Democratic Succesion Game

[Seidrik_The_Gray]

I did play!

I took Beijing and I upgraded some units, while being careful to maintain some cash in reserves. We completed Chemistry, Steel, and Economics. We are working on Corporation on the way to Steam Power then Industrialism.

I would think we should go for Artillery too?

I took Beijin with some casualties, but I built many other units, so it's no serious loss.

I am Bombarding the defenses in Shaghai and have a large force outside her walls. She should fall with the next player.

Looking at the way things are right now, I should think that we're gaining serious momentum towards rolling up our entire continent, no?

I think we should go after Huayna Capac next and leave Wang Kon for a trading partner for the extra cash until we decide we need to take him out too.

FYI, Qin is ready to Capitulate, but I think we should just take him out entirely.

Sorry, I couldn't get the save uploaded for some reason. I will try again when I get home.

That'll need Scientific Method - Physics if I'm not mistaken. A good option, but maybe Tanks are more attractive.

2 down, 1 falling, and 2 to go.

Possible, we could also take Wang Kon, since our stack will be near him anyway.

If we want to take all his cities, we will need to go for Wang next, to avoid too much cultural pressure IMO.

I agree, and think Wang Kon would be easier than Qin was.

1600 AD NEXT!!!!

w00ter is up, right?

 

[w00ter]

I guess so I'll play the game this sunday.

So the plan right now is to crush whole of China and after that Blitzkrieg Huayna Capac. I will look at the map soon to figure out our evil and savage plan mubuahahahah. (HC isn't powerfull right?).

Since I've been absent the last few weeks, I could use a semi-detailed plan what to do .

 

[dutchfire]

Well, I'd say that attacking Wang Kon after Qin would make more sense.

Just build proper military and kill some enemies

We are working on Corporation on the way to Steam Power then Industrialism.

I think you should focus on building cannons. Whether you attack Wang Kon or Huayna is up to you. Huayna is close to getting Democracy, and causing Emancipation unhappiness that way. Wang Kon is closer to getting riflemen. Both of them should be easy to take down. If you attack Huayna, put your troops on the borders of our various vassals, and take down a couple of cities in a short rush. If you take down Wang, just put your troops on our southwestern border, and work your way down until you hit Seoul.

I noticed that only Wang Kon has gunpowder, while we're close to infantry

 

[w00ter]

Ok I'm gonna play my ten turns now.

 

[w00ter]

I played. I will only notice the important things.

Turn 0:
Bombed Najing
Set army on heal
Order workers to improve infrastructure near future fronts.

Turn 1:
Corporations -> Steam Power
Continued production on Cavs 'n Cans
Ordered angry cities to produce happy buildings
Attacked Najing with losing 2 trebs.

Turn 2:
Took Najing
Upgraded Trebs to Cans

Turn 3:
Mali begs for Guilds, I refuse.

Korea has no Pikes -> cunning plan comes to my mind...

Turn 4:
Great Merchant Born in Delhi

Turn 5:
Steam Power -> Assembly Line
Agra completes Customs House -> Drydock (Should we turn Agra into a naval base? We need to build a navy if we want to conquer the Chinese Islands.)
Coal discovered near Viagra
Lose 2 cannons in siege of Chengdu.

Turn 6:
Wang Kon offers Optics + 75g for corporations, I refuse.
DoW Korea
I invade with 2 armies, 1 north and 1 east. I also have 2 mobile cav armies to intercept the main Korean Army (see the evil and cunning plan screen).

Turn 7:
De Gaulle offers world map trade, I accept. New continent discovered (Arabia).
Set workers to mine new coal resources.
"Cav mobile unit 1" destroyed but took almost the whole Korean main army with it.
Korea pushes on to east of Cheju to recapture a worker, but is ambushed by "Cav mobile unit 2" and annihilated.

Turn 8:
Agra -> Ironclad
Took Nanp'o without casualties.

Turn 9:
Wang Kon is the new Pope.
Great General born in Delhi.

Turn 10:
Set army to heal.

Here is the war situation. Our army controls the land north of the hills (the red dotline).

Now all we have to do is to roll-up the rest of Korea.

 

[dutchfire]

I don't think we should start overseas invasions just yet.

w00ter, do you have a save too?

 

[w00ter]

o lol sorry here it is

 

[DaveShack]

I guess I'm up, right?

 

[dutchfire]

Right

 

[dutchfire]

We might as well vassalize Qin now and stop that war weariness. Don't take any of his crappy of continent cities though.

After Assembly Line, I think we should go for Astronomy.

Use the Great General on an infantryman built in Bombay, making it a 28 exp. unit. That'll be powerful . Keep advancing on Korea.

There's a GM in Delhi, I'd bring him to the Incan capital, and use him on a trade mission. We might want to upgrade some riflemen.

OT: 3-0!!! Take that you spaghetti eaters!!! (I like spaghetti though )

Surely you could have come up with something better than Spaghetti eaters!

Good match though, Holland look the best team so far.
