Map buying from Rome.
Fighting blind is not fun - we did it way to long in LK21.

We are building scouts?????


NEXT LEADER: FP in Ashur.
We want to capture Ashur intact, with 5 large cities the infastructure can really start cranking.

I must thank India for building the Iroqoius city if New Bangalore - almost zero flip risk.

If we are going to get a road toward the other side - cambridge is a much shorter path. Of course, we may have to take the safest path.

The research path - Military, banks, economics.
Cavalry to kick butt.
Economics for a killer economy.

WE ARE TECH ADVANCED!
England, Persia needs at least 3 of our techs.
India needs multiple - He wants Enginering, way behind.

I suspect the other side of the world isn't a killer in tech.
We are missing the nasty tech players like Russia and Germany.

I don't think we can advance toward England / India / Persia until we have cavalry, and cannons.

I'm off work today due to repairs on my house, so hopefully can play during the day.

Ummm, I forgot to mention them last night.
I started to build scouts since they only cost 10 shields and I was going to hurry production to use them as MP's in the bigger towns so if a town flipped the loss would not be great.

No scouts were built.

 

[BrianJ]

Jus tthought I'd share the good news!

 

[Jersey Joe]

Way to GO!




I still see units stacked under the musketman :jump:

Looks like Ashur was not as well defended as I thought it might be

Now lets get that leader for the FP in Ashur!
We can really start cranking the shields and economy.
With the size of our empire, we could really use rails.

I think we will have to keep a few knights stationed around the perimeter until we get rails - good thing, they probably aren't to far away.

I can't wait until we can leader rush a few factories. That is worth way more then the cost of the factory. All those extra turns of the bonus shields.



The FRAGILE Babylonians??????

FP in Ashur? Werent we going to make it a bit further away?

I've only played 2 full turns, so no leader yet. Ashur only had 3 defenders. Fragile indeed I think Fragile refers to the cultural power of the civ?

Factories are a ways away, we are only in the first half of the Middle Ages! But yeah, we'll rock after getting Rails.

My next target: Take out those annoying cities on the Western penninsula. I dont need Elephants coming from that direction too..

 

[LKendter]

Well, I don't have a complete map in front of me.

What I wanted was a bit past ur.
Toward the middle of the North / South direction of the continent - to help at least some on all of the cities in the area.

At least a little bit from to coast - FP coastal city is to risky.



It is funny how the Civ layout can go sometimes -
We get stuck with two nasty early UU - Bowman and Immortals.

When we see the other continent -
No Russia who always seem to do good with science. Beside that Cossacks are nasty.

No Germany, and possible Panzers. Plus they can be nasty with science.

By the time we get to the other continent - UU are meaningless.

Of course, we still have a lot of work on this continent


I like the attack plan - I agree - we don't need a NO RESOURCE stray Elephant showing up on the wrong side. Plus we can afford to keep those cities, since the are low flip risk.

If 10 tiles is the "low corruption radius, FP in Ashur is almost ideal to cover all of the North.

We could always move the palace later to a city further away.

 

[BrianJ]

Preturn:
Switch cities from Scouts to Muskets.

(1)1590: Ashur is taken with no losses! The Babs are destroyed![dance]
'Not Ur' is too negative. In the spirit of PC I rename it to Errr.

Freed up knights move to the Indian front to take care of those annoying towns.

(2)1595:
Our blood-thirsty people love us so much they expand our Palace!

(3)1600:
Buildup for the next battle. English stacks march up the mountain line towards Steves. Not sure of their target.

(I) Egypt completes Copernicus.

(4)1605:
New Bangalore falls to our mighty knights. Other battles whittle down SoD's

(I)An English stack now threatens NF. We have to do something about this Mountain highway right into the core of our empire.

(5)1615: An attack on a Centurion yields CornPlanter! Lees favorite GL will get the honour of building our FP. New Lahore falls to our knights.

(I)The English SoD stops after killing several units in NF including a knight army. There is a real possibility that we could lose NF next turn.

(6)1620: Beefed up NF with knights in the hope that they can hold it.

(I)We meet the Aztecs. Unfortunately for them. They refuse to give us their entire treasury and 2 cities. You know what happens. The chicken English run away from NF. Possibly heading for another city. Persian Knights are on our land.

We learn Mettalurgy and start Military Tradition.

(7)1625:
Forbidden Palace hurried in Ashur. Selucia is auto-razed. Chalco is next.

(I)AI shuffling of units.

(8)1630:
Chalco holds, with a 1hp Elite Spear.

(9)1635:
Chalco falls and we get our first Aztec slave.

The West Penninsula is cleared. I'll leave a few knights watching for invasion forces. A couple of settlers are started to fill gaps in the west.

(10)1640:
I'm developing a 'killing field' trap betweed 2 mountians on the approach to NF. If we stock the 2 mountains with muskets and cannon we can lay waste to the stacks coming up the mountain range past Steves.

Some cleanup done. We are progressing well.

For some reason I can't get to the uploads page. I'll try later.

On second thought I'll attach it and fix it later. Here is the attached file, to be deleted later:

Did you build a knight army with the army by Salamanca?
I thought had made my plans clear to save it for a Cavalry army

Do you mean GR, St. Regis, or Steve's?
How in the ?!@$! could the English make it to NF?

Well the good news is we concentrate on a single front now.

The bad news - astronomy for Egypt - Tech race is closer then I thought.

Sorry, I must have missed that. I didnt remember reading anything about the army at all. EDIT I take that back, I reread the last few posts, and you said to save it until we were attacking the other side, which we were doing. I used it to take out a few units in the flood plains between Sal and GR. Sorry if it was Shouldnt we be able to build armies now? Werent we able to build Heroic Epic and the other on that allowed armies?

Well, I said in my notes, they walked up the Mountain range past Steves and then passed the Iron mountain on the way to NF. I was waiting until they hit the plains. We need to block this route soon. Put defenders on it and force them to walk around.

 

[LKendter]

Once we get Military Tradtion (appears with Cavalry),
we can build armies.

 

[Garsonga]

Nice work there Brian J

Now we can take out those annoying English and Persians.



NO MORE Babs!!!


Here's a couple to you!
