LK128 - What the? Who the?

[Swiss Pauli]

@Lee and Tatran - the GE was born after Sal had completed Eiffel, and we didn't have enough cash to rush it.

0 1790 AD mm Seoul: Apollo in 10. Gift resources to Brennus to let his population grow. Denie wheat to Saladin.

1 1792 AD Build extra workshop in Production to get SE in 9. Mt Rushmore in Carthage (6 turns). Saladin gets a great engineer.

2 1794 AD Saladin completes United Nations! (with his GE i guess). Bad news cause his relations with Cathy and Brennus are better than Louis'. But no worry, our relations with Cathy and Brennus are slightly better than Sal's:

Brennus > LK .....+ 13, - 4
Brennus > Sal.... + 10, - 3

Cathy > LK......+16, - 0
Cathy > Sal .....+14, - 1

Spy discovers Saladin is building Apollo in a hammer-poor city (23 turns), he will get Hollywood in 9 turns.

3 1794 AD Vote for LK in the Secretary-General election with Saladin as opponent. Cathy will build Apollo in 23 turns.

4 1796 AD

Surprised? Expected Cathy and Brennus to abstain but allthough Cathy is Friendly to Saladin, she votes for us!
Fusion researched > Refrigeration (>Genetics)
Louis is building cases and thrusters.

5 1798 AD

6 1800 AD Start saving money to hurry a few Laboratories one turn before we get Apollo.

7 1802 AD Why not? I'm asked, as Secretary-General, what kind of election will be held. Let's choose for Diplomatic Victory.....

(If Brennus and Cathy had voted for Saladin, he still would have had only 670 of the required 672 votes)

Here's the final save

 

[Tatran]

We should all thank Saladin to rush the U.N. for us.
Hail to the RNG

Well that was totally unexpected...

Can I get the save before the last turn so that I can get the game into my HOF? That or the replay file would work.


Saladin only have 93 pop points.

Just enter the final save (= last save before victory) and you get the whole story...

 

[Bede]

And out of the blue.....

And a "true" diplomatic victory to boot. Clearly the smoothest move of the game award goes to that Defensive Pact with the Russian.

Ha ha! Didn't expect that at all. Thought we'd end up in a UN stalemate. Cheers, Cathy!
