K 7 - The Zany 'Zerkers' (thanx to meldor)

Domination is 2/3 land AND 2/3 pop at the start of your turn.

Still watching with interest :)
 
Ah, thanks anarres - 2/3 of the pop. We are almost there, but I think a couple of aquaducts could help.

Also, does 2/3 of the land include all land and costal waters? Is it 2/3 of settled land or of the entire map? If I remember correctly I think it's 2/3 of the land and costal waters over the entire map.

That will make it harder as there are a couple of unsettled islands far from home.
 
I've been poping settlers to fill up our conquered lands, I'll try to start a few headed towards the empty islands as well.
 
Well my meeting was delayed until next week and I did get to play some last night. Of course I didn't find out about the meeting until I was at the airport so I don't have the save with me. I will play a couple more turns tonight, but my turn came up in LK38 too so...

Teaser: England - Gone, India - One the Ropes, France (!?!) - one razed city, Iroquoi - under siege.
 
and so the juggernaut rolls on...

Get troops in position to take Aztec cities. Xochicalco falls and produces a GL. Declare war on India (during a peace renegotiation they wouldn't give up their remaining cities!). Get Aliance with Iroquoi vs. Aztec to slow them until reinforcements arrive from old America. Tlacopam falls get GL and rush a library (!?!). Raze Dacca, I find a few more sleeping Galleys some loaded with troops. Chitagong captured.
I attack Coventry with an army and kill its last defender but my army doesn't move in? There is only a settler remaining? :confused: Next turn I roll in unimpeded and England is no more. Hyperbald falls. India is sending out settler/pike/MI tripplets to their south. I declare war on France. Karachi Falls. I raze Demascus (French) and a leader is produced. Heh, all french cities on this Island are costal. I decide to sign up Isabella vs. the French to help gas both their armies - I give her a couple contacts.
The Iroquoi make peace with the Aztec so I declare war on them :) . Kohlapur falls. StRegis (Iroquoi) falls. Delhi falls. I am not too happy about all the Knights and Muskets in our army, what need has a Viking warrior for a horse or gun? Give me a large axe anytime. Niagra Falls falls. More Indian settlers rush south away from our advancing army. I finally notice we have a city on the island west of Germany and rush a settler there. Salamanca falls.
Here I have a couple of really bad RNG turns. I lose lots of Zerks to spears - and I mean lots, like ten or fifteen. This slows our offensive and the pulse of troops that started at the beginning of my turn has yet to reach battle. Teotihuacan falls though. It is hard to watch a Zerk who traveled for fifty years die after taking 1 hp off a spear. Bombay falls, good bye India. Here I actually say this outloud and my wife who is rocking our 2 month old has this to say: 'Bye, bye, India we conquered your little butt' :D
Texcoco falls. This was the end of my 20 and I stopped here. But I find myself playing again at 4am! Sleep, who needs sleep? Certainly not my 2 month old son. I go two more turns. Tours falls to the Spanish vultures. My sleep addled brain causes two galleys and associated zerkers to be lost in the ocean near France. Thats a long way to travel for naught. I take Grand River and the Iroquoi are gone.

So there are tons of troops about to hit the Aztec - from there they can go take Japan. There should be enough troops near France to make more headway there within 10 turns. Basically we are closing the door on the rest of the world - it might take two more players. I built Zerks almost exclusively as even a Knight has some problems against a fortified pike in a size 8 city. Also the assault from Galleys is quicker than landing and then assaulting - its all about efficiency. :lol:

Here's the save: http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads3/Berserk-1595BC.zip

Who's up next?
 
I'm not even in this SG, but thanks for thinking of me meldor :love:
 
:lol: anarres: I agree we better finish this one off and you join the next one if you like to!

JollyRoger it is IIRC.

Click to expand...

I just went back to the last list I saw posted.....doesn't matter, there isn't much left. Finish it up Killer.
 
It's been a long time since we heard from JollyRoger.

The table is set for the next player. Our forces are closing in on the distant France/Germany/Japan/Spain territories.
 
preturn: I decide to go for Education in 8 @ -84G, then Astronomy, then navigation. I am fed up with these coastal creepers (Galleys).Alesia as strongest coastal producer starts a preebuild for Magellans. I hope we won't need it though.....

(1) Surprise surprise, we are the wealthiest :lol:

We capture Tlatelolco and kill an Aztec leader :D Some more Aztecs die, and a few French. I WANT ZERKERS :cry: not Knights! France has Pikemen :(

(2) Spain is really giving the bad news to France..... nothing new....

(3) moves, moves, moves..... Aztecs have such incredible luck..... 1 Spear takes out three Knights.
 
(4) Take Rheims, cut all but Paris from Spains access.

(5) The Aztecs look real bad by now.... hehehe.....

(6) 48 troops go for Japan now. More follow. We need new histroy book, the old one keep talking about Aztecs... never met these guys...... the Spanish have a 13 Pikemen stack underway... I would like to take a few cities before these guys are back in them.....
 
(7) Japan will hardly know what hit them.... They have coastal cities only which I plan to raze.... conquest is the option I want to go for :D A leader rushes Barracks in Lyons.
Bursa contained a Japanese leader. Why do these idiots sit on them so long? We are not going to let them build a wonder after all :mwaha:

I keep Nagasaki to land our many Knights.

(8) France makes peace with Spain. Not that it will do them any good :mwaha:
One lonly Zerker takes on an entire army and kills it :D That's why I love thme so much.


Our Zerk in action:

4 Knights die, not even taking a single HP off a Musketman. Probability: less than 0.4%. I HATE that!

Oh well, will bring in zerkers. Some more towns taken.
 
You have noticed (of course) that I left you with nothing but Zerkers being produced. We love them.

I am glad you are enjoying the Japan buffet I left for you.
 
OK,

So the Knights were my idea and a bad one at that...
Just thought that they maybe a little quicker than Zerkers but...

Anyway just thought I'd say that I am still looking in here and if the game lasts that long am looking forward to my go after meldor and this time I will be a little quicker and update the thread more :o

Anyways Zerker kills Army! WTG!

Musketman kills Knights... :hmm:

Melifluous
