I'll try and check back more often, but no promises. And once Thursday hits I'm going to be offline for a day or two completely while I move into my new house.

*copied to both threads*
Woo Hoo![dance] :beer: Congrats on the new house! What's it like?

Thats ok, play when you can..
 
Its smaller than my current one, but then again the current one is way too big for my needs. It also has a full apartment included, which is nice for a bit of extra income. I may not be able to play til next week, because I'm not sure how long it'll take to switch my cable modem service to the new house. Hoepfully it won't take long at all and I'll be available this weekend.
 
Inherited: Peace treaty with America, they couldn't even afford 1 gpt, so they gave us their entire treasury, 28 gold. Universal sufferage time cut from 22 turns to 18 turns.
Greek cavalry cause havok around Karachi.

1) 1510 Medicine learned, Electricity ordered. Delhi completes the Iron Works. Hannover captured. Worker groups start forming as single workers finish their projects.

2) 1515 our cavalry engage greek cavalry outside hannover, a stack of 44 greek units (swordsmen, longbowmen, hoplites) spotted just inside egyptian borders heading for hannover. Hannover given to America, brings relations up to polite. America declares war on greece for an RoP and 100 gold.

3) 1520 Our cavalry retreats from the huge stack of greek units that approach Hannover.
Greece and germany have signed an alliance against america.

4) 1525 Greeks capture Hannover.

5) 1530 A round of world map trading reveals the entire map for us.
French begin Universal Suffereage. 41 greek units moving from hannover towards Bengal. Iroquois cavalry ready to begin engaging.

6) 1535 England and Greece have signed a trade embargo against us. Iroquois forces begin returning to their own territory. Iroquois capture Hannover.

7) 1540 Cavalry stationed in Karachi kill 8 hoplites.
Russian forces begin turning back towards home. Iroquois turn back towards greece. Greece recaptures Hannover. Most greek forces head back towards hannover, a few longbowmen and swordsmen impale themselves upon our rifleman defending the cavalry.

8) 1545 Greek stack cut down to 22 units, at the cost of 2 cavalry.
Russian units head back towards Greece. Greeks kill 3 cavalry at a cost of 6 units.

9) 1550

Greece is huge compared to us. Be careful who you ally with against them, or they could swallow them up and become even bigger. So far all the fighting has been confined to this area.

Trading Hannover to America was a move to get America involved in the war, I tried to get an alliance against greece in the same deal, but nothing I asked for would be accepted. There was no way to hold it against a stack that size, so rather than having our treasury raided when greece took it, I gave it away to improve relations. Greece is a democracy still, but with as many wars as they have going on, they will fall into anarchy soon. Hopefully everyone will have the same problem soon, if they do and we keep concentrating on infrastructure and tech, we can get a huge lead.
 
:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Wow! And Russian Cossacks to the rescue! maybe it's time to give the Russians and Iroquois a ROP? Let them fight our war for us! If we wipe out the Greek army that will probably leave their homeland defenceless! Or am I dreaming? [pimp]

Looks like Steve's turn to have some fun!
 
Well don't forget some of our aces up our sleeves -

Kill butt production from the Iron works.

We have a thin rail net connecting all of our cities.

The AI can get stupid when dealing with rails, and the quick movement.

I think most human players get factories going much faster then the AI.

Think - ToE! That is a great way to get a tech lead. Hey, maybe we can blast into space :lol:
 
Woah... It's feast or famine here, and after having nothing in over a week, I suddenly find myself up in three succession games.

Now Playing...
 
Not too bad here. Lots of Civs are beating up the Greeks, we have been completely unaffected by the wars. I therefore concentrated on infrastructure.

This will be brief. I played 18 turns, it's late here and I want to get some sleep.

Inherited turn:
I Try to offer ROP to Russia and Iroquois, but they talk of an ROP being broken with India. Huh? If I recall India declared war on us! AI must be :smoke: LMAO@Bengal. AWESOME production - there is a factory there due in 235 turns! I don't have the heart to change it. I talk to Germany and they end their trade embargo with Greece against us and declare war on Greece. All for the princely sum of 200 Gold. We bring Egypt into the war for 140 Gold (both of these were military alliances). Bismark and Cleo are both polite towards us :) While we're on the subject of warmongering, Egypt and Germany sign a military alliance against America and Egypt declares war.

OMG!! No-one told me about the HUGE war weariness problem!! Riots occurring EVERYWHERE. This sucks. Entertainers are hired in at least 12 cities.

(1) 1555AD
MAJOR micromanagement - I attempt to adjust for the wave of disorder descending upon our lands. Science is adjusted from 70% to 40% for 1 turn and Luxuries from 0% to 10% - Electricity still arrives in 1 turn. Then I go through our cities, creating entertainers where necessary. I consider revolting to Monarchy pending Universal Suffrage, but defer for now pending further disorder and the fact that Universal Sufferage will arrive in less than 10 turns. Other news - Greece draws England into the war against Egypt, we learn Electricity and I order up Scientific Method for the Theory of Evolution. Sit back and watch Russia and Iroquois fighting our war for us :)

(2) 1560AD
Order is restored throughout the empire. Delhi begins building a palace in preparation for Theory of Evolution. Police stations started to help with war weariness. Science is upped to 60% - Luxuries still at 10% - Scientific Method reduced from 11 to 7 turns.

(3) 1565AD
Hannover changes hands from Greek to Iroquois.

(4) 1570AD
Several infrastructure changes to police station in cities that are badly hit by war weariness. America wants MPP, so I send them away with a World Map. I note that the first wave of police stations are helping the disorder situation, and put some entertainers back to work.

(5) 1575AD
(6) 1580AD
(7) 1585AD
England want MPP and they walk away with our World Map. Iroquois and Rome sign an MPP - I sit back and wait for Greece to attack the Iroquois.

(8) 1590AD
Rome is now at war with Greece. Hehehe.

(9) 1595AD
Exchange Territory Maps with Iroquois. We get Scientific Method and switch to Replacable Parts.

(10) 1600AD
Change Delhi to ToE to arrive in 3 turns. Universal Suffrage completes at our capitol (I refuse to type those names). Nothing worth building there and we cannot put it on palace placeholder, so switch to Wealth until the next great thing appears.

(11) 1605AD
Major reduction in war weariness is noted.

(12) 1610AD
Science to 70%, Luxuries to 0%. More city micromanagement. Iroquois declare war on America. Theory of Evolution is completed in Delhi - we get Replacable Parts and Atomic Theory. Electronics order up next. Dehli is switched to palace, as it is next to a river and a prime site for the Hoover Dam. We have at least four(!) sources of rubber, and two are already connected.

(13) 1615AD
(14) 1620AD
(15) 1625AD
Some trading, now we have Theory of Evolution under our belt.
Trade Scientific Method to Babylon for Corporation + 45 gpt.
Trade Scientific Method to Iroquois for 12 gpt.
Everyone else is too poor. We are running a nice little surplus at 70% science (about 55gpt now).

(16) 1630AD
(17) 1635AD
(18) 1640AD
Very quiet. I use the workers to mine some of the mountains, so that some of that wasted food can be turned into shields by moving the workers around (particularly around some of those cities that are GROSSLY overirrigated).

Notes:
Electronics is due in 6 turns.
Delhi on palace placeholder for Hoover Dam.

Here's the save:
 
:goodjob:

Great turn Steve! 2 wonders!

I'll see if I can play tonight.

More clearing of jungle. Remeber that massive jungle between us and the Iroquois, gone! :D We switch Delhi to Hoover.

1690 AD:
Greece and Germany have signed a peace treaty.
Greece and Egypt have signed a peace treaty.

Thats it for me. Too tired to continue.

The Iroquois are beating on the Americans pretty hard.. I've always wanted to take them out but I'll leave that decision to the next leader. :D
 
I will get this one done tonight.


A break from working on my companies books at night ;)
 
Preturn -
My goal is decided. Upgrade everything to high quality troops.
Current cash is know 1001 after upgrading.
Other goals, get rid of out of date units - Swordsman.
The Roman calvary army by Bombay is scary.
Bengal now complete factory in 70 turns.
I can find any alliances, so peace with Greece. We get a whopping $20.
The best I can do is trade maps, cash becomes some more upgrades.

1695 AD - :eek: Roman calvary army and Egyptian Leader.
1700 AD - I can get $800 by slowing down Refining for 1 turn. Here come the upgrades.
1705 AD - $400 starts the process. We still have lots to upgrade.
Begin wholesale disbanding of our of date swordsman.
Yea, right - I give Rome Replaceable parts for espionage.
Hmmm... Hospitals, or close to tanks?
Well, this is 20 turns of development - Hospitals.
[dance] Sanitation in 4 turns, at 10% science.
We will have upgraded troops.
1710 AD - I am happy to report - all units upgraded. All swordsman disbanded.
We still have a "strong" military according to the military advisor.
America and Egypt sign a peace treaty.
It really mattered :lol: The Americans are dead.
1715 AD - Demand everyone leave our terriotry, and they do :(
1720 AD - Again, tell those idiot Russians to leave our fine lands.
1725 AD - See notes for 1720.
We can now flush toilets, how about steel?
1730 AD - Egypt and England sign a peace treaty.
1752 AD - I love Delhi - battlefield medicine in 7 turns ;)
We buy espionage from the Iroqoius for a mere $100.
1754 AD - I has been awhile, so I tell Russia to LEAVE!
I watch a lot of Iroqoius and Greece calvary kill each other.
1756 AD - :satan: Most of the Russian Cossacks popped out of our territory by Hannover :satan:

Summary - Well, we are really starting to kick butt.
We our running our of improvements for many of our cities.
 
Great news that we are kicking butt now! :)

Did Nanook say he couldn't play until after Sunday? If so, Shdwlord might as well go. I'd be willing to wait 24 hours to see if Nanook posts though.

Nanook is still in the middle of the move I suspect.

I would suggest passing the torch to Shdwlord.
 
got it, if nanook hasn't posted by the time I finish, I will post results, if he does, I will go from his post.
 
Inherited: We are still giving Russia iron for ivory so they can build railroads? Not anymore :lol: Silks given to Iroquois for RoP and 9 gpt. Time for someone to pay ;)
St. Petersburg in Russian hands? this cannot be allowed. "Catherine, I have looked at the ancient maps, and it seems that you are in possession of one of our cities, may we have it back please? What!?!? You dare to take that tone with me??? Very well, you asked for it."

St. Petersburg captured. Moscow captured. Vladivostok captured.

Several of our workers are captured by russian cossacks returning from egyptian territory. Moscow survives an attack from a single russian cossack.

1) 1758 Hmmmm, Toynbee says we are the 3rd most powerful civ, behind the Greeks and the Iroquois. Yakutsk captured. Egypt declares war on Russia for dyes. Punjab captured. Smolensk captured.

2) 1760 Tblisi captured.
Germany and Russia have signed a trade embargo against us. The trade embargo against us by England and Greece has ended.

3) 1762 Rostov captured. Grozny captured.

4) 1764 Russian cossacks along the egyptian border that had been pillaging are eliminated. Novgorod captured.

5) 1766 Sevastopol captured. Kiev captured. Sverdlovsk captured. Odessa captured.
Rome and Russia have signed a trade embargo against us.

6) 1768 Battlefield Medicine completed.

7) 1770 Combustion learned, Mass Production ordered. Krasnoyarsk captured. Riga captured. Philadelphia captured. Miami Captured.
England and Greece have signed a military alliance against Russia. Guess they don't think all of our cavalry in the hills near Russia's last city have a chance of survival.

8) 1772 The Intelligence Agency is completed. Astrakhan captured. Grrr, Russians still have a size 1 city.

9) 1774 Mailop destroyed. The Strong Russians have been destroyed :goodjob:

I saved the game before I adjusted the production for the absence of war weariness now that the Russians are out of the game. we could probably get away with 0 luxury rate right now. And fire a few entertainers. We are at peace with everyone again, but we do get tanks soon ;) 9 turns to take out Russia completely, not too bad for a game we almost quit :lol:
 
:satan: Most of the Russian Cossacks popped out of our territory by Hannover :satan:

Hmmm....
I guess you realized what I what thinking with that comment.

Russia :die!:

:goodjob:
