Warrior upgrade time!

Bet it was packed full with swordsmen.

If we wan't to keep that island, we should rush a spearman and a harbor in it. Citizens in cities acquired in peace deals convert to the new civ, so hopefully there's a low risk for it to flip back, but I think we should rush a temple there too, just in case. On the screenshot Bryansk is not growing, why is that? Has Russia had some riots?

Very good job.
We gained something from the Russian war after all. (And lost nothing)

 

[Gogf]

Yes, pretty good job, except those barbarians killing our AC . Well, that's okay, I guess.

 

[gunnerxtr]

yea, i was suprised that russia gave us bryansk for peace, and i didnt do anything to it because i didnt know if it was worth our money. i am pretty sure that bryansk is still in resistance.

 

[conehead234]

That island could become useful in the future, a possible staging ground for an invasion of Russia.

 

[gunnerxtr]

thats what i was thinking too conehead

 

[AntiTwelve]

damn forgot it was my turn!
i'll have it done within 24 hours or less

 

[AntiTwelve]

Thank God for 2 hour delays

*pre-turn*
switch Hareid to settler
switch Bryansk to warrior (so it can produce faster), make it a tax collector
switch Vadso to worker to begin roading
switch Bodo to settler
switch Karakjok to worker

ibt-meh...

turn 1, 460ad...
*Bergen spear--marketplace
*Molde worker--worker
*Birka spear--brax
*Stavanger warrior(?)--worker
*Odense spear--settler (for the far island)
I started off by getting workers to road to Carthage (or Neo Scandinavia for formal ). Noticed our one island has too many elite ACs over there, I'm gonna go ahead and bring'em home. However, after dropping off a warrior/spear pair on big island, it occurs to me that we're losing money FAST! What to do, what to do? JA KLAR, I'll trade Germany our outdated writing for all their 138 gold. Nice, Arabs have feudalism, we'll get from GL in no time.

ibt- deal w/ Arabia for their spices ends... oh no.
Trondheim and Copenhagen riot! D'oh :slay: ...

turn 2, 470ad...
switch Copenhagen's temple to marketplace (vetoable)
I guess war MUST come if we are to survive. I demand all of Carthage's 20 gold (they cave) and I say "yoink!", we catch each other's eyes, LAUGH OUR ASSES OFF, and I declare war.
Celts sign MA vs. Carthage fo' free, something must be different this time?

ibt- 3/3 warrior kills 2 barbs, 4/3 promotes, 2 Russian galleys spotted near Bryansk

turn 3, 480ad...
*Trondheim aqueduct--mp
*Oslo spear--worker
Update our palace, I gave it grass , and knock a barb hut fo mo money. I send a mighty 2/4 warrior to attack 2/2 barb and die :/ . But....
6/6 AC v. 3/3 Numidian Mercenary, 3/2
5/5 archer v. 3/3 NM, 3/0 (woot)
Oea Captured! --brax

5/5 AC v. 3NM, 2/5 {BlArGh}
4/5 AC v. 1/3NM, 1/1
Capture Sabratha and sink a galley (or 2?)-- spear
Already our Gpt is eveing out, not quite enough though...

ibt- 4/4 curragh kills 2 barb galleys, 4/2 promotes and those Russian galleys run away

turn 4, 490ad...
*Reykjavik temple-spear

ibt- AC produced (we keep making these until metallurgy, PWN)
Celts CAPTURE UTICA from Carthage!

turn 5, 500ad...
*Delhi settler--spear
*Birka brax--ch
palace once again expand, produce the almighty right wing.
I founded the city of Farsund --worker , now there is only 1 or 2 more spots to make a city. Sending more ACs and galleys to help assault Carthage

ibt- Carthage galleys moves near Farsund

turn 6, 510ad...
*Bombay settler--brax
*Vadso worker--settler
4/4 spear v. 2/2 barb (NOT ON A MOUNTAIN), 0/4 OMFG!

ibt- woot, learn Feudalism from GL
Carthaginian galley runs off, I'll follow.

turn 7, 520ad...
*Karasjok worker--settler
Our silk road connects to Oea, and.. omg...look...

That's a little too scary, looks like Celts will be inevitably next in our path o' destruction.

ibt- learn Engineering, begin Invention (ALMOST 50 TURNS!)

turn 8, 530ad...
*Oslo worker--galley
*Bryansk warrior--spear
3/3 galley v. 4/4 Carthage galley, 4/2 promotes

ibt- sign RoP w/ Celts, Arabs begin Sun Tzu's

turn 9, 540ad...
*Bombay brax--pike
*Stockholm galley--pike

ibt- AC produced

turn 10, 55oad...
*Stavanger worker--harbor
*Odense settler--galley
*Hareid settler--pike
6/6 AC v. 3/3 NM, 3/4
Cirta captured! --spear
The Arabs now know monotheism, we could really use that to begin Chivalry... I don't know about you but Knight's of Templar sound REALLY GOOD right about now...
Russia has horses for trade, remember this when we need to start producing knights! Otherwise all you need to do is figure our the economical problems and how to take Carthage/Celts..
Here is a pic of their land, take notes on a good route (I say take the capital first, what say you?)

In the year 55o

 

[conehead234]

Good turns, no carthage people allowed on our frozen island.

 

[gunnerxtr]

good job cizzlewalk

 

[Gogf]

Good turns! Is it my turn. Let's hope we destroy the Celt's in GGF1, before we go to war with them here...

 

[Gogf]

1., It's my turn, isn't it? Sorry. I'll play once I get a chance
2. Remeber, Berserkers are a little better than Crusaders, but Crusaders can't hurt . Once we get Invention, guess what we are going to build a ton of.

 

[gunnerxtr]

uhh Gogf are you gonna play this?

 

[Gogf]

Woops. Sorry. I'll play ASAP (a little later today).

 

[AntiTwelve]

I hope your not watching Super Bowl... we might have to wait late

 

[Gogf]

my computer got really messed up after the super bowl. It crashed, and didn't come back to life. I got it to work this morning, but I didn't get a chance to play. I'm slowing us down too much, just skip me.

 

[gunnerxtr]

i think we can wait if you can get it done today

 

[AntiTwelve]

or tonight?
