PT Just letting you guys know, weve far surpassed the stage in the game where I MM cities. We dont need no stinking Micromanagemnt!
Joanie has Steam, Nationalism, & Industrialism. Cleo & Xerx have Steam & Nat. Mongols have just Steam. Izzy is at par with us. Caeser, Biz, & Abu are stupid. We can buy Steam for roughly 80gpt & 70 gold, but NO! I wont sacrifice our future glory to serve the present. We must think about the children! Im declaring No more gpt for techs(unless really important of course) day across the empire. From this point forth we will be establishing ourselves at the dominant Scientific leader.
Change all Cathedrals to something else. We dont need churches, this is America we worship the almighty doller!
Turn off Lux tax, increase science to 40%, due in 5 at 38gpt.
That said I still go through & MM every single city. I hate myself!
Builds look good, all improvements with a couple cannons, Cavs & an Army.
Im counting down the seconds until those MAs expire & we gain about 250gpt.
I plan on going Steam>Medicine(for trading purposes)>Elec(which we might have to trade for)>Sci Method then picking up Atom Theory & Electronics from ToE, and pre-building Hoover. At that point it will simply be a matter of hitting Enter repeatedly until we decide whether we want a Diplo or Space win.
Send about 15 Cats from Cinci & Rockaway Beach to Southend for upgrade. At this point in the game, Id normally, trim out our military substantially at this point, but with RoPs galore I cant take a chance of a sneak attack.
Send a ton of pikes in the area, and every nearby artillery to our fleet town for the impending invasion. Ill just drop them on a mountain somewhere & let the Arabs beat themselves to death.
IT- Egyptians declare war on Abu. Dont worry your pretty little head, Cleo, well take care of him for you.
Cleo wants to trader her WM for ours & 1g. Please, you can have those as a symbol of our love.
T1 Our workers piss around do some menial tasks waiting for Steampower.
T2 We can get 6gpt & 22g from Biz for Physics. You sir, have a deal!
T3
IT- Izzy marches a stack of Cavs west. Go conquer someone girl!
Abu lands 2 Ansirs next to ummm somewhere.
Oh no!! What are we going to do against that?!? We better make peace while we still can.
T4 France has a monopoly on Electronics, no worries though. I wake up our stacks of slumbering workers & tell them to ummm get to work.
2 Elite Knights take out the Ansirs and . (cue trumpets)
Sherman runs back to Washington to sit around, drink whisky, & wait for us to learn Sci Method.
We have 3 sources of coal, with 1 of them not hooked up, no IW cities though.
IT France & Persia sign a peace treaty.
Orleans completes the Universal Suffrage. We have to keep our eyes on the F7 screen, if she starts ToE well have to sell everything thats not tied down to buy Electronics & Sci Meth. We can easily earn back all our spent cash selling 2 techs at monopoly price to her.
T5 Making good progress with the rails, Im concentrating on getting our main cities completely railroaded(the mines at least, unless growth is needed) before branching out. Since war isnt going to happen for a while(I hope) we can slack on laying rails to the front lines.
Our 3 Galleons take off with 90% D units, 2 cannons, a settler & an Elite Knight.
IT- Biz gives us a call & wants to trade WMs. I finally agree on Magnatism for 5gpt & 30g. Im doing better then the AI-AI trade rate, now thats generosity.
Persians drop off a single Cav.
T6 Vet cav picks him off.
Im not rushing for Industrialism, because for once we really dont need the production. If I had factories all Id do is build them so I could switch more cities to wealth.
Oh yea, Ive completely stopped building units. The cities that are already producing them can finish, but if theres nothing else needed in the city it goes to wealth.
IT- Arabs land Ansir.
@#%$!! Joan starts ToE. *groan*
T7 That hurts in a bad way. I immediately blow 200g investigating Cartres.
The good news is we have roughly 10 turns, the bad news is that everyone else besides Joan is completely broke(not a gpt or more then 15g to be had anywhere). The much much more worsest news is she's devoting 100% to research and still somehow pulling in 517gpt, has 9179g in the bank, and is up Nationalism, Industrialism, Electronics, & Replacable Parts.
If we dont get ToE, shell get those bonus techs, meaning shell get Hoover. Meaning we might as well stop researching & turn our Leader into an army because well never catch up to her. And if she continues at that pace, we'll be very hard pressed to get Fission before she either builds the UN and abstains for the rest of the game, or has already blasted off leaving us dreaming of when a fair maiden named Joanie graced this world with her presence.
She wants 510gpt & all our gold for Electronics............ we can't haggle with her.
Im gonna pause here to make dinner(and for dramatic effect DUN DUN DUUUN!)
...............To be continued. (Ain't I a bastard?)
