But I was sure they had some secret technologies in their every city ;) :lol:
 
Can we switch to Leo's? I'd rather get that over Sun Tzu
(of course, if we could get both....)
 
I've been a bit delayed due to RL issues, but I plan to play sometime in the morning. It is late night/evening here now and I really need the sleep, but the game will move on after my breakfast. Just to let you know I haven't forgotten it.
 
Ah… the taste of power. We are strong and we are spreading across the world like a growing cancer and nothing can stop us…. But we are not done yet. We need to convince these people of our supremacy until they join us. We must be strong and draw our power from a solid base. We need to strengthen our core and develop a second all the while prepare to crush these inferior races.

Preturn: Buffalo is building the FP, but at one shield per turn I rush a courthouse there to get it sooner. Also, with the amount of units we have and cheap barracks I switch to Leo’s. A few others are switched to Aqueducts.

470 AD (1): Buffalo start FP again. We now save 76 turns on it, but we need even more shields. There are several settler pairs in our lands. For now I let them be.

IBT: Korea start Leo’s.

480 AD (2): Zzzzz

490 AD (3): Zzzz

500 AD (4): We built Leonardos. I start Entremont on a marketplace as I doubt we’ll be able to get Sun Tzu’s there. Science readjusted to still get us PP in one turn.

510 AD (5): MM Buffalo to get the FP in 65 turns now. We learn PP and I start gunpowder. We’ll teach them to fear us with muskets. I decide not to trade PP as we’ll only get pennies and Chivalry for it. Not worth it, but future leaders need to watch for a drop in the price.

520 AD (6): Zzzz

530 AD (7): Halfcity of Glanum founded in a forward position near the Zulu. How far away is it that a settlement needs to be to not be considered a cultural push? Is it three squares?

540 AD (8): Zzzz

550 AD (9): A few temples rushed for good measure. We need to expand while keeping the people happy.

I decide to hand it on now so that we can get the turns evened out again.

Watch for the price on PP! It has not been traded yet.

The Celtic Empire
 
Hooray: Please swap with me, as I'm not going to be able to get to the game until tomorrow night at the latest

Good job Harleqin! I plan on using Leo's for the world's benefit :evil:
 
Hooray, I can play tonight (East Coast US Time--in about 12 hours).

This is a Got It
 
Turn 0 -- 550 AD

ChrTh III, the Marauder, spits on his ancestral name, as they did nothing NOTHING! to conquer the world. Mere scientists have made greater gains!

THIS WILL NOT DO!

ChrTh the Marauder pledges to do his best to do his worst! :evil:

He looks at research...gunpowder, eh? A worthwhile tool!

We have no deals with either the Aztecs or the Zulu...

We have this little useless technology called 'Printing Press' ... and Chivalry is available? I teach the pathetic Indians how to make paper in exchange for Chivalry, 16gpt and their treasury.

England has this bizarre tech called 'Banking'...I consider briefly I may be able to fund my armies with it, but considering they want to world for it, I decline.

With the extra cash, I speed up Gunpowder research.

We have a strong army compared to both the Aztecs and the Zulu...this is quite tempting...

I fire a bunch of clowns

I see a couple of Aztec Settler pairs, one with an Archer? The temptation is too great...I am too weak... :evil:

Gallic Sword beats Archer, we get two slaves
MDI beats Archer

IT: England wants too much for Silks, I let the deal expire

Turn 1 -- 560 AD
Entremont Market > Knight
Philly Temple > RAX
Atlanta riots without their silks, what a bunch of fuddy-duddies
Chi-Town Temple > RAX
San Fran Temple > RAX
Buffalo riots without their silks, another bunch of fuddy-duddies!
Glanum Temple > RAX

Gallic Sword kills Archer, two more slaves
Elite MDI kills Spear, gets two slaves, and LEADER! Washington builds Sun-Tzu
RAX builds changed
2 archers killed, 2 settlers enslaved. Why build workers?

Because the former Americans are fuddy-duddies, I trade Education and Dyes to the Iroqi for Silks

IT: We lose a Sword and a MDI

Turn 2 -- 570 AD
We complete Sun Tzu
DC starts Pike
Cam Aque > Knight

We Love the King Day Celebrated! The Palace Expands! ChrTh the Marauder ponders retirement, as he has thoroughly outstripped his predecessors in 2 turns! But there are Aztec cities to take...

Xochicholco falls without loss (despite the Elite spear therein). We keep it in order to rest troops (Instant RAX(tm) courtesy of ChrTh). There are two stinkin' resisters.

Wounded MDI dies attacking settler-spear pair.

IT: Some iffy Zulu movement ...
Lug Cath > Knight
Atl Temple > Worker
August Cath > Knight
Ebora Cath > Knight
St. Louis Temple > Worker
Lap Market > Knight
Rat Cor Cath > Knight

Turn 3 -- 580 AD
Teotihuacan falls ... I keep it

IT:
Aged Market > Knight

Turn 4 -- 590 AD
Tlaxcala falls
Atzcap'o'tzalco falls

I trade Wines to India for a slave

IT:
Entremont Knight > Knight
Alesia Cath > Knight
Iron Knight > Knight
Catar Market > Duct

Palace Expands Twice!

Turn 5 -- 600 AD
Movement of troops

IT:
Chi-town Worker > Duct

Turn 6 -- 610 AD
More movement of troops, beginning of attack on Tlatelolco

IT:
We lose an MDI

Turn 7 -- 620 AD
We gain Gunpowder -- dial up Chemistry. We have 1 Saltpetre
I leave cities on Pike as they're cheaper

More movementof troops

Turn 8 -- 630 AD
Tlatelolco falls

Turn 9 -- 640 AD
Entremont Knight > Knight
Lug Knight > Knight
War Weariness is kicking in
Ebor Knight > Knight

IT:
Lap Knight > Knight

Turn 10 -- 650 AD
Attack on Tenoch...eliminate their spears, but we got a bunch of redlined troops...more on the way.

If you make peace, you can get one of the Aztec cities...except for Calix, which says to me there's a future resource there. They're down to 4 cities, so if the WW doesn't extend too much further, you can attempt to finish them... ChrTh the Marauder has his own opinion :evil:

Despite my initial GL, future efforts were futile :( We really need FP, I'd rather get that than Sistine (and if we lose Sistine, I would switch to Verulamium for FP rather than lose the shields .. but that's the player's decision)


Here's the former Aztec homeland:
HRY650AD.jpg


Here's the save:
Die Aztecs!
 
A couple of things:

1) I don't think we're going to finish Sistine in time; a lot of Civs cascaded to it when we grabbed Sun Tzu's. I would recommend leader-fishing as much as possible (like I said, I was lucky that first time, and that was it)

2) No need at this point to upgrade to Muskets; I only did a couple of the regular pikes just so the AI would figure it into its strength calculation. Better off saving cash and upgrading to rifles when they show up.

3) What fruckin' developer decided that MDI was an upgrade over the Celtic Swords? HELLO, two movement points? Remind me the next time I play the Celts to mod the game in advance.

4) I'm taking bets that Calix has oil in its boundaries
 
Excellent, excellent work ChrTh. You're certainly living up to your title as Conqueror.

Got it. I think I can find a little time this evening to play my turns. Eliminating the Aztecs would be good for the Celtic Republic, so I'll try my best to destroy them.
 
Sorry. I got distracted by some stuff and had to put off playing it. Better late than never, right?

Pre-turn: Nothing. Hit Spacebar.

660 AD: Aztec counterattacks: A Longbow kills an MDI, and then a freaking Archer kills one of our MDIs too.
Philadelpia riots.
Ironborough Knight -> Courthouse
Augustodorum Knight -> Library
Gergovia Aqueduct -> Musket
Two MDI make a desperate attack on Tenochtitlan, but die.
An Elite Gallic attacks Tlacopan and kills a Spear.
Lugdunum switched to a Palace hopefully as a prebuild.

670: A knight gets killed by an Aztec Longbow.
Washington riots.
Philadelphia Worker -> Court
Alesia Knight -> Library
Ratae Coritanorum Knight -> Court
The people love the king! Palace expansion!
Vet Knight wins attacking Tenochtitlan. Vet Knight wins, and goes Elite and captures the Aztec capital!


680: Entremont Knight -> Library (Why don't we have any Libraries?!)
Several towns riot from War Weariness. Don't worry my people, those Aztecs will be gone soon enough and you won't have to worry your little peasant heads about it any longer.
Lux goes up to 20%
Vet Knight kills a wandering Longbow.

690: Camulodunum Knight -> Knight
Agedincum Knight -> Court
St. Louis Worker -> Market
English start Smith's!! Oh man, they have Econ! We don't even have Banking yet....
England won't trade Banking, either. Grr....
MDI dies attacking Tlacopan.
Vet Knight wins attacking Texcoco. Vet Knight wins and captures the city.
Elite Knight wins attacking Calixtlahuaca. Vet Knight wins.

700: Atlanta Worker -> Court
Eboracum Knight -> Court
Iroquois complete Sistene's Chapel!
Vet Knight captures Calixtlahuaca.

710: Burdigala Market -> Court
Lapurdum Knight -> University
English restart Smith's just so I'll see the message, and they get to rub it in my face that they have a tech lead.
I hate you Elizabeth!

720: Verulamium University -> Cathedral
San Fran Worker -> Court
Tolosa Pike -> Worker
Curovernum Temple -> Worker
Elite Gallic attacks Tlacopan and retreats. Vet Knight wins and captures the city.
The Aztecs are dead! Yay.

HRY2AztecWin.JPG


730: Entremont Library -> University
Ironborough Court -> Uni
Furtown Aqueduct -> Court
Upgrade some Pikes to Muskets in border cities just to be safe.

740: New York Worker -> Court
Alesia Library -> Uni
Tolosa Worker -> Court
Remote Outpost Worker -> Musket
Glanum Spear -> Court
Buffalo will never build the FP. I switch it to Marketplace.
Rush the Aqueduct in Chicago. I'll build the FP there instead.

750: We learn Chemistry! Hurrah! Start on Astronomy.
Korea starts Bach's.
Chicago Aqueduct -> Courthouse
Augustodorum Library -> Uni
Disband some units in Chicago then rush the Courthouse there.
Trade Chemistry to England for Banking, World Map, and 8gpt.
Trade Banking to Korea for Music Theory, World Map, and 9g.

Next player: Start the FP in Chicago. After that Courthouse, it should get some decent shields (better than Buffalo anyway).
The Palace prebuild might be switched to Bach's. However, I think we'd have a better shot at Copernicus' or Newton's if we waited.
