CVH- Comeback of the Century (Axis of Evil)

[SimpleMonkey]

Why do we need the colossus?

Colossus is a great income generator, which will be a big boost to us, and it lasts until late Industrial. Not as cool as Leo's or the Pyramids, but it doesn't cost much in shields and it could be easy to get. We can always switch it to something else if we get beat out. Besides it just looks so cool there standing by the harbor.

Figure at Monarch we can stretch out and throw some shields at Wonders for a while. Then go kill stuff.

Agree that that's where Abe is likely to settle. If it were ours, I'd put it 1NE to have immediate access to the cow tile. Don't think he'll move that close, though. So we'll have an American village in our midst for quite some time, it appears. Interesting. I suppose that if we're playing loose 5CC we could always accept it and abandon it if it culture flips to us.

IBT - Chines warrior moves into our territory 1 tile away from Leipzig, with only an archer as defense.

Turn 1 - Continue mining, chop forest east of Berlin down, giving Berlin a production boost. I'm worried sick about the warrior, and I tell Mao to leave... He does not declare.

IBT - the warrior moves away. And Leipzig's culture expands too, same as Hamburg.

Turn 2 - Konigsburg Library > Barracks in 7 turns Begin mining east of Berlin. Worker by Frankfurt begins the horsie road.

IBT - Chinese warrior moves out of our territory. But that stupi American settler group moved to the plains, and will probably settle next turn.

Turn 3 - Frankfurt Sword > Sword Losing 1 gpt. I move the science slider down 1, to twenty percent. Now instead of losing 1 gpt we are gaining 5gpt!

IBT - Americans found San Fransisco south of Berlin.

Turn 4 -

IBT -

Turn 5 - Leipzig Sword > Colloseum

IBT -

Turn 6 - Frankfurt Sword > Colloseum Konigsburg expanded a while back, I am now moving the workers to grab both of the incense. Dinkyboat 1 finishes exploration around island of England. Too realistic.

IBT - Dam Americans settle 3 tile east of Konigsburg, pushing back OUR border making us loose acces to 1 incense!

Turn 7 - Nothin

IBT - Nothin

Turn 8 - Hamburg Library > Aqueduct Koningsburg Barracks > Coloseum

IBT - Nothin again

Turn 9 - Nothin

IBT - So many settler groups walking around Koningsburg that I thin they want to minimize its culure.

Turn 10 - Nothing

No pics, didnt take any.

That IS where abe settled.

Who's up, Classical Hero?

 

[SimpleMonkey]

Yep, Classical Hero's the man now.

Not sure about the colloseum ... colusese ... stadium builds. They could be a nice thing to have, but later in the game, not now. Suggest that we use them as prebuilds for markets. Hamburg needs a harbor more than an aquaduct, but we may not be able to trade ourselves into Map Making before the aquaduct finishes. We shall see.

Fun being in a game with so little pressure to build units!

EDIT: I'd switch Frankfurt to a prebuild for something Wonderful.

 

[conquer_dude]

A palace prebuild?

 

[SimpleMonkey]

We could set it as Palace, but there are a lot of unmade wonders still available that we could set it to. You never know.

 

[Ansar]

I recommend building the GL in Frankfurt just for the culture.



The Mausoleum of Mausollos would sound(in Frankfurt) great considering we wouldnt have to worry about happiness and culture problems for the rest of the game in Frankfurt.

 

[conquer_dude]

I was about to build that.

 

[SimpleMonkey]

I'd still go for something else first. If we hold on to Literature for a while, we can get a good headstart on the GLib. Not that we need it, but it at least keeps it out of anyone else's hands. And we can always use the culture.

I've never known anybody to deliberately set out to build the Mausoleum.

 

[azzaman333]

TBH, i have deliberately set out to build the Mausoleum...

 

[Ansar]

I get philosophy for free tech, never for Mausolleum, but Mausolleum is a nice easy-to-get and easy-to-build wonder.Only 200(?) shields for a wonder that makes 3 unhappy citizens content.

 

[classical_hero]

Preturn. I increase the Science rate and we can get Currency in 5 turns.

I have a question. If cities flip to you are you allowed to captue them and then raze that city so your culture improves?

IBT. Not much. The enemy is moving to make more cities.

Turn 1. I change Liepzig to a temple and get myself an entertain otherwise the city would have revolted.

IBT. More troops are in our territory.

Turn 2. I ask them to leave. I trade with China and this is what I get.


This means that we only need to get Horseback Riding and we are out of this era.

IBT. Nothing.

Turn 3. We have built the Colussus.


IBT. zzz

Turn 4. We research Currency and now we are getting Horseback Riding in 4 turns. I also lost a curragh as it was in the ocean.

IBT. The French build the Oracle in Paris and the American build Huston to ou north.

Turn 5. Not much of note really.

IBT. More settlers are going to our north. Kyoto Builds SoZ.

Turn 6. We build Library in Berlin e start marketplace. Frankfurt builds a Colloseum and starts a Marketplace.

IBT. Nothing.

Turn 7. Nothing.

IBT. The English demand Philosphy and we rebuff them and this is there response.


It looks like that we will be fighting spears and Archers since they are do not have horses or Iron when I last looked. I'm really scared, not.

Turn Eight. We get Horseback riding and we are now in a new era.


IBT. No sign of the English just yet.

Turn Nine. Not much

IBT. Not much either.

Turn 10. Not much.

The fact that we lead the tech race is good so that means that we can be good with this. I doubt that the English will be any threat so w must just make sure that they do not capture any of our cities.

THE SAVE IS HERE. LOOK RIGHT HERE FOR THE SAVE.

 

[azzaman333]

Where is the save?

Good turnset classical

Got it, will play tomorrow definately, since its a public holiday! And Collingwood will win, im sure of it. (classical should know what im talking about)

 

[classical_hero]

It could happen. I see you cannot see.

I did think about waiting but I said it would be better to play now.

 

[conquer_dude]

Good turns. We need to make some galleys so we can own.

 

[Ansar]

classical_hero, what was our free tech , we are scientific after all...

 

[The 777 Hoax]

Pwn the english! Nice job so far

 

[conquer_dude]

classical_hero, what was our free tech , we are scientific after all...

I useually get monothism. I dunno though, for this.
