El-J 02 ~ Rise of the Iron Curtain

hi guys im back... my internet would not work for a whole week.... :( I just fixed it so im going to catch up on whats happening
 
IBT:

Mexico demands 100 gold tribute. I tell them to buzz off and they inform me the gods instruct them to spare our civ for the time being. Yeah right.

Coal produced in Srinagar.

Week 9 1951: (turn 1) Mec mining in 2 turns. 2320 gold oh. +258 gold/turn.
Tweak population to get +439 gold/turn.

Recon in SE Asia shows Greyhounds in each city.

Build a road north of Ahmadabad. Move the other workers on the hil between Mumbai and Vishakhapatanm to build a cross road on the mine. Wish we had more workers available with the coming of mech mining, but I am not going to change current builds for it.

IBT:

Infantry complete at Mumbai. Start port complex 7 turns.

Week 11, 1951: (turn 2) 2813 gold OH. +443 gold/turn.

Move infantry to Ahmadabad, which now has a garrison of 1 regular and 1 reserve infantry. Will need to beef up the border with Pakistan or their tanks will do some damage to our border cities.

IBT:

Mech Mining complete. Start working on Uranium Enrichment.
Calcutta completes Heavy Industrial complex. Start infantry unit.
Nagpur completes Coal mine. Start Engineer.
Srinagar completes arty. Start another arty.

Week 13, 1951: (turn 3) 3258 gold OH. +150 gold/turn

Put in a mine on the rail west of Nagpur to kick production to 52 in Nagpur. (Dropped a turn from building the engineer).

IBT:

Iron mine produces resources at Kanpur
Ahmadadabad completes International airport and starts on Auto Dealership (need the cultural against Pakistan to keep our tiles)
Calicut completes Heavy Industry and starts on Port Complex

Week 15, 1951: (turn 4) 3408 gold OH. +146 gold/turn.

Mine outside of Delhi

IBT:

Vish completes International airport and starts on Port complex
Bangalore completes International airport and starts on Civil Engineer

Week 17, 1951: (turn 5) 3604 gold OH. +237 gold/turn.

Another mine outside of Delhi

Recommendations:

Continue to get the port complexes in. (They provide a huge boost in production and coin). We need a few more workers to make mining go easier and also to work on the rail net a bit. As El Justo knows, I am a big fan of converting most tiles to minds for extra shield production instead of extra population. For this scenario, as long as a city is size 25, then you are good in terms that the next break is size 50 and we won't have much reach that. I think the workers should continue around Delhi in order to boost shield production as much as possible. After building the tank there, we need to look at a bunch of infantry because we have 4 cities that can be attacked by Pakistani tanks and they will need multiple defenders until we can deal with the Pakistani tanks. Until that happens, attacking in the east is foolish.

nice work Kly :D

Tad, perhaps you can jump in for Kraz as i've been informed that he needs a skip...

El Justo -
Klyden - done
Kraznaya - skip
Tad Empire 0 o - on deck
ThERat - warming up
soul warrior -
Tasslehoff - skippy
 
lurker's comment: Boy the tanks are kind of pricey, looks like about as many shields as a small wonder in the regular game. Oh, and you definitely have more than one lurker...
 
alright I got it... will play today and/or tomorrow... I think that infantry are more apropriate as they are cheaper but not as strong offensivly as the Tanks
 
:worship: .
 
nice s_w :goodjob:

yes, the costs of the armored units is a little heavy. however, our lack of infrastructure contributes some to this, i think. once we can get rolling some, it'll ease up. but Tad is right. our infantry are more valuable at this point. once we get Centurions though...and then T54s, it's a whole new ball game as they say :D
 
Lurkers comment: I'm playing as the US, and it still takes New York, Boston, Philly, etc about 6-8 turns to complete an M-47 Patton. With no corruption, light and heavy industrial complexes, mines all around, etc.
 
There are still further production increases available as the scenario goes along. I have had Moscow pumping out tanks every other turn before, so it is possible. Tanks taking 6-8 turns is not too bad as that means you can pop infantry out in 2-3 turns and air in 1-2 turns. The other thing to keep in mind with production rates is concern for hitting MUA.

Lurkers comment: The problem is war. One needs tanks ASAP, and 6-8 turns for production and then several more for transport. I don't have to explain how important one turn can be. ;)

Of course it's more an issue if war is declared on you, and you're completely unprepared, but it still can be problematic. But I suppose I shouldn't complain, as India's production is very unlikely to be better than that of the US :smug:
 
anyone playing this???
 
Looks like it was supposed to be Tad's turn but that was several days ago. May have to skip, in which case it would be ThERat up next, but that will be Ej's call.
 
just played another marathon game, will take it tomorrow
 
IT Autralia demands 100gold, ok for now
everyone declares on China, then Russia demands 100gold, I refuse, enough is enough, they declare and we get some WH :)
the whole west is at war with them as well

go for structural engineering in 3

1. week 19 1951AD
as we got a lot of cash, rush the sherman for 50 gold, do the same for an infantry for 150gold

IT we seem to be he cash cow for everyone, Truman demands 100gold and I cave

2. week 21 1951AD
some recon work

IT Indonesia demands 100gold, ok for now

3. week 23 1951AD
another mine in Delhi brings the sherman down to 8 turns

IT structural engineering is in, digital computers next in 3

4. week 25 1951AD
Mumbai starts on shermans now as well

5. week 27 1951AD
we might want to rush some tanks to be able to star the campaign against Pakistan
 
spending more money is of course a good option, I was still too prudent. You can short rush tanks in Delhi for example.

I checked Russia with recon flights, bu there isn't anything. I guess they are pretty tied up with all the wars
 
0-
short rush a sherman in Delhi, by means of a UniCarrier for 1264g.
same in Mumbai for 1780g.
vishkaputen - S.Rush, via a Vampire, the port facilities for 480g.
that leaves us with 880g or so.

ibt- dry as a bone.

1- week 29, 1951
Nagpur - CE > H.Ind.Complex (as a helmet prebuild for a sherman)
vishkaputen - Port Facilities > H.Ind.Complex (as a helmet prebuild for a sherman)
Colombo - Naval Shipyard > H.Ind.Complex
Delhi - sherman > H.Ind.Complex
Calicut - Port Facilities > stadium (CE helmet build)
Mumbai - sherman > naval shipyard
Srinagar - QF 25 pounder > same.

3 clicks downwind on the scibar will produce copious amounts of milk.
recon Dushanbe (russian city, NW of us) nothing much.

ibt-
Digital Love in > Advanced Field Art (in 3)

2- week 31, 1951
Bangalore CE > CE.
3 gazillion clicks of specialists reduce the bar by 10%. thats an extra 120g.

ibt-
nada

3- week 33, 1951
Madras - H.Ind.Complex > sherman
Ahamanabad ??? - naval shipyard
Delhi - H.Ind.Complex > Iron mine

calicut - switch to CE, S.R for 176.
vishnayak - switch to CE, rush for 488.
decide to let nagpur get the H.Ind.Complex for those 12 extra shields.
beaker management for those cities reduce the bar by another notch.

ibt-
greece-china, warsaw-italy peace, heck - looks like WW3 is over :(

4- week 35, 1951
nagpur - H.Ind.Complex > sherman
kanpur - AUTOMOBILE INDUSTY is in [party] > sherman

colombo - H.Ind.Complex > Mainframe Comp Plant (it is making 79 shields now, and an extra 50%...)
calicut - CE > QF25 pounder
mumbai - naval shipyard > sherman

ibt-
:mad: the REDs have arrived. :mad:
2 bombing runs on culcuta and srindikar each. lost culcutta's Motion Picture Show.

5- week 37, 1951
ADVANCED FIELD ART just came in. set it to A.AAA towing services.
Delhi - iron mine > coal mine
srinagar - QF 25 pounder > research lab.

----
notes:
* consider peace with the reds?
* pakistan still have a strong army to our weak one.
* afganistan has a weak army. consider taking them out? who are they aligned with? *
* if we do go for afgan whigs first, it will give us the 3 cities, but also open a wide front towards pakistan's western part.

and finally, a wide view of whats what and who's who.
