bed_09 - Random RaR Deity

IT - Pick up Refining.

1060 AD (1) - Switch Karakorum to Wall Street. Boston has amazing production.

1070 AD (2) - Get Military Tradition, get some money for it. Start Compulsory Education.

1100 AD (5) - We miss out on Magellan's Voyage by a couple of turns. Switch the city over to Arc de Triomphe. We capture Hiva.

1120 AD (7) - Sign an RoP with Iroquois. I don't see us attacking them before 20 turns, and they claimed some Polynesian rubble so we have to move through their territory.

Crystal Palace is due in five, being built in Boston, which should be able to produce an amazing amount of shields once completely improved.

1140 AD (9) - We get Mass Production (or whatever the Crystal Palace tech is).

The land from Polynesia will be a bit awkward to defend, as someone pointed out, but if we can take their three northenmost cities on the first turn, having taken Polynesian lands will not have any real effect on the front. We will need some units between now and then, though. I built nothing militarily, and I lost a couple cavalry and a few Keshiks, unfortunately. I also forgot to upgrade the cannons until the last turn. (the only smiley I ever use)

Worker situation is also a little off. We got a steady enough stream of 1-2 Polynesian workers for the last few turns, so some of the worker groups aren't quite the right size (especially one that cleaned up pollution in the last turn).

We now have some really ugly borders. With the Iroquois having cities in-between it will be ugly to get rails to connect those cities with our pitiful labor force. I really hope ThERat razes the cities south of Hiva. I don't want to be in a war with the Iroquois with this awkward empire.

We are still incredibly short of labor as another 10 turns and

Our slave markets are obsolete. Please sell them off. We still have at least one left in the game in Almarikh. There is no sense in paying support for useless buildings.

I wonder if good use of our cash would be to rush labor out of the Polynesian cities every other turn?

oh, LK, welcome to bedhead games

 

[bed_head7]

I was doing so well this time with the roster, too. Oh well.

I thought all of our slave markets were already gone, so I didn't even look around for slave markets to sell.

As far as the borders go, we can get those northern three in the first turn, which makes things a bit better. In the meantime, we do have an RoP to get the necessary railnet.

save

better build a park there first to avoid pollution
Iros get emancipation proclamation

5. 1200AD

I suggest to try and get to social democracy as soon as possible. are shall we revolt now already?
we have several wonder builds going including the war college in 2 in Kazan, we could switch that
our military is better now with 2 Cav armies , suggest to build up for 8 more turns and then attack Iro

the west

core with all wonder builds

 

[romeothemonk]

Wonderland is an odd choice. I would rather have Boston build units or gold buildings than a worthless wonder. I do not think we want social demo. It got nerfed in 1.04, I think we will want federal republic. We may just want to use our insane production and run people over for now though.
Let us get a bunch of arty ~30, a few armies, and lots of loose cavs. Then we go to town on the Iro.

 

[ThERat]

Wonderland is just a placeholder. with 299spt you don't want to build a 160s unit like Cav's isn't it? thought something more useful could be built there (e/g einstein) tanks which we get soonish are perfect there

 

[LKendter]

I don't understand why we continue to split our science help. Karakorum has built more science help buildings, but the empire state building (+1 commerce) is in Ta-Tu? We would get more of a science boast with Empire State in Karakorum.

Einstein in Boston is major weed IMO. Karakorum will have +1 commerce with our weed building of Empire State there. Einstein belongs in the same city as Empire State as there will be more revenue to boost.

Agreed. Karakorum easily outstrips the other cities in terms of commerce.

Usually the game goes so fast we don't need rosters in Bed games.
I agree with swapping the Empire state to another city, either karakoum or Boston.

 

[ThERat]

I know that the empire state should be in Karakorum. as it is, Karakorum is the research base (that's why I built national library there first) while Boston is the shield monster. Einstein should be built in Karakorum as well, but I doubt we can wait to let it complete National History Museum, Empire State and then Einstein. We should build Einstein if not just to deny the AI's. Maybe we should have another town as research city #2, we could swap Kazan to a more useful build than War College.

My RL sucks...

I have personnel shortage at work and had to work throughout the weekend to meet project deadlines.
This is the first time I had a chance to open civfanatics web site and feel so bad realizing you guys have been waiting for me for two days already.
Please put me on auto-skip until I get more time to play. It should be all over here in next 2 weeks.
I apologize to the team

I suggest to try and get to social democracy as soon as possible. are shall we revolt now already?

I took a look at the game and I can't believe we are still a Feudal Monarchy. We have outgrown that government. We need worker speed, and Feudal Monarchy SUCKS for laying rails. I hated it my last round and I can't believe we are still in it.


I plan to play later today. Can anyone give me a good reason not to revolt now?

Since this game looks like domination I think the high WW government of social democracy would suck.

1250 AD
We have a ton of cash, so I upgrade all troops to trenchers. I cash rush a few laborers.

I got no comments, so I started an immediate revolt. We will be a constitutional monarchy. I am sick of our slow moving labor force. I give Ethiopia Corporation for silks, $4 and wm. I give Babylon Thermodynamics for spices, $1 and wm.


1255 AD
I am surprised that Ulaanbaatar and St. Louis still aren't on the railnet. I plan to fix that during my turns.


1290 AD
The empire state is a lost cause, as the Iroquois will complete it in 3 turns.


1295 AD
(IT) The Iroquois completed wonderland.

==========================

Summary:
Make sure we build League of Nations. It goes obsolete quickly, but I would hate for the AI to sneak it a diplomatic victory on us.

We should have revolted a LONG time ago. Laying rails under a government without 150% worker efficiency is crazy.

Once Boston completes the missing research buildings it should do a tank every turn. We already have a city on artillery every turn, and one on machine gunner every turn. We have 2 cities that can build armies when we want.

I got it. Will play tommorrow or something.
I might want to try Commie this game, as no WW, nice production boosters cash rush sounds useful.
Did the Manors go away or do I need to sell them?

 

[romeothemonk]

Just being a builder, prepping for war. We will have excess foot troops when I am done, but one of my weaknesses is that I do not have enough defenders in my attacks.
Iro build Empire state on the 2nd turn.
The Iro start the spirit of St loius on the 3rd turn. We will need war with them, but I will just be the setup man unless they demand something.
looks like my setup days are over.

Create a world dogpile after the Iro declare. Start slowly killing stuff, and a spy plant fails.
Lose 2 cavs to a redlined Jeep, but Capture Kiohero, killing many blimps. Hehe. Our empire is now connected. Now to deliver some nasty hits.
Size 29 centralia gives us 14 new workers.
Not enough pop to really get us moving, but razing their biggest city with a lux should help their happiness.
We get bombed with frigging blimps, destroying the Academy in Boston. WOW.
We are safe from a cheese win for a while.

Keshiks and arty raze Kente, with his gems. make 1 slave, get 2 free. Raze Kaunewaka, a coal source for him, and remove any immeadiate threats to our former polynesian lands.
Decide to capture St. Regis as it has a lux and the emancipation proclomation.
Trade machine tools and total war to tibet for quantum, motion pictures and gpt.
Lose a Machine gunner on the IBT, raze Ganogeh. Now Boston can do unimpeded 1 turn Mk4's for a while.
Trade some units, with us getting the upper hand at a 6:1 rate, positioning for a strike.
We can look for the union label now, now we are learning to fly.
I start the first of 3 movie palaces.
He is dug in like a tick at Gayagahye. That city will break his empire when we take it.
I disagree with the military advisor, but hey. Next guy should wipe the floor with the Iro.

I would raze everything without a useful great wonder in it.
