Chinese SG, world map CSP, OPEN GAME

[donsig]

Peace is pretty boring!

The barbs are about to overwhelm Melbourne. I suggest whoever plays next spends our treasury down to prevent it from falling into the barbarians hands.

Another settler is on the way to Australia or the Indies. Another is set to board ship near Korea. Should consider sending that one to South America. Probably should upgrade the ship first!

Ok, I played 20 turns. Not much happen. Here is the very brief summary.

1250AD - Pre-turn. Our Rider survived the attack! Woohoo!!

1295AD - Brudisium join the glorious chinese empire and we get a rifleman.

1300AD - Perth founded.

Nothing much happen in the 20 turns, we are now in the industrial age and just discovered railroad. We have one hell of a load of iron and only 1 source of coal! Once medicine is discovered we should quickly build up the population of the core city with hospital and then factory. Thats the only way to win this game if we ever win it.

 

[LKendter]

ok,

I will play a handfull of turns.

Not a bad job, Lee. The settler enroute to South America was a suggestion by donsig.

Its good to see we are getting there. I will hold on for a day and see if anyone play. If not I will give it another go.

 

[donsig]

Yeah, South America! I thought it might be unsettled and a prime place to secure some rubber...

I will play now!

 

[donsig]

1455-1460 AD: Rail building and barb bashing.

1495: We learn espionage from Bismark and teach him all about the scientific method.

[donsig]

Our military is weak but we can make infantry now.

[LKendter]

7 turns and two leaders
Unreal, I have had GAMES without two leaders...

Despite EC1, B1, B2, Thrawn, LK15, LK16, Ger (world map), nothing came due

The only thing I could do today, close out LK14 anyone plays, and start LK17 anyone plays

Oh well, I have got it.

 

[donsig]

I wanted to play more turns but my computer kept freezing up.

Those leaders are the only ones we've had in this game so far. But we can build the military academy and heroic epic now.

 

[LKendter]

I can understand computer problems

The machine I can play on right now is dragging between turns despite 384 mg memory and a P500.

The P833 machine I have handles this game fine so far.

 

[donsig]

The P833 machine I have handles this game fine so far.

Good, I was hoping it was just my old computer being overworked and not a problem with the game itself. This China is doing well and about to annex a good deal of Russia. I'd hate to see the game end now!

 

[LKendter]

I should have something posted by tonight.

 

[LKendter]

Preturn -
Heroic epic is available, switch Shanghai to it - eta 4 turns.
I can't imagine what a few more leaders could do, however, I think Donsig used them up
Military academy is ordered in Chengdu - eta 8 turns.
The Zulu are building the Dam.

1600 AD - Begin bombing Riga.
Production emphasis to factories.
Trading make some bucks selling wm.
Save 1 turn on steel plus money with wines, get combustion & $25 for saltpeter / silks.
Russia is building the Dam.

1605 AD - In a pitiful display, our 2 elite calvary can't kill a knight. I think I know what my chance of a leader is... I then lose another calvary trying to kill a knight in the open.
Again bombing Riga - better luck, kill some people, the barracks.
Rush library in Tyre to culture squeeze Munich more.
Upgrade all units in Australia, we know have 4 vet infantry.
France declares war on us as part of an alliance with Russia. Hmm..., what does grenoble defended with?
Worker stolen near the border. Time to pull the borders back.
Indian refuses to accept the flip of Hong Kong.

1610 AD - New Chengdu is formed. We get another spice to trade.
New bombing target - Grenoble. Easier path to Sverdlovsk, and I hope to close the path that Russia keeps coming through. Plus it is closer to the FP. Barracks destroyed, some people killed.
Heroic Epic is completed.
Germany declares war on France.

1615 AD - I am really getting disgusted with Calvary that can't kill knights. Scratch another elite. 4 hp calvary can't kill 1 hp knight.
Our calvary army kills a infantry by Pharsalos, but it will be awhile for it to heal.
Lost another worker to France.

1620 AD - Turning Grenoble into a pile of rubble - One of these days...
The war gods are kind, we kill a pile of Russian units - our cost, 1 infantry can't kill a bowman.
The big question, what will that French stack of calvary / knights do?
The French at sending the stack of crap our way, yet we don't even have the units to attack it.
OK - The French need a diversion, so alliance with Greece for Coal and Steel.
We plant a spy in France - The French have 4 calvary, 4 knight. The stack we can see is just about it for reall attack units. As for Russia, a ton of infantry, but no knights.
The French stack by Macao begins to retreat. 3 French calvary are dead - impaling themselves on
Brundisum.
But a Russian hell knight takes, and razes it

Talk about playing both sides - Greece signs an alliance WITH Russia vs. Germany

1625 AD - A boring turn.

Summary - We are hurting for military. BIG TIME.
We need them tanks.
We need the fur by Macao reconnected!


I wanted to do more, but Thrawn, B2, LK16 all due!

:tank:

 

[donsig]

I think China has the power to beef up it's military. We don't need alot from this war - only some cities around Kras - they'll be productive since the Forbiden Palace is there. We already snagged the 3 oil near Pharsalos. Sverdlovsk has both iron and coal so we could build the iron works there.

Glad we got to keep Hong Kong. We may have an 'Indian problem' some day though...
