BWIH2 Revenge of the footballnerds.
- Thread starter culdeus
- Start date
I researched replaceble parts and Rifling is being researched now, not that we'll really need Redcoats. JC doesn't have Astronomy yet so no worries about him expanding or even sending our a retalitory force. I have lots of troops on the way and a bunch more just waiting for Galleons to come and get them. This shouldn't take more than a couple more sets of turns.

We got any cannons left? High cultural bonuses there.

Still boosts score and puts out GP points and culture.
Was brainstorming on a followup game.
What of:
The Al Gore Slingshot?
No Tech Trading
Malinese
Must click on Fiber Optics to start with and skip all techs not required for Fiber Optics then build the innernets to get the gap techs (if needed).
Hasn't this been done as an SG here?culdeus said:Still boosts score and puts out GP points and culture.

It was mentioned in strategy forum, but as far as I know no sg has attempted it.

Looks like there are 3 cities left. I lost one empty Galleon that got sniped by one of JC's caravels crossing back to the motherland. There should be plenty of troops on JC's island to finish the task next turn. I have no idea how scoring works, so I probably fudged up the max scoring potential we had.

Kupcho aught to finish this game. At any case go ahead and polish them off. A <1700 conquest victory is pretty solid. I haven't had one that fast yet. We probably would have had domination if we would have kept Cyrus' stuff and maybe populated one or two of the extra islands and settled more of monty's land.
It's suprising to see how little the AI expanded except for India. Alex had a good island to his east that he ignored so he could work some ice tiles...
JC never researched astronomy so he was isolated the entire game. What a joke.
Clearly the 3 gold tile fort knox was the differentiator for us. In reality the rest of our island was pretty weak. Not too much hammer production and few grassy tiles to put together to make a 100% commerce city.
I intended for there to be more "stringy" islands on this map instead it played like a continent map. Oh well.

BT 1610 Reduce research to 50%. What the hell, let's discover Islam in 3 turns.
1 1615 3 Longbowman manage to take out one of our weakened grenadiers outside Pisae. NewSmoo builds a grenadier and we set to build a Redcoat (yay Redcoats!). Cumae destroyed. Pisae bombarded, support arrives. I note that we still have a GA in NewSmoo. We can start a Golden Age (where's the other GP???) so given that this game is at an end, I start our Golden Age. These are like timeouts at the end of the half, you don't get to keep them for the next game, right???
2 1620 A couple of cats inside Pisae managed a lot of carnage to our troops, such that we incurred the loss of two cannon to cross/longbowmen. No matter. Pisae falls.
3 1625 Complete Divine Right - Persepolis founds Islam. Move to Military Tradition.
4 1630 Healing and troop movement
5 1635 Troops arrayed outside of Neapolis
6 1640 Neapolis destroyed
7 1645 Conquest victory declared!
Game score of 32,373
By the way, what does this mean below (session 2, session 3 starts)?
What's next? The crazy Internet game?

I started the save as "session 1". Re-opened it to take screenshots of the start and then I think Duff made the first moves for session 3 IIRC.
