C3C Training succession game

[Hawklord]

Well somebodies maths needs polishing up. (Alneyan ) We have 2 turn 5's
So to adapt I have started at 12 and played 4 turns to 15.

Pre-Turn
Good job with the Celts.
We seem a bit overexposed at the moment.
One citizen heading down the Iberian peninsular without an escort will be in big trouble when Carthoginian forces come up looking for revenge. Very soon.
Sicily needs reinforcing as Carthage will act to retake the island. We need more troops there.
We could also do with some cats to reduce Carthoginian forces when they attack.

I'll try and set up garrison towns on both of the roads out of Spain to contain counter-attacks.

Turn 11 (300BC)
Marsala: Garison->catapult
Syracuse: Garison->catapult
Canisium: LegionaryII->LegionaryII

Caeser's army move in for R&R
South of Alqualonde:
Pulled back citizen to meet legions for support.
Nargothrond: Spare Garrison sent towards La Tenne.

Luna Founded to the East, Archer garrisons town to keep out Sythians.

Other

Move to Literature in 4 turns (don't need Legionaire III yet, move towards Imperialism plus Bachanalia's with Lit)

Post Turn
Need to keep building forces. We now have gpt deals with most civs so hopefully they are less likely to attack us. Keeping Mac and Persia on parr we gained Monarchy and Astronomy + gold and stuff.
Now hold both islands, 1 left.
Two choke points set up on Iberian Peninsula need reinforcing, make good staging areas for invasion force, plus allow us to develop lands further back.
Little expansion East yet, may be worth looking at that when we can support it.
It's up to next but it might be useful to have a city opposite Messana for safe troop transfer to Scicily.
Also Research can still be changed if team disagree with choice.

 

[Alneyan]

I should have made that clearer. The turn 5 was simply a couple of changes I made to the previous gamefile (some micromanagement, and selling a tech to Persia), so I didn't really play this turn. I fully played turns 6, 7, 8 and 9, and ended the game on turn 10 before generating the turn, in case you wanted to make a few changes; the previous player did the same as well.

 

[Hawklord]

OK sorry I misunderstood. I appologise your maths is fine.
To avoid future confusion:
Can we all put dates on out turns.
Any adjustments would come under Preturn heading, with date if you like.

I'll play another turn and renumber mine then.

Edit: Post is now correct with the right file (I hope).

 

[nivekclough]

just posting to let u no that i will play this game (the one i have time to play at school... of course i didn't just install a game on this computer prof smith!)

 

[nivekclough]

Preturn-
Start looking at trades we have going etc, look like we're doing well, on to checking shield waste... GASP! we're ok, except for rome, which will waste 20 shields when the legionary II is finished, that needs to be fixed... check other options, the only tempting one is switching it to heroic epic... it'll only take 10 turns, and i cant help it, the additional leaders will b a huge help... move garison from syracuse to protect helpless worker near carthagian galley, move legionary I to guard worker near caralis... with that i feel my setup phase is done!

Turn 1- (note will post turns in incriments, just finished turn 1 and already have tons of notes)

between turns
-AI
various carthagian galleys move, carthage moves one sword between veii and cumae
Scythia and Persia sign against Mace. Darius demands MT, i refuse, but buy an alliance against carthage for 312 gold (decided by pitting him against carthage both will be weakened, this is good for us, though he wont make a huge difference, he may lose a few ships)
Carthage starts colossus
Scythia move 3 horses to mace.

Me-
Caralis riots (give them entertainment i stupidly took away without thinking, duh!)
resistance in the city to the N ends
Nargodthrnd barracks-> HC
Marsala Cat-> Cat
Move cat to support sycilian guard
send archer and L2 to galley for a planned raid against carthages only (connected) iron... hopefully this will cripple counterstrikes
Caesar kills lone sword (mentioned above)
FOUND POMPEII at "boot tip" begin garrison
shift troops to defend against galley E of beneventum
Legionary 1 to luna as defence
found Ravenna (starts worker to complete in 5 with growth) W of Alqualonde move garrison in to defend

TURN 1 END

 

[Noldodan]

Nive, where's the save? We need to keep this going.

 

[Hawklord]

If niveclough hasn't come back in the next 24 I'd suggest that we play from the last save and he can jump back in when he has his problems sorted out.

 

[Hawklord]

Looks like nivekclough still has problems. It would be best if noldodan picks up the game from my last save and plays 5 from there. Nive can jump back in when he has his new PC set up.
