Got it. I'll play at the weekend. I'm up in 2 other SGs and still have to finish GOTM38.

Neil. :cool:
 
Little action to report, but I bought the remaining MA techs and we're now Industrial. Oh, and the Mayans now have Nationalism. They keep sending a stack of Muskets across our territory, and I keep booting them.

Techs are now too expensive to buy. Time to start stealing, and as we intend to be at war with the Maya soon....

Turn log

0 1500 Pre-turn: rush Rax in Pentraeth. Maya are Industrial - eek. Rifles! Hurry a bunch of Culture across the land.

1 1505 52394 culture, 784cpt. 100K in 1774 (Turn 352) - 60 turns away. Give the boot order to Maya, they comply. Upgrade 19 Knights to Cavs, will load 1 Cav into the 2-Kinght Army at Pentraeth. Magnetism will cost us 3000+gold, it may be a 2-fer though because Vikings don't have it. I haggle, and get it for 2761g. Get ToG from Vikings for Magnetism+WM+856g. Rush what culture I can with the money left. We are now Industrial!

2 1510 53183, +789. Hurry Walls in Pentraeth. Maya keep sending a stack of Muskets into our territory.

3 1515 53978, +795. Boot Mayans again and they go. We need 114 tiles to Domination - not that much Mayan territory. We will be facing Rifles, I expect. On a totally different note, just how many city names do the Celts have? Most other Civs, we'd be on to 2s and maybe even 3s by now! There's not even a single 'New' amongst our cities.

4 1520 So much didn't happen I forgot to write a log.

5 1525 55592, +810. Win now in 1770 (turn 350). Mayans booted again, but they're annoyed now. Upgrade all our Caravels. Move the Gallic Army towards a boat for transport!

6 1530 Nothing much. 56408, +816

7 1535 57230, +822. Boot the Mayans yet again.

8 1540 58058, +828. The Mayans have Nationalism. They have no price for it. We can probably steal it though. An immediate steal is 1010g, with a chance of getting Music Theory as well. I'll leave it to the next player to decide.

9 1545 58892, +834. Mayans booted AGAIN. Keep it up, Smoke, keep it up….

10 1550 59732, +840. 1766, turn 348, in 48 turns' time. Units are going to Umma for loading. Next player will get the Mil Acad finished in Entremont to play with.

Will we win in 2 turns?
Then I suppose we all play the two last turns.

Greetz Jurimax

No... probably another 30-40 turns left, I reckon. We're aiming to win with Domination and 100K on the same turn. Do-able, as we won't need to take too many Mayan cities.

That would be so cool. My suggestion would be to get pretty close the limit (use MapStat a lot) and triggering domination by taking one or two cities. I wouldn't accept flips, either.
 
Is Jurimax able to play? If no response by the time I'm back from work (~7pm GMT), skip and move on to the next:

eldar <- just played
jurimax <- Up next!
Bede <- on deck
viper275
(FreeTheSlaves - pulled out)
Admiral Kutzov
 
Sorry team, I'll have to drop out of this one.
I simply haven't gotten any time left, my new business is really going great.

Greetz Jurimax
 
Good to see things going well, sorry to say goodbye!

Revised roster:
eldar -> just played!
(jurimax - successful entrepeneur, dropped out)
Bede -> up next!
viper275 -> on deck
(FreeTheSlaves - dropped out)
Admiral Kutzov

Neil. :cool:
 
Good luck, J-max. See you on the Forbes 400.

Got it. Play today.
 
1550-1600

Nothing much to report.

Maya refuse to take the war bait and we successfully steal Nationalism.

Build up the forces in Penraeth and move them out to the forests on the border and into the Viking enclave. Took an RoP and MPP with Ragnar so if MAya get shirty and attack Vikings we have another causus belli.

Move some workers over to Penraeth to build some roads.

There are two settlers (nice planning) hanging out at Penraeth. They could be used to build two towns in the corners just to tease Maya a little further or they can be saved for after Novgorod and Yaroslavl burn.

Waiting for Smoke to learn Steam for a steal or we could try a steal on Communism but that's a rather useless bit of knowledge for us.

Bought some luxes from the Vikings trying to kick off WLKTD and get better production in some towns. The silks are on his home island, so should be safe, the furs are at Rostov so may be at risk when war comes.

Also canceled all open deals with Smoke for luxuries.

Our culture count is 68256+910cpt. Rush 30 cathedrals or universities and we will be at 1000cpt.

Culture victory projected at 1760.

Why do I think we are forgetting something?

The Emerald Isle:

Got it. I'll try to get it finished by tonight, but I think it'll probably be tomorrow.
 
eldar is next.

2
Duleek founded (on the home continent, I actually found a place we could squeeze one more city in.
4
Clonard founded. Yep, more ICS.
7
Jaguar's got Steam Power, steal safely for 2149 gold. Fail and Smoke-Jaguar is not pleased, he declares. Burn Novgorod, capture Seibal (we have great culture so I'm not worried about flips as long as the enemy won't take it immediately.) Buy Steam Power from Ragnar for 1852 gold. Wake up the workers and start railroading.
IBT- Scandinavia declares on Maya. Surprise, surprise.
8
Capture Yaroslavl' and Smolensk.
9
Tuam founded. Capture Moscow and Vladivostok.
IBT- Moscow riots.
