B03: The Spanish Inquisition

[madviking]

Is Chunky done?
I want to play now...

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Chunky is well overdue. Iro should take it. If he doesn't post his progress by then, take it tomorrow night.

 

[Chunky Kong]

Now now, you should know by now that I update sporadically.

 

[IroquoisPlisken]

I'm up in SGOTM7 today anyway, so I can't take it until tomorrow.

@Beorn: Love the new avatar.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Thanks Iro
Viking, you have your orders

 

[madviking]

So i use SW's save?

 

[IroquoisPlisken]

...I think we're waiting for Chunky to finish.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

If he had to post anything it would have been done. If you have turns done Iro, post them, finish your 10 if you want; MV can take afterwards.

 

[IroquoisPlisken]

Chunky played like a turn and that's it.

I just finished my SGOTM7 turns, so I'll pick up from SW's save tomorrow if Chunky hasn't finished by then.

Or madviking can take them tonight if he wants.

 

[madviking]

Cant take em today.

 

[soul_warrior]

take us away IroP!!!!
lead us off into space and the final frontier!!!!

 

[Chunky Kong]

Here's the save from when I played.

 

[MeteorPunch]

you only played one turn chunky.

 

[IroquoisPlisken]

You sure you don't want to finish your turns, Chunky? You can if you want.

Otherwise, I'll finish tomorrow. I'll be playing a lot of Civ tomorrow, that's for sure (this and SW6, plus my solo game, maybe). Not that I mind.

EDIT: I guess I'll play, then. I'll be done in about an hour.

Pre-turn – I decide to investigate Holwerd, the last Dutch city (north pole city)…2 reg spears and it’s building…Sistine’s. Only 184 turns to go, though. Better hurry…
Rush the caravel at Besancon.
Finish loading a caravel by Madrid with a settler and 2 conqs. I think I’ll send it down to that 1 tile island in the Caribbean before anyone else gets it. It’ll be a good colony to start the wars in the New World, too.

IBT – Romans start Knights Templar. St. Augustine ranks us number 1 in his list of the 8 Most Powerful Nations of the World…duh. 2nd is America, then Aztecs, Romans, Chinese, Iroquois, Japanese, then Inca.

920 (1) – Amsterdam settler->harbor. SWD conq->conq. Santiago conq->conq. Murcia conq->conq. Besancon caravel->harbor.

Capture Copenhagen and destroy a galley. Capture Birka.

Give Caesar iron for a RoP just so he’ll stop whining when we come into his lands.

Rush several temples in Africa and the Middle East, since we have over 3000 gold. Then I remember we DON’T want Domination…oh well, we can always raze cities.

930 (2) – Paris conq->conq. My heart skips several beats when I mistake Delhi deposing us when they are actually dying of disease. Whew. No problems then…I’m not going to say all the cities that built temples. Most start on workers. Orleans conq->conq.

Destroy Aarhus. Redline several and lose 1 conq trying to capture the two remaining Viking cities.

IBT – Scandinavia and Rome sign a peace treaty.
The English start Sistine’s.

940 (3) – Lyons conq->caravel. Valencia conq->conq.

Redeclare on the Vikings and finally capture Arnhem (was their capital). Just Ravenna left.
Land the settler and 2 conqs on the island in the Caribbean. Lots of Aztec galleys around, so the caravel probably won’t survive this turn.

IBT – Aha! The caravel takes two damage killing two galleys, and promotes!

950 (4) – Damasucks musket->temple. Seville conq->conq. Bearish conq->conq. The Hague conq->market. Najran barracks->conq. Zaragoza bank->conq. Marseilles musket->temple.

Capture Ravenna and destroy the Vikings.
Found Cadiz ->temple. Found Jamaica (Caribbean city) ->temple, and rush it.

I’ll stop now to even the turns out.

Do we want to take out the French next? If so, I moved a lot of Conqs into position. We can probably take two of their cities this turn.

There’s a caravel ready to unload 3 conqs onto the last Dutch city. Just declare and land them, then capture it next turn.

The caravel in Jamaica is ready to unload the 2 conqs on Vitcos, then head back to Jamaica to heal.

no more vikings, nor dutch

Let's just watch the 66/66 and 100k limits. With that in mind, boats and the new world are on the horizon

I don't think we need to conquer more land from France/Netherlands. We can keep that fun for later. For now, razing the americas sounds like a nice plan.
I wonder how many CONS you need for a TOW ...

I think we're only at like 25% land and no more than 20k total, so we're not in any danger.

Netherlands has only one city left, and we can probably take it out next turn though (unless the RNG gods hate us).

France also wouldn't take more than a couple turns, probably. They have about 5 cities I think...I didn't count, though.

our entire army's worth?

Oh GOT IT!
