Nice turnsets, n0xie, and damnit, you could roll dice once in a whil

You know, n0xie, if you're squimish, I can make some nice, G-rated dice for you.

Die 1:

Bunny = 1, Kitty = 2, Bambi = 3, Death and Pestilance = 4, Hampster = 5, Puppy = 6.

Die 2:

House = 1, Tree = 2, Flower = 3, Smiley-face sun = 4, VD = 5, Teletubby = 6

Would that make it easier for you, or is it still so tough you have to pass your job off to the next player?

omni_paul · Apr 21, 2006

Wow this is progressing quickly now

The size of our army in Spain is hella cool. I was really annoyed I didn't get to march it on Madrid.

GreyFox The Bully

Ok, so RNGod Commandth us to Get Something For Free (TM), I shall try to do that ASAP.

Let's knock on that old hag Vicky first.

** Knock Knock **

** Who's There? **

** Extort **

** Extort who? **

** Extort YOU!! **

:lol:

-

Hmm ... she doesn't bulge.

Let's try Nappie's door then ...

Poor guy has only 1 gpt to offer ... that will be an insult to the RNGod if I take it. Let's go knock at Vicky's door again, for the fun of it.

** Knock Knock **

** Who's There? **

** Extort **

** Extort who? **

** Extort YOU AGAIN!! **

:lol:

Hmm ... seems like I am not that good at pretending to be a bully. :lol:

You do realize, Vicky, this means war ... :eek:

Nah, got you. :lol:

Just kidding.

But you really do realize, vicky, that this means war later on :cooool:

I do realize, also, that tis means Izzy gets to survive this war with a 10 turns of fake peace. But not until I am finish raping her horses and riding her courtesans. :lol:

The War Rampants On

Since I failed miserably as bully, I shall continue the war effort, leave Isabella with one puny little city, and extorts whatever she has remaining for a 10 turns peace.

First off, our cities ...

Question: What's uop with all those frantic trees chopping? I can reluctantly agree on the chopping of trees outside the BFC, but some are withn the BFC!!! I immediately went worker-hunting and instead ask them to build us a lumbermill.

We are still in Decentralization??? :eek:

After-Turns Notes

Nationhood solves the main problem of unhappiness , except in Rome where there is no barracks. It is starting to built one though.

Here is the Spainish war-front:

Suggest razing the western spanish city (except perhaps Hun), and pillage the eastern cities, then get peace. Isabella did come begging for peace though:

But I rejected it since we have yet to capture Barcelona ...

At the home front, the barbie infestations is replaced with the vile Victorian infestations ....

These are the current civics we are in:

I think no need to revolt to police state, since the war with Spain would end soon enough.

The Save:

omni_paul · Apr 22, 2006

I started a lot of the chops as I figured we needed quick production boost for the war, and our health kicks ass in all cities.

n0xie must have continued it. I guess that's one of those things that happens in SGs... different players play in different ways

Rex Tyrannus · Apr 22, 2006

I'd be awefully curious to see the F9 demographics. Guess I'll open the save later today and check. If troops aren't #1 I'm going to sh-t myself.

n0xie · Apr 22, 2006

Well I figured we got Cossacks, and I wanted more so I chopped everything in sight. Our Army of Cossacks should have no problem taking out every city on the continent. That's why I didn't bother MM and stuff like that. Just build an army of 50 Cossacks and end the game already

Rex Tyrannus · Apr 22, 2006

Opening the save, we've got a "troops" count of 899,000 with #2 in the mid 500s. I'm guessing that's Nappy.

I agree with Fox about razing the eastern cities (what's with that inland sea? It's salt water.) Then keeping Hun. Of course, vicky's culture will press hard against Hun, so maybe and RNGod-sanctioned Jihad against the English scourge is in order?

One thing I can't understand is the civ count. This world has Us, Formerly Asoka, the Late Caesar, Izzy, Vicky, and Nappy. I remember seeing notification that one civ was killed before we met him (Saladin?). Shouldn't there be another?

GreyFox · Apr 22, 2006

7 Civ on a standard map. What's wrong with that? There are games where I get only 6 on a standard map.

-

Rex Tyrannus · Apr 22, 2006

I thought it put 8 on a standard map unless you f with the settings. Though, I was wrong. 7 is the standard. For those of you not already doing so, please ignore the nincompoop.

Dantski · Apr 23, 2006

This is a got it 23 hours later

GreyFox · Apr 23, 2006

More like 30hrs :crazyeye:

... but nobody says anything (May the RNGod smiles on you), go ahead and play dantski!

--

omni_paul · Apr 24, 2006

May he smile on you indeed.

(thinly veiled bumpage)

Dantski · Apr 24, 2006

Ahh its taking forever to play these turns since alt tabbing to write notes in my notepad takes so long.

If no-one minds, I'll only play 5 turns.

GreyFox · Apr 24, 2006

Up to rex, I guess. But, strange, 1.61 should've made alt-tabbing faster (at least it is for me).

--

Dantski · Apr 24, 2006

The Reign of Dantski and Tardy starts...

Turn 0

A little MM, war weariness + emancipation penalty will hurt us soon (+12 together)

Turn 1

Constitution --> Democracy

Immediately war weariness increases by 3 making a number of cities unhappy. Ill grab Hun, do a little pillaging next turn and agree to peace.

Cossack defeats Longbow (over Spains Iron)

Mighty IPM defeats Catapult
Cossack defeats Catapult

And with that Hun is taken

Turn 2

Pike Defeats a Cossack IBT. No big loss.

After some pillaging, I take the peace terms offered by Izzy.

So with gold, map and Divine Right for free, I reckon thats another task completed in 1824

Time for the dice of prophecy.

4+3 = spread any religion to 3 cities

So it seems he wants more minions to worship him. Is that because he is unsatisfied with us?

I renegotiate some deals with Nappy + add some more.

Turn 3

Vicky offers us this deal

I want to deny her Military techs for as long as possible so I decline. Plus well need the money to upgrade our mostly Medieval army.

Almost all of the conquered Spanish land is now in English borders. The areas only have a 10% English population at most but it will reduce Hun to size 1 and badly restrict Madrids growth if not dealt with.

Turn 4

Since Hun will be starving every turn until we can get enough culture there, I suggest stacking it with artists.

I figure we can have 2 stacks assault the final 3 Spanish cities. I imagine a gaggle of spotty schoolboys could take it at the moment but 2 stacks is quicker than 1.

Also by taking Hun we now control 6 holy shrines! Obviously we need the full set (we have a spare Prophet too!) :lol:

Turn 5

Nappys golden age ends.

I also prematurely end my turn without making ANY effort to do the RNGods wish. Wonder if thatll have any effect on the game. :mischief:

rex_tyranus said:
Edit: Oh, and excellent turns, n0xie. Next up might want a few cannons to go with the 112 Cossacks n0xie just built. 105% defense might take a while to crack with a few cats.

I think it will take exactly the same amount of turns as if it was 15% defense. Cats take down the defensive bonus 15% per shot. So if you have 7 cats, then you can reduce it to 0% in 1 turn. Cannons do 20% per turn (5 cannons) and artillery do 25% per turn (4 units). All of this assumes that they don't have the +10% barrage promotion.

omni_paul · Apr 24, 2006

rex is up in SO many SG's

GreyFox · Apr 24, 2006

Wow, Dantski, congratulations! You made a far better deal then I thought possible! :goodjob:

Okay, another peaceful assignment ... although I was hoping for a more war-like assignment so that we can deal with the English ...but I guess RNGod is telling us the time has yet to come ....

With so many holy cities under the RNGod-Minions control, I think its of no surprise, in hindsight of-course, for us to roll that assignment.

All hail the RNGod and His immense wisdom! :worship:
