This is looking really good so far... anyone have an up-to-date screenshot?

 

[fe3333au]

Sorry for not posting ... I'm still in a flux state.

While I am recovering and my energy levels are building up ... I am concentrating on MIA and the MTDG ... which as you all know is getting interesting.

Therefore a decline having a turn

But will continue to watch

Now, depending on what scout and AK do, gma may be the one to bring this game to glory. That would be

Wishing fe healing and health, may his palm trees be fruitful.

Today, alas, I can not play;
a delay for at least a day;
or if not, scout may play.

I'm in no hurry, this I say.
If we press spacebar every play
25 turns will pave the way
to win no matter what the day
or who grabs it anyway.

I looked at the save last night. We're at peace with one town left on the other continent. We are weak to Japan and strong to the Ottomans and Portugal. Unless we're invaded, this will be mostly MMing. Tim left us well set up with CE's busily producing several things that will soon finish.

I don't mind waiting, AK, but any of us could jump in and play a few turns so we can get this done and go on to 1.1. Whatever the team feels like doing is fine with me.

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

Preturn: Igor starts playing with the buttons and manages to rush a Uni in Let's Make.. Culture is 894 per turn.

We have lots of obsolete units. How many will we need for MP duty? I can disband some? MarshGrab is about to start pumping 2 CPT; shall I keep it? requires 5 units to prevent a flip. IIRC, if I give it to say, Henry, the units get teleported home. sounds too cheesey.

Start the Military Academy in Capital.

1762 - now at 1014cpt. Just for giggles, load a rifleman into the Order of Idiots. Igor misclicks and drafts an infantry.

an hour and a half hath passed. enough for now.

Igor's last brain cell may implode if I do ten of these. I will probably only do 5

@ tim - thanks for the set up. I'll mess it up for sure and then scout can rant.

I'd be a whole lot more comfortable if we were kultural commies but say la vee (that's ukranian right?)

anyway, anyone mind if I sell some lux to Ozman?

 

[SimpleMonkey]

Sell Osman only lice-infested blankets, Windows 3.0 disks, and expired milk. Of this only the monkey approves.

I checked the unit support the other night. We're allowed some ridiculous amount of free units (maybe about 500?) and we only have about 1/2 or 2/3 of that. I think this game will end before we use up all of our available support and, since we're weak to Japan, it might be a good idea to keep them around.

Igor's last brain cell may implode if I do ten of these. I will probably only do 5

Cool, AK. These last turns are an MMing nightmare. I usually enjoy MMing, but my last set it got really tiresome. Oooooh, now maybe I'll get to do some more.

I don't mind MM in all the other gov'ts, but this fuedalism is insane. I'll try to get the cpt to 1100. I'm building artillery in the full culture cites in case anyone feels frisky and decides to invade. and yes harriet, the MA does give culture.

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

had a riot. Something about no more free beer and cookies on Fridays. Culture is now 1048 per turn. Ottos building ToE

1764 - Worker management madness. I vill get ziss continent railed or else! Being paranoid, now that we have frictionless movement, I'm building artillery instead of cavs. I just drafted in the capital on a misclick.

more rioting over the beer and cookies issue

1766- Took Igor to baseball practice, hope I can remember what I was doing

1768 - worker management.

1770 - I'm not sure what I just did at all the kings horse, but it needs to be fixed! Turning over to the next much better player now. now at 1083cpt, win in 1808 80k+ culture. I apologize for leaving the MM in such a state but I must go fetch and feed Igor.

I'm not sure what I just did at all the kings horse, but it needs to be fixed!

I'm scared to look!

[scoutsout]

Got it. Will play in a bit... as soon as I catch up on all the news spam in the MTDG...

 

[gmaharriet]

I'm scared to look!

Quoting myself here. I did take a quick look. All the Kings Horses is about pop 11 or 12. It has 2 contented citizens, 1 clown and all the rest are taxman. We have a food shortage so, unless Scout comes up with something very creative, there will be some starvation. Very curious indeed!!! I wonder if we lost a lux.

Looks to me like we're going to have to turn a bunch of our Civil Engineers into tax men. We're running zero science, losing about 65gpt with less than 500g in the kitty. Since we're not over our limit on unit support, I guess all of our gold is going to building maintenance and corruption.

Even if we build no more culture than we have already, we'll reach 100K in 20 turns or less, so it shouldn't be a major problem.

 

[scoutsout]

Oops... I thought Whomp was on deck...and played through to the turn before endgame. Here's the log:

1770 AD - Pre-flight check: Four cities are unhappy. Igor break, I fix.

The F1 Advisor say "Build More Cities!" What an idiot. We are losing 59gpt... and running 0.0.0... not too good. The maintenance is killing us at -612gpt.

Fiddle with the cities and specialists and get the bleeding down to -24gpt.

Current Culture: 80,369.

IBT - All the King's Horsemen University>Market
Sarcastic Marsh Infantry>Bank
Jungle Hill University>Infantry

Turn 1/1772

Culture: 81,460, 1091 cpt. Victory in 17 turns.
Dial up Henry and renew Dyes.

IBT - Irongold builds a Police Station, starts a bank.

Turn 2/1774

Culture: 82551, 1091 cpt. Victory in 16 turns.

Worker turns...fiddle with the specialists to get positive cash flow (basically firing Civil Engineers who can't complete their builds before endgame...)

IBT - Idiot Central riots. Hire a clown.

Turn 3/1776

Culture: 83,642 1091 cpt. Victory in 15 turns.

Intercept a few cities that will riot next turn.

IBT - Japan and Ottomans sign MPP.
Banana Rama Bank>Cathedral
We train some troops.

Turn 4/1778

84733, 1091 cpt. Victory in 14 turns.

Fiddle with 3 unhappy cities.

Whip the Cathedral in Kabah (2 pop) Scratchin' Post (2 pop) Middle Finger (2 pop) Whip the Library in Rushin' River for 2 pop, and the Temple in Simple Monkeyville for 2 pop.

IBT - Middle Finger finishes its cathedral, starts an Infantry.

Turn 5/1780

85,838, 1105cpt, Victory in 13. It doesn't look like we'll get there any faster.

IBT - The Ottomans declare war on us!!! (Again?)

Capital Crone completes the Military Academy, starts an Army.

A bunch of cities riot from war weariness.

Turn 6/1782

86,952 Culture. 1,114 cpt. We're done in 12.

Spend our treasury upgrading some cannon. With 3 Galleons for a navy.... and this close to endgame...this is no time for theatrics. Dial up Japan and sign a MPP. If Osman attacks us at home he'll regret it.

IBT - An Ottoman Frigate shells Banana Rama, and...

Dangit. Capital Crone Riots. The stupid citizens of All the King's Horsemen wreck the temple.

Turn 7/1784 AD

Culture: 88062, 1,110 cpt. Victory in 11.

After fixing all of the cities we're at 26g and losing 35gpt. Dial up Japan and sell Saltpeter for 42gpt.

IBT - Tokugawa shows up demanding Territory map and 13g. I tell him to shove it.

Turn 8/1786

Intercept a couple of towns that will riot next turn.

89172 culture, 1,110cpt, Victory in 10.

Turn 9/1788

No change in cpt.

Turn 10/1790

1112 cpt as a Colo... sports arena is built.

Believing that Whomp is up next in the game... and considering how close we are to a tedious endgame... I play through.

Turn 11/1792

92,506 culture... victory in 7

Turn 12/1794

93,618 culture... T-minus six

Turn 13/1796

T-minus Five

IBT - an Ottoman naval contingent appears in the south. I'm so scared.

Turn 14/1798

We pick up a few culture points...but it doesn't matter. T-minus Four.

IBT - Ottomans drop off an infantry and a Sipahi between 2 undefended towns. Gotta love those undefended towns.

Turn 15/1800

96975 Culture, 1,126 cpt. Victory in three...

Redline everything Ottoman in range... whack the infantry with a Cav... Looking for Elite units, I accidentally grab a Keshik and go after the redlined Sipahi.

IBT - more Ottoman naval movement in the south.

Turn 16/1802

T minus Two

IBT - Ottomans land 2 Infantry and a Sipahi between Tikal and Ocean Bluff.

Turn 17/1804

99,245 Culture. Victory next turn.

Lob Artillery shells at the Ottoman Interlopers. Whack 'em all with a fresh 4-horse Cavalry Army.

Here it is team, the T-Minus One Save

 

[Bede]

Boy, do you ever know how to take it down to the wire.....

 

[gmaharriet]

Oops... I thought Whomp was on deck...and played through to the turn before endgame.

No problem. I know Whomp's Civ computer is down and he's using a Mac to post on the board. I'm up, so the honor falls to me to finish this off. Should I keep you all in suspense until tomorrow night???

Got it!

 

[gmaharriet]

Pre-turn 1804 AD - Everything looks pretty good...no impending riots. Lay a few rails. Some Ottoman ships are off our south coast. I'm not sure it will make any difference at this point, but I whip unis in Mt Lemmon, Marshamarsha, WheatField, IronGold Lake and Darhan, cathedrals in Tabriz, Death to PRNG, Smokey's Bane, Chicken Farm, Yaxchilan and Crowded House, libs in North Coast and Bentleyville, a colosseum in Sprawling Heights, and a temple in All the King's Horsemen. I'm too lazy to look for any short rush opportunities, so hit <enter>.

IBT - All the rushed builds come in and are set to artillery, and THEN...


1806 AD - We win with 100,431 total culture, +1,186cpt, and we are Temujin the Magnificent. Pics to follow.

Great game, guys!!! Are we ready now for 1.1?

 

[gmaharriet]

We Win!
