research...

@Rolo I think declaring before any ot those two units would be asking for troubles

 

[shyuhe]

Grenadiers don't do very well against cavalry.

 

[RRRaskolnikov]

Grenadiers don't do very well against cavalry.

dunno what I was thinking... I guess we have to prey they don't have AL when we get to rifling... Having the Globe by the time we reach rifling looks like a good idea

Okay what had I smoked when I wrote that report? I spelled like crap.

By "Fance" I ment "France", by "Capital" I meant "Catapult" hmm: WTH?)

Oh and Nothing will stand in the way of the Samurai, not even Rifles! We will defeat them or die trying!

 

[Diamondeye]

O and then doublepost

Haha... really I can't blame you... my english spelling is so crap...
You must be confusing samurais and kamikazes though

Cheers

No that would be defeat them while dying. I am talking about a more epic, Last Samurai-like approach. Whatever the outcome, our cause is the righteous one!

But didn't the samurai lose in there?

Ah well. If it be so, then it will be so. Just make sure they get the epitaph on my gravestone right...

Here lies Paulus the Third.

Contrary to popular belief, techwhoring DOES kill.

 

[r_rolo1]

I need to be swapped, ras ..... The SGOTM is eating a lot of my time .....

 

[RRRaskolnikov]

@Shyuhe: Can you grab the save?

Cheers

 

[shyuhe]

is all I can say. I didn't even get to play 15 turns!

Turn 291: I re-organize some trade deals.

Turn 292 - DG no longer hates us so I trade optics for banking + 30 gold.

Turn 295 - This vote comes up yet again:

Hmm... We're his opponent now. Interesting. I vote for us, obviously.

Turn 296 -

I have nothing more to say.

Our score was ~3k. We are "unready." I've attached the save from the turn before defeat.

 

[r_rolo1]

It looks that I was spared of having a heart/laugh attack

 

[RRRaskolnikov]

Well I don't know how I feel... is it or or ... no probably more like .

That was a fun game anyway... Upsaala could have grown one turn sooner and avoid us this but oh well...
Do you guys want a revenge? Toku, same settings, same roster? You don't want to give up so easily, right?

Cheers,
Raskolnikov

 

[shyuhe]

I'd be up for a re-match.

 

[RRRaskolnikov]

OK nice... Rolo told me he is OK too on msn. Will wait for DE and Paulus comments and then start another thread (hopefully tonight as I have some spare time ).
Any ideas for the name of the thread?

edit: if Pigswill feels civing again, he is the welcome too

 

[Diamondeye]

If we can start next to Ramesses

Seriously though, I'm in. As for a title, how about... uhm...

地獄の黙示録！

 

[PaulusIII]

Hell yeah! We need to take revenge for this insult to Japanese martial power!
