Gr4 - AW Demigod, Standard Continents

[Greebley]

We have sufficient units that I think we can raze soon. Note that we may want to consider a "funnel of doom". That term came from a SirPleb? game where the units have to pass many armies to get to their target. Each army takes a pot shot so they arrive with 1 hp.

This would be useful if there are lots of rifles. Lesser defense units can be handled just by killing them. We may not need it.

[Bezhukov]

Got it. Will play this weekend.

 

[ThERat]

forgotten this game, bez?

 

[Bezhukov]

No, RL just came back with a (good) vengeance. Y'know, sunshine? Interesting opposite sex member? Job? That kinda stuff. Sorry I've got to cut back on the old SG's, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. this baby's pretty well wrapped up anyway, and it looks like we have plenty of capable captains to guide her home.

Good luck!

Not sure, but I think this means Bez is dropping and I'm up.

I'll go ahead and play, but if Bez also posts turns you can use his and skip me since I'm out of town Tuesday (4-19) and Wed (4-20).

 

[Greebley]

Good luck Bez. Glad to have ya to this point.

I assume Bez means he cannot play any more. Go ahead and play Handy.

Bezhukov, confirm that you retired. If life gets simple and you want back in, we can put you back into the roster.

 

[Bezhukov]

If life were ever simple, I wouldn't have to play Civ.

I am indeed retired.

IBT
Fearless Hittite LB and MI launch an attack our infantry army.
Learn SM and Nationalism which we can complete before we finish the pre build.

Turn 1 1305
I turned off animation Turn it back on if you want it.
Tweak to +9 gpt.
Also start some courthouses in cities with engineers. I usually hire specialists in any size 12 city that has over 24 food. If this is a bad play let me know.
If we get some time there are cities with extra food we could go back and mine.
Upgrade cannon
Raze Kadesh
Mine some plains

Turn 2 1310
Raze Adana

IBT
HUGE roman SOD kills 2 infantry and redlines the infantry army. Chitchen holds and we get a leader on defense.

Turn 3 1315
Raze Incan city near the ivory.
Only a trick of attacks at

Turn 4 1320
Resting armies

Turn 5 1325
Set Continental rally point
Pop second army this set

Turn 6 1300
Research to zero since ToE is done on the IBT
Raze new Mayan Capital
Upgrade a bunch of spears and horses

Turn 7 1335

Jag Den switched over to Hoover
Research to Spies
Third army appears – we now have 14 total.

1340
Red lined Roman galleon sinks two of our Frigates.
1345
Another leader

1350
Most of the armies are in Chichen healing for an assault on the incense. There is a settler under the infantry stack 1 tile inside the Mayan borders near the incense.
The attacks are down to a trickle of threes and fours so you should be able to go on offense big time.

Notes:
You can switch scientists to tax men for a turn & back again. It’s midnight and I was too tired to do it. 7am flight tomorrow.
The important worker stuff is done. I just assigned them to mountains to keep them busy and did not pay attention to efficiency this time.

** One of the armies has room for a fourth cavalry

[bed_head7]

I have it. Probably have it up Wednesday evening.

 

[Greebley]

Looks like we are in the final round of turns. I don't see the AI lasting a whole rotation of 40/50 turns.

 

[bed_head7]

It is 1390 AD. Nothing happened that couldn't already be guessed.

I assume we wanted conquest again, but do we want to play on to marines?

We are at 50% land. With some quick settler pumping, we could be at domination in about 3-4 turns without a problem. Do we want to do that? I don't really want to play on to Amphibious Warfare.

By the way, I had planned to have the game just about wrapped up by 1400 AD. As a result, empire management suffered a bit.

 

[Greebley]

Do you have the "barbarian fix"? It also makes the AI move units around. You can also try bombarding a unit it might go into town.

[Edit: If my idea(s) don't work, I am perfectly ok with domination. I don't want to wait for marines. Killing off all but that island and then getting domination is close enough to conquest for me as well.

 

[handy900]

Domination is okay by me. While I like conquest, waiting around for marines is boring.

This game was a lot of fun, and well played by the team. Good map, good play.

 

[Greebley]

Actually, I guess I am up. I will try my suggestions and see if I can get conquest. Otherwise it will be Domination.

 

[handy900]

Do you have any plans for a GR05?

 

[ThERat]

greebley, just finish it with domination, it's alright. we don't need to wait for amphibious attacks.

Do you have any plans for a GR05?

yes, good question since it seems GR AW games are somewhat special. the last 2 were relatively easily won (of course we a good team )

 

[Greebley]

I would like to try winning demigod without choosing the best of 4 starts. My thought was to choose one with a good looking initial start (probably cows), but make the choice based on the 4000 BC save rather than 50 turns in.

What Civ would ppl like to play with?

What Civ would ppl like to play with?[/QUOTE]

Portugal for their excellent UU and awesome AW traits.

Really I don't care.

 

[bed_head7]

I think I may need to pass if the next game starts up soon. For the next three weeks, I am in AP testing heaven. Practice tests between now and the real ones in all of my classes, and then the real thing(s) in a week and a half.
