Notes:

• I left the only Great Artist we have at the moment active with almost full movement. The Artist is in the city where I would have used him if I was going to continue playing.
  
• The are Nubian and German Adventurers at the borders of Stranded in the Jungle.
• I was using only Rheims and Academy of Kartikeya as the only 2 healing spots. Healthy troops not yet used this turn are fortified on the railroad near those cities.
• I have trouble telling Korean troops from our troops. On my monitor the Korean purple and our purple are almost the same.
• Bombay is pre-building Ford’s Factory.

I am starting to play. So much nicer fighting with rails in play.

 

[Jersey Joe]

Rails + temporary settlers was how I was able to add many captured towns to our empire.
Some towns that were on the front lines when I started my turn are now on the back lines, but they might be stocked with troops.

Now if all the useless bombardment we are subjected to, between turns, would just end the game would go 2 times as fast.

 

[Greebley]

Nice progress.

With rails and vet units and catching up in tech, I think we will be able to make good progress on the civs to our Northwest now.

 

[LKendter]

With rails and vet units and catching up in tech,.

My #1 goal will be barracks in all cities this set.

 

[LKendter]

Mid Set teaser:

A nice source of cash.

 

[Jersey Joe]

I hope you caught several ships in port when you captured Portsmouth and Newcastle.

All those Adventures patrolling the mountains is a nice sight.

At least 3 civs know Marine Engineering.

 

[Elephantium]

I love that Adventurer wall

I use the artist up in the spot JJ left it.

At first I thought the rail-net looked good. However, after looking deeper there are still a lot of cities to connect in Egypt. The former Carthage lands are also in bad shape. I want to fill in gaps by Britain so that I can get offensive in the area. All the cash we can get from cities is in that area.

I will be cancelling most of the production of steamrollers. I found a lot of cities under 21 building them. I only want to commit excess population at this point. IMO the cities were gutted in production and cash.

I can tell we just revolted to communism. A lot of cities still need barracks. That will be a priority my set. The 25% shield boost is a nice bonus. The cheap collective farms to 25% shield boost also needs to be built.
I will build a lot of hospitals. I can’t force others to not gut our cities population, so I want to ensure it grows back faster. I don’t care if I make little military progress. It is time to get the cities in shape for the final push.
I probably set a record for number of builds changed. A lot of cities with zero shields invested weren’t on the #1 priority of barracks.

Some happy wonders or buildings must have expired. I’m surprised how many size 20 cities have unhappy people.

Now that we have the rail-net somewhat complete, I will begin to shuffle units around to upgrade everything. There isn’t a lot of tech to steal, so this is a good time to work on upgrades.
I drop science by 30% at the cost of one turn on mass production. With all the barracks / collective farms / hospitals going up, it will be a few turns before I’m producing many units. I would rather have the cash for upgrades.

I spent over an hour just on the hand over turn.
(IT) I don’t want to talk to South America.
South Africa declares war on Greece. It is always nice when our enemies fight each other.

An Austrian musket dies vs our adventurer. (1-0)

[End of session 1]

My original plans were to concentrate exclusively on Britain. However, I have way too many idle armored cars. I send large stacks against small cities that will help even up the front lines. The one problem is this will further stretch the rail-net crews.
(IT) The stack that crossed into the main British territory creates a large battle. We lost 9 infantry. They lost 5 infantry and an artillery piece. (48-14)
China lost a crossbow attacking us. (49-14)
A blasted lawyer found an exposed worker stack near the Aztecs. 2 steamrollers were destroyed. I should be able to recapture the remaining workers.
Ford’s Factory is completed. Bombay now makes a crazy 257 shields. It still needs barracks and collective farm.
Madras is now done with buildings. It starts on infantry. After that slaughter against Britain I need to replenish stock.
Poland has started there GA. There are still an unknown civ for us. The wonder goes obsolete with industrialization. They must be a backwards civ.
