GOTM 162 Spoiler

[Inkerman]

I'll create the spoiler as our new contributor Catalin has started playing.

It will be some days until I join in here, but I guess the first thing we may talk about is how many cities to build on the starting island.

 

[catalin72]

Unfortunately,I have saves just AD 1000 and the last turn,and the big problem a reload not OK in the end of the game,hurry to reload for a mouse jump(after clarification in GOTM 161 spoiler,accidents) trireme not in my city to disband,and my diplomat steal other tech,etc.Can't submit this game,but I will write how I played.
I maked 2 cities on the starting island,capital Delhi (11,33) and Bombay(8,34),in swamp,irrigated after.
My first trireme with settler for the middle island lost at the sea,the second lucky..
AI played bad,I maked Lighthouse and Colossus in the middle island,and with 5 cities easy to eliminate,AI no triremes or other ships in my game.The problem is the restart in the one tile/ island,hard to have a troop on every tile.....

 

[Ali Ardavan]

I have not finished gotm161 yet so it will be a while for me as well. While I may change my mind later, my current inclination is to build only one city in the homeland and go for space. Conquest on this map seems boring.

By the way, this kind of discussion (pre any actual playing) can take place in the game thread and does not have to be in the spoiler.

 

[Major Advantage]

Conquest on this map seems boring.

Just what I thought. However there might be a battle for the green star.
But I also think that OCC would not be much of a challenge, this map will not let the AI be competetive.
So I chose the hard way and went for a big spaceship game, even though there will not be much food (before harbours), shields (before offshore platforms) and space to settle. So it will take a lot longer than in the last game.

-4000 Move onto river
-3950 Delhi founded
-3900 Research Alph
-3650 Alph->Burial
-3300 s1-settler built, need a quick warrior now for crowd control
-3100 Bombay founded
-2950 Burial->Mapmaking
-2400 Mapmaking->Laws;
-1950 1st boat built, will sail southeast with 2 settlers
-1850 Laws->Monarchy
-1800 Madras (island 15) founded
-1700 Bangalore (island 16) founded, 17 of 60 beakers done
-1450 Begin LH in Delhi
-1400 57 beakers done; check out island 13, sign peace with Rome, get Bronze working
-1250 Monarchy (revolt & est.)->Currency;

2 settlers in a trireme is a risk and 80 shields,are you sure they cross 5 tiles ?.I sent just one settler and ....puffff,food for fish.

 

[Major Advantage]

2 settlers in a trireme is a risk and 80 shields,are you sure they cross 5 tiles ?.I sent just one settler and ....puffff,food for fish.

That was no risk, the trireme started outside our home-island and had 3 steps to end the turn just on the shore of island 15, so it was a safe passage. Same for the next step to island 16. I did not take the risk and headed for the big island.

OK,I don't know more about this game,more tricks,and to read all about these in forum,etc,is too late,2015
Good luck !

I thought about this one for a few days but didn't reach the conclusions
"Conquest on this map seems boring" or "OCC not much of a challenge".

But I did decide only a single city on the first island, perhaps based on similar thinking that doing two or three would be a waste of playing on this map.

Let's see how we get on, and decide later what to do. Maybe more cities on several little islands and put trade routes in place for a big spaceship, maybe just OCC, often quite a challenge for me, or just maybe we can conquer from one city?

I'm not sure how best to go about the start. It is Deity and we only have one special to work with, so it is not a piece of cake. There are probably different ways of playing the first 100 turns or so. I don't know which is best, and I probably can't think of them all. But given we're not chasing green this time and the AI lacks terrain, perhaps it does not matter so much. Let's just go with one approach and see how we get on. At least we are unlikely to get thrown off our chosen technical path.

Like Major_Advantage I chose to move before founding the city. Unlike the Major, I chose Writing as the extra technology en route to Monarchy. But we became monarchy in the same year.

[haleewud]

When I started the game, I wanted to play a quick game. So I decided I would be trying for Conquest. I also decided that I would build 2 cities on the initial island.
My game started similarly to Major's. But I didn't switch my worker to the forest until after Alphabet was discovered.
Our order of settlement was much different. To be perfectly honest, I never realized that islands 15 and 16 were within trireme distance. I never did make that trip.

-3900 start Alphabet
-3800 RB 1sh (going for size 1)

Can make mine,sorry,confusion...

Of course haleewud's log shows how to write this more impressively

settler moves into Delhi and charges

Good work getting to Monarchy in -1650.

 

[Inkerman]

So my log is not so interesting for comparison as I stay with 1 city.

925- Settler completes draining swamp.
875- Build and sell barracks.
800- Discover BW -> Currency. Finish another warrior.
775- Size=4.
675- Build and sell barracks. Start on wonder.
550- Discover Currency -> Trade.

375- Size=5. At last, top of the cities table.
250- Discover Trade -> MM.
1AD - Complete MPE. Settler rejoins city - size now 6.

We are Supreme Monarchy, have 8 techs, and are a long way with MM. Cost is 2.
Romans have 6, incl MM and Pottery.
Egyptians have 5, incl MM.
Greeks have 4 incl HBR.

Swap Trade to Egyptians(4) to get MM, peace, give CB, swap maps. They are opposite corner, and have barb chief on their island.

Give CB and MM to Greeks, get peace, maps. They are north.
Give Trade and Writing to Romans, get peace, maps. They are west.

[Ali Ardavan]

I started playing late last night soon after finishing 161 off. Could not believe myself since 161 late turns took so long. I had quite a long Civ2 marathon this weekend!

My goal from the start was clear: space ship. Unlike others, and as stated previously, I built only one city in homeland. Do not see the rationale for building more. Mapmaking was my second tech and ready in time for venturing out. With 3 (one tile) islands within immediate trireme reach why bother?

The other early decision was whether to move and build on the river like everyone else. I thought about it much and decided that since initially the extra arrow will go to taxes and not science it is not worth it. One thing I did not think about (and should have) is that the river also gives a 50% defense bonus. While I do not expect the rivals venturing out any time soon, the barbarians could have been a problem. I only realized this when in -2350 I got a message that the barbarians wiped out the Greeks. Thankfully I was lucky and have had no encounters with barbarians yet.

The other early decision was choice of government. Given the lack of huts, the geography (everyone on their own island which means little chance of tribute), and the space ship goal, I decided to go for Republic instead of Monarchy. I mapped out my tech sequence right from the start and it worked as planned except that I realized too late I cannot make -1050 oedo year and despite lowering science to the minimum I still got Republic a turn before the next oedo year and had to do a full turn revolution.

 

[Ali Ardavan]

-4000 Building on river is tempting, but given that initially the extra arrow will go to taxes and not science I decided against it. Delhi founded. Going for size 1 settler. Goal is space ship. Given the lack of huts, will go for Republic instead of Monarchy.

[Ali Ardavan]

As I kept playing past -1000 I kept thinking about wonder choices. I have played close to -500 and have not started any wonders yet nor do I have any vans. But here are some thoughts:

Marco
I decided to do without it. The map is known and very small; I knew where everyone is; and everyone is trireme reachable. Making embassies is cheaper and quicker. In fact, I established the Roman embassy while researching Bronze. But the game is full of surprises and as it turned out, the Greeks were wiped out and the English (expectedly) ended up on the main central island which I cannot reach for a while. But overall I still think I made the right decision skipping Marco.

Lighthouse
I decided to delay the decision on whether to build it or not till I have expanded to all 12 tiny islands which are trireme reachable. The main island is far more resourceful than these tiny ones but at the cost of 200 shields (roughly 4-5 settlers) and with many tiny ones having access to whales, I think I have made the right decision.

Hanging Gardens
With the decision to skip Monarchy in favor of early Republic in my game, Hanging Gardens takes on extra importance. Playing at Deity level, of course, gives it extra urgency as well. I am pretty sure it will be my first wonder.

Pyramids
I typically skip Pyramids in favor of other early game wonders. Given that it is an AI favorite, it is usually built before I even have a chance to seriously consider it. With the decision to go with early Republic in this game, the Pyramids is even less important than it was if I was in Monarchy. But with several tiny islands on desert, and the single city rivals unlikely to be building anything, it is not crossed off my list yet.

Colossus
Always a favorite of mine in any game. Will definitely build it here. The only question is when.

 

[Inkerman]

The expression "ploughing your own furrow" comes to mind as I stick with OCC and others build many cities. Meanwhile haleewud reports he is after conquest, and is first out of despotism, whilst the Major and Ali head for spaceships. They have taken different approaches so far; Ali having more cities at 1000BC and heading for imminent republic, whilst the Major has become a monarchy. I am looking forward to reading more about these games.

My own game, continued from 1AD:

60- Discover Mysticism -> Literacy.
100- Complete Gems van. None of our goods are demanded, choose the most valuable. Give Monarchy to Egyptians(3).
180- Notice that Athens now wants gems.
240- Land the van next to Athens. Pirate ship is nearby.
Greeks and Romans go to war.
260- Complete hides van.
Athens holds off barb archer attack. It is Greek chariots attacking Rome.
280- Discover Literacy -> Republic.
Swap Mysticism to Greeks to get HBR.
Van, Gems to Athens, for 203g.
300- Discover Republic -> Polytheism. Revolution. Become Republic.
Keep 2 warriors and dip for defence.
360- Complete beads van. Ship captures barb leader on Egyptian island - 50g.
420- Another van.
440- Give Republic to Romans. Greeks are not so easy to get on with.
500- Greeks have founded another city.

Stats.
Size 7. 169g. 13 techs. Republic. Supreme. 1 route. Cost: 2.
MPE.
2 warriors, 1 trireme, 1 dip, 3 vans.

 

[Inkerman]

520- Discover Polytheism -> Pottery. Swap Literacy to Egyptians to get Pottery.
540- Start on Philosophy. Complete van. Add vans to wonder.
560- Build Colossus.
580- Disband warrior and trireme.
600- Complete ele - for defence. Give Republic to Egyptians, Monarchy to the Romans.
Romans offer 100g to fight Greeks, who have a phalanx sitting outside Rome - we decline.

680- Build marketplace.
700- Discover Philosophy -> Monotheism -> Medicine.

Try various worker setups etc. Might as well grow to size 8 - am halfway, will take 7 turns. Will play safe and build a crusader too.

780- Build crusader, disband warrior.
800- Romans develop Seafaring.

840- Pirates land. Greeks develop Iron.
860- Size=8. Crusader kills pirates.
880- Beads van completes (no demand.)

940- Discover Medicine -> Masonry.
Swap Philosophy to Egyptians(3) to get Masonry.
Swap Philosophy to Romans(4) to get Seafaring, and give Literacy. We have 20 techs.
Greeks(5) are hostile, and don't need our help.
960- Start on Maths.
1000- Complete Salt van (no demand).

Stats.
Size 8. 138g. 20 techs. Republic. 1 route. Cost 3.
MPE, Colossus.
Ele, Crusader, Dip, 2 vans.

Romans - Enthusastic. 14 techs, Rome(6). Researching Maths.
Egyptians - Enthusiastic. 12 techs, Thebes(5). Researching BW.
Greeks - Hostile. 9 techs, 3 cities. Researching Alphabet.

Do we want to attack using our crusaders? So far we have just been concerned for defence against pirates. If we do have an aggressive war we should have built Lighthouse rather than Colossus, as we will need Lighthouse because of the central island. Can we afford that in time, as well as the ships and crusaders? How much should we try to placate the Greeks? Do we give away more techs to keep the world's speed of tech advance going, but does that conflict with a coming war?

 

[Ali Ardavan]

In this period I established Republic as expected and kept on expanding. Initially the Republic was a big help with the riot factor but soon that advantage went away. Furthermore I had the problem of cities that could not produce anything because their single shield was being used for support.

By -500 I had 11 cities and settlers ready waiting for boats to go build two more. That would leave just one unoccupied island other than the large central one. I realized then that I could not put off the decision about Lighthouse anymore. I quickly reached the conclusion that I need it and need it soon. Two other factors contributed to this. One was knowing that the English are there and wondering if I can get any techs out of them. The second was that I realized the southern tip of the central island is a more suitable site for SSC than my capital (though not by much).

-0950 Republic -> Bronze Working. Revolution started.
-0925 Republic established. T8L0S2. 2 warriors disbanded. Only the one protecting Delhi kept.
