Game Session Instruction Thread (GSIT) Wednesday, July 29th @ 1400 hrs (CDT)

[Cyc]

Yup. Sorry I haven't been posting any summaries. My free time have been renamed to costly time.

I was making simple errors on my summaries anyway.

Next T/C will be put off until at least Saturday.

 

[CommandoBob]

From Domestics, no changes to our wants.

I have an estate sale this Saturday and then a party (not because of the deceased!) so I'll be out-of-pocket on Saturday.

 

[TheOverseer714]

Tanks, tanks very much. Now that our continent is secure, I'm all for going after the Ottomans. They have a lux and 2 sources of Saltpeter. I think they make a fine target for our tanks. Speaking of tanks, Maeve can start making them now.

 

[Cyc]

T/C in an hour or so.

Starting T/C.

And the turn 5 Save:

 

[Cyc]

Will be doing the second group of 5 turns in an hour or so.

We have continued our alliance with the Cairde against the Perians. Persians have not been more than a nuisance to us and I haven't noticed any Persian land grabs in Bismarck's territory. We have also accepted the Cairde's offer to extend the Silk trade route.

The Greeks still have an Infantryman hiding in the woods in the London area. As soon as that unit emerges, we'll finish it off. Speaking of the Greeks, they seem to have completed their Intelligence agency. Twice they have sabotaged production in our cities. Both were factories. I believe we should build our Intelligence Agency now in order to locate and expell their Spy.

We have captured the beachhead on the Ottoman's continent. Having captured Aydin, we now control a source of Ivory and our Harbor there will be complete next turn. Our Armies will move quickly to end this war as soon as possible, ending another source of war weariness for our citizens.

We are a backwards people in the Science world, but this will soon change. As we complete the defensive units for our cities, upgrading will become complete. Soon all of our units will be modern. A more efficient Military will mean more gold for Science. When we complete the study of Flight, fighters will be build to protect our Southern coast from Bombers. From there, we seem to be looking forward to a Modern Age of Research. With the study of these machines they call Computers, our defensive capabilities will improve dramatically.

T/C in a bit.

 

[Cyc]

Can't seem to get in the chat room, but I'll start up the game anyway. Will keep trying.

Running Chat Log:

Spoiler :

T/C has begun
Loaded Save
Found that we are actually getting Wines from the Caire, not Silks.
We are just Mass Production ahead of the Cairde, but they do not have the Rubber required for

their Panzers.
Still can't get in the chat room.

[Cyc]

Any comments on the Game Sessions last weekend? Good or bad? Any concerns about the next T/C?

Planning on Wenesdy night around 2100CDT again. Sound good?

 

[Furiey]

Good - we now have 2 cities in Ottomanland. I always miss the extra movement point of Cavalrt though.

I'm not sure where the greek frigates are going, could the cruisers in Ergili go north to Dhyrrachim to try and nab them next turn? Talking of ergilli, currently 2gpt and 1 spt, as it can't grow you can make 2 more citizens specialists which will lose 1 gpt from the city but then make all the specialists taxmen or engineers to give you 7 gpt or 7 spt (Library in 11) or somewhere between the 2 if you have a combination.

I notice our little brother has a Cavalry fortified in our lands. He may be our brother but he is a known liar and a cheat. I would not trust him not to sneak attack one of our undefended cities. At least he can't get that far without a ROP.

Have fun on Wednesday, probably too late for me though.

 

[TheOverseer714]

Do you run CivAssist 2 or MapStat, cyc? I'm concerned about all the riots that keep cropping up. Either of those programs can warn you of most impending riots, allowing you to keep them from rioting. Otherwise, build more offensive units than defensive is my advice along with plenty of artillery.

Yes, the Ottoman Channel has been quite busy. The Ottoman, Persians, and Greeks have all been sending ships through and around for a while. Our Cruisers and Destroyers have also been busy sinking as many as possible. I wish we had a Harbor in Dhyrrachim. I will take a look at Ergilli's city screen and make the adjustments.

I notice our little brother has a Cavalry fortified in our lands. He may be our brother but he is a known liar and a cheat. I would not trust him not to sneak attack one of our undefended cities. At least he can't get that far without a ROP.

I've been keeping a close eye on our brother. There are no cities, as you say, within striking distance, that he could actually capture in one foul swoop.

No, I never use CA2 when I play. Too much micro-managment takes the fun out of the game for me. As I've said before, I probably use more entertainers than most players. Cities rioting are a normal refreshing of the Tree of Liberty by our patriots and indicate where work is needed.

We are building tanks now. We are also still building the slower Artillery at a lesser rate. Airports and Fighters are next on the agenda.
