JJ02-The Mystery Variants

[sand]

before we start sorry for not re sizing images, i was just o lazt when i couldn't find a way to do them all at the same time on photo bucket.

well nothing perticullary interesting happend my 10 turns. since the war had ended. well the first thing that happend

well this is easy no. well after this him bieng alex i decieded it would be best to get feudelsm for longbows.

asoka asked for open borders well i decied a scouting would be good so yes i also accpeted this trade as we had nothing to lose.


heres what i saw

sadly for us that axe hids a settler.

well i also found a GM that seemed to be going to mecca so i sent him there

seems good enough to me

well heres alex with another i can refuse

at the moment i'm just producing maces, cats and forges for the war againt asoka. we can upgrade with that cash and get going soon perhaps in 2 turnsets.

 

[sand]

anyway i think we can get the rooster back to normal

Roster:
ngraner42
blastoidstalker
sand
Jeejeep-<up now>
spriteSODA-<on deck>
blastoidstalker

OK very good turns blastoid and sand. Looks like Asoka's frontier is quite weak, we just need some macemen.

 

[jeejeep]

Good thing the roster is back to normal again. I'll play tomorrow.

 

[jeejeep]

A question before I play: We have lots of gold. If I used it to upgrade the five axes in Saxon to macemen, we could attack much sooner. Can I do that?

 

[sand]

yes definitly. get them to there knees then hit them before they can get back up. chop all the forrests to rush cats it saxon. i wouldn't keep the settlemeny neext to saxon.

 

[jeejeep]

I played the turns. We're doing pretty well, but I might have made the wrong call on something.

Early: I immediatly upgrade all the axes in Saxon to maces, giving us six. The upgrades brought us down to 527 gold, and I turned research down to 70% so we didn't lose it all too quickly. On the next turn I declared war on Asoka. We easily razed a city that he had just built on the coast in the same location as the one we had razed before. The next turn we razed Lahore to the ground, with the loss of only one sword.

Middle: We pressed on to the next Indian city in the area and also razed it, as it was in a bad spot. The Indian cities that I razed overlapped each other a lot, and I suggest we settle one city to replace those two. We are building a settler in Saxon for that purpose.

Late: We see Asoka's first war elephant, but kill it off with a mace. Another is currently chasing our army as it retreats to Saxon to heal. I have decided to make make Delhi our next target. This may be , as delhi is defended by three longbows instead of the other citie's one, but I think that going backwards a little with our army will make it much easier for us to get reinforcements. After we take Delhi and Bombay, the rest of India should be easy. This path also cuts off Asoka's ivory, so no more annoying war elephants.


How annoying:

JJ02 AD-1292.Civ4SavedGame:
Your file of 500.3 KB bytes exceeds the forum's limit of 500.0 KB for this filetype.

I'll have the save up in a minute.

Here it is:http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads12/JJ02_AD-1292.Civ4SavedGame

 

[sand]

first i want to know how to upload saves larger than 500KB.

well i would personally after we completely destroy asoka i would have a brief building period to add military and financial buildings. try to get liberallism to slingshot military tradition to storm pete and qin. then send in the redcoats to destroy them and alex.

with replaceable parts redcoats come slightly later than cav would if we did it the other way but still faster than before so we destroy them a bit slower since we haven't crippled them first. then it would only take a few redcoats to grap enough territory from the land khans on (i'll refer to as the bridge). then march up and suprise sal and we should have enough land for domination.

things to remember.
peter has cossacks which are arguably the one of best UU in the game.
our GP farm could draft alot of redcoats.
if we don't get enough land then we should easily win diplomatic with all that pop.

PS. i don't like to think i'm fanatical about wars, i like peace. the fastest way to peace is through war.

 

[SpriteSODA]

I see im next. will play tommorow.

 

[SpriteSODA]

Well, i've setup the army needed to the next player- blastiodstalker to kick asoka's ass =P

0: Wow what a mess=P
1: Indian longbow attacks our maceman and looses. our hourse arhcer pillages one of asoka's Ivories.
2: Indian spearman kills our HA=[ Cantanburry finishes Cat->Forge. Karkarum Mace->Mace.
3: Qin demends that we convert to buddhisim. I say no. we cant afford anarchy + he's very traitorious so I dont wanna be his friend=P Done with Engeniering, start Paper. London cat->Pikeman, upgrade the archer at Saxon to Longbow.

4: Indian elphant attacks Saxon and get defeted by our longbow. Christansity spreads to our realm. Whip a theatre at Turfan.
5: York maceman->courthouse, Babashik maceman->maceman. Our military power is rising and asoka's dropping Muhhahhahaha.
6:
7: London Pikeman->Lighthouse. Nothingham Maceman->Longbow. Peter finished Notre-Dam.
8: Our mace kills an indian catapult.
9: Finished Paper, starts Education. Delhi is protected by 5 Longbows.
10: Bombarding Delhi defences. Next player can suicide 4 cats on the city and take it. In the Tech path, I advise to finish education, then philo. We have a shot for Liberalisim.

The Save:

Going to Las Vegas, I will be back Thursday.

 

[jeejeep]

I'm giving Blastiodstalker until tomorrow...

 

[jeejeep]

Sand, you're up.

I will have no internet access from Friday until July 9th. If my turns come up then, I will need to be skipped. Someone will need to post the roster and keep things going while I am gone.

 

[sand]

i'll play tommorow (friday)

 

[ngraner42]

I noticed this has been inactive for a while. If we don't hear from sand and there are no objections, I can play tomorrow.

 

[sand]

sorry my internet broke so i haven't been able to go online but i'll be able to play today.

 

[sand]

well i plaed 7 turns so we can get back to a multiple of 10.

well to start i captured delhi

thats pretty much all that happend in my turnset

salladins settler comes along.

GS born in our gp farm

i couldn't decide what to do so left it to the nest person

our next attack

i also noticed our GP farm not growing so set it to grow to its happyness limit
before

after

the next person will have to micro it back to produce GP points.

overall
all is good. we our on the path to vicory.

heres more on the great scientist

acadamy
well building this is the most likely choice but i couldn't decide which city london would be first choice but our GP farm could overtake it quickly.

tech
the chosen tech is education and would be good on the path to liberalism

asign to a city
this could work out but i wouldn't use it this way

ps. how do i post a save over 500KB.

 

[ngraner42]

You need to use winzip to shrink the file, but I don't think these saves shrink much. If the zip file is too big, I don't know.
