Double Secret Probation

DSP- 450AD
Pre-turn – Make a scientist in The Hague for one turn and still get the growth in 1. It jacks the gpt to +44. Would really like to get a new settler to the erased city near Eindhoven. Get it to 2 -2, hopefully we get thet spot. Send one of the 2 workers sitting on his hands in The Hague to work on the other island. Get 18gpt and 50g from Maya to help them against the Chinese who seem to be kickin' that Mayan butt. I also pillage the road Carthage was using to get his dyes back. Slide the 3 cats and sword down in case Carthage does a landing. Let's see what is going on.

IT - Not much

(1) 460AD - Set Mono to 13 turns. Drop the worker on the other island. Upgrade the capital spear to a swiss merc. I like the idea of a goldAge soon, it will facilitate Copes.

IT - Hague and Maastricht go for Swiss mercs after a settler and rax respectively.

(2) 470AD - Look at a deal for furs with hannibal, he won't give g but will give gpt. I sell to hope he does not attack but I think it is coming. Time for Mercs.


(3) 480AD - We need more land. Not enough tiles to play with. Not understanding the irrigation. It looks like we need production in those cities not pop.

(4) 490AD - Leos is in and we land near Eindhoven with the cow.

(5) 500AD - We build a couple workers. Harlingen is settled and set to rax. 2 settlers are being built to fill out the island.

(6) 510AD - Babs gets KT.

(7) 520AD - Gronigen goes to Temple to get some squares back.

(9)540AD - Slider up to get thoe in 4 aiming at Copes and nav.

(10) 550AD - Building libs for our space directed empire and mercs to protect it. We need to take out carthage once knights come along.

I would say 2-3 mercs on the front lines and then quite a few knights ought to do it for carthage. Finish off filling out the island and look to get SM's there to so we don't get over run there anytime soon. Supply that island!!!
 
pre turn, seems ok. no changing. plan is keep it safe and grow.

1- Middleburg worker > treb, Breda worker > worker,
move workers off to that island.
lower lux a notch.

2- Hague rax > LB, Holwerd settler > treb,
Iron Delft riots, get a taxman.
Inca just got THEOLOGY (with 1 turn to go.. :mad: hope a deal will still be viable)
lux slider goes to 0 gaining us some much needed 65g.

3- THEO > EDU in 23, losing 6gpt.
THEOLOGY goes to Babylon for 4gpt, 7g, Spices and Ivory. cany get guns from them for any price.
twiddle sliders and get a taxman in Amsterdam and Gronigen. now EDU in 17.
Build Carwash in carthage's face > temple (or lib)

4- Amsterdam lib > temple, Maastricht harbor > court.
Carthage just ploped a hat on the volcano island.

5-Haarlem SM > lib,

6- Insence runs out. renew for dyes, furs and change.
build i hate Oasis!! > harbor,

7- Amsterdam temple > dral (or do we want to try for Sistine's? others are building it for a few turns, but we can complete in 30 turns)

8- Eindhoven temple > lib, Haarlingen rax > settler,

9- RENEW PEACE with Babylon.
Mao demands 27g. ok.

not much happened <<<< SAVE >>>>

680 - renew furs to Hannibal for 9 gpt (up from 7 gpt)
get Education Hammi won't trade for Guns
send Edu, 13gpt, & 64G to China for guns :D
(everyone has Chemistry already)
700 - Inca & Carthage have Astro ( Inca starts Copers
750- Astro due in 5 although it might be squeezed out in 4 if you're tight.
Inca and Hanni still have Astro & Chem... Once it comes in in 5 turns sell it to either China or Babylon (best price including Chemistry). Then you might be able to get something else out of the other one.

We have saltpeter on Igor's isle underneath Leiden. Those cities will grow to 3 then they have to be starved back down because of a lack of lux able to reach those ports.

The Carthage MDI is still wandering around. He hasn't crossed our borders yet but watch him when he gets around our workers
 
I'm into Civ4 up to my ears BUT, if the others involved in this game don't have CIV4 I will certainly continue.
 
I have Civ 4, but also black terrain and floating eyeballs for leaders, so I'm not as into it as I could be.

I want to finish this, too, though.
 
Hey ! everyone wants to finish but nothing's up?! :bump: !
 
I hadn't seen AK online in a while. His son finished up football jsut recently, but maybe now he's off to Penn State waiting in line for bowl tickets.

If USC or Texas lose then Penn State could go to the NAtional Championship Game. I hate both USC & Texas but almost hope they do meet so Texas can slap around those cocky jerks in Southern California. 2 games they almost lost and are still #1. Texas has been blowing out everyone (in a good conference).. Don't get me started about USC's weak schedule.

College football is as corrupt as the 75th town you found in civ3. jsut one shield coming out of that puppy.
