I had planned to destroy Greece in three turns, but Greece declared war on us Arabs and ruined that plan. Instead of getting units into place and having a deliberate assualt on the Greek Empire I found myself reacting and not planning.

And then the Ottomans and the Egyptians declared war to really make things interesting.

We have about 60 Artillery, with a stack of around 30 or so near the capital, wating to be used. We also have around 30 Cavalry (with more on the way) that we will have to use wisely (after the artillery has done its job). Since the Cavalry as so few and cannot be squandered (unlike the Ansars during our Golden Age) I will have to rely more on artillery and combat settlers. And that is a good thing.

We lost an Army taking Delphi that could have been avoided if I had attacked with the other Army. My bad.

Russia is gone, that great 1CC stuck in the middle of Viking land.

Greece should be gone in three more turns. Next turn, build with a combat settler, begin the road work to the city. Two turns to make roads. Move a bunch of arty into the city, pound away for a turn (maybe two) and have the Cavalry attack the redlined defenders.

For now, the plan is to concentrate on Egypt instead of the Ottomans. Egypt will be easier to take out and destroy. The front line there is longer and mostly flat. The front line for the Otttomans is small (one tile right now) with hills and mountains in the way.

Heroic Epic is good. Did I miss it, or do you have a prebuild going
for Theory of Evolution, now that you have discovered Scientific Method?

No, I never got around to a prebuild.

Instead, I got a leader from the 2nd Battle of Tonawanda and switched Entremont from bank to Theory of Evolution and then used the MGL to rush ToE. But it doesn't complete until next turn.

Didnt expect the Ottomans to come knocking on your doorstep, did ya?

You've got that right! I was expecting to finish off Greece at my leisure and then build up the Arab military again. But nooooo, Otto and Egypt just had to demand my attention.

Well, they brought it upon themselves.

Cannot attack Elephantine this turn. Arab artillery is inside Egyptian lines and the terrian is hilly. Moved CavArmy05 and some support Cav into place for next turn.
Rushed some settlers in smaller cities.
​

I've debated about researching Industrialization strongly. The Arabs are the biggest force on the planet and the tech leaders. To get to Modern Armor is nine techs from now, counting Industrialization. Almost not worth it.
Except.
India, Ottomans, Korea and Iroquois are able to research Replaceable Parts and thus have access to Infantry. And I can't eliminate them all before one of them does learn it. Cavalry are no match for Infantry, even when redlined.
So, research at full speed for Modern Armor.

Nice work, CB. I have a lurker's question, though. How do you know when city improvements are destroyed?

lurker's comment: Universities and Colloseums both give culture. Culture buildings are automatically destroyed when you capture an AI's town. Also, if the AI captures the town back, they dont get the cultural buildings back. You do get to keep the other buildings, such as Harbors and Marketplaces (if built).

BTW, nice job CommandoBob!

lurker's comment: Nice work, CB. I have a lurker's question, though. How do you know when city improvements are destroyed?

I'm just noting the results of the bombardment, one rock/shell at a time. (I don't use auto-bombardment.) The game tells when an improvement is destroyed.

 

[CommandoBob]

Last turnset the Ottomans suprised me by declaring war.
This turnset the Koreans made the same mistake.

In both cases they captured a single city and in both cases it was soon returned to Arab hands.

Oddly, it has been Egypt, that was forced into warfare because of a mutal protection pact with the Ottomans, that has been the focus of Arab attention. And Egypt will soon die.

Egyptian Border 1550 AD

Pi-Ramesses, the second Egyptian capital, is guarded by an rMusket. We have 23 artillery to pound that rMusket (and any other defenders) into the red zone. I don't think the Spanish Pike will attack, much less win, against that unit. The wounded Cavalry will probably move to the new capital, but it will not heal on the IBT.

I don't know how many units are in Pi-Ramesses, but the Arabs have 2 vInf, 3 vCav and an Army that can attack next turn.

El-Amarna has a lone vMusket and will be soften up before it is attacked.


Ottoman Border 1550 AD

Things are a little simpler with the Ottomans. One combat settler is in place to make a city next turn. We'll move in a bunch of artillery, aim at Edrine and maybe capture it next turn. Or maybe not; depends on how much artillery is used to capture Pi-Ramesses. We'll need to destroy improvements in four tiles between Edrine and Istanbul to make the counterattack more difficult.

Ottoman Prizes 1550 AD

This is the real benefit from the Ottoman mistake. Arab sources of spice and incense, the only luxury items we do not have.

It will take at least three turns to connect these two sources.

Incense
The incense will have to wait until after Edrine becomes Arab and we have a combat base between Edrine and Istanbul. We'll rail to the combat base, perhaps even take out Istanbul, and then settle on the Incense.

Spice
Gaining the spice will be easier than the getting to the incense. India will agree to an ROP. So, after Pi-Ramesses is Arab, we'll talk to India, get the ROP and then start moving a settler and some protection. We will build a city on the jungle tile that has the only spice in Ottoman territory.
This means a 20 turn peace with India, but we can live with that.
If we don't ROP, and thus wait until we 'liberate' the area, that last spice may wind up under Indian control. Using the ROP we make sure that the spice is Arab.


World Map 1550 AD

The Pink Area is increasing, but all the white dots make it hard to see.

And the save is >>HERE<<.

 

[Ansar]

Dang, that's a lot of spices that Bombay has!

Looking at the world map, it seems that this was a pangaea with some civs in isolated islands?

 

[CommandoBob]

Looking at the world map, it seems that this was a pangaea with some civs in isolated islands?

Yeah, I set the map to huge and pangea. But, (IIRC) no island currently settled is just one tile. So I don't need marines. Transports will be nice.

Speaking of transports, I've seen Korean and Ottoman ironclads, not good news for transports. The US and Vikings have had galleons moving up and down the east coast line.

The next turns will focus on gobbling up Ottoman cities and luxuries.

After that, having all the luxuires possible, I'll have to determine how to deal with Korea. And the best solution may be to wait and take our everybody else as we march to Seoul. And as we march south we will be razing any non-Wonder cities.

Egypt will be dead next turn. And in six turns the seven remaining cities of the Ottoman Empire will be greatly reduced.

We hold a monopoly on these techs:

1. Scientific Method
2. Atomic Theory
3. Replacable Parts

We have no naval vessels built that can carry units across the water. No galleons or transports. We will need these to deal with America and the other island nations.

Break up some Arab worker groups to build roads in rough terrain. Usually keep worker groups in stacks of 3WT, but with Replacable Parts and faster speed, grassland and plains tiles now take 2WT (or 1.5WT) to make roads, so the 3WT stack is a bit of a waste. By splitting the workers into single stacks, I am being a bit lazy and not using the workers most effectivly. But with over 50 workers and 150 slaves, I can afford to be a little inefficeint.

Rush two combat settlers.

Ottomans want to talk. We are curious, so we listen.
Ottomans were willing to give 12 gpt and 478 of 478 gold for peace, and then my hand slipped.

Then plan on how to take out Carthage.

Drop the happy slider to 0% (we now own all eight luxuries.)
Up the smart slider to 90%, learn Refining in 3, not 4, +8 gpt.

[IBT 1575 AD]
See that America has captured the Viking capital of Trondheim. Amazing.

Carthage has six cities. All are on flatlands. Carthage has Nationalism but not Replaceable Parts, so the best defender will be Rifles, not Infantry.
Carthage is at war with Korea and the Celts, just like us.
Five of the six cities of Carthage are within Cavalry range on the first turn of the war; two could be attacked by artillery from the current Arab border.

Cycle through the cities, rush some Cavs.

Hit Enter.

Would like a stronger Spain, but then again, I don't want to fight a lot of Spanish units. So I take their gold and let them fight the Vikings with the units they have.
Make the deal and take Spanish gold.

We have 4 CavArmies in good health, two more not fully green, 17 vCav and 3 eCav, plus a bunch of Infantary, ready to attack Carthage.
Cycle through the cities, rush some vCav.
