FS1-Assimilation! (Noble?)

[S.ilver]

I stand corrected then...

What do you say Liq? Want to raze all AI cities except for one (bombed into stone age), and then sit around pressing end turn with the culture slider at 80%?

 

[Liquidated]

screw that... rome needs to get beat down like a B****

domination is the shizzle...

getting to my turns in a bit... never woke up yesterday to play the turns... well until it was too late.


Cheers!

preturn:

it is now 1988... ok

looking at the field and see we need mass troops to hold our towns. and not really too much foward armor and stuff to deal with capac for now...

so harry with the air force and move troops to the front. see if I cannot take out olliam and it's insane culture.

JC canceld fish... eff him.

gonna make a round of airports if missing and mechs for city... making mechs becuase the 2 move means I can shuffle them over using rails..

[1]1989 AD
cor takes 4 fighters to destroy capacs coal... rest go on intercept.

ok got a metric ton of armor it seems so gonna steam roll olly.

rest up the bombers.. move in the spies, build mass mechs.

wow spys can use other people's airports lol

[2]1990 AD

well ok this is pathetic. capac being 'gassed out' is understatement of the year. I take olliampa with scraps.

start a golden age for giggles.

[3]1991 AD

I made a mistake and accidentally attacked huarnmanga with modern armor instead of setting up shop... it flatted the modern armor in there so said EFF it and went with 3 more armors... all won but one more sam left to kill.

should have attacks with the gunship before last tank so could take the town this year but alas... oh well
bored battleships nuke the last of vilcabamababa's city defence...

[4]1992 AD
man silver you really gutted the incan army.

ROFL capac took out one our innocent artillery with a full hp mech... rofl

lost an artillery taking out the mech with artillery lol next one gained exp.

funny..

huamanga somehow gets a sam in town but tank rolls in...

lots more breathing room.

[5]1993 AD
omg one of our steaths was shot down by a jet fighter!!!!!

the artillery have the honors and WTH is capac doing building a nuke plant?

leaving enough tanks in vilcabambra and 2 transports headed over to pick them up to clean out capac.

gonna leave the game here with 5 turns of golden age left. and man insane amount of damage those steaths do.

nice work cleaning out capac, all I did was mop up the left overs.

NOT A SINGLE CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay!!!!!!!!!!

capac has one island town left.... ship out the troops to kill off washington and capac. Washington is stuck tech wise so should be easy.


ok so which to kill next? rome will be no contest. china has a ton of tech. Alex's culture is annoying.

this is a won game but hey it's fun to smash and blow crap up!

[S.ilver]

What? Only going for 5 turns? Oh I see... you want to leave the hard part to me .

AIs should be forced to war each other longer with the new patch, therefore causing themselves more damage. Capac and Washington are has-beens. I don't really feel like going island hopping to destroy Washy. Maybe I'll do so for Capac, as he only has 1 city left, but I'll leave Washy be (or I'll pay JC to go and kill him, probably more an attempt to kill him, as I think Washy still has better units than JC).

The thing about Mao and Alex... We have modern armours and mechs. Units don't get any better. So it doesn't matter what tech lead that Mao has over us, all the techs do is let him build disabled space ship parts . So really we could fight either. If I'm really diabolical, I'll pay Alex to attack Mao, and while they're busy bashing heads, burning each other's cities, and generally killing off each's other's military, I'll backstab Alex and take York and the surrounding cities, and then work westward through China and Greece at the same time, until we hit domination. At least I think we have enough units for me to attempt that.

What do you think Liq?

EDIT: Oh and LMAO at us timewarping back 20 years. I guess Soren adjusted his year increments.

 

[Liquidated]

Lets do the time warp again.....

I like the back stab alex thing..

see what all you can do in that arena...

Capac has one town left and all it takes are those modern armor and a few artillery to blow him up... like that idea.

as for alex, he should be next as his culture is strangling nottingham.

anyway 5 turns cause you love to steam roll this stuffs and well I had to sleep sooner rather than later.

and well don;t think of it as the hard part silver, think of it as your turn to shine!

oh imo just burn all the great people for golden ages... nothing better for them to do since no artists.

Cheers!

Turn (0): Preflight check.

We've won, y'know. Even if I do nothing this turn, all of Capac's cities will come out of revolt and get us a domination victory here and now. Since we win, let's see what kind of chaos I can cause .

A look at the snazzy new power info screen shows that Alex is stronger than Mao. Let's see what this will take...

Man, you left me a lot of units to move this turn...

Turn (1): The war begins. Alex's troops move towards Mao's pitiful borders. I almost want to kill JC for moving his battleship so much...

Not much to do. I want to see some carnage on the front before I commit to the war. In fact, I probably don't need to do anything at all, although Alex has a bigger empire than Mao...

Further investigation of York, shows 4 units in it, one of which is a jet fighter. I will take York...

Fleet has arrived, I drag off some units to finish HC. Notice that JC has made Arretium on Aztec Hindu continent. No idea why. It appears to be 0% Roman. Flip? Then will we have 2 out of 4 .

Turn (2): No idea what is going on. Are they even fighting? Maybe I need to do some more recon...

Wow... the Chinese appear to be all over Corinth, ripping up improvements. C'mon Alex! Fight back and waste troops .

Air force is heading back to Arby. So are a bunch of troops to take York (4 guys, c'mon, pushovers!)

Turn (3): I just cued up a whole bunch of infrastructure...

Moving units around...

Turn (4): More infrastrucutre. I have no idea if the war is working. Must check power graph.

Alright... I'm getting bored...

Wow, that screenshot taker is really lame...

Let's get ready...

Turn (5): York will fall... Like... right now...

So will this dinky little town of Ephesus...

Now for Tianan...

Now you wonder where my screenshots are

I sign peace with HC. Because he has a city he is willing to give me.

Alright... That's it...

(AGAIN! Lame screenshot taker!)


Final Overview

Looking through the turns... It appears that we weren't at all that slow expanding, being in the middle of the pack for making the second city. Our culture was huge back then compared to others.

However, we were correct in assuming we were so far behind because of being hemmed in. However, our economy must've been poorly developed, because Victoria was similarily sandwiched like us, yet she managed to hold a nice tech lead before being destroyed.

We made war a lot better than we made peace. In all of our wars other than the Malinese and Indian wars, we simply blitzed across the enemy territory, and destroyed them utterly. The Malinese and India wars were slow due to the fact that we were up against superior units, yet we prevailed in the end.

We ended ranked number 1 in all areas of demographics (no surprise). A little info for you.
683 million gold GNP
1741 million tons Mfg. Goods
1289 million bushels in crop yields
8123000 soliders
788000 square kilometers land area
78717000 population
70% Approval Rate
65 year life expectancy
320/86 imports/exports

Only two of the top 5 cities were ours. Berlin came in at number 1. Athens at number 2, Shanghai at number 3, Hamburg at number 4 (despite being the target for so many Malinese raids!), and Nanjing at number 5. Strange that Bejing didn't make it on. I'm also upset that our Wonderburg P) Colonge didn't make it on. That city basically built our military!

Time played... 50 hours and 54 minutes collectively. We are civ fanatics!

Cities built... 5 in total . 5 true German cities. We razed 4 enemy cities

Our favourite building was... the theatre. Second place goes to the barracks that kept my units going .

Our favourite unit is the mechanized infantry. We built 78, but have 104 due to upgrades. I guess Madras worked harder than Colonge

We killed more SAM infantry that anything else. Regular infantry come in second place as ammo fodder for our troops.

"FS-1, during this game you have displayed the leadership abilities of Lech Walesa." Just to let you know, that is EXACTLY the top position of the bottom half. So we could've done better.

We finished in 1999. Right before the new millenium. I guess our armies feared the Y2K bug .

Good game guys. A pity we couldn't win by the variant. It just shows we need more practice. Although I'm thouroughly impressed with ucel and Liquidated. They kept the wheels oiled whilest I smashed up and degraded our infrastructure. My hat's off to both of you.

Oh, and the save, so you can take a look through it if you'd like...

[Merzbow]

Congrats on the excellent military tactics you guys displayed this game, I could have sworn several times early on you were beat but you pulled out the smackdown each time. I'm gonna go read through the Mali war posts again for some tips...

 

[Liquidated]

hahah WTH with the screenshots man

The WAR one should be titled "Workers!!!!" and the win shot "A place only an AI would settle on"

but yes game was over once you broke capacs back.. I figured more fun to let you deal just a bit more chaos with ALLLL those effing units.

as for madras vs. cologne... keep in mind cologne made as many panzers as modern armor...

oh and those tanks bleed for us!!!

also at the end I had everything making mechs to air lift to capac.

imo the MVP unit was our beloved panzer only because well no other unit was around to conquor so much.


Absolutely fantastic game, a blast to play..

oh and hats off to you silver on the mansa scare.. that fight alone is worth the thread.

Party like it's 1999!

Cheers!

[ndthsmdy]

I was wondering when you guys'd smash enough civs to win this one

Honestly, I think our biggest early problem was coordination. When I suggested we go as Frederick, I expected we would aim to win by wondering the crap out of everyone else. Instead we got a start not terribly conducive to it, chased a religion, and got hemmed in. Once we chose war, it gave us direction and there was enough skill to turn it around.

Congrats though. Seeing as I crapped out early and didn't get a single turn at war, this is much more your victory than mine

 

[Farae]

Ah, I stand ashamed that I missed all of this. I can only say that I did get all my works done, and it payed off with a nice grade come semester report cards.

You guys rock, I will be sure to set up another SG, and I won't skip out!

 

[ucel]

Thank you too for the great game ! See you in the next SGs. BTW it seems that I have 2 vacats in Ucel03
