Crashed on turn 7

So I'll take a break for lunch

Not much happening, consolidation & infrastructure mainly.

I built no military as I wanted to wait for Tanks
There is an Army & support on the Southern Island if we wanted to attack Egypt (to gain a foothold on the other continent via peace deal)

Where you really disconnecting Iron??

We're superstitious of coal. If you really were disconnecting iron its likely we broke deals with India & Iroquis.

That'll teach me to play on Sunday

No worries, I was disconnecting Coal. I don't know what made me write Iron.


Ted

 

[Zwingli]

Got it and will finish the turns tomorrow. If we can maintain 4 turns per tech for the rest of the game, it should be 5-6 shifts before we can launch the spaceship.

 

[TedJackson]

Leave some war for me this time guys

Pretty please


Ted

 

[Gengis Khan]

We might have to pick on Japan just for ted.......... well & to test out our new tanks.

With all our courthouses, librarys, Unis, Coppernicus's, Newton's, & a leader waiting to build the SETI, I don't think maintaning a tech every 4 rounds will be a problem.

 

[Zwingli]

1745 AD (0) Trade Steel to India for WM + 121gpt +1000g (I gifted them up to 1000g before trading to get them more Wallstreet income).
Trade Steel + dyes to Azteca for 540g + 31gpt. No changes to current builds.

(1) Trade Steel to Zululand in exchange for wines. Workers begin changing some tiles to irrigation to speed up growth in mountainous areas. Rush a marketplace in Giza

(IBT) - Renew silks for incense + dyes deal with India. We complete the Pentagon.

(2) Join a few workers to Giza (the Copernicus city).

(3) We learn Flight making the Colossus obsolete. Pillage coal supplies and rush a Cathedral in Giza. Some southern cities switch from wealth to airports and tanks while the new northern cities continue to work on infrastructure. Radio set as the next research target due in 5 turns @ -158gpt.

(4) Join more workers to Giza up to size 12, and Giza starts a factory. Irrigate a few more squares and clean up pollution. More cities are set to build airports, and I move the new tanks over to Umfolozi where the transports are waiting for a transoceanic voyage.

(IBT)

That settles who will be the next target . We don't have enough tanks to begin the invasion immediately, some diplomatic manuvering is in order.
Egypt asks to renegotiate peace. Done (We don't want all the Egyptian citizens unhappy).

(5) Time to make some deals to prevent Japan from buying cheap alliances.
ROP with India.
sell ROP to Zulu for 5gpt. Also sell them incense and dyes for 14gpt each.
sell ROP to Azteca for 1gpt.
war happiness allows lux tax to be turned off.

(IBT) Japan sinks one of our frigates with an ironclad.

(6) I recall the other two fortified frigates to port. The southern cities continue to build tanks and airports, and a few coastal cities switch to destroyers. I rush the factory in Giza and continue to build infrastructure in the north.

Pay Aztecs 19gpt for an alliance vs. Japan
Pay India 18gpt for alliance vs. Japan
Pay Zulu 16gpt for alliance vs. Japan

The alliances free up Aztec ivory (they were trading it to Japan):

Trade Atomic Theory to Aztecs for WM + 147gpt + ivory.
Trade Atomic Theory to Zulu for 60gpt + 300g (they must have been researching AT).

(IBT) We learn Radio and enter the modern age. Computers are due in 5 turns, and there is no need to pillage coal any more [dance].

(7) Our first destroyers begin patrolling the seas. More tanks are on the way, and enough will be available for an initial invasion next turn. We sign Embargos against Japan with India, Zululand, and Azteca.

(8) Move the initial invation fleet toward Japan consisting of 16 artillery, 2 Armies, 5 tanks, and 1 infantry. More troops can be airlifted over once a city is captured on the other continent.

(IBT) - Japan signs peace with the Iroquois.

(9) Our destroyer sinks a Japanese ironclad. The fleet moves closer.

(IBT) - Renew the Iron deal with India.

(10) The invasion force lands next to a Japanese gems city. Computers are due in 2 turns, so we will have to build SETI and research labs along side the military builds. The governor is still active in most cities because we are currently getting extra happy citizens due to the war, but this condition might end once the heavy combat starts.

The Save

Probably the best course of action would be to shell the gems city to destroy as much population as possible (prevent resistance), then capture the city and build an airport as soon as possible. An airport will connect gems to our trade network and allow more troops to be airlifted onto the other continent.
Artillery, armies, and workers will still have to be taken overseas by transport.

 

[Gengis Khan]

Got it!

Well ted you got what you prayed for, I don't think we're gonna win this war in 10 turns so you'll get to do some damage yourself.

:die:

IT- SETI complete. Washington is now making 108g towards research a turn at 60%.
Wash: >RL
A lot of MIs & RLs ordered up.

3- Hurry airport in Sapparo for 650g. Move some troops.

IT- Egypt & India sign MPP. :lol

5- Sell our newly conquered gems to the Aztecs for 18gpt & 48g(still have 1 left to trade but everyones broke). Airlift over a couple more tanks/arty/MIs. After reinforcing our attack squad our homeland defense is sorely lacking, but I’m building up our navy so we won’t have to worry about it. Hurry barracks in Sapporo.

IT- Memphis: police>RL

Global warming finally strikes turning a BG into plains.

7- Great Leader farming with elite cavs finally pays off when our cav kills an infantry.[dance] What to do with him?? Our choices are UN, MP, & cure for cancer. Judging by the fact that the only 3 civs that like us are our allies makes me go with the UN to make sure no one can hold a vote(I’m almost positive Gandhi would win). NOOOO!! Our first loss of the war, an infantry drops a lucky grenade in the hatch of a tank.

Hurry a bunch of production.

IT- More improvements & units. I’m getting carpel tunnel.

8- kill more units, march on next city.

IT- Learn fission! Start on Ecology, due in 5 at 80%, 108gpt.
Elephantine starts on Manhattan Project just to make things interesting(it’s always fun to nuke the world before you leave).

9- Take Shuruppak. 0 casualties.

IT- Dye trade to Monty expires(for 31gpt), the most he’s willing to pay is 3gpt. No way!

10-

*Notes*
Our GL is 1 outside Umfolzi on a transport. We could always use the UN in Washington.
Not much else, I’ve been concentrating on infrastruction mainly. Even though we could roll over them a lot quicker with some more tanks I see no hurry. They’ve still only killed 1 tank & with a couple carriers & destroyers on the way it will go a lot faster.

Save!

Ted

 

[Zwingli]

It looks like you were able to take 10 or so cities with minimal losses. Since we still have an alliance with the Zulu, probably it will be best to wipe Japan off the map.

Got it

 

[Zwingli]

1810 AD (0) With Modern Armor on the way, I decide to wait a few turns for Rocketry to come in before delivering the final blow to Japan. Research is raised to 80% and Rocketry is due in 3 turns. I switch several cities to wealth and sell Zulu gems in order to sustain the higher research rate.

(IBT) - Zulu bombard Shimoseki and attack it with cavalry, nearly capturing the city. Seattle switches to a palace in anticipation of the Apollo project, and several cities completing military projects switch to mass transit systems to reduce the pollution problem.

(1) Bombing Osaka kills 3 population and destroys the barracks, cathedral, and bank. Our troops hold their positions and the artillery stack moves into the influence of Kyoto.

(IBT) - Many Indian and Aztec troops advance on Japan, and the Aztecs capture Eridu. Most remaining cities in the south switch to mass transit systems or other infrastructure after completing current military.

(2) Pound Osaka with bombers again, destroying more improvements and population. Move all available tanks to barracks cities for upgrade between turns, and rush a settler on the Japanese continent.

(IBT) - Aztecs and Iroquois sign MPP. We learn Rocketry and I upgrade as many tanks to modern armor as we can afford. Decline the UN vote.

1816 AD (3) Sell Radio to Zulu for WM + 224gpt + 905g and sign a ROP with Azteca.

Bombers pound Osaka once more, and modern armor capture it with no loss.
Bombers attack Nagoya, and tanks out of Kyoto take the city at no cost.
Rails are built up to Osaka with available workers, and Shimoseki is captured giving border access to Edo.
The artillery stack rides the rails out of Kyoto and blasts Edo into rubble which is captured at a cost of 2 tanks.
Modern armor depart from Edo to capture both Ise and Ellipi without loss.
The capture of Ise gives armor access to Satsuma, and the city is captured along with Magellan's Voyage at a cost of 1 armor.
I use a settler to found Richmond and give border access to Japan's final city of Yokohama.

However, the defenders of Yokohama are stubborn and take 2 modern armor out, so the city stands with 1 longbowman defending and no more armor left to attack. There are a some cavalry which could attack the city, but the Iroquois are blocking a key rail junction so that the cavalry can't quite reach Yokohama. We have no deals the the Iroquois, so I declare war on them and wipe out their force of 3 longbowmen and 1 rifleman, and use the rail juction to capture Yokohama, destroying Japan.

(IBT) - The Iroquois and Egypt sign an embargo against us .

(4) Clean up some pollution, and start building solar plants as prebuilds for spaceship parts.

(5) Resistance ends in most of the captured cities. Renew a gems deal with the Aztecs.

(6) Pollution hits in 3 places at once including on a mountain. Start switching cities to wealth as they complete Mass transits in order to speed up the tech rate.

(7) Space Flight is due in 1 turn as more pollution hits. The Zulu move a stack of cavalry into our territory on the other continent.

(8) Space Flight comes in, and Seattle switches to the Apollo mission. Sattelites is due in 4 turns. We start a few tactical nukes, perhaps as prebulds for more parts.

(IBT) - The Zulu declare war on us! The war voids about 300gpt in deals they were paying us, and they use their ROP to attack an interior city (but fail). We complete the Apollo mission.

(9) We make peace with the Iroquois and trade them Scientific Method for 4gpt + 40g. Because of all the income lost from the Zulu, Sattelites will take an extra turn as science spending is reduced. Patton rushes the SS Engine, and 5 more parts are started in other cities.

Trade India dyes for alliance against the Zulu.
Trade Aztecs spices for alliance against the Zulu.

We obliterate 7 Zulu cavalry and a rifleman in our territory with modern armor, sink an ironclad with a destroyer, then advance on their only city on the other continent.

(IBT) - Our battleship defends against a Zulu submarine, and our destroyer sinks another ironclad in defense. We complete the Space ship parts: Cockpit, Docking Bay, Stasis Chamber, and Engines.

1830 AD (10) Sell Radio to India for silks + WM + 3gpt.

The Save

Science is currently set to finish Sattelites in 2 turns at a loss, but can be changed to 3 turns at a substatial profit. I haven't pursued the Zulu to their island stronghold, but there are 4 transports on the way to the India/Aztec continent if you want to press another war. There are 4 required techs left for the spaceship, and it shouldn't take more than 20 turns to launch from this point so you can also just sit back and let the AI navys slug it out on the high seas.

 

[Gengis Khan]

Got it. Though I won't be able to play till tomarow, looks like we'll be taking out the world before we leave them towards the stars.

 

[TedJackson]

Nice work Zwingli

I think the Zulu might be pissed because we had an MA vs Japan and we took the last Japanese city, breaking the MA

Not that it matters in the slightest


Ted

 

[TedJackson]

How's the SS coming along Ghenghis?


Ted

 

[Gengis Khan]

Sorry for the delay guys, I’ve been insanely busy with school & work. And here it is………….

Pre-turn: Everything looks good.

1- Load up transports. Start sending carriers & battleships towards zulu also. Attack the Zulu city on our 2nd continent. Raze Antioch & Gengis’s marvelous MA produces a leader, send Washington back to the mainland in a transport.

IT- Satalites now known. Start on Superconductor due in 6(could get it in 4 but we need some gold in the bank).
Seattle: >SS Thruster

2- Workers irrigate new territory. Troops approach Zululand.

IT- Complete SS Exterior Casing. Start on ICBM(why not??)

3- Same old, unload 1 transport full of MI onto their soil waiting for the others & to “test the water”.

IT- Around 3 MIs killed but they attack with about 10 tanks & then stop, this is looking like it’ll be too easy.

4- Land more transports on Zululand.

IT- 0 attacks on our newly landed troops.

5- Wipe out 5 Zulu transports, 7 iron clads & a couple obsolete ships. Capture Intombe, I’m gonna keep this city, but raze the rest of the continent to avoid domination. About 6 ironclads are destroyed in harbor. Washington rushes an ICBM(nothing else to rush).

IT- Pi-Ram: ICBM>Mass transit

6- Sink Ironclad & battleship. Finish pillaging they’re saltpepper & rubber with bombers. I also sell Gandhi spices for 20gpt & 255g.

IT- Monty still want our dyes & incense but only has 40gpt to kick for them. OK that works for me. Our MIs fend off tank attacks, a battleship sinks to subs & another fends off its attack. I order up a batch of Nuc Subs to combat the hidden menace.
Seattle: SS thrusters>wealth

7- Pillage improvements, more transports on the way to Zululand. Attempt to put spies into India & Aztecs, both are killed.

IT- Egypt & India sign MA against Shaka, start noticing longbows appearing out of cities. Hard to win a war without rubber or saltpepper.
Hiawatha wants a MPP. HA!! I politely decline.
Learn Superconductor. Start on Nuc Power due in 5.

8- Atl starts on Fuel Cells, Washington on Life Support. Bomb Zululand into a crater, start marching some stacks towards Unaldi & Zimbabwe.

IT-

9- take out a couple misc troops.

IT- A zulu sub takes out our Nuc sub with nuke. Doh!! We kill a couple tanks attacking Intombe.
Gandhi pops up & wants our iron, he offers 25gpt. We finally settle on a price of 95gpt & 305g for iron & silks. That’ll teach him to bargain with an American!!

10- Kill a bunch of infantry & tanks at Zimbabwe & a couple in Unaldi. Not much else transports on the way to pick up more troops.

I’d hurry an airport in Intombe after the barracks.
Nuclear power in 3.
Fuel cells in 1, Life Support in 3.

Looks like the spaceship will blast of on the next set of turns.
