• I have a Camel Musketeer moving north in the desert by Indo-China, His mission is the contact the Canadians and the Turks

You already made trades with Turkey in your report. Canada is already scheduled for extermination through Indo-China. Did the Doctor take control and confuse us?


The extermination continues well.

I see we still have a ton of cash. It is arriving faster than we can spend it.

It is to the point that I can’t wait for rails. The troops are getting to far from the core to keep fighting without them.

ROSTER:

We must raze all the cities. They can’t be captured for even 1 second.
No workers may upgrade to partisans as we don’t want non-Daleks in our army. If we create a foreign partisan, it must be disbanded ASAP.
We are defiant. We must refuse all demands. The superior Daleks will not be ordered by other civs.
We can’t give up anything to get peace. We can't accept cities in peace.
We can’t complete Military Research Center until the appropriate age.

You already made trades with Turkey in your report. Canada is already scheduled for extermination through Indo-China. Did the Doctor take control and confuse us?

No that was owing to old tired memory circuits mine not the computer's. I type my reports by using the last report as a template. I had the same bullet point in my last report and did not delete it from this report.

It is to the point that I can’t wait for rails. The troops are getting to far from the core to keep fighting without them.

I didn't time it, but it felt to me as if I spent more time each turn moving troops from were they were built to the front than I did exterminating the enemy. It is also the major reason I built mostly Hussars.

 

[Greebley]

Ok, I got it.

The key tech after rails will be settlers. Both will be needed for the win. Given the easy difficulty level I do not expect us to get to tanks.

I agree, once we get settlers we all should build more towns.
Also, I think the towns should be spread apart to take into account the territory covered by the third ring and "merging of borders".
Further, I think we should rush at least the first 4 builds of each town, to get to the expansions quicker. The builds I would suggest, in this order, are Academy, Administration Center, Courthouse and finally Barracks. When we start using Motorized Settlers, then right after Academy we might consider rushing Colloseum and Opera to get the third ring expansion faster.

If there are any more wonders left with free culture buildings, we really want those.

 

[Jersey Joe]

If there are any more wonders left with free culture buildings, we really want those.

There are 2 Wonders:
National Monument (1000 shields) gives a War Memorial. Need to know Nationalism
Internationale Telephone Corp (500 shields) gives Telegraph/Telephone. Need to know Radio.

 

[Greebley]

Preturn: Looked reasonable.

IBT: Wonder why we have no balloons so switch to one. Realize it's the variant when I try to move the balloon to the front and there is no city to move into. Still would like at least a few balloon (built 3 or 4 total if we need them).

810 AD: Move into Indochina and grab a hilltop on the Mongolian front.
Built a few outposts mostly on mountains for the 3x range.
We have two tech to trade and could get gold for but Arabia is (in current lingo) sus. Don't think they will keep a 20 agreement. Based on costs, it looks like both Arabia and Turkey are researching Economics. I think I will not trade until I figure out if Arabia will attack us.

IBT: Poland also moves out troops to the south.
Single Indochina attacking Camel is defeated.

820 AD:
Destroyed an Indochina Stack - all weaker units.
Forces on Mongol and Indochina head for cities.

IBT: Minor attacks. Indochina is mostly going around our stacks.
We get Enlightenment and Cavalry.

830 AD:
Indochina:
Mandalay is exterminated.

Mongol
Kazan is exterminated.
Karakorum is exterminated along with its Buddhist Art but costing around 4 Hussar. City gives 13 workers.

Deal for tech now looks good enough. We get 10k and 155 gpt for World map, Naval Power and Economics for Turkey. We get 5939 gold out of ~6k from Arabia for Naval Power and Economics.

IBT: Indochina goes around us again without attacking
It really looks like both Arabia and Poland are trying to get to our city for a surprise attack, not realizing that the wall of Daleks might mean something about the surprise part.

840 AD:
For Indochina
Rangoon is Exterminated losing two Hussar.

3-4 others lost killing Indochina units

IBT: I wasn't able to cover all units so we lose 2 hussar to indochina

850 AD:
Mongols:
Ulaanbataar is exterminated
Almalik is exterminated.

We met Persia but they don't have any cash.

Notes:
I have a unit heading to Russia though the boat may also reach there soon.

We have 3 settler units. One is below the Fruit and heading North. The other two are new and didn't plan where they should go.

We don't need to keep the walls up for Arabia and Poland if the next player doesn't want to. I am not sure if they are just on the move or trying to do the surprise attack on a town.

Upgraded some Hussar to Cavalry, but our front lines are still older units.

Indochina forces needs a bunch of healing but will also get Cavalry reinforcements soon. 8 cities remain including their capital. I see 26 defenders and 8 xbow (we have a spy). They have a clan so it may be worth using Steal Plans to find it - though a clan is not updated and may be in the latest capital. You can also see the Arabian units.

We have a spy with Mongolia and they have 3 defenders, a worker and a Bombard for 3 cities. It is mostly a matter of getting to the cities. We have one attack next turn.

I ended up making peace with Canada.

Did not trade Enlightenment. Especially with Arabia acting up, we don't want to give them Cavalry.

Greebley, good job exterminating the Mogols!

It is marginal, but I give Arabia enlightenment for $1758 and $108/T.

This will be my last set without railroads to fight.

I gained 1 artist.

Hussar of Skaro arrived. It is so far from a city, that nothing will be rushed until the next turn.

I lost 1 hussar. (28-5)

With a possible war with Arabia, I began to ship almost all new cavalry in that direction. I’m still not sure what Poland is up to.

A boring turn of moving troops around. The next Indochina city is lined up. I continue to push troops like crazy to our western front. Between Arabia and Poland, it has the potential to get messy.
