Igor1, Team I.A.A.

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

I'll try grabbing the comp tomorrow for an europal advance.

Zulu first, since they are much weakened, then Aztecs?

 

[romeothemonk]

I would alternate in between the 2 and just keep a unified front.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Pre-Turns: Looks good. I'll go for a conservative round of consolidation, mainly.
Spot a hill-tile choke around the southern black sea - looks like a good spot to send a few of those infantrymen.
I'm not going to retake Mpondo with that one army alone I think, so I'll wait for reinforcements.

Sign peace with Abe, get 2 workers for 20g.

IT: Zulus sign Egypt against us
Our alliance with japan against Elisabeth ends but
Abe and Featherhead ally vs Betty

T 1.
Mostly healing the armies in 0%-flip cities and firing preventive shots at aztec infs. We take the hill choke of Zululand's black sea with 5 infantries - nothing is gonna get through.

IT: Zulu and Abe ally vs Xman
India and Babylon embargo against us
Zulu fails a spy planting attempt

T 2.

IT: Babylon and India sign against Zululand
America embargos us
Iro and Greece sign peace

T 3.
Capture Tlaxcala, which gives us sistine - a flip creator if you ask me. Will be abandoned and replaced.

IT: Both Zulu and Aztecs show a lot of new infantries around
Babylon and India sign against us

T 4.
Lose some elite cavs to redlined infs in the Aztec capitol. Razed and replaced it.

IT: England declares on Germany

T 5.
There is a pile of 50 unused workers on the hill tile W of Dalandzagdad - I just don't know what to do with 'em.

The offense has been going up into Aztec lands because they kept sending infantries across the mountain peeks, which were tougher to break than the Zulu plain ones. Once we've founded another city or 2 in "western Russia", we'll be clear of dangerous 20 defense infs coming about and we can focus on taking everything down.
Btw, Zulu's infantry count has risen from 75 to 89 IIRC, despite my killing everything I could afford to bombard.

Production needs at the moment are greater towards cavalries and artilleries, considering we will keep a good enough count of infantries if they are only 1/4 - 1/3 of our prod, and more artilleries will always help. We're due for an army btw, I've had over 12 elite victories in my turns.

Thoughts: should we invest on Battlefield Medicine? We mostly attack with armies, but it could eventually come useful.

The Save is now too big to be attached normally

 

[romeothemonk]

remember that it is cheaper to steal techs than to buy them. I think we can go commie in 15 turns. Then we steal to our hearts content.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Indeed, and I didn't finish that line because I didn't do the trade after all. I set up the first trade and tabbed to CA2 to look around at other stuff, but didn't get around to trading it actually. Sorry for that, I forgot to erase it - done now.

As for techs, Abe is in the lead, with Cleo and Hammi funding him. A steal-declare is a declaration from the owners, not the thieves, right? If so Cleo should be stolen from and pushed to declare on us against some phony GPT trade, just so she can't fund Abe any longer.

While we're a monarchy, we should rush-buy settlers everywhere it's practical. We can't do it in communism without losing pop. There is a lot of space we need to build on as we roll over the bad guys.

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

agree with all the above.

here is a pile of 50 unused workers on the hill tile W of Dalandzagdad - I just don't know what to do with 'em

merge all the natives and go nuts with cops and CE?

Umm We cannot build Hoover, but otherwise it is ok.
Cannot play myself. I am leaving tommorrow for the weekend, and will be gone.
Tonight, My College opens up against our rivals in football. And this is the first day that I am a faculty here, so I really have to be there, and after the game I won't really be coherenant enough to play.

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

idiots forget the rules all the time. good catch. Good luck this weekend. You'll have more fun, I'm going to inlaws

Are faculty allowed to have fun? the one's i've met are ...

 

[M60A3TTS]

And this is the first day that I am a faculty here, so I really have to be there, and after the game I won't really be coherenant enough to play.

So much for setting an example.

I don't have game access until Saturday if that puts me up.
