Sorry! I'm bouncing back and forth between the threads and getting mail on my phone. There are crossposts galore and I'm starting to get confused. Back to my Khan set. You were right on all counts BTW

Use the MGL to build our 3rd Army.
Thermo will build the MA in 8 turns.
One of our other high shield cities wll start on the Pentagon as well. We should then have both by the end of my turnset. (we've got plenty of units for the invasion, IMO, and are paying tons in support, so I don't mind taking a city off military for 8 turns or so).

At the time I wrote that, it was a net of 50gpt. We were paying gpt for the furs, and they were paying more from a separate deal (probably a tech).

Fellas, I swear I am not making this up.
I made the 3rd army as discussed. A little later, I got another leader and built our 4th army.
Now I generated another leader. 5th army? I have cities building the MA, Pentagon, and Intelligence Agency as well...
Hard to believe, I know, but we are like 40-4 in battles and I am attacking the redlined invading units with elites whenever possible.
Oh, we have our own coal now.

Sounds like you're having a ball!
The Arty/Cav/Infantry combination is so powerful, it's almost cheating; at Deity, I frequently find myself invading Tank-owning civs with it, and the result is just as inevitable.
Do as you wish with the spare MGL; I don't think that there are any expensive SW's that will need rushing, only the one SS Part, and we can pre-build that.

. Zulu are already down 4 cities and I've only just started turn 3. Only problem is that it's taking me a while to play the set (sorry, I'm pretty slow and deliberate with war turns), but I should be done either tonight or tomorrow. I thought about it some more and I think I am going to use the MGL to rush the Pentagon - the 3-cav armies get kind of gassed quick (I yellowed 2 this turn - Mauch Chunk was on a hill, so that last redlined rifle was a bit tenacious). So I would enjoy having the 4th cav in the armies.

No apologies necessary; as I've said before, I'd rather it be played right than quickly, and war turns are crucial turns.
Sounds like a good call.

Speaking of SS parts, in another recent SG, Bede had a notion which I find truly delightful: Set up prebuilds such that you can complete all ten SS parts on the same turn.

Pre-Turn Strategy:
- Just like Longstreet at 2nd Bull Run. Wait until the enemy exhausts his offensive strength against us, then line up our divisions and hit them with overwhelming force.
- Raze for slaves, resettle his land and create specialist farms.

- Uh... yikes. There is a stack of 9 Artillery sitting unprotected outside of Pergamon, 2 tiles from Zulu territory. Move 2 Infantry to cover.
- Switch New Delphi (settler in 1) to Artillery due in 11. The city is size 6 and will grow in 2, and is on a river, so I would like to grow it to size 7 to get the extra unit support. Switch New Thessalonica (Artillery in 41) which has no Aquaduct and is at size 5 already to still get a settler in 1.
- A little mm gets us down to -91gpt. There were a couple cops working in the core cities when it was more profitable to put them back to work.
- Aha. We are paying 80gpt to Arabia for furs. It would be nice to keep all the WLTK days, but I want that cash back. I'm renegotiating this one. Dial up Arabia and alter the deal (pray I do not alter it any further!) to give him Ivory, Spices, and 33gpt for the Furs instead. So now we are -44gpt.
And we're off.

- Zulu are down to their core, their corrupt NW area I blocked off and just let alone since it is no threat, and their 2 islands.
- I think I see what I should have been doing with the combat settlers all along, but no matter. The Zulu core will not survive the next turnset. Even if I could have gone faster I don't think I would have wanted to - since we still need the settlers, and I do not want to leave much territory open lest we get some AI on the other continent decide to come plant an unwanted city.
- The question becomes if we want the Zulu eliminated completely or just off the continent. If we keep them around some of their cities we kept for purposes of furthering the advance still have some flip risk.
- Need tons more settlers. I have been firing settlers out of our size 12 cities once they hit the cap and waste food, but not before since I did not want to impair productivity too much. Rushing them in the farms when they get big enough is good too I think.
- Sorry about all the wealth builds, but I honestly could not think of anything else to build. We have enough troops to finish out the war, though we could use more artillery but I don't want to pay the unit support, and after that it's just a matter of defending our continent and rushing to space. We don't need banks in the core since we are running high science.
- We have another unused MGL - we should be able to build Wall Street after the last Stock exchange finishes - we could use him for that.
- Egypt is not in a MPP with Zulu any longer, we could make peace if we wanted. I think we should. We'll be done this war soon and they are the ones that could ally some other fool on the continent.
- Note that Grand River is building a worker - it is a slave worker, so this should still be within the variant rules - correct? If not, change it in the pre-turn since it will be done this turn.
And a fun stat. At the beginning of my turnset, we had 46 cities, 578 tiles of land, and 348 pop. The Zulu had 45 cities, 1025 land tiles, and 452 population.
Now? The Zulu have been reduced to 21 cities, 519 tiles of land, and 178 population. We have 80 cities, 914 land tiles, and 438 population. I think that is the most I have expanded in 10 turns ever.

Sorry. By the time I had finished actually playing the set, my children were practically begging me to take them to the park, since I had basically been ignoring them to try and get the turnset done over the last few days. I'll try and get a screenie or 2 tonight.
