DW01-B: Whistling In The Dark (Take 2)

[TheOverseer714]

I have a free weekend coming up, so I can take it any time. Looks like we can dispose of Korea, Greece and Babylon soon after a merry round of gifting up, since we are closing in on the Modern Age. Glad to see we have some nice cash reserves to steal tech that they will probably not trade for any reason. Do we have Espionage? I guess it is getting near time to plot out the endgame, so we can get good and Machiavellian and start our evil plot for world domination so we can escape to our evil lair on Alpha Centauri.

 

[DWetzel]

No, we don't have Espionage. If we want to do that, we should probably do it next, so that we have time to build the Intelligence Agency somewhere.

 

[Greebley]

My thought on freeing up cities for the spaceship is to build Infantry and then Tanks. Infantry free up when we get the mech armor and can switch to tanks. We can get modern armor late when most pieces are available and then the cities building tanks can switch to the spaceship.

For modern techs, I think getting research labs in all cities (internet right?) would be a good first priority in terms of tech, then going for space techs leaving synth fibers/modern armor toward the very end.

I would definitely play Overseer. No sign of Rodent.

Edit: Going for Espionage sounds very reasonable. I would do that after flight. We should build up money (i.e. not spend it) for steals of the modern techs from the science civs if we go for this.

[DWetzel]

Makes sense re the infantry and tank builds. Internet will be tough to make useful with no prebuild, though I guess it may save a couple of turns. We will have about 3 or 4 techs done after miniaturization before we get it. Then again there won't be a lot else to do.

 

[TheOverseer714]

Got it. I can begin play tonight. I will go with Greebe's suggestions, they make good sense. I will mind the budget so we can afford 2 safe steals and still not be tapped out, that would be ~7200 gold. I will try to get all our ducks in a row for the endgame.

 

[TheOverseer714]

It has taken long enough, but I'm finished....finally. The last IBT had 2 Luxury trades end, so we'll need to raise the luxury rate to compensate. All the rioting messed up the Micromanagement, so the next player has something to do besides worker moves. The next player also gets to manage the gifting, trading and stealing to get into the next age. Fortunately we have plenty enough cash, I hope. Here is my turn-log:

[Greebley]

We now have transports for our armies. I think a war for lux is a good idea now. Before we just couldn't do it with our pathetic number of galleons and no army transport ability.

BTW were trying to trade techs for the Lux and they wouldn't trade?

[TheOverseer714]

I think the only lux we can get is Dyes from the Mongols for Electricity or Industrialization. America has Incense, but it's not available due to an embargo. Any other luxes are being traded to nations they don't hate, there are no others even available. Anyway, I think we can actually keep the people happy by our own luxuries, happy builds and the slider, it was just losing 2 luxes at the same time that sent our idiots.. errr citizens into a tizzy. Most of our core cities aren't rioting, just the ones with no colosseums or cathedrals are. We are off cruise control, but the situation is not dire.

 

[Greebley]

Up to the next player then whether he wants to grab dyes or not.

 

[DWetzel]

DWetzel - Up (don't forget to post )

Thanks for the reminder!

Gots it, will play probably tomorrow some time.

 

[DWetzel]

Okay, I went for the mass chaos approach. This includes playing only eight turns (really, seven and a half); time has been shorter than I hoped.

Highlights:

We're modern.
Gifting went crappily, with three doses of Ecology and one dose of Fission. We have both after stealing Fission.
We have an MGL waiting to build Apollo Program.
Greece, Korea, and Babylon have departed the earth, and our island is completely ours.
We're at war with Zulu (still), Mongols, and Germany. We've got a few alliances in place, but feel free to break them whenever.
We are on 5-turn research at the moment; I went for Rocketry for a reason that seemed good at the time but wasn't. Should go for Miniaturization and the Internet next, I think. We are running a heavy deficit, but we can afford it for quite a while.
I went and took some Silks from Germany.

eACav kills Greek warrior.
Cav takes two Greek workers.

ROP Babylon to get the rest of the artillery into position (ain't I a stinker?) Also ROP Germany for reasons to be shown soon.

Bombard Babylon. Mongols declare war via the MPP (boo), so we lose dyes. It is guarded by two rifles and three spears. One cav army and two cav later, the Babylonians are destroyed. Carchemish starts a courthouse.

After all the trading and warring, Rocketry is in 5 turns at 90%, -343 gpt (but we have over 10k in the bank). We have five sources of uranium.

Silk Island harbor - walls.

 

[Greebley]

Sounds good. Bad luck on the 3 Ecology but what can you do.

Check to see if the internet gets built in time to benefit us (number of techs we need vs time to build). Our inability to prebuild may make the internet meaningless. Not sure how fast we can get it up though.

[Elephantium]

I'm also up in Rat33 (playing tonight), and I'm busy tomorrow night, so I won't get to this until Thursday -- possibly spilling over into Saturday (I'm also busy Friday night).

Now is a good time for discussion...

 

[DWetzel]

I don't know that there's a huge amount to discuss. Going to take additional luxuries is pretty much optional at this point I think. It gives something to do other than workers, which is nice at least.

The relevant question is is the Internet useful. I think it's marginal; we have seven techs after Miniaturization, and building in our top shield producer is going to take about 14 turns IIRC), but it also can't really hurt anything to go that route, so we may as well stick Mooville or Riverbend on Internet duty. We have enough decent shield producers to get the relevant ship parts.

The other relevant factor is maximizing research rate without going broke. It is probably worthwhile double-checking our science farm areas for maximum output. I don't think we can get 4 turn research, but 5 should be possible.

It may also be worthwhile to do massive worker adds (or disbands) soon, to get unit costs down.

I think towns that we want to be relevant to builds should probably go on tank duty; we can get Synth Fibers with about two techs to go and those will come free due to Modern Armor, allowing us to finish off that 640-shield exterior. It may also be worthwhile continuing to war for the purpose of getting additional MGLs in the very late game, to maybe rush a ship part.

 

[Greebley]

Sounds like a good summary. I can't think of anything to add. I think we coast to victory at this point.

 

[Spoonwood]

Lurker's challenge: If you want a more interesting finish, don't build *any* spaceship parts by hand. MGL rush *each* of them (and the Apollo Program also maybe?). I guess you might have to break variant to do that, but still... I have a feeling you guys would find that more interesting at this point.

Addendum: You wouldn't need to break variant to do this actually. It's actually pretty simple to do this without pre-building *if* you can get 11 MGLs. I know someone here will figure it out.

 

[Greebley]

Modern armor is always great for getting leaders because elite is so easy. In large AW games over 100 armies is not unusual with most of which come from leaders. Many come at the end when tanks and then MA come in. Tanks work too of course.

I am fine with coasting though.

 

[Elephantium]

Sorry, guys, I haven't played yet - I got caught up in other things over the past few days I'll start playing right now.
