GOZ3 -(Totally Barbaric)-C3C

[grahamiam]

Cont'd:

T6: 1630AD Capture Ulundi and move some bombers in. Also move about 5 bombers to Korean border.

T7: 1635AD Take Hlobane. Settle a couple more cities.

T8: 1640AD Take Mpondo and Ngome destroying the Zulu. set the city as Richmond as the continental rally point since this is the best location for ferrying troops to the Korean front <- I turned this off during the last turn since it was also sending bombers there, wasting 1T, but you should verify that it’s off. The “clear continental rally point” command line is still there when you right click on Richmond. I’ve clicked it about a dozen times but it doesn’t want to turn off.

T9: 1645AD Move almost all tanks and all army’s into position for Korea.

T10: 1650AD Funny, everyone is now Facist. Seems like we have some copycats around
Declare war on Korea. Capture Vilcas, Arnhem, Utrecht. Raze Vilcas, build New lol. Capture Taejon, Pusan, Ulsan (generate an MGL), Inch’on, Namp’o, Seoul, and Hyangsan.
Place 4 tanks into position to take Pyongyang next turn. Also place a cav army and 4 cav in striking range of Wonson and Pyongyang. Korea was falling very quickly so we’re a little spread out. There are 2 bombers in Pusan for next turn. Pyongyang may be in range of the bombers in Paegam but not sure. Korea has only 4 cities left. Need to fill in some large gaps with settlers.
We are at 58% of the land and 74% of the pop. Akots can enjoy closing this one out

Before cone1 I disliked artilleries and before this game I disliked bombers.

Now I'm completely converted

I've got a new laptop and have problem running patch 1.15. Hence, must ask for a skip. Can try to fix it but it would take awhile. Need to update bios in graphic card apparently. So, if next player feels like ready to play, please go ahead and play. Good luck, we are almost there!

i found that the bombers were great also, probably a little too so. lethal bombard is really overpowering. if you had 100 bombers and 6 cav, you could take any city within 10x10 from the bombers. i wasn't able to rely on them that much, though in the Dutch and Zulu blitz, they did clear out the 1st 2 cities. For Korea, the going was a little tougher on the bombers. apparently, infantry resist them much better than rifles. i don't think i cleared a single city but did significantly weaken about 3. the others were done the old-fashoned way: take city, rail thru it, take next city, rail thru it, rinse, repeat. Though the new, uber powered army's did help a lot

looks like microbe gets to finish it off

 

[microbe]

got it, I'll try to play tonight.

preturn: not much. We'll just keep capturing cities and end this game.

I whip many temples.

(1)1655AD:

Capture P'yongyang and get a leader, losing a tank in the process.
Capture Wonson and lose a cav.
Capture Louren Marques.

More whipping.

IBT we enter Modern Ages. Set to Computers in 12.

(2)1660AD:

Capture Cheju.
3 cav armies capture P'songyong.

Korea is destroyed.

more whipping.

We are 60% land, and in 4-5 turns we'll get expansion, but I see no reason not to declare on Hitties. So I start moving.

(3)1665AD: I declare on Hitties.

IBT Sumeria demands silks, I give to him.

(4)1670AD:

Capture Lvriz, Emar, Karhuyuk.
Found New Rusguniae.

We are 61%.

(5)1675AD:
Lose 2 tanks, redline 3 and we capture Alcer do Sal.
Capture Enschede and Jaen.

We are 63%.

(6)1680AD: Capture Asturias. Hitties are destroyed.

We are 64%.

(7)1685AD: I find a very weird thing that Seville has temple for a while but it still has 0 culture. I then realize under Facism until our own pop hits majority we won't generate culture!

Plant spy on Sumeria and we are now at war.

IBT we lose a couple tanks to cav.

(8)1690AD:

Capture Lagash and Salamanca.

We are 65%.

(9)1695AD: Capture Zabalam. We are 66%! Capture Bad-tibira, Murcia, Nagsu, Sagres. We are now 67%.

IBT we lost Salamanca, but it won't change anything.

We have 67% land and 82% pop.

It's my 2nd highest score.

Nice game all, I'm looking forward to playing with you again.

This is the save before victory.

[gozpel]

This was agreat game and great fun.

 

[grahamiam]

nice job everyone! [dance] nice closeout microbe. glad you figured out the reason why our culture wasn't building is some cities

i think it's safe to say this team was too strong for emperor, even with the despot hit. we should try again at demi-god or diety

 

[conehead234]

Good job everyone.

 

[akots]

It was a great game but the team was too strong for Emperor. Should have been at least Demi-God. Thanks all for playing!
