CTIV-3: Tokugawa by Sea

Jeff1787 said:
I like the strength of 8 and the two first strikes. I wonder if we also get the one extra promotion to Combat I because Tokugawa has the aggressive trait?? I'm sure we must.

I think we do. iirc, the only Aggressive Civ that doesn't get the UU bonus is Mongolia (since the Keshik is mounted).
 
A quiet set of turns. No pictures!

Turn 0 830AD
Move our galley near Peter close to his settler galley, end up forgeting about it and heal instead. I also up our research to 80% and decide to lose 2 GPT while getting machinery a turn earlier.

Turn 1 840AD
Rostov completes its very own library, goes to work on its very own lighthouse. Kagoshima on the other hand just finishes its lighthouse and could use a granary.

Turn 3 860AD
Labourers upon completion of a Harbour in Edo, begin to plan their holidays only to be told a Colloseum is needed to make them happy. Surprisingly this does not make them happy!

Turn 4 870AD
Sword -> Colloseum in Kyoto

We really need the colloseums, since it seems we'll be going without religion to pacify our citizens, even if we made a beeline for Islam, I doubt we'd snag it.

Turn 6 890AD
Finish researching Machinery and head over to Code of Laws (pity someone has Confucianism). It will be finished the first turn of the next players tyranny.
This also means we enter the Medieval Era, a golden age of Chivalry, Monarchy and various pointy hats. :rolleyes:

Osaka plays its role as a support city after completing its own harbour, by starting construction of a work boat for Rostov.

Turn 7 900AD
Chop chop chop chop chop chop.....CREEEEAK.......thud. A falling tree aids production in Kyoto.

Turn 9 920AD
With the work boat completed, Osaka joins the Colloseum building fad.

yada yada.

During this turnset I sent a galley on a wild goose chase because I thought I had found a route west, but it seems Civ likes to trick me into thinking I can sail on Ice :mad: Also quite a few great people were born during these turns, only one of note was *insert name here* in Moscow.
 
I'm thinking we need Optics next to get a Caravel going to circumnavigate the world. Then we can still get CoL and Civil Service and start pumping out Samurai.....but I guess the order isn't that critical.
 
Caravel is important. We need that circumnavigate bonus considering the variant. Go for optics, we can conquer Peter later.

Pre-turn
Micromanage Kyoto to shave 1 turn off of Hanging Gardens. As a matter of succession game etiquette, long go-to's are not recommended.

Wow. Major :smoke: moment. I neglected to press Save at the end of the turn. Luckily, I follow RB protocol and have auto-save set to 1. The elusive save...
 
Jeff1787, are you able to swap with me? I don't think I'll be able to take it tonight, and I didn't get to it yesterday.

If not, I'll play tomorrow night. Sorry about the delay.
 
I wouldn't be able to play until tomorrow night myself...
 
I'm not going to be able to play tonight either, sorry guys. Jeff1787, are you still able to go?
