GOZ-2 (Workers unite-stuff the Emperor)

Rubbish Ankka, we all think we know it all and then suddenly someone tells you different. In another game C3C, I thought we could hurry wonders with miltary leaders :lol:

Just play on and let the leaders coming, you are using exactly the same tactic as I did...well, not on 2hp Inf, but close enough.

For the team, I never got 4 leaders that quickly and it was all bombard and pick targets. Right unit and the right attack. I saw Ankka tried the elite sword, I did too a couple of times.

This tactic is even told by SirPleb himself in the WarAcademy. And I just tried my luck, over and over again.

And here all you can say: Great job!

Pfft! :)

But realistically, even with 10 elite wins per turn, I shouldn't gotten that result and I was stumped. In other games you play with similar tactics and never get a leader.

I think now I should've saved one for palace jump, but ah well...I was in a craze.

India and america sign peace.

Abe commands 2 troops of infantries into our borders.

Loco cav > art.

Bombard the 3 infs in our lands to 1 hp.

Bombard Miami and destroy the factory, bombard all infs in town to 1hp, kill 1 or 2 citizens. It is down to size 4 now, so I decide to wait until next turn so we can hopefully get to attack a size 1 city with minimal defenders.

Vet cav kills 1-hp inf.
Elite cav kills 1-hp inf.
Elite cav kills 1-hp inf.

IBT: Osman comes to us and asks for aid in the war against France, but I don't think they need help, so I disagree.

Ohwell. Load 3 Elite* cav's and a vet cav into the army, which is called "Army of Ducks"

Elite cav kills 1-hp cav.
Kill the rest of the intruders with 2 cav armies.
 
I forgot about the palace jump totally. :blush:


And the elite sword reallt whacked those cav's. :hammer:
 
Well done Ankka.

Palace jump can wait until we secure the north. There are at least three American cities that should fall first.
 
Rofl, there's the hype of getting a leader. Now at least Ankka knows how it feels :)

Great job evading those pesky americans!

I still think we should raze and resettle to avoid flips. But who the heck ever listens to me?
 
We don't have enough artys to bombard both invaders and cities. We need many more.
 
Stuff the invaders for a couple of turns and go forward. What can they do? Pillage? Big deal...
 
Calling Mr. Rik, Mr Rik.

Sam's waiting to play it again!

"As time goes by..."
 
IHT: Most of our citizens want the wars to stop. I agree; America will get tanks soon. If I can get to tanks as well, we'll have a good chance to capture America in 20 turns.
Start with conquering though. Cav army to attack Dallas.
Army kills 2 infs. 3 cavs flee from Inf, but the 4th kills him. 5th cav defeats remainging cav and Dallas is ours. Temple ordered up.
Battle of Miami. 4/4 cav Vs 2/4 Inf -> victory and promotion to elite. 2nd cav dies, redlining the Inf. Next cav captures Miami. Temple ordered.

Going for New Orleans with cav-army. It is redlined, defending ELite inf is 3/5.
4/4 cav Vs 4/4 Inf -> we loose; Inf 3/4.
4/4 cav Vs 4/4 Inf -> we loose; Inf 3/4.
4/4 cav Vs 3/4 Inf -> we flee; Inf 3/4.
4/4 cav Vs 4/4 Inf -> we loose; Inf 4/5.
4/4 cav Vs 4/5 Inf -> we flee; Inf 3/5.
4/4 cav Vs 4/4 Inf -> we loose; Inf 3/4.

4/4 cav Vs 1/5 Inf -> We loose; Inf 1/5.
4/4 cav Vs 1/5 Inf -> We loose; Inf 1/5.
4/4 cav Vs 1/5 Inf -> We win; Cav 3/4.
4/4 cav Vs 1/4 Inf -> We win; cav promotes. We capture New Orleans, kill an American Great Leader. And we capture a cannon. Use it to fire at some American Ironclads. ** hit **

New Orleans starts temple.

The American city of St. Louis holds their last horse resource. We still 11 fully healed cavs available, plus some partly healed. The Cav army has only 2 movement points left; it can't attack.
All units can attack Denver though; but it's on a hill. Tough choice. Try a Spy-plant mision with the Americans for 90 gold, so I can investigate the cities-defenses. Unsuccesful. Decide to go for St. Louis.
5/5 cav Vs 3/3 Inf -> We loose, Inf 2/4.
3/3 cav Vs 3/3 Inf -> We loose, Inf 1/3.
5/5 cav Vs 3/3 Inf -> We win, cav 2/5.

4/4 Cav Vs 2/4 Inf -> we flee, Inf 2/4.
4/4 Cav Vs 2/4 Inf -> we loose, Inf 1/4.
4/4 Cav Vs 1/3 Inf -> We loose, Inf 2/4.
4/4 Cav Vs 2/4 Inf -> We loose, Inf 3/5.
Down to our last cav; there are still 2 Infs (and perhaps some cavs in St.Louis. Last cav goes to pillage Rubber resource near Chicago.

And the save (1550 AD)
 
Well done, as always Rik. And you do know how to protect the lady :rotfl:

Got it. Will try to post before Friday evening.
 
Get out the anti-anxiety drugs, Bede is having a panic attack!!

<A Close Run Thing>

The beginning:

Alles in ordnung. I'm a little baffled by the discrepancy between spending on science and the delivered beaker rate. We're only getting 86 beakers for every 100g spent. :hmm:

Decide the army in Teno can wait for first tanks.

I'm also baffled why Abe the Avaricious came down on us; he doesn't seem to be missing anything important to fuel his war machine or the happiness of his people, at least not what we can see at the moment. There is oil and rubber in the far north.

Keeping with the money/happiness theme established by RIk completed builds at Teoti (Commercial Dock) and Zalco (hospital) are followed by cop shop (war weariness) and commercial dock (money) respecitvely. Infantry build at Taco is folowed by police station.

Income has jumped to 419gpt.

I can buy Motorized Transport from Gandhi for oil. He's got three harbors so the deal looks reasonably safe. Take the fossil fuel and build some bombers Mahatma.

He wants our map and 690g for spices. The added contentment is well worth it.

The other partners in the campaign against Abe don't have more than one harbor and I don't want to risk our rep against his navy and air force.

France, Greece and India have learned Radio.
We could self-research for 1730 out of 5000 in 5 or buy it for ~3000 cash. All three are at war with Abe so his only source for Radio is us. Leave it on the table for now and turn up the bunsen burner in the science lab. Battlefield Medicine is available as a UN pre-build in either Teno or Caliente due in 9 from now. Buy some furs from Alex for 850g to prevent any happiness problems during the race to the UN. Radio due in 5 at 100% science.

Cost of radio is now 868g self researched. We can steal it from France with whom we have the most lucrative deals (for her) for 1500 which will come back to us in less than 2 turns at our income of 900gpt. Send in the spies and we get Radio...

We can get Fission in 10 turns and spend 1130g out of 1927. Battlefield Medicine is due in 10 at Teno which is a perfect 50spt, leaving another ten turns to finish. Greece's UN is due in 37, so we have 17 in hand. Abe still lacks Radio and no one else has started the UN.

According to MapStat no one holds 25% of the world's land. Top three are Aztecs at 20%, America at 18.5% and Greece at 14.5%. If all goes well there are only two candidates: Azteca and Amerika.....
Even if Greece builds it the only other candidate eligible by population or land area is...Azteca!!


Diplomatic situation:
Aztecs are at peace with all and entangled with none other than commercial agreements.
France is allied with Ottomans against America.
Greece stands alone against both the Zulu and the Americans.
Zulu have a Mutual Protection Pact with America and area t war with France, Ottomans, Greece and India.
Ottomans stand alone against France, Zululand and America,
Indians are allied with France against America.
