And make them turn off that darn Ravi Shankar!

look, bede, he's laughing at you! go get the

 

[Kaiser_Berger]

Oh now thats just great

 

[Bede]

I resemble that remark.

Willy Nelson and Tim Bentley are singing "Whiskey for my Men and Beer for my Horses" in Chittagong tonight and the residents of Calcutta are wondering where the fire brigade went to.....

Going to have to buy the spices from Bismarck!!!

Turns out Otto has access to saltpeter outside Athens (once Greek, now German), so might as well swap him saltpeter for his curry and his treasury (25g+15gpt) and his maps.

My fingers are twitching when I see mines on game preserve tundra!

There are a handful of turns to prepare the war against the Indians.

The curry buy kicks off WLTSD all over the Empire and the Palace gets a dome.

810AD
WLSTD continues to grow and the Palace gets another wing even er

830AD
Indians are massing troops at our borders north and south. Two turns before a deal expires....

Turn off reseach when MilTrad comes in.

840AD
Indian troops cross the border in the south and a War Elephant appears out of the jungle north.

Shift some troops around and upgrade the first Sipahi.

India sneak attacks with the WE at Bursa.

850AD
Moving on Chittagong and Calcutta.

Indians attack our cannon in the mountains at Chittagong, kill the defending muskets and destroy the tubes.

860AD
Sipahi counterattack at Bursa and the GA begins.

Attack Chittagong and wipe the defenders down to a single spear which retreats a Sipahi.

Sipahi converge on the south east and remove most of the Indian invasion force.

870AD
In a fit of pique because uber pike at Calcutta destroys the sword army after bombardment sack and burn. Start a settler out of Yakutsk to resettle.

880AD
Picking off invading Indians. Sell a world map to the Celts for 100g then use the cash to rush muskets.

890AD
Picking off Indians and setting up to take Chittagong.

Germans destroy the Aztecs. And the Turkish people build another wing on the palace.

900AD
Carthage builds a village in the Northwest near the ruins of Calcutta, beating our settler by one step. I am tempted to pull the plug on war with Carthage, but restrain the impulse.

Take Chittagong.

Look like our invasion of India is going to go counter-clockwise. Their sneak attack didn’t exactly catch us flat-footed but we were a little short of the proper offense. Had to spend a certain amount of time and energy picking off the Indian invaders, which got a whole lot easier as soon as the Sipahi started coming in.

I resemble that remark.

I defy that hearing!


So Ghandi did it again? I don't know how many games I played and he did the sneaky move. Well, Bede sorted it out and we almost have our own continent.

1 - gozpel
2 - grahamiam
3 - CarlosMM
4 - Bede -> Just played
5 - Kaiser Berger -> UP
6 - Sir Bugsy

 

[Bede]

Ever the optimstic goz! There are only about 12 Indian cities to go......

Odd thing is I only saw one heffalump, the rest have been MDI and pikes.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

Well played Brother Bede!
Hyderabad has the Indian iron source. Target number one. After that we may see more heffalumps.

 

[gozpel]

Heffalumps against sipahis?

Yeah right! I would even ignore muskets and rush sipahis for a few turns.

This continent is ours within 2 turnsets.

 

[Bede]

Yeah, only rushed a musket when short cash for Sipahi. Them babies are costly.

 

[carlosMM]

I am back and able to play now

can I please be put back into the roster?

btw, very nice going in the meantime

 

[Kaiser_Berger]

I've got it.

 

[Kaiser_Berger]

Preturn- Nothing much

T2 920

In taking Bengal, we get Suleyman. A Sipahi army makes this war over before it started.

We also take Hyderabad. We capture many slaves, take away their curry and repalce it with and send them on their merrry way.

T3 930

Bangalore falls.

T4 940

Karachi falls easily. More is handed out.

T5 950

Lahore falls.

T6 960

In taking Delhi, we get Selim from an elite knight. Another Sipahi army may be overkill, but I don't care. The power is irresistable

The Indian capitol jumps to Bombay, which we then capture.

T7 970

Madras is taken. India has two cities left on the island.

T8 980

Jaipur is ours. One city left.

T10 1000

I think Sipahi might be a bit overpowered....

Summary

Well, we have our own continent now. Even with our ******** workers we have this one in the bag.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

Kaiser - Nice job!

I have it, although I won't get it played today. Have to eat turkey.

I suppose we ought to set up to talk over the rest of the world.

 

[gozpel]

This continent is ours within 2 turnsets.

Sure.

Well done KB.

Did you fill up both armies?

 

[Kaiser_Berger]

Yes, two full Sipahi armies are up and running, with the Pentagon in progress.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

Pre-flight – 1000 AD – Change several builds to caravels and rush them. Our armies have three units in them. They won’t be transportable until galleons. Carthage is the next logical target. Especially since we don’t have any deals with them.

I buy Physics from Bismark for 952G, furs & incense. Bismark is just magnetism from the IA. That’s OK.

1. 1010 AD – Upgrade an elite* knight.

IBT – Germans build Smith’s.

2. 1020 AD – Hurry two more caravels.
3. 1030 AD – Declare war on Carthage. Capture Nora at the loss of an elite* sword.

IBT – We lose a caravel, a musket and a Sip. Kill several MDI, two horses, and sink three galleys.

4. 1040 AD - @ Rusicade – Kill the defenders and capture the city. Kill several troublemakers just outside the city.

IBT – 23 Carthaginians move next to Rusicade.

5. 1050 AD – Kill four invaders. We’ll have 15 defenders and there will be eight level 4 attackers.
I steal magnetism from the Germans. Hurry two galleons to get the armies across.

IBT - Rusicade holds. We lost five units. Germans build Bach’s.

6. 1060 AD – Kill several invaders. Get an army across.

IBT – Kill several attackers without losing a single unit. GA ends.

7. 1070 AD – Killing invaders we get a leader. Form a army, load it with Sips. Keep killing invaders.

IBT – Nora flips. We lose a musket.

8. 1080 AD – Nora is autorazed. Change St Pete to a settler and hurry it.
@ Leptis Magna – Lose one sip. Capture the city. Hurry Rusicade’s library

9. 1090 AD - @ Hippo – Generate another leader. Load it with Sips and capture the city.
@ Theveste – We lose a Sip army. 12 straight to a redlined musket.
Ferry some workers over to Rusicade and set them loose.

IBT – A Carthaginian MDI is dropped off in India.

10. 1100 AD – Kill the invader.
@ Carthage – Kill the defenders and capture the city.
@Theveste – Get another leader. Capture the City. The Leader creates a Sip army.

After Action – We should be able to wrap up the Carthaginian island within the next two or three turns. Wait to load the fourth unit into the armies until we get them over to the last continent. We probably want to take the Celts next. We’re at 39% of the world.

You can safely steal another tech next turn.

WooHoo, sipahis on a world cruise.

Play this tomorrow.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

WooHoo, sipahis on a world cruise.

A world tour!

 

[gozpel]

Dang it! People has been coming all day, just to enjoy my "family-sizzle"!

Aussie - NZ cricket test on TV and my burgers is a lethal cobmination to any gaming on the 'puter.

I'm pretty whacked right now and can't say I will think of CIV first thing in the moorning.
You have to wait.
Or whatever.

I kill Duncan one of these days, he brought a bloody barrel of beer (50 liters! - 82AUD)

I think I got the best part of half of it....

The neighbours will have a talk to me tomorrrow as well, as far as I understand things. Thier fence is kinda wrecked. More job for me, righgt?
