LP1: That's the wrong end of the gun

[Norvin_Green]

War plans: I'll leave Cologne stand until Biz completes MoM (4 turns) while the other 2 stacks take out Frankfurt and Munich. After that I think capitulation is in order, no?

Espionage: All to Suleiman

Trades: spices to Suleiman for whale (+2 ) with market cities and PP for Optics/Drama/Lit

Tech: Finish Lib (take steel) > Astro > Constitution > Demo

Nidaros Uni>grocer>harbor
Uppsala Uni>grocer>harbor
Haithabu Uni>grocer
Birka Uni>grocer
Upon Biz's capit build HE in Horse Town then cannons and knights
Roskilde Uni>grocer
GP CH>harbor>market>grocer
Madrid market>library>Uni>grocer
Barcelona library>market
Seville forge>barracks

It looks like Berlin will make a nice GP farm with 2 corn and sugar plus some other farms. It also has 2 settled GG so we can build the Globe Theatre and go draft or whip crazy.

Will play this war recovery/builder set later today.

looks good to me, be easy on the . i got a little heavy hand last set getting army out. just let it grow..grow..grow..

 

[Norvin_Green]

Yeah, I noticed the whip was used pretty heavily.

1400 a.d.

Make the following trades with Suleiman:

1405 a.d.

Darn, we are only second fiddle (at the moment):

A nice turn as we pick up two techs:

1420 a.d.

First of three more German cities to fall:

Spoiler :

1430 a.d.

Our newest acquisition:

Spoiler :

1440 a.d.

And lastly:

Spoiler :

And hostilities cease with this exchange:

1460 a.d.

Our caravel reaches distant shores revealing an interesting situation. Here are our 3 new rivals:

Spoiler :

Spoiler :

Spoiler :

Hannibal has both Hatty and Cathy as vassals. It should make our intercontinental invasion pretty interesting.

1475 a.d.

On my last turn our newest tech:

Sorry for the lackluster report. I was so caught up in maneuvering troops and remembering to not whip cities that my note taking really suffered. I queued in Constitution with the thought of getting Democracy and then switching to US-Free Speech-Emancipation-Free Market-Free Religion. We might want to then head for Communism for the Kremlin to rush buy our way to victory.

 

[cripp7]

I didn't see where Bizmark's last cities were. Now that we have some new cities we need to rebuild the economy, heal up and regroup our units while Horse Town pops out cannons to go after Otto. I can't look at the save at the moment, but I think we need to get our continent, cleared out first before going overseas

 

[Norvin_Green]

He's got the two island cities and the old barb city to the NE. He'll probably lose that one when we declare on Suleiman. Yes, our economy is pretty slow but it will recover soon enough. I agree with our continent but Hannibal and cohorts will make it pretty interesting when we do sail overseas.

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

Good set. I'll take a look tomorrow and come up with a plan for comments.

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

I'm an idiot.

I want to:
1. burn for rifles while upgrading the siege.
2. whip out a bunch of knights
3. then revolt to PS (low WW), NH (drafting), caste, mercantilism (we have no foreign trades routes anyway)
4. then immediately declare on the Turks

prince. think about it. Next set or 2 will be war.

yes, I'm being hyper aggressive, but when we have our continent, we can build galleons at leisure.

Comments?

 

[cripp7]

why don't we just kill research, build knights and upgrade our trebs to cannons. We have enough berserkers, we would just need to fortify Spain old land, because he has a stack close to Madrid. even though he has medieval units, our cannons would eat his lunch

 

[Norvin_Green]

Sounds like a plan

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

Can't get to this until Thursday. If anyone wants to swap, go ahead.

 

[cripp7]

what's the roster like, I forget.

 

[Norvin_Green]

I think you're up cripp7 unless Rex is back.

hmm, Admiral are you going to be able to play tomorrow? I can't do it today but maybe tomorrow for sure.

our new cities need theaters and courts, not markets. queue up knights in all our other cities. we need some walls and castles in Madrid/Toledo, enough to offset his stack in Izmar. also get trades for gpt with Hann/Cathy/Hatty

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

Take it Cripp. Friday is better for me. I'll play after you.

 

[cripp7]

ok, will play tomorrow

 

[Rex Tyrannus]

sorry guys, I am back, but I came back to a world of untied loose ends. I can slot in where needed, though.

We have enough units to attack now, just worried where he'll take his stack. I was a little hard on the but needed to get the buildings/units out quick. We need to attack before he gets rifles or even janisaries! We have 5 knights in Birka, 10 zerks/12 cannons/ 3 knights/ 2 phants/ 2 pikes we can take out his cities with that, just need to hit his stack!

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

got it. play tonight or tomorrow
