God Save the King

Take down India, but since they are teching a lot, make sure that you eliminate them completely instead of vassalizing them.

However, beware that Gandhi will Peace Vassalize himself to anyone that he is Cautious, Pleased or Friendly towards. To avoid this possibility, get units outside of all of his Cities and take down the defenders to 1 defender each. Then, when you feel that you can capture all of his remaining Cities on the same turn as each other, do so, and he won't even have the chance to Peace Vassalize to anyone else (such as to China).
 
First, Alexius, thanks for the support with nukes. And welcome to the thread!

And Dhoomstriker, I'm playing Vanilla civ, so I don't have to worry about vassals. Also, I have found their one source of oil.

Hehehehehehe.....:evil::evil::evil::evil::evil:

My battle plan will be to immediately take their oil city, and razing it, then continuing along just wreaking havoc on the Indians. Even if I don't win, I'll just raze any city I take to mess with their production. And take as many workers as I can. Hopefully (not likely) I'll be able to get Qin Shi Huang involved in my evil little scheme, and only let him take a few cities.

By the way, its three votes to one, so it looks like plans for the invasion of India will need to be formulated in the Pentagon.
 
My battle plan will be to immediately take their oil city, and razing it, then continuing along just wreaking havoc on the Indians.
In that case, I would suggest that you first Pillage the Oil and its Road before razing the City, so that the owner of the neighbouring City (Alex?) doesn't immediately get access to said Oil when his Cultural Borders expand over top of the conquered ex-Indian land.

If if the neighbour already has a copy (or more importantly, if the neighbour DOES already have a copy of the Oil), there is the chance of it being immediately traded out to, say, I don't know, the Indians? :mischief: So, Pillage then Raze.
 
I would've said A too but too late. India being ahead with that space race can really interfere with the win.
 
The English-Indian War:And other stuff...:(


In 1965, Frankfurt, Rostov and Oslo all finished rioting. Both then started on a barracks, for barracks build better bombs. (The four B’s.)

In 1966, Cologne finishes its tanks, and started on another tank. The barracks in Brownsville was finished and Brownsville started on an infantry in case the fat Montezuma attacked. (Seriously, needs to learn from Caesar. Way too many sacrificial brownies. ) Also, the Dublin Harbor was finished, so more ships could come and yell at the Dubliners for their excess of potatoes. (Which are quite tasty, by the way.) Dublin then started on all the walls, as Dubliners waistlines were expanding at a record rate. Drafts were imitated for new troops in Hamburg, Berlin, Cologne and Paris, for work on a secret new offensive from the Pentagon called “Operation Kill India”. (Though no one knew what it was, they guessed it involved India. )

In 1967, satellites were discovered in the English Empire. Quickly realizing that rubber bands were not going to cut it this time, they strapped on rockets and, within days, the English Empire had an updated world map. Matthias was confused what to do next. Then, he saw an odd glowing green material on a hill that everyone avoided. After finding a deer, he threw the deer on it and the deer turned purple and grew another head. Matthias then ran back to his Palace to tell his researchers about it. It became known as Uranium, as a researcher said “You….rain……eee…um….” (The original name was Matthiasum. Matthias is bad at charades.) The technology needed for it was called fission, for someone said that Matthias was “fishing” and, because he had such an odd accent, it was called “fission”. Rome finishes a marine division, and started on a Battleship in its cities honor, called the HMS Rome. Meanwhile, Cumae finishes a theatre, to be non-barbaric, and started on a barracks, to be barbaric. (It all balances out.) In Iceland, the Buddhist Temple was finished, and Iceland started on a work boat for no apparent reason. Moscow also finished its theatre, and started on a barracks to make more weapons.

In 1968, York finished the last of its tanks and started on a Battleship, the HMS Churchill, the second of the HMS Rome line of heavy Battleships.

In 1969, Dublin finishes its walls to prevent fatties. As belt buckles were bursting at a record rate, Dublin started on a castle to prevent fatties from eating Ireland. In Iceland, a work boat was finished and Icelanders started on a submarine, which apparently a ship that could go underwater to shoot stuff at ships. And we used to hit each other with axes. (Ahh….the glory days.) Meanwhile, a tank was finished in Madrid for Operation Kill India, and Madrid started digging bunkers in the ground for no apparent reason. In other news, Moscow finished a barracks and started on a tank for Operation Kill India.

In 1971, Madrid finishes its bunker. It then started on a jail to house hooligans, mainly because hooligan is a funny word. Oslo finished its barracks, and, as waistlines and newfound prosperity were causing people to grow at unprecedented rates, Oslo started on walls, to save the poor sheep. (Or “walking mutton” as they were known in England.)

In 1973, York finished the HMS Churchill. This would be a massive and dangerous threat to the Indian Navy in Operation Kill India. York started on the third of the HMS Rome line, the HMS Anything. (I need new ship names.) A tank was finished in Berlin, and started on a bunker. By this time, the bunkers had gotten more advanced, with signs that said “Bomb here!” where there was no one.

1974 was an influential year in the World. War with India was declared, and the HMA divisions in Persia advanced into Indian soil. Simultaneously, a force of six tank divisions landed near Hyderabad, the only source of Indian Oil. Operation Kill India had begun. In other world news, researchers returned to announce that they had discovered Fission, and could now split atoms. Matthias then ordered them to work on his ruling style, which he called Fascism. In Hamburg, the SAM infantry (everyone was named Sam) was finished, and started on a tank. Dublin finished its castle, and, for no apparent reason, started on a work boat. St Matthiasburg finished its barracks, and started on a tank division. Meanwhile, a barracks was finished in Frankfurt, which also started on a tank division. In London, a Great Engineer named Nikolaus August Otto was born, and was sent to London and went to sleep.

In 1975, one tank division was killed by the Indians near Bangalore. Meanwhile, Hyderabad was taken and the oil wells were razed simultaneously. The tank divisions continued to the only Indian city left on the continent, Punjab. Meanwhile, Madrid had finished its jail for “hooligans” and started on a tank division. The Norwegian market was finished and started on a Grocer to make money. Rostov finished a barracks and started on a Confucian Temple to keep the monks of the other, lame religions happy. Oslo also finished its walls, and started on a Hindu Temple to keep their monks happy. (Wow. That’s a lot of angry monks.)

In 1976, the English put a man on the moon. After shooting at the Indian man on the moon, he went back to Earth. He then told everyone about a star he saw, called Alpha Centurai, and that, is we colonized it, somehow history would end. This quickly became the focus of the English Empire. Berlin followed this new idea by starting on a giant wall, called SS Casing, to put inside the ship. In London, researchers had told Matthias that, if split correctly, a atom could start on a chain reaction of enormous power. Due to the wonderfulness of such explosive power, Matthias started on a Manhattan Project to use this energy to make weapons. The HMS Ark was finished in Copan, and Copan started on a barracks. Meanwhile, Bangalore was taken after losing six divisions in the city fighting, and razed.

In 1977, Dublin finished its work boat and started on a tank. (So predictable.) York finished the HMS Anything, and started on the Eiffel Tower. (Despite knowing anyone named Eiffel, it was still called the Eiffel Tower.) The Great Engineer Nikolaus August Otto was assimilated into the city for 750 hammers. (Stop! Hammer Time! :p)Meanwhile, a tank was finished in Moscow and started on (hold on…wait for it ……it’ll be real surprising……)another tank.

In 1978, researchers arrived in Matthias’ Palace to announce they had discovered Fascism. Due to the rising numbers of peace activists (Normal conversation: 1:Peace mannnnn. 2. Peace maaaaaaan…) Matthias ordered the immediate starting of Ecology, to give them something besides peace to riot occasionally for. Paris, meanwhile, finished the Scotland Yard, and started on a spy to start using this new ideas. Meanwhile, the HMS Rome was finally finished in Rome, to protect from invasion. Rome started digging random holes in the ground, for this was all the rage.

In 1979, Paris finished its spy. Paris started on another spy to (um…well…)spy. Meanwhile, Cumae finished its barracks, and started on a bunker for random-hole digging fun. Meanwhile, the HMS Severance (the new submarine) was finished in Iceland. It was crewed by loads of people happy to leave the land of Ice. Meanwhile, Iceland started on a barracks to train the people who stayed. Meanwhile, in South America, we lost two divisions near Punjab trying to take the city, which was taken then razed. In more important news, the city of Delhi was taken and razed after the loss of 11 divisions.

Delhi TAKEN!:

In 1980, the spy was finished in Paris. Paris then started on a tank, to attack India. Meanwhile, a tank division was finished in Madrid and started on a factory to make tanks faster. (Fun. It was better than nothing but tanks though.) Meanwhile, the Roman Walls were finished, and started on a castle to keep fatties inside the city.

In 1981, the HMS Churchill sunk an Indian Battleship on the west coast of Africa. It was then sunk by the other Indian Battleship. (Sad.) In other news, the city of Cologne finished its tank and started on a bunker to randomly dig holes.

In 1982, the Stuttgart tank was finished. It started on (gasp!) another tank. Meanwhile, the Hindu Temple was finished in Oslo, and started on a factory to pollute. Meanwhile, one tank division was killed in action near Bombay. In other news, the HMS Anything was killed by an Indian Battleship.

In 1983, Paris finished its tank and started on, like Berlin, an SS Casing. Madrid, meanwhile, finished on a tank and started on another tank. Meanwhile, Iceland finished its barracks and started on a tank, like all of Western Europe. In other news, an infantry division was killed in India, near Bombay.

Madras taken:

In 1984, the Eiffel Tower was finished in York. Now, people from all over Europe could go look at a huge iron tower. York then started on a tank. (Normal.) In Antium, a tank was finished, which then started on another tank. Meanwhile, St Matthiasburg finished its tank and started on another. Meanwhile, three Indian divisions were killed in the defense of Madras.

In 1985, the factory in Madrid was finished. They then started, predictably, on a tank. Meanwhile, the Copan barracks were finished and started on walls to keep fatties in. Meanwhile, one tank division was killed attacking Madras, which was taken and razed.

In 1986, Ecology was discovered in the English Empire. A bunch of former-peace activists then started the first nature colony. Matthias then was confused on what to get them to research, and then looked at a bird in the sky. This gave Matthias the idea to tell his researchers to work on Flight. The researchers trudged away. (Woohoo! Trudged!)In Norway, the Grocer was finished, and, due to the prosperity, started on walls to hold the fatties in. In Bombay, our spy managed to bribe an official to give her all the plans. She then sat on him until he died. She then ran to London, and gave the plans to Matthias, and retired. Meanwhile, a Great Scientist (named Great Scientist naturally)was born in Cologne and was sent to Paris to build an academy.

In 1987, Norway finished its walls and started on a castle, or as it was also known, more walls. In India, the city of Bombay was taken and razed.

POLL: What should I do next?

A. Continue with the war! Destroy the Indian Empire in Eurasia! Then: AA: Land in Indian Colonies to destroy everyone!:mwaha::mwaha::evil::evil: AB: Get peace, then attack China! :backstab:

B: Get Peace and a whole lot of techs. With their best cities razed, we're in the clear. (Unless they continue. Then kill them.)
 
I want AAB: Continue with the war! Destroy the Indian Empire in Eurasia, then attack China!
 
i vote b. after you get a whole lot of techs you can attack india.
 
i vote b. after you get a whole lot of techs you can attack india.

but....i'm already attacking india....If i get peace, i'll get technologies and then have to wait 10 turns until attacking. Personally, I want to wait to attack at least until I get nukes AND SDI, so i'm safe. This gives me a narrow time frame against Qin Shi and/or Asoka.
 
Anything but B:please:
 
just so everyone knows, this game is winding down. I have a little game planned with Civ'ed, but I need a big game to occupy my attention. But here's the question: What should I do next?
A. Hail Prussia! (World War Wolf scenario for LoR, as Prussia (duh))
B. Salve Questor (Vanilla Civ 18 civ as Rome)
C. Its a War, War world, After all, (a huge terra game with nothing but all the aggressive AI's (think everyone with the Agressive Trait) and me as Roosevelt or Churchill or Bismarck)
 
A, I guess
 
A sounds best.

Play RFC 600 AD until Persia becomes independent, then become Persia. You must win the game with Mercantilism, Theocracy, and Representation as your civics, and you cannot make any deals with England or America.

Enjoy.
 
I don't think you can switch to a Civ that respawns, after it's already spawned and died.
 
I'd like to see A. (For both polls :p)
