Oh, a HUGE thank you for that SW!!! I'll have to open a game and look for the button to click on.

So, you could keep a captured town for a few turns, if you chose to, decide the risk is too great and dump it quickly. Excellent new tool for my toolbox.

I will be out starting this evening and will not be back until Sunday. This game has stalled and we need to get it going again. Admiral K, what's the word??

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

eight turns done. the worker moves are taking forever. English capital is iron fist. we've got most of alaska. It will be up tomorrow night. Opinion on stopping war with abe if possible? he declared and the bombers are playing havoc with the armies.

 

[gmaharriet]

Sorry, guys. I've decided to back out of this one. I'm in Bede's training game and it took me 3 hours to play 6 turns at about 1225 bc with only 4 towns. Using that as a time benchmark, it would take me a week or two (or more) per turn on a game this big.

I'm grateful for the offer and your encouragement, but I think I'd end up just sucking my thumb and hiding under the bed, never to show my face again, if I attempted this. I'd love another opportunity when I learn a bit more and have more confidence in my skills. My humble apologies for wasting your time.

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

no problem, it's taken me a week to play this.

harriet - time is of the essense NOT
relax, and do what you gotta do.

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

me wife was cleaning and threw away my log, so I'm working from memory

We're still at war with the remains of the zulu and aztec though they've scattered to various islands. I have a minor expeditionary force on the british isles. We're hindered by our lack of a navy right now.

I tried to safe steal flight from America and they declared, eventually bringing in the japanese. We cleared the land bridge and have a bridgehead in Alaska. After losing 2 armies to bombers, I ended the war. We'll need to send flak and fighters when we go after them again.

Africa is quiet.

There are garrison infantry scattered all over. They could be picked up and used if we get pressed. I think I woke all the available stacks.

Tanks are due in like three or four.

The MM isn't good. didn't have a lot of time to tweak it.

I'd get the tanks, build the navy and then start cleanup on the remains of the Zulu, Aztec, etc. we're going to need marines at some point.

Hey AK, we can't research any more techs. Next Player will have to turn off research to stay within the variant.
We researched our 4 techs.

 

[soul_warrior]

after we get tanks, i dont think we will need any new techs

 

[M60A3TTS]

Next Player will have to turn off research to stay within the variant.

I'm not sure who is up, but I can take it if no one else is ready.

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

@m60 - take it. just don't be too brutal in your critique of the state of the empire

 

[M60A3TTS]

Playing now. Greece off the African mainland. Flight stolen from America. See if we can start the North American campaign up.

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

make sure u take the flak to NA. nice work. hope the tanks are working out.

 

[M60A3TTS]

Here's the minimap after my 10.

 

[M60A3TTS]

The save at 1675AD

What I did on my 10 turn vacation:

Mobilized. Declared on Greece. Destroyed a bunch of towns on the mainland. 2 flipped. Burned them upon capture as we were not amused.

Got one MGL, built an army.

Drove Greece off the African mainland.

Safe steal of electronics failed against Babylon.

Careful steal of flight succeeded against America.

Started building a lot of bombers.

A lot of irrigation in the African desert.

Ready to start war on America, made immediate attempt to steal electronics from America and as expected, it failed and America declared.

Tore through Alaska and NW Canada.

Captured American towns as we sliced southeast.

Destroyed the English.

Took Washington.

Haven’t had a single bomb dropped on us. I suspect I moved so fast that the cav armies caught the American bombers on the ground.

We need more settlers as I’ve gone so fast there just hasn’t been enough time to build that many. Babylon and America up electronics and that's it.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

That puts me up, not sure I can play this tomorrow, but I'll try.

 

[soul_warrior]

mighty powerful blitzing M60.

the MiniMap has some gaps in the center of asia. maybe get a few border expanders over there?
and a few (10? ) settlers for the african and american fronts could be very nice.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

1308 units means 218 cities? say 38 are either producing stuff or too unimproved to do anything, that leaves us with 180 cities for settlers, which is 6 settlers a turn in average ... we should be good to go

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

I'm unsure of my schedule for the next few days, so if I can grab it I'll post a 'got it' right before. Otherwise, SW, feel free to grab.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Alright, I'm officially AWOL until further notice, sorry boys

SW - UP
