DGIT # 3 - The Emperor Level Strikes Back

[alerum68]

Awesome job Oblivion! You played out my vision of the war perfectly! I was hoping you'd be able to declare peace after taking htat last city, just wasn't sure if they'd be talking to you yet. Perfect war, did everythign I was hoping... gave us 3 new cities, 2 luxuries, and took away some of unit cost.

Suggestion for Blas: Build Libs in the 3 cities i mentioned in my turn post... think it's Bombay, Delhi, and Madras. That would give us a *HUGE* boost in our science rate.

 

[-0blivion-]

OK, you're up then SK.

Resident warmonger?
Well, thats the second time Alerum has left me with a stack of horseman, what do you expect me to do

Edit: Ah yes, libraries. Guess i forgot about them...

 

[alerum68]

It's okay Oblivion, I planned on leaving you those stacks of horseman. hehehehe

Don't worry about the Libraries... I think they only have a few turn on horseman, so a switch should be pretty much possible.

 

[-0blivion-]

Apart from Madras, yeah. Madras is on FP though. I started that in Stockholm, but switched to Madras on my last turn. Our empire is expanding fast, and we need a way to fight corruption in old Viking and Iro lands.

Have a couple of peaceful builder turns, building infrastructure and horsies, and research Chivalry? Then we can upgrade the horsies and let it rip with elephants on the Ottomans. They have gems and i don't want to face Sipahi.
Do horseman upgrade to elephants?

It would be quite a nicely timed GA as well, giving us the income boost to research ahead up to Mil Trad.

 

[SpikeIt]

Yup. I believe horseman do upgrade to elephants. Sounds like bio-engineering to me, but we have the power.

Sounds like a plan. I agree, Sipahi would not be fun to play against. We should have a force in place sometime about when, hmmm, Oblivion is ready to play again?!

How about we swap out Alerum to play before me? I'd like to play with the pointy sticks too.

Take it away SK:

6)SpikeIt
7)Smellincoffee

 

[SolarKnight]

I got it guys.

 

[Blasphemous]

The WAR Elephant is obviously a carnivorous subspecies... They grow especially fast when we feed them raw Warhorse, so we can put good use to our obsolete troops in order to get the new army up and running. =P

 

[alerum68]

Blas, why are we skipping you til the 20th again?

 

[Sandrock LQ]

Blas, why are we skipping you til the 20th again?

I believe he was going out of town. Nice turns everyone. I guess this difficulty level isn't too bad as long as you take it 10 turns at a time. And if you can get your turns done by Thursday of Friday, I'll be set to do mine SolarKnight.

 

[Blasphemous]

Blas, why are we skipping you til the 20th again?

(Annual) family vacation.
We're heading out in half an hour.
Play well when I'm gone, show those capitalist (monarchist?) pigs some hell!
(I'm sure you realize having elephants will mean we have to switch to Communism ASAP since well... elephants!)

Aaah. There's the Blas we know and love. I was waiting for the first communist comment of the game. I think those Red Legion boards are affecting his brain.

 

[-0blivion-]

Well, we have been screwed out of a central capital location again...May have to go commie just to beat the corrution. You'll like that, won't you Blas

 

[alerum68]

LMAO! Another mad dash to space for peaceful communisit hum? Actually, I think we should go Demo since we're planning to make this one a war based game... it keep it all convoluted.

hehehe.... actually, as much as I hate to admit it, Communisum is so good in C3C that if you can get past the no cash rushing, it's very powerful....

 

[-0blivion-]

Nah, im all for a domination win this game
I wasn't in the first game, win by conquest.
The second game dragged a bit when we were near the end. I was forced to use ICBMs.

No, i won't have a peaceful victory, we need a violent one

 

[SpikeIt]

Oh yeah, no space this time around. I agree, its hard to really beat Communism. In our last game, the loss of cash rushing wasn't really missed either. I kind of like Alerum's idea... fend off the AI on Emperor while in a Democracy. Now that could be a bit of a challenge.

 

[alerum68]

hehehehe... that's nothing... In Race Wars we're starting off with Byz on a Pangea, (Keep in mind, it's a seafaring civ), and it's AWM.

 

[SpikeIt]

Yup, I saw that. Going to make the most of your UU I see. And talked into AWM to boot (thought it was MAW though ). Good luck in that one. Communist is definitely the way to go there!

 

[alerum68]

Who needs a UU, when you go the beautiful lady Theo. (i'm pretty sure that's the only reason Bede suggested the civ) But the MAW was my idea.

 

[Sandrock LQ]

Hmmm, if I don't get a save by early afternoon, I won't be able to play my turns until next Thusday. I just got nailed with 8 hours of mandatory OT tomorrow.

 

[SolarKnight]

sorry guys, please skip me, i have to redo some uni coursework.

sorry sk.
