Bz7 - Conquest Of Conquests

[Teknoice]

Right things are slow though.. stupid workers need to hurry up so the cities can get more shields.

Definately a good thing French are polite, especially on Sid.

 

[Earp]

SAAM, are you going to be able to play before betazed gets back?

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

Oh. Sorry. Didnt realize I was up. I'll play tonight

 

[Earp]

No problem. With betazed out of town, there is no rush.

BZ7
Been a while since I last put game to turn log. Well, Ive got 10 turns and several dots to fill. Lets take Sid out for a spin.
Preturn: Settler in Rotterdam will go to yellow circle.
T1: Rotterdam: Warrior->Warrior
T2:
T3: Im rusty. I forget to MM Amsterdam as It grows to Size 6 and it riots . Loose one turn on settler production and settler arrives on yellow dot.
T4: The Hague is founded on Yellow Dot. Starts warrior, no corruption (just keeping note due to Bz's mod.)
T5: Amsterdam: Settler->Settler. Rotterdam: Warrior->Settler (go Agr.!) Amsterdam settler headed to Green dot.
T6:
T7: Settler arrives at green dot, and Lo and behold! YAC! (Yet Another Cow!).
T8: Byzantine city of Caesarea (NOT! Their capitol) builds Collosus.French have sent a Curragh our way. Utrecht is built on green dot.
T9: Amsterdam: Settler->Curragh (Just 2 turns, and will help us explore. Remember: No contact trading 'till Printing Press). Hauge: Warrior->Worker (vetoable). Thebes builds Pyramids. Settler will head for Red Dot.
T10: Chichen Itza builds Oracle. Thats all for here. Settler is on his way to Red Dot, as seen on previous page. Another settler is due in 3, to go to Black dot, but we need more dots!

The Save

0 - 2150 BC
Move warrior from Rotterdam to Amsterdam
Move warrior in Amsterdam West to explore
Decrease lux to 50%
France is up BW, Mas, Wheel, WC, and CB

1 - 2110 BC
Amsterdam Curragh --> Worker
Amsterdam grows. Increase lux slider
MM Rotterdam and Amsterdam to complete settler next turn.

2 - 2070 BC
Rotterdam Settler --> Worker
Change Hague from worker to warrior. We need workers, but we also need warriors. Rotterdam and Amsterdam can more effectively produce workers/settlers. I think we need our other cities to produce warriors to keep up with the number of cities we are founding. We need atleast one warrior escorting each settler and guarding each city.
Found Groningen. Begin work on warrior.
Warrior in mountains pops hut and gets barbs.

IBT The barbs kill our warrior.

3 - 2030 BC
We finish connecting the wines.
Amsterdam Worker --> Settler
The Hague Warrior --> Warrior
Utrecht Warrior --> Warrior
Decrease lux slider

4 - 1990 BC
Rotterdam Worker --> Settler

5 - 1950 BC
Explore
MM The Hague to produce warrior in 1 turn instead of 2
MM Amsterdam and Rotterdam to increase Rotterdam's spt

6 - 1910 BC
The Hague Warrior --> Barracks
Found Eindhoven. Begin work on warrior

7 - 1870 BC
Amsterdam Settler --> Settler
Utrecht Warrior --> Worker
Groningen Warrior --> Warrior
Decrease lux slider

8 - 1830 BC
MM Eindhoven to prevent wasting a shield

9 - 1790 BC
MM Rotterdam and Amsterdam

10 - 1750 BC
Finish Writing. Begin on MM. This can be changed without any loss. Do you all think we should go for MM, Lit, CoL, or Phil?
Rotterdam Settler --> Granary. I am not sure about this. We can produce more settlers quicker in the long run if we build a granary.
Eindhoven Warrior --> Barracks
Establish an embassy with France
Paris - size 4 - 8spt/9fpt/9gpt - Palace/Temple - 3 spearmen - wines/iron/horses
France is still up atleast BW, Mas, Wheel, WC, and CB
The only three tech trade we can make is for BW, WC, and CB
Trade Writing and 247 gold for BW, WC, and CB
France is up atleast Mas, Wheel, IW, and Myst. They have 13 cities compared to our 6.

Amsterdam needs 30 shields to produce a settler every four turns. If you MM Amsterdam and Rotterdam, you can maximize the shields going to Rotterdam and not waste any shields by going over 30 in Amsterdam.

The SAVE

I think we should send the settler S of Utrecht to grab the three spices at blue dot. I think we should try to settle grey, yellow, red and green ASAP to box in the French. I think the settler NE of Hague should be sent to the yellow dot.

Thoughts?

 

[betazed]

Hey, I am back and I see I am up. Will try to play today.

 

[betazed]

I played my turns.

here is the save. Write up follows soon.

 

[betazed]

Went full steam for philosophy, since getting that would give us a free tech. Someone must have learnt it before us. We did not get anything. However, traded it for IW from France.

Added another curragh going in the other direction. Now three cities are churning settlers.

We should research at full since we cannot trade and do 2-fers. Our only hope is that we will meet someone soon. Our curragh was attacked by barbs but survived.

We got the spices. But France has pretty much boxed us in. We have to expand sideways east and west.

After connecting spices we managed to bring down lux to 0.

Teknoice is up.

 

[betazed]

**bump**

[Earp]

I dunno.

I guess either you or SAAM can take up this game and we can skip him this turn.

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

Can Earp grab it? I dont know whats going to happen to my internet connection with this bilzard.

 

[betazed]

*bump*

Is there no interest in playing this game?
Is conquests so hated?
Should we abandon this game and start a new one in PTW? Will that provide more interest?

 

[Earp]

I am interested in continuing. I might have some time to play this evening.
