GK2- The Training Day Experiment

[KayEss]

Looks good. I would make one change though - use the mountains at Frankfurt for your beachead as it means any initial attempt to throw you out is going to be that much harder (although there are also mountains to take advantage of at Munich).

It also means that you'll still be attacking Munich from the comparative safety of the mountains. The Germans are likely to expend a lot of units taking us on when we're stacked on those which should provide us another advantage.

The final bit is that you won't be splitting your first units left and right.

 

[Bede]

Nice work, vipr.

So you'll need about eight boats, (five transporters and some covering iron clads).

Concur with KayEss re splitting the forces. Land to the north and make a counterclockwise run. Skipping Cologne and Nuremburg and striking straight for the heart from Konigsberg or even Leipzig is also effective.

What will our position with repect to the domination limit be after this adventure?

Lurker Comment/Question

If you land at Frankfurt, won't you have to fight through the German counterattack from Munich on Mtns? Also, since traveling through Mtns (appear to be roaded though) won't it take longer to get to Munich?

Could fort some pikes in the mtns outside Munich to deny the Germans at the same time your main landing hits Frankfurt...

Lurker ramblings end....

Busy packing, only 5 turns. Sorry the turnlog isn't that detailed and no screenshots, I'm busy...

Preturn- Upgrade some galleys to galleons, start a couple ironclads and galleons... Buy Military Tradition from France for Steam Power (everyone else has that tech, France would get it sometime anyway.) Upgrade all Knights and MWs to Cavalry (chances of getting an elite win with one of them at this point doesn't seem too likely.) Right there I have about 20 cavs. Need 8 ships for 30, but I could have 28 and 7 ships or 32 and 8, I'll have to see the boat-to-military ratio. Begin a few cav builds, rush a cav at Oka. Hit enter.
1
Begin sending ships to a point where we can attack Germany from. Germans have Commie, get it for Medicine and Elecricity just in case we want to try Communism. I hope they change govs and we can attack them then.
IBT- Scientific Method==>Industrialization. Science to 70%, due in 4.
2
Begin ToE at Salamanca.
IBT- Continue some the lux trade with Russia, cancel with Germany. We riot 'cause of that, lux to 20% then MM.

 

[Bede]

Whoa, horse. With Sistine's and cathedrals where were the riots? Old Japan I'll bet.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

After we get ToE, I think we should revolt to Commie and let every one experiment with how that government works. It is quite different than anything else in the game.

 

[Mistfit]

I'm not sure who we are planning on going to war with across the pond but I might suggest not going for Germany. This is for one reason only... He's about the only one over there that has cash and gpt to pay us. He's currently paying us 102 gpt (1/3 of our current incomming cash) and he is able right now to pay us Spices/WM/57gpt/90 gold for Scientific Method.

Also Lets not forget to upgrade a few of our vPikes to bring to the battle with us. We have the cash we might as well bring some defense with us too. And while I'm on the subject lets either get rid of our 4 catapults or upgrade them to something usefull.

If you are worried about getting the ToE we could finish it next turn by switching susa out from JS Bach.

If not Salamanca can be mm'ed to bring ToE in in 14 turns by stealing a hill from Grand River.

 

[KayEss]

Can try to get ToE on the same turn as we complete a tech?

The tech chooser is done before the cities cycle so we ought to be able to get 3 techs in the same turn and not waste any turns, money or beakers.

 

[Mistfit]

If we were to switch in the preturn of the next set we could do that.

 

[alerum68]

umm... hello?

 

[KayEss]

Good point alerum68, whose turn is it now? Or rather, what are we meant to be doing? Invasion planning isn't it?


Things have been pretty hectic over here. Thankfully now the professionals are taking over but there's still a lot of tidying up to do in the south.

 

[Tman65]

Sorry to see this one die , but I'd like to put a big 'ole

out there to all that were involved in this thread. You all helped my game immensely! I just achieved my first Space Launch win, helped in the majority by the strategies and thought development I learned by following along.

 

[tron]

Two months ago I was getting beat up trying to make the jump to Monarch. After reading this thread and others, I'm about to get my first Monarch win, with the victory condition of my choice.

Thanks for all your effort.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

Welcome to CFC tron. I'm glad the thread has helped, and I'm sorry to see it die as well.

 

[denyd]

SirBugsy & Misfit & Bede & Alerum:

Anybody interested in finishing this one?

I'd be willing to join in just for old times sake and just to win one for for the Ghengis

 

[Bede]

I'll come aong for the ride.

Looks like all the students moved on to bigger and better things, though.

 

[alerum68]

I couldn't do anything about this until spring break which is in about 2 weeks... but maybe, if I don't have to much going on.

 

[DJMGator13]

I really need to finish up a little exercise I started a while back for this one. Well not really an exercise but I think it could be fun none the less.

I'm up for anything to help finish this off. I know Mistfit is still active because he is in almost all of my SGs. I'm not sure about any of the others.

How about some new recruits to help finish this off? Tron? Tman65?

 

[viper275]

I'd be willing to continue if I found my vanilla Civ3 disk.
