MadV1

Pre turn: Nothing to do. Dutch down to 3 cities. Hittites 1 (but we’re not at war.)
(1) War weariness strikes! Up lux to 60% (Not like we’ll need gold any more anyways ;) ) Declare war on Hittites. Alliance with Germans (so they can wipe them out.) It is time for major war! Our rep will be useless anyways. Declare on Germans. Ally with Chinese. (I gave away theology to both of them). How foolish they are. Destroy 1 Dutch city. Since I have nothing better to do, I make some colonies on the other continent and rush regular cavs in the cities there. Remove foolish garrison in cities.
(2) Mao doesn’t seem happy to see us.

Don’t worry, it’s just a slave worker. Sign RoP with Chinese. Blockade incoming settler pairs. I cannot believe this! It took 4 cav to take out a spear!!! :mad: Hamburg is at a crossroads and a good healing spot so I keep it. Cologne (Dutch) destroyed. Dutch and Hittites have 1 city left. I finally figure out the continental rally point’s use. New Chichen Itza is the docking zone so that’s what it is.
(3) Leipzig and another city razed. Konigsberg razed. Take and keep Hannover for no reason. Rename it Tribute’s marshy home. I hire some entertainer’s to keep ME happy.
(4) Capture and keep Heidelburg. It’s also at a road chokepoint.
(5) Capture Berlin. Now which person in our roster likes the ToA? Raze Heidelburg. Raze Munich with army.

I leave the next person the chance to declare war on the Chinese, as the others are effectively goners now. :)

5CC Germany 19CC China 1CC Netherlands 1CC Hittites
Always War from now on, okay? BTW, there is a ship sent (by me :D ) to land near the Hittite’s capital.

Does that mean it goes to me now? Can MadV confirm/deny?

I'm not sure, but if so, I will try to grab it tomorrow.
 
ok, got it then.

Like I said, I'll try to do it tomorrow am-ish.
 
IHT - Well, everything looks ok, though I would have sent a few more units to clear the small island. Not gonna even bother with a MM check.

I do change Calkmul to a cav, and dump out of Leos to get Sun Tzu’s instead, which has a small value, at least. Change Lazapa to get HE next turn, wasting 104 shields. *shrug* We shouldn’t have to worry about upg cost with some 7600 in the bank.

I am amazed that with all the cities we have on the second continent, we don’t have a harbor in any of them. Immediately rush one in Den Helder, and also build a wine colony. By my count, that will give us all 8 luxes. Also abandon every city on the new continent except Den Helder, Frankfurt and Tribute’s Marshy home. There’s a couple troops healing in Berlin, so it lasts an extra turn or two.

I am amazed that we only have a single army running around, I’ll have to do some farming to see if we can’t change that. The HE should help.

All the worker turns seem useless at this point too, but I’ll keep at it for now.

1050 AD – Not much, healing/consolidating forces for the final push.

IT – Germans destroy Hittites.

1060 AD – People love me and give me the final two expansions. Final preps.

IT – China completes Sun Tzus, about five turns ahead of us, so I dump into the MA, and I’ll start rushing armies.

1070 AD – DoW on China. Shantung, Dortmund and Tiensin burn. Get a handful of elite wins, but no leader luck.

1080 AD – Canton, Chengdu burn.

IT – Lose first two vet cavs in the fields of Shanghai.

1090 AD – Actually lose two more cavs taking Shanghai. Catch and slaughter about eight of their troops in the fields of Shanghai. Burn another town that I forget the name of. :)

IT – Lose a couple more cavs on defense.

1100 AD – Burn Nanking, army comes up an attack short in Beijing. :( Some more skirmishing, still no luck with the leaders, though I didn’t lose any elites and gained a couple more thus far.

Notes: Well, it’s all done now. I’d recommend regrouping and healing the troops, then send stacks of four or five at each city. Just dropped a few more cavs off at the northern island, it’s kinda slow going up there for lack of units.
