I Can Do Better (somewhat Open SG - Read on)

We should tranport our armies - if only to kill of redlined units like the american tanks we can see here and please lift over the mech inf. - normal wont hold it for long.

Roster:

Armies are on the way, in ships. Unfortunately they can't be airlifted.

I was using the "careless" steal approach and stole on the cheap. Only failed once. The mech infantry just got upgraded after we stole Computers last turn, so they don't have any movement points. But there is enough fresh foot infantry over at the air base to old out for at least another turn. And the SAM battery plus the 4 fighters on interdiction duty should help to keep the American air force at bay. I'm more worried about the mainland. There are no artillery or armies left on our continent. So we might have a hard time repelling a serious landing by the Americans. Thinking optimistically, whatever units we produce per turn should be enough, but some turns may be weaker than others, so watch out. And the tactical nukes are taking a while to build. We couldn't pre-build because we needed all the cannon fodder we could produce.
 
I will get to this on Friday. Thanksgiving is putting a hold on my SG's. Food, yummy. Football, ahhh.
 
IHT: Look around. Sumeria has 52112 Culture, and America has 86229. Queing stuff up in A SG is a good way to piss the next guy off. Mobolize.
IBT: Losing a lot at our airfield. We are killing tanks, but I can't keep track of the scores. TOWs are attacking now. We survive.
Turn 1: Moving a lot of troops around. We lack barracks lots of places. Kill some of the wandering units, send over some Mech infantry.
IBT: I landed Sens Slayers, and they take a bombing beating.
Turn 2: Capture Aden killing 3 carriers, 2 BB's a lot of fighters. America is driving some 40 units to the core of the Sumerians.
IBT: THe Applebringer army dies do to bombing and attacks. I sacraficed it to keep some of Sumeria alive for awhile.
TUrn 3: Ecology is out there. I am thinking Cruise missles might help us here. Capture Kua. Capture Sumer and the Sistene Chapel. Capture Fustat and burn some bombers.
IBT: Lose Sumer, but that was a given.
Turn 4: Capture Damascus, killing lots of Mechs and Fighters. Lost 2 fighters and 1 bomber. Shoot!! NUTS!! Pop an MGL taking Der. Please dont let Microbe kill us!!
IBT: Bombers are hurting us but the bomber count is falling significantly.
Turn 5: Fail on a safe steall of Ecology. Capture Mecca killing an f-15 and a bomber, they have drafted units guarding their cities. Pop another MGL killing a massive tank landing by America. Our first nuke is completed. We need a way to get the nukes to America!!
IBT: We kill a lot on stupid counters by America. America is using Mechs as offense instead of tanks.
Turn 6: Capture Isin (Chokepoint) to cut off America from Sumeria. Kill ships and more bombers. Bomb units and try to clean up American troops. They are everywhere. Raze Denver.
IBT: American Naval bombardment is now the biggest danger.
Turn 7: Steal Ecology from America. Manuervering.
IBT: America wants peace.
Turn 8: Sumeria goes to the Modern Age. Trade Space flight for facism and tons of stuff from Suemria, so that Microbe can't give us facism. Capture Medina. Killing even more bombers. Capture Kufah. The Americans are running out of excess units, we are only seeing new builds now.
IBT: I am hit with a cruise missle. First time for everything I guess. We lose wines.
Turn 9: MOve on Yahama. Almost all our troops are upgraded.
IBT: America lands some large troops on England, and attack my stacks on Yahama. America Gets satalitties. I like Mapstat 2.8!
Turn 10: Capture Yamama as it is a staging place to get to Anjar. We draw something like 18 resistors. Linocln has no iron or coal. Hehehe. Steal satalitites. Swap builds to ICBMS.
OUr nukes are down by the airfields. YOu can attack 1-2 towns per turn. Use artillary, probably whipping some in our new holdings, and just throw 20 tanks at a target.
Microbe can't declare peace on America can he? That would end the game pretty much.
We are making some serious progress now.

Hmm having problems with the saves but Microbe is smart and he will find it.

Nuclear subs...I will need to pop rush them to be of any worth.

He can, question is: does he?

We have some more turns left. America gained "only" 6.310 culture in you 10 turns. Sumeria 1.560. At that rate they will need about 30 turs to get double their culture. We may still stand a chance.
 
You guys really need combat settlers, so I rushed one in Medina.

I didn't do too evil things, as you seem to be on the edge already.

I don't understand why you are not researching Synthetic Fibers. You can get it in about 12 turns.
 
@Romeo: Sorry about the queue, it's a habit I picked up playing solo. It always took much longer than I thought it should to go through all the IBT popups, and one of the things I started to do to minimize this was to queue stuff up. That way I don't have to tell cities what to build each turn, I just have to make sure they're working the right tiles. But I can see how this can be annoying in an SG.
 
I'll be going out of town Saturday morning, so I guess I won't get to play. Please skip me until next Sunday, December 12. I'll be surprised if this game is not over by then...
 
Pre: New Richborough, Thessalonica, New Entremont, Isca and Lizoux changed to nuclear subs that are pop rushed.

1750AD: Medina flips to America.

1752AD: Take Medina back. New Orleans and Anjar razed.

1754AD: New Orleans (it must have been another city - I did not raze it twice :) ) and Miami razed. Washington nuked 2 times. Yamama abandoned. 2 new towns founded.

1756AD: Buffalo razed. We are now strong compared to America.

1758AD: Bazra razed.

1760AD: Detroit razed. New Ratae founded.

1762AD: Boston razed and Ashur razed. We get nuked back.

1764AD: Washington razed (with the UN and probably a ton of other wonders). Baltimore razed. New Tolosa founded.

1766AD: Eridu razed.

1768AD: Nineveh and New York razed (with another bunch of wonders).

1770AD: --

We can either wipe America out completely and then conquest Sumeria. It would probably be faster to make peace demobilise and rush some temples, but it's your choice.

Culture meter: America - 96.835 ; Sumeria - 55.387
 
I am willing to back burner this one to let Danz chime in and play. Also it is the last two weeks of the semester here, and they are getting quite busy.
 
Hello gentlemen,

I'm back after a nice long break, catching up to RL, including an insanely embitious software project that got even more interesting in my absence. I probably won't be able to put in serious game time for several days. Anyone should feel free to jump in. In fact, please do, I don't want to hold things up!
 
I had forgotten about a final at 7 AM on Friday. Should play tonight. It is scheduled after my PBEM's.
