Build, Baby, Build

[choxorn]

So... what are you going to do after you build all the wonders?

So... what are you going to do after you build all the wonders?

Build all the projects I'm gonna play until I win the game, of course. I'm not gonna stop when I get all the wonders.

Is it possible to found corps in Warlords?

I just noticed that there's no corp tab.

Yeah, the LOST WONDERS mod is sadly only for Warlords. You never realize just how much of an improvement BTS was until you play an older version. No corporations, spies (at least the good kind), improved dimplo, cool wonders such as the Christo Redentor, or random events.

 

[Yared]

Yeah Well, I think Choxorn was wondering what victory you're going for?

 

[Bobbtjoe]

Well, you'll just have to wait and see.

 

[Dragonxander PR]

I would like to know how's your progress towards the victory conditions--because at this rate, you seem best prepared for a cultural victory.

Sure thing!

Spoiler :

Obviously, a cultural victory is out of the question

All spaceship parts are technically projects, so I do have to build them all. But I may win by conquest before then, take a look on Zack's military base on Whales:

Spoiler :

Sorry guys, but I am sooooo out of it today. I might possibly get an update tommorow, but it isn't likely. Damn school, everbody knows the best stories are written on vacations or by unemployed people.

 

[choxorn]

Space Ship would be good if you have to build all the projects. Simultaneously launching into space and getting one of the other victory conditions wold be more awesome.

 

[Zack]

When I play Duel, I ALWAYS go for a military victory.

Alright guys, in order for this to be more interesting, I shall attempt to get two victories at once.

Spoiler :

In 1884, Rock N' Roll was invented. People going became common.


In 1890, Mali proposed this deal:

Spoiler :

40 gold for combustion. The only reason a civ would offer a deal this crappy is if they're one turn from discovering it themselves. Mali has two sources of oil. With oil come tanks and planes. With that, comes Mali with a military that rivals ours. Now we can't allow that. So we do the only sane thing possible:

Spoiler :

WE DECLARE WAR ON MALI

Our troops stationed in Whales hop on a transport headed towards the southern tip of Newland, while our air force bombards the farms and towns littered on the continent.

General Choxorn, was chosen to command of a unit of Modern Armor.

Zack had to consider many things before declaring war:

We would need to capture 3 cities in order to claim the oil.

Mali is currently "Friendly" with us. Will this war spoil our relationship?

Would capturing two cities push us over the domination limit?

Zack took many hours before coming to this final decision, but he was certain that this was the right thing to do.

Spoiler :

In 1892, the Space elevator was constructed. This was built to provide an easier way to transport goods from and to our colony on the moon. (Yeah, we colonized the moon, forgot to mention that.)

Spoiler :

Spoiler :

Spoiler :

A large fleet of Milanese troops were spotted off the coast of Whales. A submarine and a Battleship take care of them easily.

Spoiler :

Our troops also land on the Southern and Northern tips of Newland.

Will this war end badly for the Incans? Will we win a domination victory? Find out next time on Build Baby Build.

Mali is in the Industrial Era, No way you can lose.

 

[Yared]

Tanks lose pretty good against Modern Armor.

 

[Bobbtjoe]

Mali is in the Industrial Era, No way you can lose.

It's not losing I'm worried about, it's going over the domination limit. I want to win a space and domination victory on the same turn

Tanks lose pretty good against Modern Armor.

Yeah, but pretty soon he'll have planes, too. I'd rather eliminate the threat early on.

Spoiler :

Our forces land in Northern Mali and begin the take-over of Awadaghost, or however you spell it.

Spoiler :

BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

Spoiler :

All your Mali are belong to us.

Spoiler :

Meanwhile on the southern coast, we begin the conquest of some Malinese city that I now forget the name of.

Spoiler :

EPIC PWNAGE!!!!!1!!1!!!111!!!11!!1!!!1111111oneoneoneoneoneseven

Spoiler :

Spoiler :

Our first lose of the war. A freakin rifleman killed my artillery while Choxorn barely makes it out alive.

Spoiler :

The Hoover Dam (which does the same thing as the Three Georges Dam) was also constructed in 1894.

Spoiler :

In order to take control of all the oil, I have to conquer 4 cities, so I start that right away.

Spoiler :

BOOM! There's southern Mali, now a proud member of the Incan State.

Spoiler :

Easy come, easy go, eh? But Mali's culture still encompasses the oil One more city should do it...

Spoiler :

Aaaaaaaand there's Northern Mali. We now have both sources of oil!!!!

Spoiler :

In 1906, we dial up Masu Masu and tell him we're calling off the bombs, for a fee, of course. This effectively ends the Ten Years Oil Wars.

We could have made him our vassal if we wanted to, but didn't for fear of the domination limit.

Speaking of that...

Spoiler :

Yup, looking good.

Spoiler :

Oh, yeah! We also build Women's Suffrage sometime between all the war stuff. It gives:

-25% war weariness in all cities, + 2 culture

Will Inca's new overseas colonies prove to be too much to handle? Will we build all wonders? Find out next time on Build Baby Build.

 

[choxorn]

You know, you could burn some Malinese cities if you're afraid of hitting the domination limit.

Have you built every wonder yet, BTW?

 

[dimatud]

good game, I like these challanges as much as you do and certainly I'm enjoying reading it even if the action is not quite spectacular (being a small duel map with marble stone ind/fin etc etc), but looking forward to see the finish

 

[Yared]

you should be playing at prince

 

[eduhum]

You could wins by the 6 ways.
You're nearly on Domination and Conquest.
Time, well it's a question of time.
Spaceship, also easy.
Cultural I don't know, but I suppose you could do It.
And diplomatic yo vote for yourself and you win automatically.

 

[Dragonxander PR]

Diplomatic isn't possible, as that victory requires at least 3 players (with a vassal state, it would be doable).

Yeah, I'm such a pacifist And yes, every wonder is currently built by me.

Why thank you Duel maps are incredible boring compared to larger maps. I only choose to make this easy for sake of not embarrassing myself in front of you guys.

But if I played at a harder level, I might not get every wonder.

This is correct, diplomatic victories are not allowed without atleast 3 players.


Expect an update tomorrow!

 

[choxorn]

Yeah- And culture is impossible with his current culture level, and time would take too long.

He could, however, win by a combination of space and either one or both of the military victories.

 

[Yared]

It'd be cool if he sent off the spaceship, then, while it's on its way, take Mali.
