LK145 - Lee, your a PITA

[ZPV]

Got it. I might be able to play tomorrow; otherwise Wednesday evening for sure. Am I allowed to declare war on other civs, so long as I am making a protracted effort to escort some troops to Hammurabi's islands?

Also, what happens if Hammy vassalizes to someone? And if I already have a peace treaty with that someone?

 

[LKendter]

No other wars, as Izzy wants Hammy DEAD.

If Hammy becomes a vassal, then we must declare on the offending civ. However, we can't enter there lands until Hammy is DEAD.

Izzy hates the heathen Hammy.

Inherited Turn: Look around. Tons of cities are running spies, which is a pain. The game is as good as over, so I won't do anything to correct that. If Lee really wants to be a PITA, he will order the next player not to run any spy specialists the entire turn Anyway, I hope it doesn't get back around to me.

I order up two Transports, in Babylon and Dur-Kurigalzu, right where they are needed, due in 5 and 9 turns respectively. I queue up a Destroyer in Madrid.

Then I feel guilty about neglecting MM, and remove about 1500lbs worth of Spies, turning them into townies or Engineers (or whatever. Maybe even Citizen specialists!)

1856 AD: Cannons and Rifles move out toward Nidaros. It has a large garrison of workers.

Do mine eyes deceive me? Our Medic 2 Cavalry (with 17XP! Too bad Cavalry can't get Woodsman) walks into an undefended Babylonian city, freeing up some land for Babylon.

There is a poorly defended Viking City with Arabian troops nearby. I'll send a couple of units in case Saladin decides to giftwrap the city for us.



1858 AD: Tonsberg is razed. Ragnar gets some partisans in his capital . Like that will save him

1859 AD:
Nidaros is captured:



1862 AD:
Saladin redlined Roskilde, as expected. The vikings are no more (they don't even get a capital "v")



I also captured Mari.


I'll stop here as this is taking forever.

We have a boatload of Cavalry about to arrive at another Babylonian city (Thracian), and I have asked Saladin to attack Olmec, so Hammy should not survive for very long. After that we need to attack Pericles, partly because he is gunning for a cultural victory, but mainly because we have about 50 cannons idly doing nothing.

Hey, don't look at me! I'd have loved to have no spies, but I wasn't allowed to MM

Maybe I didn't make it clear that I was griping about the governor.

@ above..
Looks like mop-up duty from here on in.. Consider this a got it pending the PITA order.

 

[LKendter]

Izzy: Hammurabi is still alive, why are you bothering me?
Advisor: Sorry your highness.

Current PITA order:
Build a navy that can land enough troops to kill Hammy. Peace with Hammy is prohibited.
The order is repeated exactly as before - kill Hammy!

-----------------------

Variant:
After each turn I will review the game and give a mandated order that can't be ignored. Many orders will be odd.
It expires at the end of your turn-set.
Failure to follow the PITA results in a really wacko order...

Remember about 15 peace (including phony wars) / about 10 heavy war turns per round. STRICT 24 hours got it, total 48 hours to complete.

Remember the use of the BUG mod is prohibited due to its destruction of the in game log. The use of BUG will result in your being ejected from the game.

 

[schwartz]

Played my turns, but have to get going to class so my report will come later.

 

[schwartz]

452:
Nothing to do.

453:

454:
Take Thracian, troops near Olmec.

455:
Swap into SP to save a bunch of cash.
We are victorious at Olmec, Hammy is no more:

456:
Getting ready for Pericles.

457:
ditto above..

458:
Declare on Pericles, have stacks coming in from SW, E, NE, and NW.

460:
Assembly Line in and more cities fall:

For some reason some screens didn't take so there's not many of them..

Save:

OOC: To be honest I see no purpose in a couple final orders. This one is over, and the AI just needs to realize that. Go and take out Greece and end this one.

Nice set schwartz. Let's see if we can wrap this up

 

[Quotey]

No order is only a wee bit dissapointing, but I'll find some way to spice it up. Got it.

 

[LKendter]

Stupid 10 char limit...

 

[Quotey]

My objective for this set is to win

Turn 0 (460)

Don't MM the cities, but take a look around.

Turn 1 (461)

Do a magic trick.

Turn 2 (462)

SHAZAM!

Oh, er.. Sorry. Wrong trick.

ALAKOOP!

Ah, there

Spoiler How the trick worked :

I'm glad to have ended the game, but not the series. I hope you decide to keep hosting games, LK.

Anybody feel like competing to finish fast with normal methods? I know I might.

 

[schwartz]

Hooray for finishing .
Good playing with you guys, I'm sad about the end of the series, though.

 

[ZPV]

I enjoyed this game with you. Thank-you all for a wonderful game.

What do you mean?

 

[Tatran]

4.5 months to finish this SG. It must be a record.

 

[LKendter]

Hopefully it is a temp glitch on the pictures / end-game. I am seeing nothing...


Congrats on finishing up the open game of the LK series. Time for a long break now. I've burned out Civ in general, and have going back to playing RPG style games...

 

[LKendter]

I still can't see any pictures, or the save...
