Final Voyage of L'Invincible Armada - Spanish Emperor Attempt III

Will they fight their way out?? If they don’t then all I need to kill is 132 Infantry

Form another tank army from the leader. This is the plan-

Ok, southern India (old Incan land) is very undeveloped. Lot of cities without culture which will allow me to take advantage. In the north there are a few size 1 cities been formed and a lot of Indian colonies, these will be first to go. Take out the colonies in the north and implement a holding action until the forces in the south can take care of the Incan land, with those removed I’ll have the Indians surrounded. Then I can just squeeze them. I say holding action in the north but with the amount of bombers I have and absolutely no fighter support for the Indians, I’ll take out any unit I see and if the opportunity arrises for me to walk into a city that’s just fine.

Load 53 tanks and 1 unfilled Army into the boats and send them across.

Upgrade another 12 Infantry to Mech Inf.

Will the Indians declare war?? Lets find out

IBT- No.

1840AD
Land 29 tanks and 1 army. Began moving my forces to their areas’s. The Indian Army is surrounded in the pocket in the north. I have 13 tank armies in the north to destroy the Indian colonies, I have 73 tanks, 73 artillery and 27 Cruise Missiles in the south ready to attack with more tanks arriving each turn. To ensure that the Indian colonies receive no help from their main land I have a force of 114 bombers, 9 Jet Fighters and 2 Fighters to level everything within range.

1842AD
Land another 24 tanks.

I’m tired of waiting, declare war on India. I’m not gonna attack though, lets see what they do first.

IBT- India launches 3 Cavalry at Eretica, but fail miserably. They also move Infantry towards the city but, guess what? No huge stack is visible.

Time to open up a can of whoop on them.

1844AD
Take out 9 colonies and raze New Orleans, New Madras, New Bangalore, New Punjab, New Karachi, and New Lahore to clear the north of India’s presence…. Well apart from the Infantry trapped.

Steal India’s plans. Costing all my money but hell, what am I gonna use it on? Trade with the barbarians??

With the north clensed, I begin the tedious clean up of the south. New Chittagong and New Jaipur are the first to go. Then New Madras (hey……. Wait a minute???)

New Hyderabad, Sapporo, Besacon, Nara, Vilcas, Arequipa are razed with little resistance. There can be little defence against over 100 tanks.

Capture the old Incan city of Cuzon, and gain control of an old relic, the Oracle and capture the Hanging Gardens as well, the remains of a once powerful Civilization.

Restart the carnage by razing Vitcos, Hakodate, Vilcabamba. I reach Tiwanaku and have to plow through 5 Infantry, it is only once I enter the city do I know why. The city is home to the Pyramids!

Raze Huaras.

Over the past few years and the countless cities I’ve razed, I’ve amassed over 100 slave workers. Quite useful if you want to build a rail link to your target :) Build a rail road to New Bombay and raze the city. Decide to keep Pune so that I can get to other cities.

I’ve been playing this turn for the past 44 minutes and I’ve still not got to my bombers yet

Raze the city of Tamboccocha. I’m just going to keep going till I either run out of targets (not likely) or run out of tanks.(30 left)

Build a road to Nasca and raze the city. Capture Huamanga to allow me to get to Ganges,

Knowing what units the Indians have due to me stealing their plans, I’m able to bring in my Mech Inf, razing Corihuayrachina.

Raze New Kolhapur.

Do some cleaning up, wiping out colonies, to completely remove any Indian influence in the southern part of the continent.

Objective 2 complete, now for the bombing campaign.

Bombers are awecosome. Completely destroy the defenders of Bengal, Hyderabad and Lahore, allowing me to walk in. Decide to keep Bengal due to its proximity to Delphi. Which I ultimately capture due to the just sheer number of bombers I have in under my command. Just call me “Bomber Harris”

Who needs the city? Raze Delphi and also Dacca.

Move 3 Mech Inf into Eretria to defend against the Infantry stacked there. Destroy Oka to end the turn :goodjob:

In one turn I’ve killed over 60 Infantry. Gotta love it when you’ve got a superiority in tanks

Land a Cavalry next to New Calcutta, it’s an island city with only 1 defender. I’ll get it next turn.

IBT- The Indians move troops AWAY from Eretria. Silly AI.

1846AD
No new attacks are planned for this turn in the south. I need to gather my forces together after the battles in the south.

In the battle for Southern India I lost around 20 – 30 tanks. I can only say this now as I’ve gathered all my tanks together in one place to heal. Not bad for half an empire.

Bombard Madras and raze the city.

Walk into Kolhapur and Calcutta and raze the cities/

Use Cruise Missiles to take care of the last defenders of the Indian capital and raze Bombay. Indus also falls.

Move tanks towards Juli and Chittagong.

IBT- Indians steal some slaves, no big deal

1848AD
Raze Juli, Chuito, Jaipur, Punjab, New Delhi and Chittagong using a combination of bombers and cruise missiles. Finally, using the last of my Cruise Missiles I’m able to capture and raze the city of Bangalore. The Indians are no longer on either continent. They now occupy a single island near Lugo, Izumo.

A quick check shows that there are 2 Pikes and 1 Inf in the city. For just sheer :lol: value, a check of the military advisor shows that India still over 100 Infantry.

IBT- OOPS, Indians capture Namp’o

1850AD
Recapture Namp’o but decide just to raze it.

Land 2 tank armies on Izumo. No half measures. Also move down my entire bomber force, just to make sure.

IBT- Loose more unprotected workers. Who cares?

A barbarian warrior attacks my TOW and WINS!!!!!! :shock:

Well, that’s it kids. Story is over. Spain rules triumphant, third time lucky indeed :)Thanks to all who stuck with the story throughout, hope you’s all enjoyed it

See ya! :rockon:

Steviejay
 
hehe say "Brest" again. Great story. Does any special vid play when you achieve conquest, like in Civ 2 where the leaders are guillotined?

EDIT: I just noticed the Chinese: were they eliminated early like the sumerians and hittites?
 
Congrats to stevie and the Spaniards! :D And it centered on Rik's Place in your final screen. :lol:

Been reading your stories since the beginning, just never felt inclined to post--until now.

Those two links in your last post on the 9th page (for me anyway) aren't working though...they're right below the picture of the Koreans being destroyed.

I hope you decide to do another story, not necessarily with Spain, but something, at least.
 
Spain finally defeated the world. Great job Stevie. :)
 
Oops, Links on page 9 fixed.

Thanks to all. It was fun to play and even more fun to win :)

The Chinese were the first nation I met, they were also the first to go :hammer:

Dunno when I'll do a new story, might play about with a few varients on my own first.

Unfortunately there was no special flash video. The only time I've seen a flash was with a Space Victory.
 
Congrats. I think you won this with your rapid and excellent campaign against the Chinese right in the early stages of the game. From that point on you were in a position of strength that carried you through to your well deserved victory.
 
Oh yes, now I remember the chinese... it seems so long ago... lol
