FS1-Assimilation! (Noble?)

[S.ilver]

I don't think so. Just like you can build chariots without Animal Husbandry IF you capture a pasture with horses, you can get these wonders without having their prereq techs. Besides, I mousedover the spiral in Dehli, and it does seem to be giving us a nice chunk of cash.

 

[Liquidated]

preflight... got note pad open on the other moniter, how the heck I ever lived with only one monitor, I'll never know.

ooo scored biology... nice catch man. that's out of our beaten war path and teh +1 food per farm is nice.

looking over the techs I drool over railroad but honor silvers idea about artillery.

start out by some good old fashion micro managing.. not like anyone in their right mind would waste the time to do this but well this is what liq is all about; Washing the blood off the drivway and trimming the lawn.

First take work off a coastal square in cologne and make it a engineer spec... west point gains a turn.

rush the forge in calcutta for the last of our cash.

move off the towns in timbuk to work the loafs of food we get from fishes and rice.... delays forge construction but population is more important to feed the draft monster. make sure timbuk has a grainery lol. 25 food now and 12 used... expect population to yo yo.

unlink the workers and go zooming into ex-india to trim the lawns.
notice all the unnamed cav... they are in need of some TLC.

I move the missonary from bombay over to coventry.

look in awe at the waves of infantry approaching.

more tweaking the cities.

lets see diplo...

asoka wants peace...

[1]1872 AD
a cannon sneaks out of madrid to attack bopeep and the cats... it retreats. oh we need physics for artillery... railroad wins!!!!

berlins up and I see we can do pentagon..... ok well eff that cologne is getting on that!!!!!!!!

forge finishes in calcutta and start on a factory... 42 turns... after making an engineer spec. Factory is for the 2 eng specs btw.


Bopeep and his herd of cats move over to where that cannon was... watch your step , don;t trip on the cannon pieces guys.

Cologne moves to a factory in 8 and aims for pentagon.

notice those fishing nets were never repaired so set berlin on it.

timbuktu is now size 7 and due to grow in one rofl

oh hell lumber yards, eff yeah!

get jud going in coventry.

[2] 1874 AD
a gren eats a few workers... oh well.

bombay-> market.

berlin fishing boat -> factory.

Rockin rick jumps the gun and charges the gren before promoting,, wins so gran combat 1 and medic... and run off to coventry to help heal. what a cav that rick is.

notice the ratio the cav have so move them next to the infantry lol

troops moving up..

[4]1878 AD
oooo no more grens to take out the poor workers.

washingon asks to trade silver for ivory, sure. izzy is next, not washington.

djinn gets an infantry, builds a factory.

Harlem takes the honors and lowers medras to 0

todd is warming up at the plate.

Asoka wets his pants.

[5]1880 AD
nada happens in between

Hamburg finishes his infantry start on factory.

Saving timbuk from the draft for a bit so long as population increases 1 per turn.

Ok Time's up for madras..

Todd steps up and then there were 2 rifle men.

gonna suicide the new cats..
Garfield steps up promotes barrage and sucks.
Krazi tries the same... and doesn;t scratch the lead rifle.. so here goes the valuable units!!

there goes bopeep who had odds going for him and died... how sheepish.

mean gene is the cav with the mostest so he comes in and easily handles the situation... don;t piss off gene man, he and bopeep were buds.

Rodney takes out the gren to revenge the workers that gren's buds killed. a short lived feud if there ever was one.

gregory the cav is new, lets see how he does... ok flawless. he promotes to 'Greg the Badass'

yeesh doc martin went for the last gren and took a beating, 9/10 exp p0 he needs medic 2 before promoting to panzer.

took a screen of madras's loot haul but never took.. p0.

Madras is ours

.. and what a kick ass town this will be... what it lacks in wonders it makes up in raw production potential... need the worker army to come and clear out all those windmills and cottages.

cleanup!!!

Bob is in true form as he goes after the rifleman guarding the cornfields south of madras and runs!!! man bob sure can run. he promotes to well you'll see. what a *****. he runs to madras after to chat with doc martin.

gooseneck the cav cleans up bob's leftovers.

Carl the cav wipes out the gren guarding the silk and chat with bob.

ooooo look what stan see's....

note the 21 %... izzy was chewing on that

the cats roll on.

[6]1882 AD
Railroad comes in... YAY...... go combustion for now and since india has a tiny itty bitty city on an island I'll make peace after extorting techs..

the workers go CRAZY with railing to the front.

barb town infantry -> factory.


coventry is online... make a theatre.

move the wounded into madras and keep quincy jones there to help em heal.

timbuk is needing two turns to grow so

WE WANT YOU!

jake pops up and fortifies in timbuk. back to growth in 1!

go 0% science for a turn. for 581 gold.

[7]1884 AD
bangalore pops a culture. and nothing changes... oh man.

moving moving moving.

[8]1886 AD
Bangalore finishes theatre and starts a grainery.

OVERTIME

[11]1892 AD
Asoka comes looking for peace... I tell him in a few years.

Frank finishes forge goes factory.

Delhi finishes jud temple -> synagoge for the culture.

Cologne is on pentagon in 30, no 26.

I wake up and realize railroads on mines = +1 hammer, so pull works enmass to cologne.



[12]1894 AD combustion comes in. I'll try and extort physics from asoka.

I REMEMBER the great engineers that have been hanging around for 1000 years...

Big man todd just walks into lashore and kills the lead rifle. one left do not feel like sacrificing our upstanding cav (well not that ***** bob.)

go 0 % science to beef up the bank account.

[13]1896 AD

Berlin builds factory and goes for a coal plant.

gain 15 turns on conventrys pentagon with 7 left and let it finish naturally saving the other engineer.

Lashore gets owned by big man cecil

Dial up asoka...
only tech for peace he'd give was devine right =/ so go for physics.

the game goes screwy on me

so save it and....


I think hard what wonder do we want more than pentagon and think *none* seeing as what we don;t build ourself we can just take..... so load up and use that last great eng.

[14] 1898 AD

izzy comes asking us to change to bud... screw her.

madras works on theatre in 2 and queue up a bunch of crap for my master plan.

rush the Factory in calcutta.... change peeps to engineers next turn.



-----------------------

India was Evicted..he has an island town far away he can rot in. Sad thing is he has more points than izzy still

I moved the cav over to bangalore to help stifle revolt.

madras has corn for food is next to a river and SIX hills along with being built on a plains hill. that's 6 hills to colognes 5. now it's not a port but that's fine for an infantry factory. slap ironworks and redcross on madras and look at the infantry popping out there all with mass exp and medic 1. uproot all the goofy cottages and slather water wheels every space you can with enough farms to let population get high enough to work all those hills and rivers.


need to tap oil and rail road cologne's mines not to mention main paths.

I managed to lose a few workers baiting out asokas grens but all good. might want to build a few more workers =/

lost um 4? (rick stan bopeep and...?) cav and 3 cats for 3 crap towns pressing ours culturally. actaully madras isn;t anything close to crap, that place is a monster like cologne once we remove all the junk asoka built.

be a good idea to build a bunch of workers just for madras and really clean that place up.

Roll over izzy next but we can use about 20 turns to consolidate what we have and get some artillery and tanks going before pissing off a heavy like washington. I'd personally rather skip artillery and go bombers.

Tanks would help as well and they are not too far away...

Sorry about the 4 turns over but had to wipe that bastard out and secure pentagon.

now you get to clean up!!!! izzy is a serious joke, see no reason why we cannot just walk in now to be honest. she might have a nice home town seeing as she got the royal SHAFT on start locations like victoria in sullas walkthrough had all those fish.

Imo push panzers, they are really nice UU's for when we roll over washington and cannon are not the worst when we can promote barrage panzers..

need physics electricity and industrialization for panzers though so whichever.



the save compresses to 505 kb. lolol this is with rar... gonna try 7zip

no deal

ok well, fanatics has an upload up to 3 mb so we golden.

oh man Liq forgot to perma draft in timbuk... bad liq bad. ok well you can double dip a bit silver seeing as it has too much population.

[S.ilver]

lol Liq. Will try. I can probably get to it in about 8 or 9 hours, then we'll throw it to ucel for the hard part (i.e. Washington). Izzy is going to be the cakewalk compared to all the warring we've been doing up till now. I had no idea she was at war with Asoka, I assume her pikemen stack didn't make it then? All the less work I have to do

12 hours............

must get panzers...

[S.ilver]

Yeah. Sorry. Got delayed. ucel might have time to take it. If he does, and you don't hear anything more from me, feel free to skip over me this turn.

hehe booo.

all this real life crap is cutting into our civ time.. I got wolloped last week and just when izzy is begging to be put to sleep.... pulls hair out.

[ucel]

Got it, will play now

 

[ucel]

Precheck: Izzy should be easy like the sunday morning
But...

Banga: 8xCav
Zhou: 1xCav
Lahore 4xCat, 3xInf
Madras: 1xInf, 2xCav
Delhi: 2xInf

We and what army?

Revolted to Theo and Free Market

Go!

1) 1900

Bought some factories
Start contructing Rail connection from the core of our empire to the future front line.
Start moving troops

2) 1902
Hamburg: Drydock: we beed some good ships!
Other cities: Barracks or Cav
We got Great Eng from Munich!
Upgraded Cats to Cannons and we have no more money

3) 1904
...

4) 1906
Got Physics, 80% Sci gives us Electricity in 6 instead of 5, so moved to 0 for 1 turn (we'll get 676, should be enough for about 10 turns)
Moving GE to Madras, he'll build FP there.

5) 1908
Can't start FP in Madras. WTH? I'll try in Coventry. Rail connection with the front ready, will connect rest of the cities

6) 1910
This time was OK, made FP in Coventry.

7) 1912
Jumped from +26 to +62. Was good

8) 1914
Izzy, d'ya remember me b*tch?

Now it's time for your doom!!!

9) 1916

I screwed. Izzy destroyed our whole stack which should take Salamanca this turn from the hill nearby (7 Cavs is dead). We were defeated by Cats, Spears and Longbows! They should not be forgotten!

10) 1918
Industrialism due 5
You'll pay for this stac Izzy, in two yeras Seville will be ours!
No, that's the news: Washington doesn't have oil!!! He wanted some of our


11) 1920

Yeah! Sevilla taken, 255g plundered.
Burn Salamanca to the ground. Avenge our guys!!!

Here is the save.

Sorry for no-pic mode, but I'm a little tired today .

 

[S.ilver]

Liq, you want me to grab it, or do you want it?

EDIT: Oh yeah. You probably couldn't make the FP in Madras because it didn't have a courthouse.

raids on now if my vid card doesn;t crash me... think my other dual chanel dimm slot is bad... next crash gonna swap slots and lose dualchanalality.

if you can get it in next 4 hours go for it guy, I have another sg to play though as well today so looking at a 3am pst start on this.

Turn (0): Timbuktu has had some draft respite and is now at size 10. Time to put up the WE WANT YOU! posters.

Let's take stock of the cavalry that we still have. I didn't name them, so I wouldn't know who's missing.

This is why I use unamed cavalry on my suicide missions .

Theo and Military Tradition to Caesar for Democracy. I know, it's a bad trade, but everyone else fears us becoming too advanced, and I want emancipation to be rid of this unhappiness bonus.

Revolt immediately to enmanicpation. Oh well. If I need troops, the draft button is still handy.

Turn (1): Uh... let's see... Somewhere, our boats must've autopillaged some fishing boats. Emancipation is on, and draft machine is getting us more troops.

Evidently we have spices coming from somewhere within our new empire. So no need to continue trading for it with Alex. Instead, I take his gold for the dyes . Mmm... gold...

I do the same for HC, and get some extra gold out of him for less resources .

Same deal with Mao and JC. Retain some stuff and get more cash. Yay.

I deal with some of Isabella's units that showed up during the inturn next to Seville. Arnold levels up (and does collateral) and Jake the Infantry gets some experience. Isabella will be good training grounds for fresh cannons to not get killed.

The Assualt of Salamanca

I lose Lucy the Infantry, but the city falls (guns vs. arrows? C'mon!).

Turn (2): I sink one of Isabella's wretched caravals... with a destroyer no doubt.

Turn (3): Whoops. I had a working mining Banglore, but I wasn't watching him. Enemy horse archer killed him. Horse archer then got maimed by cavalry .

Bigass stack continues towards Madrid. There is a city before there, but I'll leave it to the east coast task force.

Turn (4): Monty wants us to stop trading with Washington. Washington is out next target, but for now, he's more profitable of a trading partner than pathetic Monty. Get lost Monty.

Industrialization is done! Time to roll out the Panzers! I choose to work on Medecine next. Unhealthiness is getting to us, and I want Red Cross up and running to get Madras online. Notice Banglore has good production potential too.

More plodding...

Turn (5): Colonge can make 2 turn Panzers (drools)...

Want to sneak attack me Monty? Gonna have to get past this blockade first. Have fun getting out after you land.

Alexander Graham Bell born in Colonge. Did we want any wonders in the future? Colonge should be able to pump them out with Bell's help.

Turn (6): Thought so...

(Damn, what happened to my screenshot of Monty delcaring war?)

I'm sorry, was that your army?

I'm sorry, was that your fleet?

Destroyer group is now en route to the Aztec continent. We'll teach those fools to mess with us.

I manage to bloody up a bunch of units taking Madrid. I would like to raze it, but it looks so sweet. I keep it. I think I can throw enough units at it...

Turn (7): Cavalry are getting really bad at keeping this up. Infantry will be need more en masse... wait. Panzers are good too! First Panzer rolls off the assembly line at Colonge.

Mene Gene goes down on the assualt on Barcelona. It's still not ours. Rodney revenges his death by slaughtering some musketmen.

Turn (8): Freak Isabella reinforced Barcelona! Arg. Doesn't matter. You're going down. Rodney is really mad now, and he smashes a musketman against the odds. Barcelona is ours!

Nothing will stop our might!

Turn (9): Spain really needs to die. Like now... The culture pressure is bad. Revolt chance fairly high. On the side, it seems that HC finished off our loose ends. This is good.

Panzers are starting to get up there. I think I will take overtime and use them to finish Spain.

Turn (10): Moving to the front... Time for Overtime...

 

[S.ilver]

OVERTIME

Turn (11): Nice attempt at a counter Izzy.

Mao wants Medicine for free. Take a hike Mao.

Maybe I'll only need two turns to do this. Bigass stack is approaching Corduba.

Bob the ***** goes in and smashes up the place. Gooseneck right behind him for the kill! Cordoba is ours!

Turn (12): Stupid Izzy pillaged the oil when I wasn't looking! It was the oil near Washington though, so it makes me a bit less uneasy.

These barrage promotions will go a long way in this last fight.

I thought the pure volume of units would do me in but...

Bye-bye Spain.


Strategic overview. Basically, we need to build up these rotten little cities! Military is somewhat overstretched, but Panzers are rolling off the assembly line like no tomorrow, and we can crush ANYONE with that. I suggest Washington.

If we want, we can send raiding parties to the Aztecs and basically go around shredding terrain. I don't want to invest in holding land there yet though. Especially since it seems to be two small continents.

I started mass mining on Madras, you may want to do the same to Banglore Liq. If it can get more culture, it can work the entire river section, floodplains and all. And it has a good 5 hills to make Panzers for our mighty army!

[S.ilver]

Oh yes, and we need to convert our cities to Judaism so they get the benefit of our religion civic. If we're going to attack Washington next, we might as well flood him too.

Also, if we can manage (AKA drag stupid Washington into a war so he can't do it) we should get Three Gorges, then we'll see some skyrocketing production, especially since I've got a lot of cities working on Factories right now.

Washington has some colonies, which will be a pain to invade. We may just want to drive him off the continent and let the Taoists deal with him.
