Igor1, Team I.A.A.

I would focus on hammering the Aztecs until we get them to the table. Allying Zulu with us may not gain much, just replace weak Aztec towns with stronger Zulu ones. If you do decide on an alliances, make it as gpt heavy and as little lump sum as possible, in case he turns on us and allies with another opponent.
 
Was there anything about gov preferences/variants? I mauled quite a bit of aztecs and am about to sign peace and would use the discount on a govt tech. Monarchy will be cheaper since more have it, but republic ... what else to say ?!

all behold the BABBLER speak!!!!
well, monarchy does have its charm, as does the holy republic.
call me old fashioned but i think this is going to be VERY war intensive, if so :king: are cool.
team vote?
mine is for monarchy > commie (with a possible feud pit stop)
 
:p
I'm an inconditionnal republic fan (and an inconditionnal non-republican, but that's another subject) so my vote is there, even if it gets very very war intensive. We can handle WW, and if we can't there's those old beefy Sid players hidden in the roster who can clap their hands and find a solution :lol:
Well, I seriously think we can handle it anyways, hand clapping or no (to relieve the pressure I might have suggested).
 
Here's the hand clapping (although I worry there's something obscene that I've missed) :clap: I have no problem going republic, except that's what we (the impersonal, general we) always seem to do. Been to Fuedalism, done that :nono: Given my drothers (is that a word?), lets go monarchy then commie. I actually find commie relaxing with all the MM and stealing. Then again, you all know my status. :) I'd rather hammer Gandihthan Monte cause of the UU. The Zulu should get run over very nicely by our UU. Finally, WE NEED to establish contast with the other world
 
Roger that, monarchy it is. Will wrap it up in a few.
 
Monarchy often gets slighted because of the Republic's superior cash and scientfic generating power. But with a lot of opponents starting wars I like Monarchy, as WW can be a real pain before you know it. We can pointy stick our way through the MA if needed. Then we can steal our way through the rest of the game.
 
So, once we get monarchy, do we start a new research? I'll assume no, since we have a gpt deal that takes 20 of our 84 total (all in all) gold budget. Unless I hear some furious complaints I'll let us wait until we can research anything at all.
 
will have the turns in tomorrow, sorry for the delay
 
Pre-Turns: Chops are our friends

IT: Lose a warrior on a hill for the sake of triggering an iroquois GA.
Archer nearing our town of Dalandzadgad. Gotta love those names.

T1: Lake Shore Drive (LSD) worker-bis
reg horse promotes off a barb.
found Dyestsetserleg on lib by the dyes

At Tzintzuntzen:
vet horse reg spear 1-0
vet horse reg spear 1-3 retreat
vet horse reg spear 1-3 retreat
vet horse reg spear 1-3 retreat
vet horse reg spear 3-0 capture, no loss besides lots of HP.

IT: 2 indy archers running for our iron in the south. Get booted by the zulu. 3 horses underway.

T2: vet horse promotes off an aztec archer in the woods, 2/5. Dyes connected.
Hiawata is now more reasonable and would sign peace for 80g.

IT: Aztec horse/archer pair coming upon the hills W of Tzintzentzun

T3: 3 towns horse-horse. Monte and Gandhi won't talk. Iros would sign for no less.

Better odds vs the aztecs if we attack, even with the 3/4 wounded horses.
4/4 horse vs vet archer 1-4 retreat
4/4 horse vs vet archer 2-0 retreat
3/4 horse vs reg horse 3-0

IT: 3 archers 3 warriors enter the scene off the aztec road. a vet horse taks 2 warriors, promotes to elite, then retreats to the third.

T4: attack the incoming forces with the 3 fresh troops we've got: 1 death 1 elite at 4/5.
the indian archers reach our iron city, and so do our workers. We're forced to attack them on the mountains (don't want to get attacked on a desert tile) and get 1 prom 1 death.
Calixtiahuaca (Aztec desert-lake city) is 1 archer from falling to our hands.

Aztecs would talk peace, but there is more to gain in the next turn, so I belay this.

IT: English allies with India against us. Perhaps one day we will get a reg english warrior from the NE.

T5: Start roading iron, should have it by T8. Polis starts on settler

Capture Calix with no sweat.

azpt.jpg


Do not revolt, we need to bank up a bit before that, to pay the gpt.
Research set on Engineering, since we might be able to wait 50 for it, while it is in no way discussable to do that with either other techs. And, we are in no position to do any research atm.

IT: Everyone starts TGL, TGW & SunTzu, we lose a conscript warrior to an iro archer.

T6: elite horse vs reg indy archer 1-0
vet horse vs barb camp 3-0
Turn Calix into a 10T worker pump since nothing seriously good will come out of its 1spt before rails anyways.

India finally wants to talk but I don't signs peace since they would almost give us enough discount for mono to be buyable.

T7: Tabriz horse-market
Dalandzadgad rax-spear

inpt.jpg


Hiawata also signs peace, but he's broke, so I don't get anything there but peace of mind.

T8: Erdrenet spear aqua, IA horse-market.

We have 144 gold, which is safe for a 6 turn anarchy at -23gpt. Do it, get :mad:
7t.jpg


MM the anarchy to -19gpt, research at 1 scientist. That means Anarchy will end with us having ±10 gold.

Movement of horses northwards to shiny hills.

Our research crew:
16 strong and one to be healed.
research.jpg


I suggest keeping Lake Shore Drive and Calix as worker pumps, since they won't ever grow much, and we will benefit more from the workers.
 
ewww, those images suck, I'll fix that monday.

EDIT: right.
 
When you fix the images :lol: can we have an overview of the kingdom (including the mini map)? I'm not exactly sure what you were trying to communicate, but it sounds like we're in good shape.

OT - Just watched Austin Powers on VH1, forgot how silly it makes all the old James Bond movies look.

Roster:

Daghdha-back at the funny farm :crazyeye:
M60 - greasing the treads, shooting the sabots
BeF - just played in tongues
Soul - up, doing summer school at the academy due to excessive demerits
romeo-in the lab. "Its alive" (Young Frankenstein). Newleywed bliss :goodjob:
AK- being silly :mischief:
 
Austin is the man :D
We're in ok shape, though we have 3000 forests to chop before we can get the food and gold to research well enough. The wars gave us 2 aztec towns, but we're still up again america and england, through some odd alliances. The minimap hasn't changed much, but I can have one up.
 
Igors laments as depicted by soul warrior

preturn - polish my spoon, grab the tooth brush and get cleaning.
OK - we will get Engineering in 45 turns. fine so far. losing 17gpt meanwhile, not so good. having only 99g. not on my watch.
now i see the fine print.... anarchy. :blush:

1- move. see some indies a comin'

IBT - indians building KT, while Iro's building Suns Tsu's.

2- more moves.

IBT - Persians join the KenTucky fried party.

3- shadow those indians. seem to be going to persia.

we are now making 50gpt. sliders at 0, beaker and taxman dealing with unhappy faces.
no more 4gpt to rome :dance:
switch some builds to allow growth (e.g. a harbour and such)
Erdent was building an AQUA while at size one? switch to worker.
and just for kicks - more border patrols.

IBT - more indo-persian movements

7- Igorpolis settler > settler, Color! me bad! rax > horse,

IBT - get asked to move it, by the mad stuntman himself, shaka the brave.
cathy, standing true to her cold unappealing looks joins the orgy very late.

8- the Academy horse > market,

IBT - Shaka boots us.

9- Shiny Hill spear > worker,
build Desert Retreat > rax,

IBT - English (same cold blood as cathy) joins the orgy. a regular Sodom and Gemorah it is...

10- Erdent worker > rax,
more movement.

our science team is now nice.
igor1_sw_114.jpg

what do we do about our tech situation? we need more lads. were already 9 over capita. but have some settlers brewing.
we are making 46gpt, have 186g.
engineering is due in 35. (up to 50% for 14 turns -3gpt,
