Clive2 - Random Monarch

0) 750: Load ACs and leet swords on ships. Switch Vilcas to settler, want to get west side of Donut Island. Move worker in Cuzco from lake to unimproved plain to speed up Leonardo. That plain should be mined. Donut Island City switched from walls to spear. D.I.C. needs another unit to avoid flipping.

1) 760: MP cathedral->trebuchet. Worker switched from wheat to plain as MP can't grow anymore. Pelargir starts mace, worker takes wheat square.

2) 770: Our ivory deal w/Spain expired. I get Spain to agree to 17/turn for ivory. Tiwanaku mace->treb. Zimbabwe becomes a worker factory. Workers mine 2nw of Pelargir. Workers move to road saltpeter.

3) 780: Minimize science, as chiv comes in next turn. I still don't know where America's horses are.

4) 790: Chiv comes in, start chem. I think we should head down the MT path. Eglarest aqua->rax. D.I.C. spear->harbor.

5) 800: Vilcas settler->harbor. Workers start roading saltpeter. Constantinople can't grow anymore and is corrupt anyway, so three workers shifted to taxmen.

6) 810: Ironland starts grainary. Tiwanaku starts treb. MP switched to Templar.

7) 820: Palma expands. Our cav camped on iron told to scram.

8) 830: Huanuco Pampa built, and just in time as Mayans land on Donut Isle. Saltpeter roaded, use slave to build colony.

9) 840: Vitcos builds FP, starts musket. Archer upgraded to longbow and pike upgraded to musket. On second thought, probably shoulda waited for Leonardo. My bad.

10) 850: Pelargir switched to lib as placeholder. Vilcabamba harbor->rax. Atico rax->harbor. Our score is just below Spain. Mayans have most land, our population is behind Spain, but Spain is just going nuts with culture. Mayans don't take the hint, so we tell them to scram or declare war. They retreat. I decide to go with the Donut Island theme and rename Huanuco Pampa to Krispy Kreme. :crazyeye: We have six galleys full of troops camped off the east coast ready to deploy. We have additional troops on Donut Isle. I still don't know where America's horses are.

It's Later, I looked.

Recon: No deals except Spain. World at peace. Declare on all :joke:. We're literal cultural idiots. @ dbear - nice set up :goodjob: peeps are happy. Everyone's building KT, hope we win, but I'm not gonna spend money to find out. We need ponies! Wake jungle chopper near Zim. Send him to NE to clear marsh for new city. Change Ironland to MI. Change Nasca to settler. Change Victos to rax. Reset prefs to 'idiots'. Change Zim. to market.

IT: Elgarest rax > market

860: Trade Abu guns, ivory, iron for silks, Theology, horses. Change every city that has a rax to knight. Declare on Abe. Needs to improve his looks. Tell him to talk to Abu about surgeons. Take Memphis. Whyfor we clearing jungle outside our borders? WTH? Landings at Sword, Gold, Juno beach near Seattle.

IT Riot at Twinkie. Muy cupable. Very sorry. Nasca settler > rax.

870: Take Dallas. We own Donut World.

More follows tomorrow.
 
more -

870 continued: Take Seattle. Change Hlobane to settler

IT: Finish Leo's. Cuzco > musket

880: Raze NY. Change Victos to worker.

890: Vil. changed to market

900: raise lux to 10%

IT: 'Bella demands 26g. No. She slinks away. Spain plants Merida in revenge.

910: Drop sci to 10%

IT: Learn Chemistry. Madrid finishtes Sistine.

920: Sell Chem to Bella for Education, 22gpt, 105g. Change Nasca to settler.

IT: Barcelona finishes KT

930: Change Macchu to palace

950: trebs go 4 for 7 at Washington. Looks like the garrison is 2 spears. 2 swords take Washington. I am honored to report we now control the Hanging Gardens. Raze Chicago.

Continue taking the battle to Abe. I think he bought his horses like we did based on the sparse counterattacks to date. I've only seen 3 knights. Recommend we raze and replace. We need to work on getting another trade path to Abu for horses. I failed to consider our path was thru American territory and would be lost when I declared. :smoke: Washington is being tax starved to size one. Strongly recommend we finish improving inside our borders before the workers start on jungle outside the borders. Need markets and courts in some of the homeland.

Just checked out the save - it's looking good.

Is the plan to finish off the Americans completely ? It looks as if
the stack north of Washington should be enough to do the trick !

I notice that sci is now down to 0 but we seem to be well up wth the rest -

we're up Chemistry on Maya, America and Arabia, up Monotheism and Engineering on Japan and down Priniting Press and Astronomy on Spain.

Can't quite work out who should be next after the Americans - It looks like the Mayans would be an easier target than the Japanese ?

Anyone any idea on a victory type ? Looks likely it is going to be domination / conquest to me.

BTW - Constantinople has 3 happy citizens and 3 taxmen. If we switch 1 taxman to work a mined tile aqueduct comes down from 31 turns to 16 turns.
Memphis can also switch 1 specialist to a worker and remain happy and grow a bit quicker.

As far as I remember we haven't had our GA yet ? Is that correct ?
 
I notice that sci is now down to 0 but we seem to be well up wth the rest -

@ SirClive - this is something I intentionally try to do in SG's if not in AW mode. Max cash and give the next player options for trading or war (i.e. minimize entangling alliance and max out cash)

IMIO (in my idiot opinion), I don't think we have enough strength to wipe out Abe. However, we do have enough to go north or south and grab the appropriate peninsula. I'd vote for north to reestablish the trade path to horses.
 
Preturn- Move a few units. Science to 80%, -5 gpt, Metallurgy in 9. I'm an idiot and I forgot what the palace prebuild was for, but I'm guessing either Coperincus or Military Academy. Spain has Astronomy but they won't give it to us unless we pay insane amounts of money. Start some Libraries/Universities.
1
Capture Philadelphia and a lot of workers. Huaras founded. Science to 90%.
3
Science to 80%. Capture Atlanta.
6
Baltimore is ours.
7
Science to 70%. Capture New Orleans. Buy Astronomy from Smoke Jaguar for Chemistry.
8
Capture Miami.
IBT- Metallurgy==>Military Tradition, science to 80%, due in 9. SoZ obselete.
10
Detriot and Buffalo are captured.

At least get Cincinnati, then I think we might even be able to get part of the southern peninsula.
 
Good stuff Viper :thumbsup:

I'm still on the roster? Well, whaddya know... Got it... for real this time.
 
Sir Clive said:
1) 36 hrs gotit. If you are up you MUST post a 'gotit' within 36 hrs of the last person posting the save game link . Otherwise you will be skipped.
Hope that clears things up :)

Edit: Sir Clive got it right, I think I did my math wrong.
 
YanksGiants87 said:
whyd i get skipped? i thought i had 72 hours to play?

Sorry Yanks Giant.

I screwed up a bit . I though I had imposed a 24 hr gotit when in fact it was a 36 hr gotit.

This means you should have had until 07-42 pm Feb 02 and I bumped you at 04-52 pm Feb 02 so I was about 3hrs too early.

My humblest apologies :cry: :cry:

If you are happy to swap places in the roster with Noldodan then that is no problem AFAIAC - the roster would then be
