Notes: Folks, remember, wait 20 turns for war weariness to reduce.
Celts have Horses. Spanish have Horses. Greece has horses (Actually, it has at least 2). Greece also lacks Saltpeter.
Greece looks like our best bet for a war. However, for a war with Greece, we need to have a right of passage with the Celts - unless we invade the Celts for their horses.

Overall, Greece has better rewards, but the Celts offer a faster, quicker, and more effective war. Opinions guys?

Also, someone has been too-heavily-garrisoning the center cities....Fixed it, and we now run at -8 gpt with 10% higher research instead of -10 gpt.
 
Sorry - did i do bad with the fpalace? Thought it would help with corruption?! I moved some of the bowmen to the front when still at war with vikings but i didnt want to move them all in case the last player had put them there for a reason! (also - because of monarchy, having troops garrisoned makes people happy (upto 3 i think) and we dont have too many luxuries!)
Also - in my opinion i think attacking the greeks is a bad idea. Sorry! ;) The thing is, if we attack the celts or iroquois - our empire gets bigger, but if we attack the greeks then we get a split empire with even greater corruption! Also, if we choose not to finish off our enemy, we can create a nice little weak empire border that we dont have to worry about too much (knowing that our neighbour is too weak to launch an effective attack) - Im thinking about what Russia did during the cold war - nice little weak neighbours acting sort of like a human wall for our empire- seperating us from the rest of the rabble! The worst thing we can do is to create an empire in seperate parts - we should keep it together. BIG THING TO THINK ABOUT: do we reaaallllly want to be giving the celts a ROP agreement????? I dunno - i think we all should discuss this before making a decision. Personally, i would like to vote for going to war with the iroquois! They have horses which is what we want (ok the greeks have 2 but we can only use 1). If we was gonna split our empire I would have suggested the spanish: they have a good wonder that we can use (sun tzu's AOW in madrid)! but i am still gonna use my vote on the iroquois!!
 
War with Celts is probably best at this point.

Are we no longer discussing prior to moves?

I thought we were going 20 turns each after the Ancient Age?
 
Sour: MA was 15 turns, and then IA+ was 20 turns if memory serves.

But yeah. Forgot to take my extra turns, my bad.

Also, I'm against war with Iro for one simple reason: We already have horses.

Check the save, I currently am building a road to horses.

We can war with whomever we want. The Celts look like our best bet atm.

Either the Celts or the Iro will work great, though.
 
But haj???? you mention the greeks and celts as possibilities for war because of thier horses! Anyway - doesnt matter, as long as we have horses. I just dont see the point of a war with the greeks. You said their are better rewards for attacking the greeks: what are they? one more question: why would attacking the celts be better than the iroquois? I thought we were gonna trade with the celts. if we can trade with the iroquois more than we can with the celts then fair enough but otherwise I dont understand why!! (i'm not criticising by the way, I am just asking so that I learn!!)
 
IMO we need keep on conquering ... but lets reduce the war weariness.. but this time we should coax/lure either the Celts or Ironquois( they got Ivory)...are we still in Monarchy? We should get the nations that are close to our border... that will help us protect our core...
Is Sour next?
 
My thought for attacking the Celts now, as opposed to the initial trade route, is that the Celts are already passed their UU timeline. Stoo, we just wanted to prevent war with them while they had their 2x move Gallic Swordsmen. Now that we have Medieval Infantry and Musketmen, the Celts are no longer feared. If we take them out, we have a clear shot at all the Northern Civs.

If we take out the Iroquois, we still have to make a ROP with the Celts to get the Northern Civs, or sail troops up, or fight the Celts.

At this point we can take out either one though, so it all comes down to long-run intention. Another quick point: we know whats beyond the Celts, but we don't know what's beyond the Iroquois. We also have at least an embassy with the Iroquois, and that could be helpful if we choose to form an alliance.
 
fair enough! I would like to have a go at the spanish eventually (for the STAOW) anyway - so i guess your right. the celts look like a good idea then!
 
Conquer the Celts!!! :) By conquering the Celts do we get access to the northern ocean?
 
Anyone playing? I'm finishing a paper that need to be handed in this week.. I'll hopefully be finish with it tomorrow or thursday. I'll be able to play after I'm finished with this ugly paper...

Edit: Anyone playing? I'm bored I'll wait an hour or two and have a go at it, if nobody objects?
 
go for it civy!! (BTW - if your bored you could always do COTM as well: they've just released the latest one about a week ago i think. I have been having a go at COTM and GOTM the last few months now. My scores are actually quite rubbish and embarrasing but its by playing them that ive risen from chieftan to monarch, and they are good if you can't be arsed with just a random civ game to pass the time!)
 
Sourboy do want play first or shall I make the prep for war?
Stoo I've tried the warhammer mod last week,it's nice BTW. Haven't had time to play "Civ3" since Sat.

Edit: I got it, I'll play 15 turns... if Sour doesn't object in the next 5mins
I'll post my save first then the log
Edit: Thanks I'll start playing now.. anything you want me to build for the upcoming war with the celts

Edit finished.. look at p.9
