DBear01--Put Away Your Swords

[nerovats]

'm willing to lend a hand. Just 2 and a half more days at work and I'll have two weeks off. So plenty of time to play. Will read trough your progress today and take a look at some saves tonight. Just put me in the roster somewhere.

 

[Kriz]

Guys, I said that I would be away for some time. I can play tomorrow.

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

I'll let Kriz take it and then go after him (probably on Sunday). If nerovats can get in a set before sunday night, I have no objection. OT - I just had a 5000+ score and diplo loss on an emperor epic. WTH am I doing wrong?

[soul_warrior]

Rush Wall Street in Eridu with the leader.

so we really got it now?
good!!
just seems weird right now.

 

[Kriz]

OT - I just had a 5000+ score and diplo loss on an emperor epic.

We may be facing the same problem here. We're only half way to 100K and we're racing through the IA. So the UN will definitely be built in this game, and all AI hate our guts. Any ideas? Bribe them to graciousness? Forge military alliances?

@nerovats: Welcome to DBear01!

Roster:

DBear
Soul Warrior
Kriz--just played
nerovats--up, if you can post a turnset before sunday night. Otherwise please go after the Admiral.
Admiral Kutzov

jb1964--hopefully getting better.

well, how about this idea?
build the frigging UN, so we wont lose!!!!

 

[DBear]

So we're at nearly 50K culture, around 750 a turn. Looks good, how are the others doing? Anyone within half?

 

[Kriz]

Well I don't know squat about diplo wins. So if you build the UN you never lose the vote, even if the others all are annoyed or furious with you?

So we're at nearly 50K culture, around 750 a turn. Looks good, how are the others doing? Anyone within half?

Nobody is within half, Abu was the closest and he's gone. Our closest competitor is Germany with some 18K (don't remember exactly).

 

[nerovats]

I should be able to play tomorrow, or at the latest sunday morning.
@Kriz, if you build the UN you get to decide wether there should be a vote or not. Every 2o turns or so you will be asked if want a vote or not...NOT.

Culture now at 58435 can't find total culture per turn now, but we increased by 8524 in 10 turns.
I've started building an army in the cities that have all trhe cutlure they can get.
Made one mistake by putting an infantry in an army (sorry about that). There still is a fortified army in babylon.
Redirected troops to the south west, so we could invade the purple.
If we want to we need to do so we need to hurry, since there's just under 50 turns to play I think.
I also put some troops in the coastal cities. Call me a whimp, but the AI should get marines soon if they don't have them allready.

does the army have other units in it? I often build inf armies to escort the ballistic projectile throwers

AI should get marines soon if they don't have them allready.

AI not that smart

 

[nerovats]

Next player can always take the units out again. plenty of railroads. I didn't put any other units in the army. Something else to take into account the pentagon should be finished in 4 turn if I remember correctly. I was indeed thinking of an escorting inf army for the arties, but now we've got tanks I prefer to use those but as said I thought of that a turn late. No real harm done though. There are about a dozen arties in the southwest, transports, cruisers/battleships on their way. Tanks should be poring in shortly also.

 

[DBear]

Got it. Infantry army sounds good.

 

[DBear]

Well, if you were expecting a boring micromanagement game to 100K, fuhgeddaboudit! Hittites kept cruising our shores, so I told 'em to scram, they wanted to rumble. Even landed some pitiful troops, which a tank army didn't break a sweat crushing. Signed a military alliance w/Germany, with the result that eventually we are at war with everyone but Germany and Rome. Our army at Port Said finally had something to do, and took over the whole island to the south of us. Entered the modern age, got Rockets as a freebie, learned Fission and got a science leader that let us rush the UN. No votes. We are at 70K culture, making 1K/turn. So this should be done in 30 turns. We have also landed on the other continent and took Oea for gems, and another city.

 

[soul_warrior]

goody DBear.
got it and will play tonight (unless AK wants it?)

 

[soul_warrior]

DBear01 SW 1725ad-
on the first IBT lose 2 fully loaded transports. otherwise i give 'em a world of pain.
the gerries steal one of our hard earned viking town.
in 1750 Carthage and germany sign peace, along with the advent of PC's. Civ1 is invented, and the face of history is changed forever.
we start on mini skirts. we like 'em small and limber
Babylon starts Seti. prob' ly shoulda switched army... anyway...in 15.

1752 sees this fearsome sight. please notice to your left the soon to be extinct Longbowmen, while on the right you can spot the very rare Templar knight.
if you'll open the save, it looks even funnier.

1754 sees the building called "the winery" built. it is a place of joy. a place for deep thoughts (like: ooh, he said Duck, hehe) and meditation (god, how can she DO that? tilting head in amazment at said "dancer"'s nubile agility). the people flock to this wonderous town (importing workers), but life is hard here, and many shall die in making a happier empire.

1754 - ottomans and germany sign peace, and promptly declare on scandinavia. germany then feels cocky enough to declare on the Hitties aswell.

managed only 8 turns, in almost 3 hours. quite fast...
treaty with germany is up for a redeal in 3-4. i suggest peace and the see what happens?
Mari has an empty army. there are a few MechInf's getting there. or fill it with local tanks.
ive been busy using those bombers. not many undamaged tiles left anywhere in the world.
we are now around 77k culture with 1150cpt.

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

Hey guys, I'm on hiatus until monday - at the inlaws, skip me till then.

@ SW

 

[nerovats]

Got it, 77K, witrh 1150 a turn, that's just 20 turns, I'll play today, so the Admiral can finish it off.
