See note below about potential use of Barricade.
Screen shots will be in my next post.
Notes and Suggestions:
- I didn’t check for any trades.
- I have continued to starve the Italian towns. This is let us learn Communism 2 turns faster than if they weren’t being starved.
- I think the 2 Steamers south of Stockholm should join the Linkoping to Johannesburg ferry service.
- I am preping a spot for a town to be built in old Zululand. I will mark the spot on one of the screenshots I upload.
- We should consider annexing the Korean town of Paegam that is in old Zululand.
- There is A Steamroller+ Worker Pair standing on the Fortress where most of the troops are fortified near Berber territory.
- If you want, they can build a Barricade around the fortress. This will increase the defensive bonus by 100% instead of the 50% for just being in a Fortress. However,
- The catch is that because the fortress in in neutral territory we do not control it so any of our units which enter the Barricade will stop moving (even if on a railroad). To get around this, when you want to leave to attack the Berbers, have the Adventurer that is there pillage the Barricade and go back to having just a Fortress.

LKendter, thank you very much for reporting that error.
It is now fixed for the next version of the CCM3 civilopedia.
The Inca haven't learned a new tech since they got Nationalism, they are due to learn a tech soon. After I captured the Berber city, all the Berbers I killed where in neutral territory and that would not have triggered an MPP. You might be able to do the same thing for 1 more turn and get to steal/trade for the tech they have been researching. Hopefully, they are studying some thing other than Fascism.

I should have my set completed late this week. We are in the 1+ hour a turn stage, so I only work on it days when I can give several hours.
The only big goal completed so far is the revolt to our final government of communism.

Sadly, that was the exact tech the Inca went for.

I started looking over the game. This may be the first time we have built the free railroad boosting wonder overseas. I couldn’t figure out why some home continent cities were building rail stations until I figured this out.
I find we still have 123 rifles. I upgraded them all. It took ages, but I helped pay for this upgrade by selling off obsolete buildings. There were still granaries and slavery in some of our cities.
I’m going to build the National Monument. We don’t need the war weariness help, but war memorials are good for a culture point in the city. During the late game you can’t generate enough free culture. We have just 26.1% of needed land. There will be enough time for this wonder to pay off.
One pain with island maps. I can’t hit h(home) to consolidate our troops there. I’m finding stray troops in unexpected areas. It is taking longer to get them to Lahore.
I ship the Inca electrical grids for $19,709.
I ship Persia electrical grids for a marginal $354 and $200/T.
I can’t believe how backwards some civs still are. Spain still needs Republic.
After a couple of hours reviewing the game, I’m finally ready to hit enter. We are officially in the late game.
(IT) Just frelling wonderful. The Inca and Berbers sign an MPP.
I lost 1 ship. (0-1)
A lot of Berber troops are walking toward us.
The Berber declare war on Russia.
Our spy in Cuzco was captured.

The Lowlands suddenly have some cash. However, I won’t give up a current age tech for just $1,270 and no GPT.
[End of session 1]
I signed an MPP with Inca. They give us $143/T for it. I suspect we are getting into another phony war with someone else. I’d rather not get into a war with Inca. I expect the Berber to bombard our city again, so that they start fighting them.
I send Greece imperialism for $54 and $116/T.
Dragging Dragoon arrived. Madras gets a rushed university.
I give Portugal printing press for dyes.
I kill Carthage: 12 cavalry, 5 hussars and 6 camels. (23-1)
I lost 1 dragoon. (23-2)
(IT) We are now at war with Russia due to the MPP with the Inca. I expect this to be 99% phony.
Britian declares war on Persia.
Inca and Portugal declare war on Canada.
Carthage was nice enough to bombard our city again. They are now at war with the Inca.

You know you are in late game wrap-up mode when a long session is just one or two turns.
[End of session 2]
I close the 1 square gap in the line. I must wait until the rest of the adventurers get off the mountain to clean up the incursion. However, no further incursions will happen.
In addition, it looks like the slow-moving units will leave the hills shortly so that I can get rid of them.
I kill Carthage: 6 adventurers, 1 cavalry and 1 artillery piece. (44-4)

Communism is researched. The next tech up is chemical industry to reveal oil and work toward the better unit with mass production. The revolt to communism begins.

Persia and Inca both completed fascism.
I give Persia communism for fascism.
I sold Inca communism for $19481. After this the Inca are almost broke.
Kristianstad is formed on the home continent.
Revolting Swedish Dragoon arrives. Vientiane gets a rushed university.
Fire Breathing Dragoon arrives. Hanoi gets a rushed commercial dock.
Leader Overload Dragoon arrives. Ballana gets a rushed university.
With this being the anarchy turn I can’t optimize cities. I simply drop rails near the cities I think can be further improved.
I kill Carthage: 15 adventurers, 1 camel and 9 cavalries. (71-11)
I lost: 1 dragoon. (71-12)
I gained 1 artist.
(IT) This time it is totally backwards Spain that wants to sign an MPP.

The population penalty for revolution is tough. It isn’t as clear how to improve some cities that now have a lower population.
I started to build barracks (communism) and collective farms.
I reset our cities to scientists, not tax collectors. That is another annoying thing with revolution.
I kill: 1 enslaver. (74-13)
I kill Carthage: 3 adventurers, and 1 camel. (78-13)

I’m getting tired of the game suggesting city fortifications. I’m planning to build none of those.

We have a new settler on the continent we are fighting. Köping is founded in a block of open land near Carthage.
I finally can start killing the slow movers on grasslands.
I kill Carthage: 5 adventurers, 1 crossbow, 1 MDI, 1 lawyer, 1 archer, 1 Numidian Mercenary, 1 grenadier, 2 musketeers, 1 cavalry, 17 infantries and 5 rifles. (115-14)
I lost: 2 dragoons and 1 enslaver. (115-17)

(IT) I lost an infantry in Pisae to something invisible. I suspect Egypt was the source. (115-18)

China landed a stray unit by Cape Town. I don’t get the option to demand it leave. I suspect a stupid war with China is beginning.

That was a bloody mess. I’m glad we are outproducing Carthage. We can’t afford many turns that bad. I even lost dragoon vs cavalry. Multiple losses were against damaged Carthage units.

Egypt sent a settler pair over our borders. I don’t have the option to demand they leave or declare war.
I declare war on Egypt. They have 13 cities. We can see all of them at their core.

The city gets a culture bomb.

I’ve continued to rush steamrollers. The continent we are taking over still needs a lot of work. With the island hoping we need to be able to spread these guys out to even more continents. That requires way beyond our normal number of steamrollers.
A lot of these cities on the continent we are conquering are low corruption. With forest and production boosters we should get some to a dragoon a turn, and most every other turn. Plus, we still need to sneak in some infantry.
Please keep the parade of combat ships heading toward our lower-distance transport line. The area is also where I am building up the reserves to jump to the next islands.
I think I’ve gotten most of our 90+% corruption cities on troops or steamrollers. It is far too late in the game for these cities to ever become valuable. The only worthwhile building is barracks. I wouldn’t even bother with hospitals, harbors or ports.
I already have some cities doing the mindless troop building loop. I suspect more cities will hit that during Elephantium set.
With the slowness of the island hopping, I am sure I have at least one more set.
It took ages, but I do feel like I finally broke the back of Carthage.
The next tech should be mass production. It gives motorized settlers to let us fill in a lot of territory gaps and have combat settlers. That will speed the end game up.
