I suggest sending swords and spears by boat to Mecca while we still can do so easily.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

As for the americans being protestants, it's no-no, I just didn't copy the whole thing in the last page you checked in. The end of the quote should be:

Plus the Holy Spanishs, Romans and Americans, who believe in God and Jesus and the foundation of the Catholic Church.

Well we held it long enough I guess. Did the arabs have monotheism? I wouldn't be surprised at all if that wasn't clear, but I intended to make it AW from the point THEY discover their religion on - that means we could have had a few turns off to pack MECCA with furthermore troops.

Inquisiting Roster:
- Pope Beorn IV
- Pope Goes-The-Weasel IV bravely fought to the death @ MECCA
- Pope Chunky III UP
- Pope Plisken III On Deck
- Pope MadViking III

well, i thought about it. but decided to be on the safe side of the variant.
we will take it back soon.
ii we can get out of the arab mire in the OPEN ARAB DYNASTY game, we can surely get these arabs.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

I suggest we push the settler to the horses, where he will be on the coast for some extra commerce.

lurker's comment: It would be fun to see a game of "all the same nation." Something like a civil war game, where every civ is the same, every UU is the same, and stuff is rampaged around the map when that UU comes around. Imagine 11 Ottoman nations reaching Sipahi, or 11 Xman's sending immortals around a big pangea.

 

[IroquoisPlisken]

On the coast, it could also reach that fish. Plus we'd save the forest.

lurker's comment: Hmm, interesting idea...everyone's GA would come at the same time. The Ancient Age would start slow too, since everyone starts with the same techs.

settler can go to te beach

that other game... wait for SW7. i had just taht thing planned.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Yeah yeah ... I said it first !!!

Make it all AGR/SCI for crazy AI's with crazy new era tech advances
Modern age UU would also kick ass.

 

[Chunky Kong]

Got it....

 

[Chunky Kong]

Pre-turn: Everything A-OK.

IBT: Some Wonders are completed by diff. Civs.

330 BC(1): Blegh. Movement.

IBT: More wonders completed by diff. Civs.

310 BC(2): More movement.

290 BC(3): Logrono founded. And more movement.

270 BC(4): Bleh.

250 BC(5): Meh.

230 BC(6): Well, we discover Theology. Time to go to war with China, Korea, and Japan.

210 BC(7): Settler made. It's going to where the Swordsman is fortified, near Rheims.

190 BC(8): Meh.

170 BC(9): >_>

IBT: Hia wants peace. Not a chance, boi.

150 BC(10): Not much.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Good thing you made it coastal. Theology will mean war with the eastern cultures when THEY have it, not us. That should give us some precious room to breathe.

I guess we could stop research at astronomy once we have it and use the cash to broker a tech from time to time and rush units here and there. Conquistadors are cheap and fast but we'll need a ****load of them.

Inquisiting Roster:
- Pope Beorn IV
- Pope Goes-The-Weasel IV
- Pope Chunky IV
- Pope Plisken III Up, might be the first to conquistador
- Pope MadViking III On deck to see the beginning of our rising might

 

[IroquoisPlisken]

Got it. I'll play tomorrow.

Never used a Conquistador before, so I'm looking forward to this.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

I made one in my first and last warlord game. I didn't like the movement sound back then and concluded I wouldn't build any more of those. Played a 100k so didn't have much to worry about as far as war tactics go.

 

[madviking]

The AI makes all the time, i hate the "clinky-clink-clink" sound

 

[IroquoisPlisken]

Alright, I've got 7 turns done. I'll finish tomorrow afternoon.

One question. Are we allowed to declare on one of the Protestant civs (such as France) before 1517 (or whatever the date is)?

Joan is building a wonder in both Paris and Orleans, her only two good cities, AND is in an anarchy. I think we should teach her a lesson.

 

[IroquoisPlisken]

Found some time to finish tonight.

Reign of Pope Plisken III

Pre-turn – India now knows Poly—declare. But not before demanding 42 gold from him.
Switch SWD to harbor—it was building a court, but it only has 5 gold corrupted out of 26.
Increase Sci to 60%, Education in 8, +1gpt. Rush the temple in African Colony for 32 gold (had 8 turns left). Rush the temple in Logrono for 92 gold.

IBT – English start MoM. England completes Pyramids in London. Vikings start Great Wall…and finish it in Trondheim. Arabs start MoM. Indians start ToA. Chinese start MoM…and finish it in Beijing. French start ToA and Great Library. Aztecs start ToA.

130 (1) – Santiago market->sword. Asturias lib->barracks. African Colony temple->harbor. Logrono temple->spear.

Hmm…Paris and Orleans are both building Wonders. Those are Joan’s only major cities, and they’re building wonders. Are we allowed to declare before 1517?

Build embassies in Rome and Washington—we’re friends, so we might as well know if they’re at war.

Rome: Completes ToA in 8 turns. 3 reg spears, 3 wines, 1 dye. No strategic resources. 12 spt, 18 gpt, 14 fpt (not growing). 40% sci. Size 7.

Washington: Sword due in 7 turns. 3 reg spears, 1 dye, 2 iron. 4 spt, 6 gpt, 6 fpt. 40% sci. Size 1.

IBT – English start ToA. Arabs start SoZ.

110 (2) – SWD harbor->sword. Seville colosseum->sword.

90 (3) – nothing.

70 (4) – Madrid cathedral->sword. Santiago sword->sword.

IBT – Romans start tGL. Chinese start ToA.

50 (5) – SWD sword->granary. Seville sword->worker. Bearish lib->market. AIs now have Republic.

Just realized we hadn’t declared on the Incans yet…actually, I think I didn’t even realize I met them…whoops. Declared.

Valladolid founded ->temple.

IBT – A Roman archer attacks and dies from something in the fog, most likely an Arab…

30 (6) – Seville worker->gran. Valencia lib->sword.

Lower sci to 50%, Education due next turn. France is also in Anarchy.

IBT – Aztecs ask for peace. Nah. Roman archer is attacked and wins.

Edu->Astro @ 60%, +0 gpt, due in 12.

10 BC (7) – Madrid sword->uni. Santiago sword->sword. Zaragoza horse->barracks.

Not much else.

IBT – Arabs ask for peace. No.

10 AD (8) – nothing.

IBT – Two Korean warriors appear by an exploring horse.
Romans start tGL, and complete ToA in Rome. Arabs start tGL and SoZ. Indians start SoZ. Dutch start tGL and complete it in Amsterdam.

30 (9) – Rush the temple inValladolid for 104 gold

IBT – Arabs start SoZ and complete it in Mecca.

50 (10) – SWD gran->FP. Do we want it here? Santiago sword->sword. Asturias barracks->sword. Valladolid temple->worker. Korea now has Engineering.

Not much else. If we can declare on France now, I suggest we soon. Orleans is capable of being hit from inside our territory. Paris is in a great location. Maybe that should be our FP city.

Rome is at war with Arabia, so maybe we should help him? After France that is.

The fact that he was not able to witness a Conquistador was too much for Pope Plisken III, hence he died of grief.

 

[madviking]

got it.......

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

@Plisken: yes we are allowed to declare, but we are not allowed to attack with swords or horses or whatever. Every offensive action in enemy lands must be done with conquistadors. Else this game would have been Emperor

Indeed the french will lack military when we get there, but I guess we can use the 10-12 turns until we have astro to start (and get a long way in) the FP. Any city will do as far as I'm concerned, but I would like it as fast as possible.

Not gonna tell that Norse guy that he's up, he knows already.

 

[MeteorPunch]

lurker's comment: The only attackers can be conquistadors!? I thoought that was just for invading america. Cool, this will be interesting.
