MacLordsv01 ~ By Any Means Necessary

[willpax]

Turn highlights:

General moves: begin theaters in captured cities followed by courthouses and barrcks as needed. Continue military buldup (later changed as war entered final stages). I used the GG for a second medic, allowing for two healthy stacks and quicker campaigning.

1788: final positioning of forces (good work, dojoboy!)

1790: Declare war on Ghandi. Move forces near Calcutta to hill across the river in order to avoid attack penalty. Two stacks move into the Indian heartland to the south, while new units get sent west to deal with possible counterattacks in that direction.

1792: Some cannon get CR promotions to increase attack odds. Hyderabad and Calcutta taken.

1794: Chittagong taken (automatically razes).

1796: Ghandi has upgraded some defenders to machine guns. Onward, onward, go the cossacks. Madras captured.

1798: Yekaterinburg begins observatory (for extra scientist slot, although it may not be necessary).

1800: Bangalore and Lahore taken.

1802: forces move forward.

1804: Forces move forward. Assault on Kohlapur with a smaller force leaves one rifleman with 1.1 strength at end of turn (not great luck with that battle).

1806: English take Kohlapur out from under us. Assembly line finished, and several production cities begin factories on the off chance that this war doesn't win the game for us. I begin fascism for the free GG. Jaipur taken. Forces move into position for final major Indian cities.

1808: save made (I had forgotten to change the autosave after I replaced my hard drive, so the save is one turn off, but at the beginning of the turn).

I've got the save. To me it looks like we should take the two big Indian cities that we are at, then see if he will capitulate. The last city will be swamped by Roman culture anyway if we take it. Then start hammering on Augustus to see if we can get him to capitulate before all of the captured cities pop for a conquest victory.

 

[Welnic]

I'll finish the rest later.

Well done Welnic! It lloks as if your Game Finishing Service has prepareed you well. Could you load the save prior to Domination? Would like to log it in my HoF.

Edit: Never mind, I see you provided it. Thanks.

Enjoyed it fellow MacLords. Hopefully, we can join back up for SGOTM06.

 

[willpax]

Good work, people. Thanks--I learned a lot from this game, and it ended right before my work gets really busy.

The last campaign was easy because of everyone's good focus on production--Ghandi never had a chance against the huge stacks we were fielding. I think I need to re-think my sense of a healthy economy.

 

[Aoxomoxoa]

Congratulations to all. Looking forward to the next one...

Turn 427/660 (1817 AD) [18-Aug-2007 00:14:41]

I captured Bombay and Delhi on the first turn, then Gandhi capitulated. I declared war on Augustus after about 4 turns of preparation. I took 3 cities, one with just cossacks. I settled a city between the Russian and Roman culture, and bought theatres as soon as possible in the cities coming out of unrest. That put us over the domination limit.

I'm thinking of starting at the 1630BC save and seeing how different the game is doing it on my own. At that point we had met everybody and knew the basic lay of the land. The main thing I would have done different would be to expand fully peacefully before starting to fight, since we had such a large area that we could block off.

That was a lot of fun, and I too learned a lot. Looking forward to further MacLords victories!
