Hirachi 1 - A Standard Emperor Game, Random Everything

[Joker.ru]

Hey guys!

I have a question for DocT: i am currently playing a monarch RaR 1.02, with Russia,
anyway i got lucky with SGL and Oracle = Monarchy by turn 46 (Just as u guys did in DocT5 ). I discended into Anarchy right when i got the Mon. Saved. Ended this turn,
and by some miracle in the beginning of the next i was already asked to choose the government. So i didnt have ANY Anarchy time what so-ever! Just curious is it normal, or is it some bug?

Thanks!

P.S. BTW how many SGLs i can get during a game???

 

[Doc Tsiolkovski]

You did have one turn of anarchy. Research/wonders technically happen at end of turn, choosing Govs at start.
Max# of SGL = # of techs - number of starting techs .

Got it....

 

[Hirachi Dinavo]

Bede, where did you get the silver city screens? I would like to have those.

Turn 0, 1000 BC:
Change Camulodunum and Richborough from warrior to worker.

IBT: nothing

Turn 1, 975 BC:
Settler headed for the cow in the nw

IBT: Alesia warrior -> warrior
Chartaginians settle south of Lugdunum

Turn 2, 950 BC:
nothing

IBT:
Camulodunum worker -> catapult
Richborough worker -> worker
Augustodurum curragh -> curragh

Turn 3, 925 BC:
Found Eboracum near the iron. Production set to catapult.

IBT:
Entremont settler -> settler
Alesia warrior -> warrior

Turn 4, 900 BC:
nothing special

IBT:
Verulamium catapult -> temple
Agedincium curragh -> temple

Turn 5, 875 BC:
nothing special

IBT:
Alesia warrior -> warrior

Turn 6, 850 BC:
nothing special

IBT:
Lugdunum catapult -> temple

Turn 7, 825 BC:
Found Burdigala near the cow in the nw. Production set to worker.
Two carthaginian settlers try to sneak past Lugdunum to settle in our lands. I'm going to block them out.

IBT:
Entremont settler -> settler
Alesia warrior -> settler

Turn 8, 800 BC:
Found Cataractanonium in the flood plain area near the french border. Production set to temple.

IBT:
Hannibal demands 63 gold. We can afford this. Don't want no war right now. Once the iron is connected we will get it back.

Turn 9, 775 BC:
The number of carthaginian settlers is now three.

IBT:
Blocked the settlers and they turn back.
Camulodunum catapult -> temple

Turn 10, 750 BC:
Nothing special

Overall: initialized temple builds in border towns. Raising the science funds to 100 would have saved us about 5 turns but we would have run negative funds. With the cash spared for warrior upgrades we will be set for some minor conquests shortly.

Made a dotmap with a large number of suggested city sites, mostly without priorization. One settler is close to the west coast to fill the empty space and prevent foreign settlers from trying to get that spot. That one's marked with a circle around the dot.

I'd say we should do some filling before we settle the far nw.

The save

Soul Warrior is up. He might consider waiting for DocT though.

settings seem ok, so press enter.
it seems we have quite a few forigners on our soil. i say string 'em up!!

1-Augustdurum curragh > warrior (mp), boogie a bit with Hanni's lads.

2-greeks want 512g for construction. thinking. decline for now. we can pointy it out of them later.
kick out the french warrior camped out of Agedincum.
Entremont settler > settler, Richsborough worker > cat,
Build Lapurdum > cat,

3- it seems that we have a settler invasion drom the south. last count shoed me about 5-6 mixed nationalities.
greeks have Pyramids in Athens.
Alesia settler > settler,

4-we are up on India. but they have construction. i take it and give Poly + 150g.

5-Verulamium temple > rax, move some, i slip and lose some points in the tango contest, as we have 2 settlers going NE.

6-as we have settlers ONE tle from our capital, i give them the boot.
Entremont settler > settler, Augustodurum warrior > settler, build Small finga on the peninsula.

7-Lugdunum temple > rax, Agedincum temple > rax, Burdigala worker > temple,

9-Delhi now has a wall. see if that'll stop us other than that - boring Zzzzz

10-Entremont settler > settler, Alesia settler > warrior,
lose our indian curragh, trying to reach a 6 tile island uke:

summary - i got better at teh tango. only one indian settler pair within our borders.
started roading the iron, started some warrior builds.
Monarchy due in 3 @ +48gpt.
we now have 1270g. i suggest changing some builds to warriors, or rushing some after we revolt.
we have 17 workers, 18 warriors and 3 cats. seems like less. but we have an average military.
we need more barracks. and can build 13 more units before support starts costing us any.

The link to the save doesn't work!

 

[Hirachi Dinavo]

Never mind, I opened the uploads folder and found it.

 

[Bede]

@Hirachi.

You can find the Metallic screens in the Creation and Customization forum. It is a self installing package called C3C Metal Interface.

 

[soul_warrior]

[Hirachi Dinavo]

530 BC (1) - Camulodunum builds warrior > warrior

490 BC (3) - Discover Monarchy. I overthrew the government.

Greece has a lot of tech, but few cities. Declare war on them?
And shall we buy tech from France or force it from the Greeks?

Save - 350 BC

Thanks, Bede

 

[Doc Tsiolkovski]

Greece has a lot of tech, but few cities. Declare war on them?

Techs? Who cares for those techs when we're huge .
Now, if you have the choice to fight Civ A with 20sp Hoplites, Civ B with 30sp Pikes (NumMercs), and Civ C with Spears....I'd go for Joan.

 

[Hirachi Dinavo]

Ack, forgot about the hoplites.

 

[Bede]

Peking Palace Menu:

So it's 1 from Column A, 1 from Column B and take them all from Column C?

One Maid of Orleans Omelette, coming up!

GOt it.

 

[soul_warrior]

bede, just remember that a greek Souflaki, when made well, can rival any french cookery.
(its a sort of greek grill, with vegies and yogurt)

 

[Bede]

Ahh, moussaka, souvlakia, feta cheese, two bottles of retsina and a turkish coffee and raki for a finisher.

 

[Bede]

There's a song about this:

In 310BC Alexander completes the Statue of Zeus, hoplites and AC, nasty!
The Gallics are on their way to France. It is better ground anyway.

And they are going straight to Paree as Joanie is a culture vulture and I want the capitol out of her hands soonest and it appears easy prey

In 290 the Gallics have reached the jumping off point and there are protective garrisons in the outer towns, thin, but there.

In preparation for the war trade Monarchy to Joan for Pholosphy and Map Making and 9g and she goes into Anarchy.

Launch on Paris in 270 taking the hill above the city.

And in 250 the assault on Paris begins.

That was easy:

Three dead French spears and no losses to the Celts and Paris is in our hands. Start the marches on Avignon and Marseilles and the FP in Cataractorum.

In 230 Learn Currency and trade it to Hannibal for Code of Laws and 39g.

In 210 Avignon collapses.

The battles for France continue sucessfully as town after town fall to the advancing Gallics and the French counterattacks are lonely warriors and archers beating themselves to death against fortified Gallics.

In 190BC Alexander has just wasted a whole bunch o' shields.

The Druids have taken advantage of increased funding and research Literature producing a Great Leader who will finish the Great Library in Entremont on opening.

The former French town of Orleans celebrated its liberation with a street party. Now has a couple of wounded Gallics for MP duty.

There are settlers enroute to fill in the French lands as we capture the cities. The Greeks are sending settler pairs across the territory from Corinth north.

 

[Lullaby]

Turn 0, 150 BC:
not much to do right now. Changed production in Paris and Marseilles to temple.

IBT: French want peace. Thanks, but no thanks.
Entremont finishes its production of a Great Library. Not that anyone is interested in books here. We could even sell them all.

Turn 1, 130 BC:
A brave swordsman unit attacked a french warrior on a mountain and through the bravery of its leader, a man named Vitalstatistix, came out victorious. The great leader went on to Orleans to rally an army of swordsman around him. The unit has been named after the general whose decisions made the victory in the Battle of the Paris Mountains so flawless.

Hurry a temple in Paris.

IBT: nothing special

Found Lagavulin even farther north.

IBT: nothing special

Turn 10, 50 AD:
Cataractonium finishes its build of a spectacular palace. Noone except the Emperor shall be allowed to enter.

Suggestions:

There are enough troops near the last french city to take it quickly. But we could simply sit there and wait for the volcanoes to do our job

Trade for luxuries is possible with India.

Only few city sites left, all in tundra except for one desert city in the west.

Here are a few:

And some more:

Finally
