I think now it's better to just burn the AI towns, that way units will dry up, we have so much arty, we do not need to fear anything, I guess Romeo will take care of that

IHT: Not much
IBT: Couple of English landings.
Turn 1: Decimate the landings. Decide to burn dallas, killing some 9 american troops. Will move to wipe out the English, then sweep around to the Americans.
IBT: Not much.
Turn 2: Raze birmingham, killing some pesky ships. Capture London as it has Sun Tzu's.
Turn 3: Clearing up some landings. Kill random stuff, lining up to take on the english core.
Turn 4: Espianage comes in, swap to economics at high cash. Capture Nottingham with the SoZ and Copes. I can't bear to torch wonders.
Turn 5: Cincy burns. The large American stacks are completely gone now. A little manuevering and oxford burns. A city riots as I move MP out. We should be good
I have to stop here as this took 3 hours.
The American stacks are gone, as I whacked ~30-35 units. I decided to go for econ so we could upgrade all our cannon and some of our other troops. I have an IA build going, a SPHQ build going, and a Smiths/ToE build going now. There is a lot left up to the next player. This game has been very fun and I do not expect to see it back. (Duh)

I'm totally confused about the roster. Can somebody post an update, please?
If it's my turn, then i might need a swap.
Me too.

Good thing there was a roster, otherwise I wouldn't have known I was up. I have it. I will probably play five.

Pre-flight Were at 61% land. Only combat settlers from here out.
1380 Set up to take out two English cities. I automate our workers on the mainland. They all run and hide in cities. Theyll just be cleaning up pollution from now on. Hope no one minds. Kill two landings behind our lines.
IBT - SPHQ completes. Thats a 100 gpt bump.
1385 We take Dover.
Kill five defenders at Warwick and we take that city. I have to railroad through the mountains to get our artillery in range of Liverpool , but we get it done. Our armies can attack over the mountains and
Two against one. Now it is almost a fair fight.
March on San Francisco with our fast movers. Start a slow mover campaign towards Babylon.
1390 Take San Francisco and Newtons
IBT Econ=>Medicine Los Angeles is founded in the ruins of Liverpool. Switch over to Smiths.
1395 Destroy Los Angeles. Set up to take out Babylon. Get a leader
1400 Get another leader
Take out Babylon
Capture St Louis and Magellans, lose a cav army in the process.

1405 Attack Philly, kill the two defenders, one a rifle and raze it.
Rinse and repeat at Houston.
OK, how did some one make it so all the new units on the main land automatically go to our shipping port. I need to know that trick.
1410 Push into Eridu and a single cav army takes it out.
IBT Medicine=>SciMeth
1415 Onto Nineveh.
Babylon is rolling over. @ Ashur
1420 Raze Uruk
Samarra is razed.
At Ellipi we need the road network.
Abandon Dover.
1425 Press on into America. At Miami, lose a cav, but raze it.
Heres whats left
Red arrows are suggested attack routes
Thanks for a great game guys. This one is over in less than five turns.

Our power curve is nearly moving horizontal now. Five turns max for the Rat. Can you do better than that Rat?

I think the hardest nut will be Washington with many units (I will maybe steal war plans to find exactly what we need to do to finish fast).
The rest is more a matter of road connections rather than enemy units.
Anyway, this will be a glorious victory. We have come back from 0:4 to finally beat the AI. A long way really. And I learned a lot from those games. Of course, I enjoyed this very much as well. Where do we go from here, handy? Pangaea? at DG? impossible?

If I can finish in 4, what do I get?

Pre-Turn
ok, sci methods is due in 2 and we have ToE prebuild, not that it matters
change Entremont to IA since I want to know where the enemy units are, techs aren't important anymore
swap some builds to Cavs to get victory faster
IT lose 6 workers that were not covered to Babs LB
1. 1430AD
plant a spy with America, this is the once mighty army of America
get the workers back before eliminating the Babs
defeat 3 inf and Atlanta is no more, move units towards Buffalo and new York, huge stack of arty approaching Washington
IT we get sci methods, go for corporation
2. 1435AD
steal Wm and see more RR done, that will help
steal plans and see the following
Washington: 6 inf
New York: 3 inf
Buffalo 3 inf, 1 guerilla
the other 3 towns, 3 inf each + 1 single guerilla
raze Buffalo trying to avoid using armies
attack New York, but army badly wounded another army bypasses it and advances Chicago
arty will be in range of both New York and Washington next turn
IT Americans send out 1 inf and 1 guerilla and defeat 2 cavs, but they will be missing in defending their towns, all the better
3. 1440AD
steal plans again, expensive but very valuable
shell New York to pop 5, defeat 4 units and raze it
shell Washington
raze it since there are roads around it
New Orleans is now within range of arty, shell it (it has only 2 inf)
raze it, attack and raze Chicago, America is down to 1 city, but it is hard to reach this turn
found final push to get closer
well, it looks pretty bad for America I'd say
abandon SF to be safe we do not get accidental domination win

finish the job
the powergraph
the replay shows several wars on the other Island too
we get a score of 9042, pretty good for an AW game
the final picture thats makes me wonder? how did Firaxis know?
Sir Bugs, what do you say? 5 turns? i did it in 4 not that it mattered
Congratulations to the Team for a great job, of course a little lucky with only one opponent on the Island deprived of resources, but we are at 1:4
