[Earl Of Chester]

hmmm..... it just it is unlikley that we will be getting another GL on our continent and the FP would take an age to build in a location where we would liek it. If you can get your FP down early in a good position all the better. Plus there isn't much of England left as you can see below and we need Astronomy/Navigation (can't remember which) before we can even consider a cross water invasion.... by then your getting near Cavalry and are facing at least Musketmen.

Anyway heres what remains of England:

And whats left of Germany....

True, with the map looking like that, the fp would probably be a better use for the leader, but could you imagine our invasion force being cavalry armies when we do cross the ocean?

 

[Earl Of Chester]

I always think the usefullness of Armies is being able to pair attacking units with defensive units but I'm preety certain that the army can only move as fast as the slowest unit in it.... until mech inf that slows the attacking units right down....

I'm not armies biggest fan sorry.....

And our continent reminds me of Africa..... with 2 little penisulas coming offthe side and a blunt end

Anyway if you want to swap with Axid just post to say so. I think hes done his check for now while I was playing (that took over 2 1/2 hours! )

 

[shdwlord]

I never mix slow units and fast units in an army. This allows the army to blitz enemy cities, and defenders can get to the cities on the roads. Cavalry armies are great, they keep their 3 movement, and can take out fortified infantry. It basically becomes a 15 health cavalry unit.

 

[Earl Of Chester]

Guess I'm just too causious for my own Good
Are you taking your turn now or wait to go after Axid?

 

[LKendter]

Uhhh....

My leader ALREADY built the FP in Berlin.

My vote is a army. Let's us build Heroic epic for more changes at armies. We can build military academy.

 

[MummyMan]

I say that we build up our infrastructure and then attack later or try to go for a space victory. I think that's it's not satisfying to kill everybody early in the game.

 

[LKendter]

Well there is another continent out there!

We don't want a surprise where the out one is a powerhouse

 

[Axid]

i'm going to get the download tonite and post it tommorow.
i won't be able to do it tonite. i'll let you know what happens

 

[Earl Of Chester]

Sorry about that LKendter..... must have skipped that part when reading your post. i agree in that case about making an army as there are no wonders which we are behind in I would guess. we started the Sistine as soon as we could in a good production centre..... should be a few techs ahead of the AI

We need to carry on building up Infustructure whatever but I wouldn't make too many decsions about what way are going until we see whats going on over the sea on the other Continent. making contact witha Civ over there is a priority...... opens a lot of trade options wth the amount of luxurys we have.....

Before that though we need to settle as much of the land as possible. As soon as those AI civs seeour continent there will be settlers popping up all over the place.

So my suggested objectives are(after finishing off England), in order:

1. Improve hapiness infrustructure.
2. Switch over to Republic.
3. Settle as much as possible.
4. Make Contact with Other Continent

Anyway good luck Axid

 

[MummyMan]

It seems that a lot has changed since my day . I have no good idea of our situation so could somebody post a zoomed out map of our land and or the minimap?

 

[Earl Of Chester]

Your wish is my command Give me 2 mins..... will need 2 screenshots for it

 

[Earl Of Chester]

Make that 2 and a 1/2 these are taken at the end of my turn so after Axid they will hopefully be quite a bit more green

Anyway heres the Far North

 

[Earl Of Chester]

You can't see many of the centeral cities on that so heres a pic with them and upper old England:

 

[Earl Of Chester]

And heres the south...... soon to be all Green

 

[LKendter]

A lot more green since my turn

 

[MummyMan]

And two times as many cities since mine! I see that we destroyed the Germans, good job!

Sorry I didn’t do more but I ran out of time, and barely got this done. I decided to go for banking. The heroic epic will be complete in 12, 13 turns and the brits have one city left, near the germans. That’s all I’ve got to say for now.


the germans aren't dead yet mummy man, they have 1 or 2 cities, don't remember. and england has as i said one city, size one. yes it is more green in the south (actually solid green .
