DBear01--Put Away Your Swords

[soul_warrior]

now that you've mentioned it, you need to detail it so we don't have to deploy igor to search. What variant?

well, it was from the Hirachi game, but i think it could work here aswell.
variant goes like this:
we take a vow of poverty and humility, making the people flock to us not only through our super cultured ways but our humility and good nature.

how to do this?
we give away ALL of our techs. to everyone.
we also give away all of our money. we can keep a max of 100g (living stipende).
when we get a new tech we must trade it away that turn.
we can use the gains to rush stuff (not so humble, but when did you hear of a really humble religion-sect-whatchamacallit) but remember - no more than 100 left in the purse at the end of turn.

the humility part can be worked as turning the other cheek (always caving to demands) and not building and more cash related things.
we might even go so far and sell all our banks and markets (but again, never saw a poor church, so i guess we wont sell those we already have)

Hey gang; I'm having some medical troubles again. I'm going in for an MRI of my brain and spine this week as well as an EMG (I hope you never have to have this done because it can hurt like hell) of my left arm and leg. This forum, the friends and opportunity to escape now and again have been very therapeutic.

Have fun and be excellent to each other.

If the turn-log was too brief, please advise and I'll provide details. It was a lot of worker crap.

well, i hope marriage wasnt\wont the short short version of "do you? do you? i do! i do!, fine, youre now man and wife"
otherwise i trust it (and you) that there was nothing really important for us to know?

[edit] got it
[edit 2] DBear - you've got it, not me

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

trust me, it was a whole lotta movin' the workers, except as previously mentioned. I have a plan, but I don't want to be overbearing. We should do small little wars to grab additional lux. I did a lot of MM with cops and CE, but didn't feel that was worthy of comment. Our military is minimal, but the railnet is up and any AI who wants to try is welcome; yo Ragnor can you hear me? Marraige was you, yeah. You? yeah. Ok, you're now legal.

1475: I didn't know why the galleons were loaded up. There is vacant land on the Scandinavian isle s of us, so I'm headed there.

1480: Doha lib-->aqua. take some surplus pop and make engineers. Samarra court-->settler. there is jungle land yet unclaimed. Adab market-->cathedral. Mosul market-->cathedral. Balad harbor-->market. I tell Hannibal to give me Cirta, he does!

1485: Ellipi factory-->cathedral. Sippar aqua-->factory. Zamua uni-->cathedral. Hindana cathedral-->bank.

1490: Akkad court-->factory. Samarra settler-->infantry. Shuruppak worker-->grain. Aden lib-->market. Shiraz lib-->aqua. Riyadh temple-->lib.

1495: Ashur colisseum-->infantry. Sulaymaniah lib-->market. Fallujah market-->uni. Nasiriyah court-->market. Umm Qasr harbor-->market. Hillah harbor-->lib. Cairo built, starts temple.

1500: Tudmur starts aqua. Larsa factory-->uni. Lugdunum court-->aqua. Fustat lib-->market. Arbil rushes a court.

1505: Learn sci meth. Start corp as a placeholder. Medina court-->market. Ellipi cathedral-->uni. Basra court-->grain. Kirkuk market-->cathedral. Arbil court-->market. Uruk switches to Darwin, will get in 8. We can get corp in 4. I do some MM by turning one of the irrigated plains near Uruk into a mine. Uruk can't grow anymore, anyway and this increases output, cutting Darwin to 7. Build Port Said on Viking Island, try to flip them.

1510: Shuruppak grain-->arty. Telloh bank-->cath. Tangier lib-->market. Tobruk lib-->market. Our deal w/Carthage runs out. Trade saltpeter and fur to Rome for 58 + 33/turn. Sell horses to Scandinavia for 32 + 10/turn. Trade Carthage horses, furs, iron and medicine for gems and spices. They have no money. Ottomans do and we sell them medicine for 50 + 100/turn.

1515: Bismarck wants to trade Fascism for Espionage + 630 gold. Otto's been drinkin' again. Babylon finishes CIA, starts army. Ashur infantry-->arty. Eridu builds KGB, starts factory. Samarra infantry-->coliseum. Baqubah market-->bank. Zamua cathedral-->factory. Tell Wilaya bank-->factory. karana uni-->bank. Adab cath-->uni. Mosul cath-->uni. Karbala lib-->market. Mandali court-->aqua. Tombouctou lib-->market. Rabat lib-->market.

1520: Nippur market-->grain. Sana temple-->market. Khorsabad uni-->cathedral. Mansura court-->market. Nina court-->market. Hispalis court-->market. Lutetia harbor-->market. Amman court-->uni. Our palace expands to I believe is as far as it can go.

1525: Kuwait market-->bank. Eulbar factory-->exchange.

I deliberately MM Uruk so that we can pick up Sanitation in 4, and Darwin in 5. After Sanitation completes, go for the Daily Double so we can get Hoover.We have 36583 culture, producing 623/turn. Our nearest rival has only a third of that. At that rate, we'll finish in 102 turns, or 1864. Just keep building unis and cathedrals, along with banks and exchanges to fuel them. When we pick up Darwin and go for the Daily Double, switch Babylon to Hoover. As soon as Port Said increases pop, whip for a temple.

Admiral, in keeping with the spirit of "Put Away Your Swords", we cannot start any wars. We can threaten and get stuff. If we can goad others into declaring war on us, then by all means finish 'em. I don't think war is necessary, though.

 

[soul_warrior]

well, now i get

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

I don't think war is necessary, though

Thanks for the reminder. I won't intentionally start anything. I just get nervous if we don't have 7 or 8 lux to call our own. And if someone does start something, it's always nice to have a fleet waiting to land...

I tell Hannibal to give me Cirta, he does!

The RNG loves you. Maybe it was getting ready to culture flip anyway?

DBear01 sw 1525ad-1575ad

preturn - well this is standard...
startede a detailed log (couldnt do any less than DBear, now could i?)
but nothing much happening, so i decide to ditch the log.

building lots of Libraries, Universities, some temples and more Cathedrals. some markets finish and a few banks roll in.
workers are busy railing, irrigating and chopping jungles in the west and south.

in 1535 i see an Ottonman Longbow walking about. just thought id fill up the log abit.
in 1540 Sanitation comes in, go straight for Atomics and Electro.
in 1545 the walking monkeys are in, we get atomics and electro. start on STEEL.
up sci to 70 so we shave a turn off, not losing cash.
change Babylons Army to HOOVERS due in 8.

1550 Scandinavia and Rome sign a MPP. BAD for us warmongers.
1560 sees some luck at last, i hope. Murisilis dares Demand Sanitation. i tell him to go away and stop bothering me. he complies.

had something very weird happen just now. mid set my keyboard died on me.
kept on the game with just the mouse. saved. then found out the keyboard was unplugged by the subwhooper.
ok - no more loud music while civving.

rifining is due in 5. hoovers in 3. started a few hospitals, but feel free to add some more if you want to.
nothing to trade (cash is nonexsistant, tech? )
nothing really changed in the map, but we have a bunch of WLTKDs.

i think i only built 5 units, so i guess the rest are culture stuff.

enjoy te rest of it.

 

[soul_warrior]
