preflight.. ok we are eggshell thin at the home front so gonna do a three stage bill of sale. saving each turn on account mass desktops into the first turn.
1. upgrade in key places.
2. build lots of cav short term as they can run over to where ever we need.
3. Bumrush assembly line for infantry.
see what we can get diplomatically....
4 gold per turn for one of our many cows to cesar... gtg
gift military tradition to washington get him to cautious, out of annoyed..
then follow it up with open borders..... that's a relief.
MM!!!
Gank commerce tile from gaul and get to pumping hammers... start on a gren to help defend it.
calcutta is 116 turns on forge and has 1 hammer... ok lets change that using generic specs for the hammah...
boom stag growth and 39 turns on forge... fear.
calcutta has two jud miss as well so moving them north to the warzone to convert the heathens.
upgrade our caverals to frigates then patrol the shores as a pair. Not wise to split them up. give the south one medic 1.
All other towns drop all and start building cav for the most part with a few excpetions like a frigate in cologne and a gren in gaul.
look at our civics and they are still messed up from that bug. still a turn from being able to change... change we will...
give Big Man todd the maceman laying about in bombay combat 10 and upgrade him to a gren. 18 exp unit with city attack 3 and grens get a bonus vs riflemen..... yum.
ok deep breath....
intermission: an elephant sallys out from Delhi and impales themselves on Ricky Martin the pikeman
[1]1805 AD JC adopts tao... lets see what that does.. well still pleased.
the pillagers veer south and catch a lone catapult sneaking up on us as well as see a third effing elephant tile.
Our cav takes the catapult out and move in his 2 buddies to guard him.. there's at least 3 elephants out there and though the cav take out one, if he bum rushes them, that's a dead cav.
Beat on delphi with the 100% hp cats... just to show them who their daddy is and start on that defensive bonus... down to 56% btw
keeping the slow units company... taking this easy.
[2] 1810 AD wow
2 cav I split off to the south to make sure nothing snuk up on the cats get hammered by an elephant and 2 grens, all 3 bad guys were killed but Joe and Schmoe are bleeding bad. promote schome to combat 1 and medic 1 as a two speed medic is a good idea then move them to Quincy, teh maceman medic2.
All cats healed 6 beat down delhi to 0% while the other two, High Roller and Big julius play themselves a game of dice.
down to 3 elephants for the bad guys and....... Bob Joe and jim, the pillaging fools clamp down on the 3rd elephant tile
have the stack of death going and he has one cat... risky ya liq is ashamed.
some of washingtons knights come around to watch.
time to change civics....
representaion since the upkeep is 6 gold lower and we have a ton of specs from our new cities. happiness is not an issue.
Nationhood to PUMP the infantrymen in silvers turn. are you ready for some footballl silver?????????
to keep it one turn of ana, can only pick one of the three remaining civics...
Caste system or slavery... hmm. go slavery to save some coin and give silver a panic switch, turning specs to engineers would be boffo but alas, not so with caste
Theo is tempting but berlin alone is averaging 6.5 commerce a turn PER trade. I can see 14 more gold just from three towns... am going for free trade.
free market it is!@!!!
revolting over to slavery and theo is not a bad idea later.
diplo!!!!
get 9 gold a turn from monty for one of our 2 elephants... win win. gift him printing press but that doesn;t get us open borders. drat.
[3]1815 AD OMG they killled JIM! those bastards!
well the AI fell for it, threw 3 elephants and 2 grenadires at us and managed to kill only jim...
delhi is down to 4 rifles 1 gravely wounded gren 1 cat and 2 longbows. all elephants are history yay!!!! safe to split off the cav now.
we are now at +12 gold a turn
rifling is done moved onto steam in 6. must get infantry for silver.
spot a galleon from india loaded with a settler and 2 riflemen one of calcutta... galley gets upgraded to a galleon and the frigates come around the horn.
Joe revenges his brother jim (RIP) and takes his grief out on a lone gren at the cav meeting spot.
[4]1820 AD India is starting to panic. a riflemen crosses the river from the north to attack Bruce and well bruce beats him down like a red headed step child.
Cologne builds a frigate named the Cola Kid and pounces on the troop ship, got 3 frigates now lets get a few more. 1 turn on university tho so lets finish that.
an indian gren is east of the cav but it's on a hill... bad news, I'll let him come to me.
[5]1825 AD CRASH.... mumble
[
3]1815 AD again.... taking 5 hours to load.... if this keeps crashing ...
[4]1820 AD again....
India is starting to panic. a riflemen crosses the river from the north to attack Bruce and well bruce beats him down like a red headed step child.
Cologne builds a frigate named the Cola Kid and pounces on the troop ship, got 3 frigates now lets get a few more. keep them in pairs and patrol teh coast. 1 turn on university tho so lets finish that.
an indian gren is east of the cav but it's on a hill... bad news, I'll let him come to me.
SAVING THE EFFING GAME
[5]1825 AD oh man bruce got owned by those grens.... first jim, then bruce.... aw gawd, war is hell!
Schmoe has blood in his eyes.... fear the pissed schmoe
Schome revenges both jim and bruce and in the passing away of that gren he scores a medic 2 promote next turn.
English were destroyed. wow. one less person pissed at us I guess!
asoka adopts emance... oh well too late for him.
[6]1830 AD First of the home guard pops up, a cav from hamburg, gonna send him to lets see... berlin as it's cental to the area we are concerned
berlin builds a gren, lets get another after that grocery.
Dickens helping hold the fort at bombay spots a gren on a hill across the river and in his haste attacks them and........ not only wins, takes not a scratch. What a lucky Dickins.
that gren came from delhi so 4 rifles a longbow and a catapult left, I"ll let him stew.
Bombay is out of revolt and working on a gren. only 2 unhappy at 11 population, that's keen!
[7]1835 AD hmmm a great artist is in delhi... hmm
ok I'll go for it.
0% defence? check
no crossed rivers? check
suicide cats are go!
Izzat the lowest exp cat goes first. Run iz RUN! izzat didn;t run, izzat died!
morris the cat promotes bombardment and.... died.. he was always too finiky anyway
Frisky is up next and follows in his fellow felines foot steps.. promotes bombardment and dies. 9 lievs my ass.
ok 0 for 3 but they all did damage to all but the big shot sharpshooter, we got Big Man Todd up, maceman turned bomb fancier, who can dismantle the top dog rifleman no problem... FLAWLESS.. his fans scream.
now that the big dog is gone suicide cats are coming back with renewed excitement... felix comes in and stinks up the joint. NEXT!
Harlem is big and bad and not afraid to die... he scoots on by after inflicting grevious wounds, that's one cool cat.
Arnold thinks if harlem can do it, he can too. and he does!!! next thing you know he's gonna run for governer.
Bob the cav steps up and runs like the B****h he is trailing blood to and from the fight.
Stan is the man and we are down to 2 rifles, a cat and a longbow both of which are crying for their mothers.
Carl is hot!.. erm wait,,, Carl is no jr.?... hmm no... he won!
Joe cav claims it's all just a flesh wound and steps up from Quincy's med shack to beat the long bow silly with his riding crop.
Jim is just hanging on by a thread but that's enough to flatten the last rifleman who were reduced to using water with their cornflakes.
last up is the Cat himself, Big julious. Cool is for cats incarnate looks up from his craps game with high roller and strolls on into Delhi for some CAt on Cat action tonight! he cleans up with 153 in winnings and finds a nice back alley for him and highroller to reconvine the important matter at hand.
WHAT IN TARNATIONS
I spot a flotilla from rome coming loaded up with all manner of nasties off frankfurt.
ok well screw this... revolting slavery and find out for some reason the civc changes never happened? hmm WTH.
Well go for universal sufferage AND slavery AND nationalism for the low low price of 1 turn of anarcy.
yup you can pay em, whip em or post big ass posters of some scary looking man with a goofy stipped hat, pointing directly at YOU.
Ceasar is pleased so lets see WTH..
oh were you wondering how we could use sufferage?
[8]1840 AD rome declares war and drops off his stack of doom.
WTH
well 2/3 on frigate to frigate action with Cola kid biting it... Ace of bass and Lowdown sunset get promotions
draft and rush in frankfurt, the cav Mean Gene kills one gren.
whipping and poking and prodding all day long to rush some stuff, feel like silver.
[9] 1845 AD holy hell the killer stack of rome's stood their ground and piled on Frank...
only standing man was mean gene and he needs a medic!!!!!!
the rush rifleman comes in and a pack of cav.
horrible rolls on the navel battles with the only winner being the frigate Kate that was built this turn from cologne.
Rome is down to 3 galleons and Kate is unhurt. She will hunt them down
we lost berlins fish net btw - work order queued
Franfurt drafts again, 2 cav come in to help but only rodney is able attack with pete coming to cover.
oh we have
coal north of cologne... a city blessed by the war gods.
All roman intruders are dead.
steam came in and working Assembly line in 7.
[10]1850 AD my heart beats fast as I hear more wardrums! monty attacks the back stabbing rome. good.
the 3 escortless galleons flee and pillage another net.. putting cologne in starvation, then there were two as Kate stalks them.
workboat in cologne in 1.
workboat in berlin in 1
trade steam for scientific
we have oil near Munich... crap gaul switched to america. not sure when. well not like we built much there.
Delhi is jewish now.
Am beat tired... exhausting round....
your turn to clean up someone's mess silver! sorry took so long but for some reason turn 5 so wanted to crash.
get infantry due in 7 and mass draft a garrison imo.
Can focus on infrastructure.
the taking of Delhi catapulted us in score and broke indias back.. that is a MAJOR prize and he stripped all his other towns to try and keep it.... grab bangalore next before bothering with coventry.
silver there's stuff to do this turn still I think so look closely. Cavs are becoming obsolete so keep what we have. let cologne finish it's queue, it'll be a war machine.
I went and lost gaul to america... kinda a foregone conclusion I guess.
hunt those bastard boats down with kate.
fast post to get save.
seems I forgot to change civic after the crash so never did the first civic change...
Get infantry and consider going a turn with no science to grab cash.. finish calcuttas forge as you see fit that one engineer spec is major... can whip or buy it.
Cheers!

. Victoria was Conficuist, until she discovered Islam. M&M converted to Confuciasm after we romped his butt the second time. Asoka and Washington have been Confuciast for the longest of times. Isabella is Buddhist, so we'll just destroy her as an afterthought. Maybe we can send some draftees in there for practice.
