IN my currunt game i build the hoover.have around 7 bombers 7 fighters. around 22 tanks and about 7 armies and i have upgraded all the infantry to mech inf.U did see that stalingrad can build armies( it think its stalingrad). i defeated the french and english in the medevial and industrial age u might have found that out by seeing the city names.I think i do have a spy in germany. Guys any ideas to post an 550mb save game.Just wanna show u that my currunt si is quiet better.

As for the VAnilla i do have CIv 3 complete but the game screen becomes black when i run the game.I can only hear the sound.thats why i am playing PTW.

I saw the army build and I switched it something. Will get armies later. You did not have a spy. In fact planting spies has been crap 1 in 7 tries.

The IA was not build, hence no spy.

When you said in my current game, I thought that implied you started a new one. I see it is the same game, played to 1940AD.

Anyway you said you are doing better, but actually your are not getting the most out of things. This game demands that you get lots of workers and get those tiles improved.

When you are approaching Steam, you want to have plenty to rail the empire quickly. Rails mean the AI cannot invade you with any success.

I gave you are list of most of the changes I made and I suggest you look at it and think about some of them and why I did them. Mind you I am not saying this is the only way or even the best way, only a better way that you were going.

I waited the 20 turns and then attack germany in 1900AD. I already had road nealry all the non moutain tiles and rail all the cities together. Railed all the coastal tiles, so I can bring atries to bust ships or invaders.

Railed all worked tiles in the the best metros, so they get max shields and food. Hoovers was done as well.

I have taken one city and am now cleaning out the scores of units that flooded into the empire. I let Germany bring in some friends as I can handle all the civs alone at this point.

I am used to AW and making no deals and fighting scores of units every turn, if not hundreds.

The thing is not that I am going roll over Germany after I whack their incoming, but that I am trying to maximize poduction.

I posted that log for you to get some input and things to consider. Really trying to play out the game from here is not going to do you much good, only maybe fun.

To improve, I would suggest going to smaller maps. A map this size is just to easy for a human, not a real good template for playing. A std map with 8 civs on pangea or contients is better.

I would suggest posting the 4000BC and playing no more than 60 to 80 turns. Maybe post a bit of a log that shows what you were doing and why.

Post the save for the stopping point. Then it can be looked at and suggestions given, while they have a real impact on the game. The 4000bc can be used by someone to play and make a log to see how you mite change and what it would result in having.

This is one way to get much better in a short time frame. You are doing well, as many players would have posted games that could not even be won. You are in a position to win.

What you want to be is in a position of domination at this stage. That is because the fundamentals are needed as you move up to harder levels or variants.

Anyway I hope this is of some value to you. that is my goal to see if I can help others enjoy the game and get better, as long as they are interested in doing it.

Well u can try to win that game.I am intrested in seeing a crushed germany though. iam trying to win it myself.

While i am planing to start an AAR.Warlord diff ,standard pangea. I am expecting u guys to advice my at that time.I might strt tmrw or next week. acc. to when my exams are.

Thnx for the advice.It helped quiet a lot. i am planig an attack on germany myself. ill devide my forces to seven parts each commanded by an army.5 will go offensive while two will defend untill a point till germans cant attack my empire. After the Other two armies will go for the kill.Ill put the northern empire to economic production while southern to military for reinforcing my losses.

Any others playin this other than VMXA
I have never got a production in a city more than 30. I got 60 in this game. It may not be a big deal to u guys.BUt its the first time for me.

100 shields is not hard to come by in a strong city, but th eland you have is not exactly wonderful. The thing I hate to see is the cap does not even have roads on all the tiles it is working.

 

[vmxa]

I got Fisson fo rmy free tech and learned that no UN. so I now see only Conquest is allowed, so gave them no chance to win at all.

It is 1938AD and I have cut Germany in three pieces. I have thier only oil now, so no more Panzer or Mechs or planes. Not fair really. I just got MI's and tank only a few turns ago and have only 1 tank army, but 13 all together.

So they will be gone in a bit, I have 5 or 6 settlers stacked up use as I raze teh rest of their empire for slaves.

All flat tiles are railed, except the newest areas that were captured and the jungle. I have cleared about half of it an dhave railed a bunch of hills.

Looks like this:

Sorry never tried to put more than one up at a time:

One more shot:

BTW once the MPP expired, I stopped research. I stole all the rest of the techs to finish the age. Got Fission for my free tech and traded that for Comps and Amphip and Rocketry.

After I realized the AI was no longer able to research, I started back up on Eco. The endless rounds of wars finally drove them all out of democracy, so they are not able to make much headway on science.

I am in the early 50's now and have finally gotten my first tank army and have cleared all the cities behind my borders and have begun on the pocket at the south end.

It is slow going as they managed to trade for oil and still have panzers and mechs. Leaders came fast while fighting infanry and cavs, now I get none as I have to use armies. I got about 12 quickly.

We will have to see when they decide to bust out the nukes. I am not going to speed it up, by building the Project though.

I will probably stop after taking out Germany as it is too much work to invade all those civs. I doubt there is enough time in the game anyway, so it would just be a histo win.

Germany down to last 10 cities all on the west now. I have 3 tank armies. China has some troops left form making peace with Germany. I will ask them to leave, once a) borders pop and thy have no place to go b) my current deal ends.

Maan how did u go that far into german territory.
U took the my 100 mechs and cossacks to attack or what.

COOL job Steamrole them

 

[vmxa]

It is 1963 and I only have about 50 MI and 50 Cossacks and I did not use MI to fight at all. I don't use any stand alone attackers now, unless the unit is redlined and I attack with an elite.

I did use 20 or so Cossacks to start and I did not have Mechs at that point or tanks, just the 3 armies you left. Well 1 was not worth anything on attack and only coverd workers and such.

I did not inherit many arties either, but I used what I could. Mostly on defense. It is just a matter of focusing your attacks and takng down the towns, not damaging them and letting them recover.

They are down to 7 cities and won't be around much longer. It is taking me longer as I am installing XP on my old machine. The irq limit was preventing me form installing devices and the boss lady wants to use it.

In 1973 The Bismark was remove from the contient. I will take out his island town next turn. Modern Armour in 3, if one was inclined to go after the others.

I have made a about 8 to 10 transports which is plenty to invade these lames.

They have only managed to research Adv fligth and Amphip and one has Space Flight. I did not do any off them, but have Eco and soon Syn Fibers. I have an empty army waiting.

Since my SG is waiting to resume, I had time to visit the Sultan. I brought along 20 armies and some friends. I had nothing better to do as all tiles had been improved and 200 slaves were sitting around.

I used about a dozen to make airfields and flew over some more friends, mostly MA's. Osman was willing to fight, but he did have to retreat from his capitol and about 4 core cities on 1 first day.

I fear the people of the Ottman empire will not be pleased. I guess it does not matter as they will not be around long anyway. I am making 5 or 6 settlers every now and then to replace the ugly towns that they built.

A token resistance was put up when I founded my beachhead. Maybe 15 tanks and some Mechs and a few of those funny cavs. So lame that the govenor did not even use any of the cav armies or mech inf to defend. Just the damage MA armies.

I dont think the others will be as hard as the germans were all are tech backwards.R u planning to build the space program?or R u making a conquest victory?

 

[vmxa]

You only allowed Conquest victory as near as I can tell. Thus Space will not launch, so I am not even researching it, unless I have nothing else to do.

That is why I said you gave the AI no chance to win. They cannot even conquest at Sid on a huge map. I will turn off domination at times to force myslef to play all the way out, but I know the AI will only win via UN or Culture, unless it kills me early in the game.

Ottoman empire was matching the Americans, who were ahead of the Germans. This was because I was killing them. All have made it to the modern age, except India.

I would have had to go all out on mobilization to have any chance at Conquest on this map from such a late date. Time will run out before then.

I could have gone harder, but no reason to it.

I finished of the Sultan and have visited the friendly land of Chairman Mao. I saw he was a big weak and I helped myself to 6 or 7 city on the first pass. He was even willing to help me come up with another leader.

I was going to spank Ghandi for his lack of gratitude. Here I have been giving him tech and even an MPP. I offered him another tech and 2 lux for one of his many spare lux and he declined.

But China was closer, so later for the ingrate. IIRC it is 2007.

 

[vmxa]

I having been working on my new PC, so I have not done much, but the mandatory retirement is closing in. I have take all of the China's land. They are OCC, until next turn and then they history.

I eliminated Ghandi along the way as he was already OCC. I am waitin to invade Uncle Sam for some cover ships to get back to cove the transports.

As long as I am working on the new rig, I will plug alone on this as I do not want to concentrate on something right now.

 

[vmxa]

I did get to 2050 with the Mongols left and the Vikes. America was half gone. I think a conquest could have been done. I would need to break the deals and go hard on warmonggering.

The Americans and Germany would be the hardest the others would go fast.
