HC-03: The Ottomanation

[mice]

That all sounds on the money. I dont mind waiting till Friday becuase despite the exodus I'm finding this game interesting.

So Roose it is. In that case we should just build milt and jails,temples, gather happy resources from non targets. We could turn off tech at tanks maybe.Edit; second thioughts we should go to flight for bommbers.

Also how a bout a draft city on the new continent with globe. not on our cont. because of logistics.

Another thing is to keep our navy up to scratch or all our production capacity could be stranded on our continent, which would be very very bad.

I think stuge and Pigswill are on temporary breaks for a little time, but I would like to finish up soon. I may start one more SG with some variant( I have an evil idea), just because there is still no official annoncement on BtS for mac

All of your ideas sound good as well. I don't use the draft abuse as much as I should, but for my first real prince game, this is going well! I mean, I've been experimenting a bit with select leaders, such as Frederick, Elizabeth, and Hannibal, but nothing has gon this well, especially with Mehmed.

, but nothing has gon this well, especially with Mehmed.

Yes, for me Mehemed always turns out bad - hope I didnt jinx the game.

I'll just wait for your turnset. no hurry.

I've been taking a break from all civ (even off-line solo) so there's no way anyone should take my non-participation personally.

I'm still on vacation from civ but thought I'd drop a line for clarification.

 

[Hackapell]

All right, here goes. I took Cumae on the first turn, then took this for peace:

He would not give up any techs, but at this point, he's a non-factor. If he vassals to roosy, we can kill him along with Roosy. We have a large army (31 units) and reinforcements are on the way. Even though war ended on the first turn, I played 10 turns just to bring us to 1700 AD
Later, I noticed that Toku had some money, and proceeded to relieve him of it.

That got him to "pleased", so I opened borers and traded clams for wheat. when we declare on Roosy, he might join in.
And Monty picked his target, finally:

Much easier to attack than Freddy, after we've weakened him, but if he capits, Monty will be our target after Roosy, as we will still be short of land and Pop for Dom. the former Roman provinces were whipped and are now productive, and I went Corporations with the idea of grabbing Assembly Line and then Tanks ASAP. At the end I traded steel to roosy for Scimethod, because earlier he had asked for it for free, so he was close anyway.
mice, it's up to you if you want to declare now or wait for more troops , which are docking near Nanjing.
I also burned off a GM on cash, and our next GP should come from IStanbul shortly. We go 2550 gold from the deal, so we can upgrade or deficit reasearch/culture for a while.

The save:
pigswill, stuge, post when you're ready.

Without looking at he save I'd say it's better to keep the money for the upgrade to infantry than to do deficit research. Aug is just a step away form Infantry. We hit not a moment to soon. He could give all that to Roose.

Got it.

Agreed. Also, should we go for artillery before tanks?

 

[mice]

Hackapell, I didnt want to play on without an idea about National wonders. Should we go for globe for drafting ?

If we do I think Bejing is good because it has food and production to get the Globe built 18 turns.

There's no city on th other cont. that will build it wihtin 40 turns.

How about Iron works? Erdine is 39 turns. That equals 8 cannons. Probably better to build IW and head for tanks and airport.

We just need good navy to get theunits over the ditch. It's a short trip so should be no problem.

 

[Hackapell]

Your nats sound good. Put WP is Ankara, and see if you can let it grow some more. That will ensure a powerful navy and army.
If we intend on sticking in nationhood for a while, the globe is a good idea. We may need demo for the emancipation

 

[mice]

I played just before ten turns , then plunged us into anarchy for three turns. I thought it was rude to give a save in anarchy so played on to clear it.

I went state property becasue we needed it, and we are building our Nationals.

State prop gave us a full ten % on the tech slider.

Roose has a good few rifles, so we are better to hit with Infantry coming from IW and globe, with more jails.

The civic switch was representation/free speech/State prop.

I figured we can go back to Nationhood when we want to draft. Meantime we get a tech boost to get to Assembly line. I think we should continue to Assembly line now and think about democracy after that when we are attacking. We will need the slider on culture anyway for a while.

Better to build canons and jails and draft the inf when we can get them.

 

[Hackapell]

I'm sorry I've let this slide off the table, as I was inudated with end of Trimester work. I will play to the end unless there are still peope with me here. After the end of this game, I will probably wait until I have BtS to start up some new varient games.

 

[stuge]

I'm still here.
