Expansive Dreams

[grandad1982]

Ok got the save and will put the AIs out of their pointless lives!

Expand! Win! Horray!

Will play tonight or tomorrow.

@ sturick
Its a shame you can't take a spot in the next SG. I hope you'll lurk it and coment if you see fit!

Victory!

Since I this is the last report I'm not going to write a normal report as I’m sure the list of builds etc would be pretty boring to read! Cannon, Rifle, Rifle, Buddhist Missionary, Rifle......

So here's the run down.

PFT

I change most of the Sci to Merc to pay for our expansion and some upgrades.

Speaking of expansion I found two cities and bring us closer to the Dom limit.

Spoiler :

I lost the screen of the c2* city.


1 & 2

I spread Bud, pump troops and greedily eye up Mao's land.


3

We get some free gold. Nice.

Spoiler :

Dam comes out of revolt. If only we had a GProth to Shrine the Christian religion.


4

I move the Majority of our SoD (and what a SoD it is) towards my designated strike point SE of Shanghai.


5

DoW on Mao.

Shaka: "Become my Vassal."

Mao: "When Hell Freezes over!!"

Shaka: "Have you seen the last weather report? It says your arse is grass and I'm going to smoke it!"

Mao: "Stop mixing you metaphors."

Shaka: "Your mumma mixes metaphors."

Mao: "?"

Shaka: "Balls. just die!"

Spoiler :

6

Shanghai falls for no losses!

Spoiler :

A GG is born so I send him to IF as an instructor.


7

I send most of the SoD form Shang towards Guangzhou (I won't be writing that in full again!).


8

We pop a GArt so I fire of a GAge. I revolt to Vass/Merc/Theo. I assign most of the specs from Merch as Mercs or Eng.


9

Nothing to see here. Move along please.


10

Nationalism in. I select RR as it would give the biggest production boost if we ever got there.


11


Sury converts to Hinduism. The filthy scum.

We attack Guang. We lose 2 cannons at over 70% and 90%. Boo!

Spoiler :

Before

After

This convinces Mao that our previous request was more reasonable than he expected.

Mao: "Please stop doing that to me."

Shaka: "It does look pretty sore..."

Mao: "Oh alright then. I'll be you Vassal but just pass me that Savlon first."

Shaka: "Excellent [as he passes a cunningly disguised bottle of chilli]"

Spoiler :

I don't even finsh my turn properly and just hit enter!


12

Victory is ours!

Spoiler :

Some victory screens and our score (for narri and his poor internet the score was 185478 in 1480).

Spoiler :

Heres what won it for us IMO. Production.

And one final look at our empire.

Spoiler :

Great game guys! That was an excelent return to SGs for me so thank you all for taking part and I hope you (and any lurkers) enjoyed yourselves as much as I did. Cheers!

I look forward to playing with you again (in A Spiritiual Odyssy for some of you).

So all thats left is the last saves.

 

[sturick]

Well done Grandad and team!
This makes me 4-0 in SGs now!



I think that this map could have used another aggresive AI or two to make it challenging.
When the biggest warmonger you have going against you is a creepy alien then you have the perfect recipe for a steamroll.

And that is exactly what we did!

Looking forward to lurking your Spiritual Odyssey!

 

[cripp7]

I agree, Great game guys! It was fun as always!

 

[Der Graf]

It was fun as always!

It was fun indeed. Maybe I should sometimes try being Shaka instead of fighting him

DoW on Mao.

Shaka: "Become my Vassal."

Mao: "When Hell Freezes over!!"

Shaka: "Have you seen the last weather report? It says your arse is grass and I'm going to smoke it!"

Mao: "?"

Thanks Der Graf. It always good to know that people are lurking and enjoying the game too!

Hope you'll enjoy the next game ( A Spiritual Odyssy).

 

[Der Graf]

Thanks Der Graf. It always good to know that people are lurking and enjoying the game too!

Honour to whom honour is due

Hope you'll enjoy the next game ( A Spiritual Odyssy).

I've discovered it ten seconds ago, will start further lurking immediately

 

[pigswill]

Well played chaps.

You beat my date very comfortably.

Maybe I should have wiped out India after Korea instead of settling the north east.

Hi. Finally (if temporarily) back on line. I have to agree with sturick on this one. One incomplete set in over a week is just to slow.

ENGAGE BASTARD MODE
@Charles Li. Please try to keep us updated about what you are doing. I know RL can be an arse but its only polite to let you team mates know what they should be doing.

@All (inc. myself) if you stop the game to ask for advice before recomencing then POST THE SAVE! This way we can carry on from where you left off.
Finally if you post a got it and haven't played within 72 hours of this (this figure may be revised DOWNWARDS) the the next player on the roster should try to take the save.

Remember that it is only good manners to keep you team mates informed as to what you are doing.

DISENGAGE BASTARD MODE

Iron in the military city.... I'm in love!

Here to say NICE GAME DUDES!

Also, sorry about that, but mom pulled the plug for the summer an dI only just recently recovered it.
