Gr7 - AWM vs 30 civs on a giant map

[Sir Bugsy]

Here’s an update halfway through evening number four.

1896 (con’t) – We start out by capturing Birka in southern Scandinavia. In Ottoman land, We raze Edrine.

IBT – Miniturization comes in. Stealth next. We start the Internet so I can report this game on CFC.

1898 – Thanks to air power, we capture Chartres without firing a shot. We only have an archer to kill in Rheims. And we also have this nice event:

We keep the city and form an army.

We capture Trondheim and the Pyramids.

We also capture Copenhagen.

Over in Azteca we raze Tenochtitlan.

In Ottoman Land – we raze Uskudar. Abandon Istanbul, since there are a lot of Ottomans who would like to get it back.
1898 (con’t) – Capture Molde. I guess everyone needs to see what southern Scandinavia looks like.

We also capture Sapporo, Vadso, Odense, Tromso from the Vikings. Paris, Orleans, Lyons, Tours, Marseilles from the French.

Oh, you might not know what southern France looks like:

Mopping up…

Found Karen in honor of my musical collaborator. We’re at 58% of land, 94% of pop.

We have at most two turns left.

IBT – Get a leader on defense over in Ottoman Lands

We turn most of the Ottoman and Aztec forces into glue or molten metal.
Oslo flips.

1900 – Start by capturing Bursa so we can get our leader into an army. Raze Iznik.

Capture Tlatelolco in Azteca.

And so ends the fourth day.

lurker's comment: nice job in razing cities. kinda funny a MGL is called cornplanter though

 

[Sir Bugsy]

1900 (con’t) - Our air power allows us to waltz into Ise.

Recapture Oslo. Capture Karasjok, Risor, and Farsund from the Vikings. They are down to one city which I can’t get to this turn.

Drop off an army next to the Indian OCC.

Capture Toulouse, Avingnon, Amiens, Grenoble, Poitiers, Dijon, Besancon Bayonne, Cherborg, Strasbourg from the French. The French are also an OCC. So the Indians, Vikings and French are OCC. The Aztecs have five and the Ottomans six. It will probably take two turns to wrap this up.

Found Leix in Ireland. Victory on the other continent. Arctic Village on ours.

IBT – Copenhagen and Reykjavik flip. The Ottomans found a city to the north. A volocano in Greece erupts.

1902 – Capture Rouen. That means…

Recapture Reykjavik and Copenhagen. Capture Hakodate.

And the Vikings are gone.

Create a bunch of airfields and airlift MAs over to Ottoman land and Azteca.

Capture Ganges…

The Indians have a settler in a boat.

In Ottoman Land – Capture Aydin so I can get some bombers over. Raze their new city Ankara.

In Azteca – Raze Teotihuacan, Abandon Tlatelolco.

1904 – Bombard and capture Texcoco. Raze Calixtlahuaca. Capture Tlaxcala and Xochicalco.

That’s it for the Aztecs. Pull the same trick and build several airports in Azteca and ferry some units to Ottoman land.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

@ Ansarking – I didn’t really raze too much. I kept most of the cities for cultural boundary reasons.

1904 (con’t) - We find the Indians’ new capitol on the other continent.

The Indians are destroyed. One against one.

In Ottoman Land – Air force eliminates defenders in Izmit and we raze it. The Ottomans have settled another new city, Salanika. That is quickly dispatched.

Get two more leaders cleaning up stray units. We set up for two more cities. The Ottomans have a mountain range across the waist of their island. That is slowing us down.

One more turn.

 

[ThERat]

great, this will take a few minutes to complete, doesn't it?

 

[Sir Bugsy]

Actually a little longer than a few minutes Rat.

1906 – Capture Konya, Antalya,
Get another leader.

Looks like these mountains will keep the Ottomans alive for one more turn. It certainly isn’t my choice.

 

[Ansar]

lurker's comment: dont you guys sometimes worry about culture flips? or do you capture them back before next turn ends?

 

[Sir Bugsy]

At this stage, I don't worry about anything.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

1908 – Osman doesn’t last long

I fortify everything else and wait through the automated workers.

Final Save: http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads10/GR7_-_Final_Save.zip

Here is what you get:

That didn’t go into the hall of fame. Final score was 9500 plus.

Thanks to all who participated in this game. I think it was a good send off for Civ III.

 

[ThERat]

everyone participating in this farewell to CivIII. A pity LK lost interest halfway through.
As usual in such a game, the initial part was most interesting, latter part was merely mopping up the enemy. Fun though.

ps: no hall of fame entry since it's a modded scenario.

 

[Greebley]

Great game all.

I still have some desire to try a 31 civ pangea start with no food bonus. Maybe in a few months after Civ 4 newness wears off.

 

[markh]

Wow, it is over. Thank you for letting me participate. Great game indeed.

 

[Ansar]

lurker's comment: 435 hrs?!wow, tat sure lasted long...Congratulations!

 

[Own]
