LK107, AWE, RaR, 25K

[ThERat]

I built heavy horses due to the extra hitpoint, the move 3 horse has only 4 hitpoints as vet initially and since we had no arty support, I felt it was a better chance of survival. now that we have some cats we can change of course.

I was aware of the temples but somehow had no time to slot them in, initially cranked out another settler, then I felt we need to increase spt, so maybe there is time now to slot in 2 temples.
I am guessing we get a lot of things to build soon, we need to slot in 2 mills for production boost, since we will lose the initally boost soon + GA will end.

[LKendter]

Set sci to 0% while affording to push lux up 10% (for Lhasa)

This is a rate cap exploit. You show have found the game resetting the rate back to 40%. We got extra cash due to the game not fixing the rate until after collecting revenue.

 

[AntiTwelve]

Yes I was well aware of that situation w/ the rate cap. I changed it accordingly every turn that I could.

btw, I think we should send a unit S/SE... I really doubt there is anyone there and we could DESPERATELY use such land for the 2nd FP.

550 AD
(IT) Shangri La is added to our wonder list. That is a really nice happy help wonder that stays around a long time.
I get multiple cascade notices.


560 AD
(IT) I get a very unexpected cascade notice that Japan is building Chichen Itza.


570 AD
(IT) Japan completes the Colossus.


580 AD
Golmud is formed, and we have coffee inside our borders.


590 AD
I get to kill 2 Mongol keshiks, but our elite unit only got a slave. (2-0)
(IT) Japan completes Angkor Wat.


600 AD
I kill the Greek hoplite, and our land is free of units again. (3-0)


610 AD
(IT) Japan is becoming a wonder hog and starts Knights Templar.


640 AD
(IT) We complete the Temple of Zeus.


650 AD
I killed a Greek hoplite. (4-0)
Russia gets serious, as there are 5 visible horse archers.

==========================

Summary:
We also want 4 academies to allow 4 universities to be built. The National Library is a nice piece of culture. We can also use 3 arenas toward Circus Maximus. I get academy #2 built in Lhasa.

After the next wonder it is time for the production buildings. I wanted to get more in before the 750 AD cutoff. The 20K portion continues to improve as the number of turns to the goal is down to 596. We are getting close to the 25K win being possible.


The newly explored lands, and suggested city sites. I already have workers irrigated for yellow dot.

Due to the 50K limit we are forced to limit culture. The follow cities will be the exception to no culture outside of Sikkim: Lhasa, Chamdo and Gartokh. We should build no more then minimal culture required to open up small or large wonders.


Additional restrictions:
Armies may NOT be used more then 5 tiles from our cultural borders.


The following leader restriction is in play. A leader may do one of the below:
1) Rush anything in the 25K city.
2) Rush a small wonder anywhere. I expect FP and maybe IP to be about it.
3) Form an army. Armies may not leave our cultural borders.

The game MUST be won by 25K - period.

This is the standard LK AW type game with NO initial trading.

 

[LKendter]

Yes I was well aware of that situation w/ the rate cap. I changed it accordingly every turn that I could.

Does that mean you lower science every turn to abuse the rate cap?

 

[AntiTwelve]

First, good job at clearing the land of enemies and checking the south.

Second, if by abuse you mean lower science to 0% every turn with TGL still in effect.. then yes. But I only did so when our TGL was churning out techs.

 

[Greebley]

Do we really want to build on top of a sheep and lose the food bonus? I would rather not do that (Blue dot).

That was a duh. New dot map below:

 

[sanabas]

got it, won't play until tomorrow

 

[sanabas]

650: all good
660
670: Kill 5 Russian Horse archers, get 2 slaves (5-0)
680
690: Kill 2 Russian H.A., lose 1 of our own. (7-1)

700: Research Banking-->Matchlock
Kill Russian H.A, get slave (8-1)
See a chinese boat, declare
710
720: Barkhal founded, get FP popup

730: Build Knights Templar-->Town Clock
Kill Japanese Samurai archer by Chamdo
Lhari founded

IBT: 4 russian horses pull out of the northern jungle, maybe they're at war with someone else?

740: Gartokh builds our 3rd academy

IBT: Russia wants to talk

750: Research Matchlock-->Pol Philo as a prereq for absolute monarchy and GL2
Japan build Chichen Itza, no cascades
See a roman boat, declare

There's 2 russian 4.1.3 horses and a mongol champion in the jungle to the north, russia was the only AI to send units during that set. I think they've just gone to war with someone, as that stack was 4 horses in 730, moved into the fog, and came back with just 2.

[LKendter]

Barkhal founded, get FP popup

Since we are going for 25K, I think Sikkim would be a good target. Now if we can ever get a leader...

730: Build Knights Templar-->Town Clock

We've gotten all we can before 750 AD. I agree it is time for the production help.

[Greebley]

Well I had to work late tonight and still have Gr7 to finish up.

I will need a skip here.

Note that I will also be traveling from this Friday (September 2) to Tuesday (September 6). I may or may not have internet access and probably cannot play. If I come up during that time, then also skip me.

I too will have to ask for a skip. My comp is in the "shop" (aka the dirty old man down the street's basement) and needs a new video card. I will not be able to play any turns until sometime on Saturday. Sorry for the inconvienence. :/
