I have the save ... but due to the tinderbox dryness of the summer, I have to go into fire control mode ... I live in the bush and although not near me, there are already fires happening in Tasmania, I am also organising a Xmas function for our pub on the 16th Dec (for kiddies and later that night for the adults ) So it may be a couple of days until I can play and send.

Sorry guys

Settlement Plan

Spoiler :

* Priority is Gold.
* First Build is the Treasure producing improvement.
* Expand the City Borders with a Temple Rush.
* Maybe allow the gap else the Dutch will attack out of frustration, so get Gold connected to core.

NOTE
... concede the lower SouthWest from Baltimore to French so they can get some Treasure units happening.
... Therefore move the RedCross (City Site directly below Baltimore) one tile to the East.
... French can have the area with the 4 remaining in the SouthWest, it will also be usefull if Dutch is our target.

The Royal Marriage ...
I, Ferric Auris III Queen of England, who is actually a man, but one with a weakness for women's fashion am betrothed.
wonder who will wear the wedding dress me or the 'young, extremely beautiful and wild' French bride, daughter of Roy de France, the King of France.

Kingdoms Alligned
This includes doubling our tech research, trading knowledge cheaply, sharing plans and maps, sharing intelegence of the other teams ... and dividing the new world which will hamper the expansion of the others ... Any extra luxury or strategic resource should be automatically gifted to the other party ... we are engaged after all LOL ... We should swap World Maps too at some stage ...

Regarding our rivals ... I think that we should cease all future technology trade ... and discuss if an opportunity does arise ... I would agree to a veto clause which states that we can trade with any rival ONLY if we both agree.

I have another daughter, which lacks the beauty of the first one so I am willing to give a majestic doiry(?) to anyone who is brave enough to marry her. I'm sending her picture but please... take a deep breath before seing it as she is not pretty. She does not follow her father's looks... hmmm... came to think of it, she does look like one of servants... such a coincidence, isn't it?

France 1538 ... I think Spain has refused my offer so he didn't get the map.

1/3 of the game is already gone... time is starting to press!

Cheers, Le Roy

Me 1538 ... Damn the Spanish beating me to the Smith Trading Company ... since you are researching Scientific Method, would you consider that I build Newton's as I have accumulated 211 shields and will waste them if I switch ... If not then I will build the Bank or University and get into unit production ... What do you suggest.

I will have Mercantilism in 2 turns.

I may be having troubles with the Dutch ... they have a settler waiting for I assume his 2 workers to complete a chop which is clearing terrain for a city ... I have a Temple in Baltimore so it is a race LOL

However if he builds a city next to my border I will consider it an aggressive act ... BUT they seemed to have backed off with moving his settler away.

Do you think that they would be an easy target ... we could certainly with ease blockade their capital and sink/capture their treasure ships? Or do you consider them a potential ally in a war with Spain or Portugal ... Spain is closer to us both BUT tough ... Portugal is further away from our units.

Dutch are at war with Inca ... maybe we could wait until Spain and/or Portugal joins in versus this native clearing action ... or do you want to join in and get a foothold down south?

France 1539 ... Dear Sir,

As you were so kind to my daughter (not all men were) in her first visit there, I will let you have the wonder you request. I should have the tech in 6 turns. What are you researching after Mercantilism?

From a geographical point of view the Dutch could be a target, but the thing is that he's not a menace. Spain is! And SPain already has 1/3 of the needed VP needed!

Wars are often more difficult than predicted, so having a war with the Dutch would get all our nations weaker while Spain got away with getting more gold and silver back to Spain!

I suggest we try to get an alliance with the Dutch against Spain. What sayest thou?

Kind Regards, Le Roy
>
Me 1539 ... Greeting Sir

Intel for your Pirates ... Dutch have 2 Carracks - St.Peter (4/4) and unnamed (3/3) off London. Although they have a Frigate off Irish coast.

I have Mercantilism next turn ... next will be Milling or Ship Building what do you prefer?


I suggest we try to get an alliance with the Dutch against Spain. What sayest thou?
They are at war with Aztecs at the moment ... you could sound them out, better coming from you I think. Keep our relationship secret for now.

Notes
* Cities cannot be founded on Forest, Jungle, Swamp, Mountains.
* Explorers disband to 2 Shields.
* Treasure is 200 Gold and 1000 Victory Points when returned to Capital.
* Overlap Cities to get access to Luxuries ... this will enable more Treasure units.

On to the Dutch von Clausewitz

 

[classical_hero]

Spoiler Lurker's Only :

I have managed to build the Colonial Capital in Hispaniola.


I have nine Treasures that can be returned, but I will now wait until I have enought to return them in one go before even showing that I have enough treasure to my opponents. I will finish off Coutner Reformation because it will mean that I will then be able to have Missionaries which mean I can get quick production of units sice they are only 30 gold compared to 70 gold for Knights and Conquistadors, thus I can fool my opponents into thinking that I do not have that many troops compared to them. Once I have researched Counter Reformation I will then cut off all research so that i can rush plenty of ships and Missionaries to fulfil this job.

wonder who will wear the wedding dress me or the 'young, extremely beautiful and wild' French bride, daughter of Roy de France, the King of France.

Kingdoms Alligned
This includes doubling our tech research, trading knowledge cheaply, sharing plans and maps, sharing intelegence of the other teams ... and dividing the new world which will hamper the expansion of the others ... Any extra luxury or strategic resource should be automatically gifted to the other party ... we are engaged after all LOL ... We should swap World Maps too at some stage ...

Regarding our rivals ... I think that we should cease all future technology trade ... and discuss if an opportunity does arise ... I would agree to a veto clause which states that we can trade with any rival ONLY if we both agree.

France 1539 ... Dear Sir,

As you were so kind to my daughter (not all men were) in her first visit there, I will let you have the wonder you request. I should have the tech in 6 turns. What are you researching after Mercantilism?

From a geographical point of view the Dutch could be a target, but the thing is that he's not a menace. Spain is! And SPain already has 1/3 of the needed VP needed!

Wars are often more difficult than predicted, so having a war with the Dutch would get all our nations weaker while Spain got away with getting more gold and silver back to Spain!

I suggest we try to get an alliance with the Dutch against Spain. What sayest thou?

Kind Regards, Le Roy
>
Me 1539 ... Greeting Sir

Intel for your Pirates ... Dutch have 2 Carracks - St.Peter (4/4) and unnamed (3/3) off London. Although they have a Frigate off Irish coast.

I have Mercantilism next turn ... next will be Milling or Ship Building what do you prefer?


I suggest we try to get an alliance with the Dutch against Spain. What sayest thou?
They are at war with Aztecs at the moment ... you could sound them out, better coming from you I think. Keep our relationship secret for now.
>
Me 1540 ... I have sent Mercantilism, I intend to research Ship Building, Milling or Military Tradition ... what do you think is better for our cause? I notice Spain already have this technology.

Notes
* Cities cannot be founded on Forest, Jungle, Swamp, Mountains.
* Explorers disband to 2 Shields.
* Treasure is 200 Gold and 1000 Victory Points when returned to Capital.
* Overlap Cities to get access to Luxuries ... this will enable more Treasure units.

On to the Dutch von Clausewitz


Sorry for the long delay, I have had an unexpected frantically hectic RL scenario. Wild extreme weather added to tension at home and work, a fireworks display which I was shooting was never sure to go ahead until 1 hour before firing (total fire ban for weeks then solid rain beginning the day before which led to flooding of the site)

Spoiler :

I have 12 Treasures in my cites and 7 of them are captured by units. I have some more units going to the new world to get some more treasure back home. I have now turned off research so that I can start to rush some frigates for protection of my precious cargo. I have rushed a few units as a result of my new found wealth. I discovered Counterformation and as a result I start to build misssionaries on mass to get all that treasure back home quickly and cheaply.

Settlement Plan

Spoiler :

* Priority is Gold.
* First Build is the Treasure producing improvement.
* Expand the City Borders with a Temple Rush.
* Maybe allow the gap else the Dutch will attack out of frustration, so get Gold connected to core.

NOTE
... concede the lower SouthWest from Baltimore to French so they can get some Treasure units happening.
... Therefore move the RedCross (City Site directly below Baltimore) one tile to the East.
... French can have the area with the 4 remaining in the SouthWest, it will also be usefull if Dutch is our target.

I, Ferric Auris III Queen of England, who is actually a man, but one with a weakness for women's fashion am betrothed.
wonder who will wear the wedding dress me or the 'young, extremely beautiful and wild' French bride, daughter of Roy de France, the King of France.

Kingdoms Alligned
This includes doubling our tech research, trading knowledge cheaply, sharing plans and maps, sharing intelegence of the other teams ... and dividing the new world which will hamper the expansion of the others ... Any extra luxury or strategic resource should be automatically gifted to the other party ... we are engaged after all LOL ... We should swap World Maps too at some stage ...

Regarding our rivals ... I think that we should cease all future technology trade ... and discuss if an opportunity does arise ... I would agree to a veto clause which states that we can trade with any rival ONLY if we both agree.

French Pirates will be named with a W.

France 1539 ... <snip>
From a geographical point of view the Dutch could be a target, but the thing is that he's not a menace. Spain is! And SPain already has 1/3 of the needed VP needed!

Wars are often more difficult than predicted, so having a war with the Dutch would get all our nations weaker while Spain got away with getting more gold and silver back to Spain!

I suggest we try to get an alliance with the Dutch against Spain. What sayest thou?

Kind Regards, Le Roy

Notes
* Cities cannot be founded on Forest, Jungle, Swamp, Mountains.
* Explorers disband to 2 Shields.
* Treasure is 200 Gold and 1000 Victory Points when returned to Capital.
* Overlap Cities to get access to Luxuries ... this will enable more Treasure units.

Settlement Plan

Spoiler :

* Priority is Gold.
* First Build is the Treasure producing improvement.
* Expand the City Borders with a Temple Rush.
* Maybe allow the gap else the Dutch will attack out of frustration, so get Gold connected to core.

NOTE
... concede the lower SouthWest from Baltimore to French so they can get some Treasure units happening.
... Therefore move the RedCross (City Site directly below Baltimore) one tile to the East.
... French can have the area with the 4 remaining in the SouthWest, it will also be usefull if Dutch is our target.

The Royal Marriage ...
I, Ferric Auris III Queen of England, who is actually a man, but one with a weakness for women's fashion am betrothed.
wonder who will wear the wedding dress me or the 'young, extremely beautiful and wild' French bride, daughter of Roy de France, the King of France.

Kingdoms Alligned
This includes doubling our tech research, trading knowledge cheaply, sharing plans and maps, sharing intelegence of the other teams ... and dividing the new world which will hamper the expansion of the others ... Any extra luxury or strategic resource should be automatically gifted to the other party ... we are engaged after all LOL ... We should swap World Maps too at some stage ...

Regarding our rivals ... I think that we should cease all future technology trade ... and discuss if an opportunity does arise ... I would agree to a veto clause which states that we can trade with any rival ONLY if we both agree.

French Pirates will be named with a W.
... Winona, Wilheim, Wind, Wager

France 1539 ... <snip>
From a geographical point of view the Dutch could be a target, but the thing is that he's not a menace. Spain is! And SPain already has 1/3 of the needed VP needed!

Wars are often more difficult than predicted, so having a war with the Dutch would get all our nations weaker while Spain got away with getting more gold and silver back to Spain!

I suggest we try to get an alliance with the Dutch against Spain. What sayest thou?

Kind Regards, Le Roy

Me 1541 ... Will you approach the Dutch with regards to alliance?
I will have Ship Building in 7 turns?
When will you have Scientific Method?

France 1542 ... Dear Sir,

The Dutch accepts our proposal and is willing to attack within 5-10 turns. Shall we go for it? Time is really pressing on!

Will you contact the Portuguese? I doubt he'll join, but it's worth a shot.

Notes
* Cities cannot be founded on Forest, Jungle, Swamp, Mountains.
* Explorers disband to 2 Shields.
* Treasure is 200 Gold and 1000 Victory Points when returned to Capital.
* Overlap Cities to get access to Luxuries ... this will enable more Treasure units.
