Ok, then you are up Erik.

Go get them.

Grimjack
 
Got it, but I may take some time, slowing our (hitherto) fast turnaround... Middle Ages in 2 pages.
 
alright guys, im back and will be able to play tomorrow. go ahead and take this one erik. i will try to concentrate on taking better notes this time around
 
The Chronicle of Circon
Being an account of the reign of Erik V.
At once after his coming to power, Erik decided to trim the military. Those 7 Warriors considered obsolete were disbanded- blah, stupid time is hard to write.
I disbanded 7 warriors, shuffled pikemen. Brandenburg changed from temple to market, it will provide more happy faces.
Turn 1: Economics > Metallurgy.
To Babylon: Economics and Incense for Metallurgy and WInes.
To Rome: Econ and Metal for Phys.
To Persia: Econ and Metal for ToG.
However, we cannot buy Magnetism, so I must research it.
Turn 2: Sell Chemistry to Azteca for another 20 turns of Ivory. France and Russia sign MPP. Continue exploring to the west. STart mining by Berlin as it is size 12 with +4 food.
TUrn 3: Frankfrut cannon > cathedral.
Turn 4: Palassberg musket > cannon. Barndenburg market > bank.
Turn 5: Magnetism discovered. We get our free Nationalism. Bremen university > bank. Everybody except rome (and aztecs) has Magnetism already, so I sell it to Rome for Furs, 20 gold and 7 gpt. We are researching Steam Power at a slightly slow rate for the benefit of Wall Street.
TUrn 6: Konigsberg Knight > rifle. Palassberg cannon > rifle.
Turn 7: Workers moved. Persia is now up MilTrad on us, Babylon is up MilTrad and *steam power*, rome is up MilTrad but down Nat. France is up Miltrad and SP, Russia up MilTrad. I pull our science down, then buy SP from Babylon for 100 gold and 95 gpt. Lots of workers set to railroading. I'm not sure whther to go for Industrialization or Electricity > Rep parts, so I set sci to Ind but gaining gold.
Turn 8:Munchen Market > Worker. Nurnberg market > bank. Hannover market > worker. I've been working on the rail-road... Jus' ta pass the live-long daa-ay... I sell nationalism to Rome for MilTrad, Free Artistry and wmap. We have exactly one coal on all of this island, it is south of Palassberg. Russia has neither coal nor saltpeter. Persia ha 2 coal, rome and babs 1.
Turn 9: Russia is building Shake's.
Interturn: Babylon demands tmap and 55 gold. We just paid him 95 gpt, so I refuse. He backs down. Don't want to lose 1790 gold, do you?
Turn 10: Konigsberg rifle > worker. Munchen worker > worker. Palassberg rifle > worker. Hannover worker > worker. Seeing a trend here?

Next turn Wall Street will be ready. Then we will gain 50 gpt and can research twice as fast. I am glad we revolted into Democracy last turn- the tech pace is blindingly fast here. If we get ToE (I don't have a prebuild started, we need factories) then it might very well give us Motorized Transport.

It's incredible to press Reply, look back 40 posts and realize that then we had not discovered Polytheism yet, and had 4 cities less than today, being not finished with the settling phase.
 
I have it, and will play later today.

Ais can really churn out production when they are not at war.
It may very well be time to try to stir up some hard feelings amongst them.

Isn't it BoG now? :confused:
Either way, a three-person roster goes crazy when one drops out. I suggest either Ville or BoG should play now.
 
Agree. A two person Sg is somewhat weird. WIll wait for Ville, unless BoG can play during weekend.

Grimjack

So roster would be:

Erik -- Played
BewareofGnomes -- Up if available
Ville -- on deck
Grimjack
 
i can play later on tonight. i have about 3-4 sg's that need to play, so if grimjack can plat it sometime today, he can have it
 
Sorry, I will be at work all day today, and likely tired after that.

( Being a sysadmin is often fine, but you do have the occasional weekend work, leaving you bushed. )

Preturn - analyze the situation.there is a coal 2 squares north of St. Petersburg

Turn 1 - Wall Street finished, industrialization in 8 at +48 gpt. Start factory prebuild in berlin. Will start more when we have sufficient workers and it gets closer to industrialization.

Turn 2 - optimize worker factories for food, not shields.

Turn 3 -lots of worker movements

Turn 4 - railroading lezpig. Smith’s due in 3

Turn 5 - start factory pre builds

Turn 6 - railroading. Communism is widely spread. Since persia and france signed an mpp, I think we should get everyone in a world war and force them all into communism.

Turn 7 - income jumps 32 gpt.

IT - Russia wants an MPP. HA! In 20 turns youll be dead!

Turn 8 - still more rail roading. We had an *extreme* lack of workers.

IT - The russians declared war on us!

I’m stopping here. The russians killed one pike and thats it.good luck to the next leader.
 
If you have time to see this...
How about signing France to an MPP. Russia attacks us, declares on France. Russia attacks France, declares on Persia. Russia gets destroyed and we can raze their cities for free workers.
 
And maybe, just maybe, we could sneak off a good city or two in former russian lands.
At least those two cities that are having culture wars with us.

Grimjack
 
Nothing really happened. (If you don't count this WW1 style MPP thing;) )
France is at war with Russia
France is at war with Rome
Persia will be at war with Russia;)
Persia is at war with Rome
Babylon is at war with Russians
