DMI VII - Team BtS

[Trieste]

got it

looking at the save you're right, we won't have enough to wipe out the ejaps so I'll try for Thebes and the northern cities and leave the onebetween St. Pete's and America as a buffer.

the settler at x is next to a barb sword. it's doomed on T0 unless I'm missing something

 

[r_rolo1]

Noob I'm playing too much with pholk

Sorry for that ppl

 

[Trieste]

T0- that settler - rolo you will make me

Pay no attention to the settler I just lost in AZ-6

T1- revolt to Bureaucracy, repel barbs in SW, bombard Thebes, pillage Iron with 2 spears

Ibt- ejap counteroffensive: horse archers and WCs move to Elephantine in 1 turn and devastate the 2 axe garrison. Elephantine falls

T2- Bureaucracy gets +gpt, St. Pete's back to mil duty

Ibt- 2 axemen sniped by war chariots

T3- gesture of mercy, enemy wounded, possible peace treaty etc- NO

IBT- wow that is a lot of swordsmen and WC, maybe I should have said yes

T4- 10% sci breaks even. Galley drops off 2 WC by memphis, whip spear there. retake elephantine

T5- army healing in Elephintine. 2WC by memphis pull back to the main battlefield


T7- war is a stalemate, I can protect Elephantine with the army while it heals but not do much else.

T8- turn down Kublai for a war vs. Isabella. I also turned down his request to stop trading with washington so we'll have some minuses there for sure.

T9- traded CS to Isabella for Aesthetics+Calender. She was the only one who didn't have it

T10- Maceman in thebes. If we continue this war it will have to just be pillaging for a turn or 2 imo

barbs coming in the west

the Novgorod courthouse can be whipped but there is a GS due there in 2 turns

Mr pawelo decided to skip himself from this....

Ad Hoc you're up.

 

[pawelo]

I was up ????

Would have got it should I know (complicated sentence ain't it ? )

 

[r_rolo1]

As I'm a forgiving ruler, you can pick it if you want... ( if Ad Hoc is fine with it )....

As I criticize pawelo one time for not posting the roster, and now i'm doing the same I'lll give it a update:

1. r_rolo1
2. Trieste - Just played ( settler destroyer )
3. pawelo - skipped or up?
4. Ad Hoc - up if pawelo keeps skipped
5. Bindamel
6. Refar

 

[pawelo]

OK, now I can ask for a skip

No, well, not a skip. Still, my only tomorrow playing spot is already occupied with Swiss01... I can play on thursday at the best - maybe I can switch with AdHoc ?

(What a moron this pawelo you must all say )

 

[r_rolo1]

<-pawelo

Ok ,Ad Hoc, you're up

 

[Ad Hoc]

okay got it, will play tonight and post tomorrow

 

[Ad Hoc]

haven't been able to look at the save but from the reports it looks like we have a GS in two turns.

Are we agreed on an Academy in Moscow

 

[pawelo]

OK for me. I like capital academy, especially when cottaging alot and in bureaucracy.

 

[r_rolo1]

We already have a academy in capitol, ppl ( pfff.. nobody reads logs )

Turn 171/460 (1110 AD) [03-Jan-2008 22:04:02]
Moscow finishes: Academy

IMHO we should settle him in capitol , unless we can bulb something

 

[Ad Hoc]

just spent 30mins uploading and typing and then the whole thing crashed

1250AD: I continue to move the troops towards Thebes, although heavily defended three of the defenders are mounted.

1260AD: Bombardment of Thebes reduces it cultural defences to 6% ready for the attack next turn

1270AD: Metal casting was discovered

Suicidal attack by the catapults leaves the way open for the swords, axes and spears to take Thebes, we have just enough units with the last defender being taken out by a spear. The bad news is all the catapults are gone, if we want to continue the war we need to build more catapults. It was quite tense as Hatty had a horse archer right next to Thebes but declined to attack the solitary spear that was defending.

Thebes has the SoZ

A GG was born in St Petersburg which I left there

The GS born in Novgorod was sent to Moscow….Rolo….no I didn’t see that bit of the log.

1280AD: the GS arrived in Moscow and I discovered the academy already there. I thought long about what to do with him. My first inclination was to settle him which I think in the long run would have been the right thing to do. However we were still at war and an immediate tech boost would be an advantage and he could bulb Philo, someone had already taken Taoism but it wasn’t Washington or KK so they were up for Trades.so I bulb philo

An After affect of capturing Thebes was Memphis claimed the wines.

1290AD: I traded philo to Wash and KK for machinery and feudalism. Following that i upgraded some swords and axes in Thebes to Macemen, the GG in St Petersburg was attached to an Axe and the upgraded for free to a Maceman

1300AD: moving a spear onto a hill north east of Thebes enabled the defenders of Heliopolis to be seen, at the time it consisted of one maceman, five longbowmen and a couple of war chariots. We will definitely need some catapults.

1310AD: Hattys counterattack

1320AD – 1350AD: Started to build catapults and crossbowmen to finish of Hatty,

Heliopolis will give us a source of horses while the city between that an memphis has two sources of silver

We are running at plus gold at 30% science

Think you are up Pawelo

 

[pawelo]

Nicy!

I like those sweeping missions

Very nice play Ad Hoc, I especially like the tech trades you managed. I always $uck at this part (have the same problem in the MLG6 ).

Got it for tomorrow at the latest!

EDIT: Gimme the save

 

[Ad Hoc]

i'm having problems up loading the save.

Pawelo, see if this works.

http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/104480/DMI_VII_AD-1350.CivBeyondSwordSave

PS i have the same problems with tech trades, i'm never sure if its a good trade or not. In this case Taoism had already gone and so bulbing the GS with the trades actually got 3000+

 

[pawelo]

It has worked

And the GS use was great

 

[Refar]

Good turn Ad Hoc. I.e good call to attack Thebes.

I would make peace with Hatthy tho. We need time to build up that siege anyway, and the WW- does not help that much. I assume after the beating she's willing to pay for peace.

Edit: Looked at the save... There ae some cat's build and underway aready... so perhaps not that much point in making peace now after all...

 

[Ad Hoc]

i'd checked for peace and Hatty wouldn't even give Horse Riding/Mono for peace

i think that both Heliopolis (horses) and the silver city would be good additions to our Empire, IMHO WW isn't too much of a problem at the moment

.

 

[r_rolo1]

Nice play Ad Hoc, and nice eye for the tech trades There are some issues that spot ppl of getting up a level and managing tech trades is one of them... but you did it nicely.

IMHO we should erase hatty from the face of the Earth, even if becaUSE of the " we yearn to ..." AFAIK we still have a large and nice area to settle and we should work peace for a while ,atleast until cossacks ( not sure if we'll have a chance for that )

P.S Someone wants to make the 2nd report ?

 

[Trieste]

That was a great turn, Ad Hoc!

echoing rolo about killing off Egypt now.
