CRA02 AW Japan Monarch

[vmxa]

I forgot to go around and check on the specialist. Likely the scientist could be flip to tax, till we get the breakthrough. Maybe one or more could go back to work, if that is a better option. Now that we have a third lux.

You may want to evaluate the Pentagon city and see if it is strong enough to switch to a palace for the KT. If so, then you could just rush the Pentagon. The tricky part is will the AI learn Chiv, before Sun Tzu is completed.

If it will not, then we have little to fear on a cascade. Sistine is the same in terms of a cascade. They will be researching one or the other or we face no threat.

I built no horses as to me they are not of value in AW. I may advocate 1 or 2 to try to kill retreated two move AA units, but that is all. That is because you will not be able to afford to upgrade more than a few, if any.

Now that it seems the AI cannot mount a counter of any kind, horse could make a cheap MP as we cannot make spears or warriors for that purpose.

Did this one die? No response to my post on 27th for more than 10 days.
Bowsling last played on 4/22, last post 7/10.
CivRulesAll last played 6/20, last post 7/27.
TheOverseer714 last played 6/21, last post 7/8. I suspect he has forgotten he was in this one.
tupaclives last played 7/9 and it was the last post.

What I propose is I will play another set now, 15 turns to get on even numbers and divisable by 10 (5 is too few for me). If CRA or others decide that is not cool, then ignore the set and save when posted. I will put it in spoiler tags. I won't post, if I get anyone objecting prior to the set being completed.

I know CRA is having PC issues and may still want to continue the game. The others are posting, just not in this thread. I don't want to step on any toes, but if it is dead I may as well play.

Finished the 15 turns, will post after watching the LoL Summer Showdown on NELS.

eArcher kills one as well (2-0).

430AD (T158-3)
Rushed Pentagon with the leader.
Found Omi.
eSword kills Russian archer (1-0).
1st well enough to kill a French archer (2-0).
2nd gets very low killing a pike in Berlin. This is why we need Pentagon to add that fourth unit to some of these weak armies. (3-0).
Took 4 cats, but redined a Russian spear by Echizen.
eHorse kills it (4-0) [10-0].

IBT:
German MDI attacks the 4HP 2nd and dies (1-0) [11-0].

440AD (T159-4)
Tokyo starts a palace for the KT.
I see a lone barb headed towards Nagasaki, but a French unit will probably deal with it.
Seven of the 11 slaves reached home.
Make one more scientist and drop to 7 turns now.

3rd gains its fourth unit and kills a Russian archer (1-0).
eArcher kills Russian archer (2-0).
eSword kills one (3-0).
3rd kills one (4-0). [15-0]

Seven archers closing in on Nagasaki, 1st is moving that way.

Ok I have now noticed for the second time a Russian unit out of Tver and it was gone and German was in its place. I had my eye on this settler/spear and now an MDI is there. Also I forgot to mention someone asked for peace last turn.

Still 9 Frenchmen at or near Naga. [21-0]

eHorse kills German MDI at Omi (1-0).
2nd arrives to take one down and will pick up its fourth unit next turn. Still two MDI on site (2-0).
3rd sits next to Moscow. [23-0]

No temple in capitol, so I need to bump the lux slider to keep all pop working on Sun Tzu. I try to get a temple in the cap or any wonder town till I get enough lux to not need one. This lets me use all 12 people. Other places can have a specialist or two.

I meant to keep this town, but probably better that I did not as we do not have forces to sit on it. I see Yakutsk is now the capitol of Cathy's domain. [30-0]

500AD (T165-10)
Horse kills Fr archer at Naga (1-0).
1st kills Fr warrior (2-0).
AC kills 2/3 Fr archer and goes elite (3-0). Clears land of French for now.

Send 3/5 horse to try to upgrade to stick in 1st. This army is 3x swords, so it will not be worth anything on offense other than spears and 1 defense units. If we can get a Sami in it, that would make it able to attack pikes and knights and it will likely be safe from attacks in the field. The problem is to get the gold. I will probably do a turn with no research to raise it. Cannot drop research.

Elite horse kills MDI at Omi (2-0).
3rd kills spear in Vladivostok and razed it, no gold or slaves (3-0).

540AD (T169-14)

AC kills MDI at Omi (2-0). I see Bonn was created.
1st tries out the Sami on a spear on a hill with no sweat (3-0).
Use a sword from one town and an MDI from Izumi to kill the two units dropped off, neither lost a hp (5-0).
Research back on. Could drop it 5 turns, but would go into red and we do not have the gold. Need more towns.

Several places need to be on settlers, but are on wealth as we were/are broke.

Barb arrives at Orenburg.

550AD (T170-15)
Kill the barb, not counting barbs.
2nd kills pike in Bonn (1-0).

3rd waiting for orders. Sitting on some slaves and a cat. Can send army out or wait for road to finish and send slaves home. A settler is also ready to move. I did not think about where to send it, left that for the next set.

15 slaves doing a mountain on the way to whereever they can be used.
4th only 2 sami for now, was going to remove the German MDI that is been parked for some time.
[49-0]

I got a few markets up for the happy as well as the gold.
Shimonoseki probably should sell the rax now as 4 shields makes it a settler, not a units town. As it is safe now from attack. Probably sell the wall as well.

Suo got one jungle tile cleared and another being worked for now. If it grows, before cleared move the pop to the coastal tile to prevent desease.

Sapporo moved the hill worker to tax for the extra gold for now. Switched to science as we only need that and 2 more beakers to save a turn. Growth will give us that much. May want to keep an eye on the count to switch to tax later.

Izumi may be able to switch rax to settler, once the army trims the French in that area.

We need to get workers to Tokyo to mine for the KT.

Nagoya going to be working jungle soon, watch for growth to move from jungle to coast.

I sold the temple in Nagasaki.

Ok, I got it to 13 turns, though the game does not reflect that, CA does.

 

[Bowsling]

Mmm, impressive. I haven't really been following this much for two reasons: I haven't had much time for SGs, and the lack of interest from teammates has pushed the game to the back burner.

 

[vmxa]

I hear that. The biggest issue with SG's is it can be like herding cats.

 

[CivRulesAll]

I'm sorry I was away for so long, I'm gonna need a skip, because my computer was actually broken even more than the minor problem they were supposed to fix.... They broke it. Can you believe that? Now at least they are fixing it for free, and I will be able to do my turn immediately the next roster. I really am sorry to keep you all waiting but you know how real life interferes with civ time.

 

[vmxa]

PC's are pretty simple, if they messed them up, I would worry that they are clueless. Anyway sorry you have the pc blues. I always keep my last one around for a fall back. It does not look like you are holding anyone up though.

 

[vmxa]

I stumble across a this today and since it has been two months, nearly three I feel I can go ahead and say I played this out to the win back in mid august. I did not post sooner, in case anyone was to pick the game back up.

 

[Elephantium]

Would you post some screenshots, vmxa?

 

[vmxa]

Let me see what I have. I know I keep all the logs. I will go ahead and post them and some pics.

Spoiler :

Pre or finish 550AD:
Elect to park 3rd on slaves for a turn. Roads from Russian land could let them get the slaves. A 2 move army will get one move back from the road next turn, so not losing a lot of ground.

Move the settler 777 from Tokyo and a pike covers.

Note: I am unsure about the 4th (2 sami units) and future armies. I tend to think they can get 4 units and that they will not go overseas prior to transports. I do not know how much land there is to fill, but it looks like enough to take till at least then. I would not fill any cav armies beyond 3 units in case we do need to start an invasion before transports. The difference is that a 3 unit cav army can kill troops easier than a 3 unit sami army.

Four boats are around Izumo. I think the Porugal ships have already landed units, at least two of them. The German one has not, but may not have any units either. Three German MDI are around Sado still, but spread out.

I up research to 50 and flipped 1 pop to sci and we should get Invention in 2 turns, with 4 beakers to spare. The game does not reflect this count.

The settler will be the 30th town, so we have room for more armies. I had no luck on leaders with many elite wins, so should be coming soon. 8 settlers building as there is a lot of land to fill. Still making pikes as long as we can to MP and defend the new towns.

We go -gpt with Invention due next turn with 2 beakers to spare.

670AD (T182-2)
Switch Sistine to Leo and start on Gun. Drop research to 40. No real need to run a defict. I am not running zero research as the AI is so slow, we would probably fall behind the rest of the nations that we have not met.

If they are on another large landmass, they are probably going to have one strong civ. If it is Scientific they could be on second tier techs. especially if they have other scientific nations. Anyway I would say no need risking it. If they are backward all we lost is some upgrades and we would not need them in that case.
