Like a Sir!

So I played:

Before starting, I did some micro, fired the spy (Phoenician) and hired scientists instead. Set the cap to starve out the disease, hiring scientists instead.

Make a little trade:

Queued some more wonders and we are no longer the worst enemy of Justinian! YAY!

After a little bit of micro:

And Raphael is born to our illustrious civ! I let him sleep in the cap for the time being.

I make some trades:

We also complete a Wonder of the World:

Justinian contacts us:

Now, to be honest, when I wrote the variants, I was thinking demands for tech, resource or cash, not trade agreements. IMO this shouldn't qualify Justinian for a DoW but I am keen to hear the opinion of the rest of the roster.

Another WoW:

WAR HORNS SOUND!!

The diplo situation:

I think we need to decide which cities are going for legendary. There are a few other things to discuss as well but I just realised I am out of time so will be able to discuss more a little later...

It is not possible at this time to tell witch one will be chosen cities.
but paris and moscow seems to be the best choices.
orlean may be a solid thirs but reims is acctualy the third best culture producer.

for the rest: good job.

For justinian, i don't know if we must dow him but i would really like to DoW asoka ^^
 
I think we should hold off on war. We don't have enough units imo and will only mess with our diplo. If we are going to set Rheims as our third culture city, then I suggest we settle the artist there.
 
Got it. Had a look. Philosophy>CS>paper. See what GP we get next. Continue wonders. Grow Paris. Make nice with Just, explore Justland and maybe find Spain.
 
The Search For Spain.

700. Swop Phoenecian to trireme.
Currency to Just for 85g (he was 2 turns from it).
Dye to Just for corn.

740. St Pete builds Parthenon.

760. Fish to Chuck for gems.
Dye to Zara for 6gpt.

780.
AP elections. Vote for Chuck.

Just tries 2 amphibious swords against Phoenecian. They fail.
I retreat exploring galleys, Spain remains elusive.

800. Chuck is AP resident.
Moscow pops a GS, moves to Paris.

860. We complete Sistine and SPaya.

880. Just is back. 7 galleys outside Phoenecian. Splash 130g upgrading archer to xbow.

900. Just unloads stack 1N of Phoenecian: 4 axe, 5 sword, 3 cat, 2 chariots.
Phoenecian has xbow, 3 axes, spear.

Good luck to us all :goodjob:.
 
Some quick thoughts:

3 pop whip a Crossbow in Phoenician and upgrade the Axe to a Mace. Pull the two Axes from Orleans to reinforce. Even then I fear Phoenician won't hold - lots of cats. Maybe you can pick off some units out of the city. Otherwise it's looking good!
 
I like it. Even if we do lose the city we'll hurt the Unjust Stack. If Unjust spends a turn or two bombarding we have more time to reinforce and we can double whip the xbow next turn.
 
ok i had time to look the save.

For me, the strat is simple:
move all units from lyon to phenicie (including the archer)
forget the galley, put wall in building, whip it with cats in the queue
improve a axemen to macemen
put money at 100% for improve next turn but micro somewhere to get 125 gld next turn.
hide the trimere in the city ( 6 galley > 1 trireme)

Just will take ages to low the defences with the wall

counter attack with all possible free win (macemen for ever). oponents cats must be destroyed if possible.
cats must be used against this stack as often as possible until it is a pile of ash.

after that, a second trirere might be useful to prepare an invasion of just island.

for the rest, i can't help you, i'm only a military advisor :p

just that the lib race is the way to go :)
if possible the paper wonder need to be built ^^
and please proceed to take the just island :)
 
Good luck to us all indeed!!! All in all, I agree with Astre. Verarde, you are up. Unfortunately I am in the process of moving so please accept my apologies if my commentary is less than usual, please don't let that cause the game to stagnate.
 
Hmmkays.

So, I just need a quick refresher on what our plans are, and what my objectives should be for this turn set.
 
objectives:
- repulse justy with plan detailled above
- tech toward liberalism
- build wonder from paper when available

optional objectives (when justy is out of the continent):
- raze or take city on the island
- build the economy stuff
- propagate all religions to as mutch cities as possible and begin to build temples for the mighty cathedrales
 
someone have an idea to where plant the university of sanko?
I would say the default places : paris or moscow but if anyone have another idea...
