Math04: Another 100K

If MGL just army ??? or maybe a Small Wonder Rush?
 
MGL = Army
SGL = Leo's

I'll allow for a swap, with a strict 48 hour clock the next turnset. Three and a half days is a bit much.
 
Victorious army allows us to build Heroic Epic... not sure why there was any question.
 
Pre-Turn: Delhi switches to courthouse. Set slider to 4/6/0
IT: Calcutta Marketplace>Courthouse. Jaipur Harbor>WE.
460 AD: Elite horse gets us Chandragupta. Ganges founded, begins Harbor. Set slider to 5/5/0.
IT: Navigation>Economics (3/7/0). Hyderabad WE>WE. Punjab WE>WE.
470 AD: Set slider to 1/7/2 to combat WW.
IT: Delhi Courthouse>Bank. Bengal Courthouse>WE.
480 AD: We capture Tlaxcala, begins Harbor. Pune founded, begins WE. Lake West founded, begins WE.
IT: Chittagong Courthouse>Marketplace.
490 AD IT: Bombay Settler>Settler. Calcutta Courthouse>Heroic Epic.
500 AD: We raze Tenochtitlan (it has The Temple of Artemis). Set slider to 5/3/2.
Aztecs: We get Tzintzuntzen, World Map, and 4 gold; we give peace.
IT: Economics>Printing Press (4/4/2). Lahore Bank>Magellan’s. Karachi WE>WE. Tlaxcala Worker>Harbor.
510 AD: Delhi switches to Smith’s. Tzintzuntzen rushes a pikeman. Needs something for defense.
IT: Tzintzuntzen Pikeman>Worker.
520 AD: Our galley locates land. Dacca switches to Harbor.
IT: Dacca Harbor>Marketplace.
530 AD: Set slider 6/4/0
IT: Inca deal renewal negotiations. We get Incense; we give Silks and 4 gpt.
540 AD: Set slider to 7/3/0.
IT: Printing Press>Democracy (3/7/0). Indus WE>Marketplace. Jaipur WE>Marketplace. Hyderabad WE>WE. Bengal WE>Marketplace.
550 AD: Desert Town founded, begins WE. Horsey Town founded, begins WE.

-The Aztecs can be ignored now. They have three cities so therefore shouldn’t ever be a threat again.
-Our next target should be the Chinese and than the Inca’s. The Chinese have better land.
-IMO we need to slow down China and Inca. Both our keeping up in research. There isn’t much of anything cultural wise in the IA so we might as well cut them down at the knees now. This will help us later in the MA.
-A WE army can attack three times a turn! I did not know that.
-In three turns the Palace (Madras), Heroic Epic (Calcutta), and JS Bach’s (Bangalore) will all be complete. Smith’s (Delhi) has ten and Magellan’s (Lahore) has eight. Realize though that our GA is over in three so the last two ETA’s will change.

Here’s the island I mentioned in 520 AD.

RE: Inca deal renewal negotiations. We get Incense; we give Silks and 4 gpt.

We must not declare war on the Inca while we are trading luxuries. Now we'll have to wait until this deal expires again.

Any particular reason for not trading Banking for Invention? If we can build Leo's and cut the cascade again, I think we should.

I read somewhere that the last turn of the GA trully is not the last turn. The GA starts on turn 0 ends on turn 19... Or so I read ...

Lets see if its true...
 
We'll tell what happens when i play

Would be a *GOT IT* but I cant find the save in Methos' post :crazyeye:
 
I think the entire world is conspiring to delay this game... :rolleyes:

You shouldnt have much more trouble, as I will play tonight, gaurenteed.

*GOT IT*
 
Am I too switch Smith's to Leos?
 
Yes, as long as the AI cannot switch from Leo's to another wonder when we complete it. I would like to shut them out, if possible. If they have Economics, then build Smith's and let them have Leo's.
 
No one has Econ yet.
 
Preturn- Sell China Banking for Invention, WM, and 1g. It was the best deal... Switch Delhi to Leo's. Still 10.

IBT- Karachi WE->WE.

Turn 1(560AD)- Nothing special to report.

IBT- Bombay Settler->Settler. Kolhapur WE->WE. Punjab WE->WE.

Turn 2(570AD)- Move troops towards the hill near Shanghai. We need to slow down China soon.

IBT- Madras Palace->Smith's. Bangalore JS->Bank. Calcutta HE->Bank.

Turn 3(580AD)- Our GA will end this turn. I move the attack force to the horse hill so it can attack the first turn we decide to hit. I'd say I'll be able to attack in about 2-3 turns.

IBT- Inca demand Navigation. I tell him to boil in the Andes... He backs down. GA ends. Chittagong Market->Bank.

Turn 4(590AD)- Our deals are about to expire with China. Still need a few more Elephants. Also, that Incan demand threw me off gaurd, maybe ill hold off a couple more turns to make sure they dont sneak attack us. The end of our GA slowed down Smiths to 27 turns, Leo's to 11, and Magellan's to 7 turns. Democracy next turn.

IBT- Democracy->FA in 4.

Turn 5(600AD)- At the turn of the Century we are doing great. I discovered another island in the western ocean, this one has Incan colors on it.

IBT- Something odd happened. Chinese units started heading towards an Incan town... a Mahatma can only dream...

Turn 6(610AD)- The island I spoke of is almost all covered in marsh, its not even worth having...

IBT- Tzintzuntzen Worker->Worker. Those Chinese units do not attack Inca...

Turn 7(620AD)- Nothing special. Discover that island must have only had one square w/o mountains or marsh.

IBT- Hyderabad WE->WE.

Turn 8(630AD)- FA next turn. Will put in Madras, as Delhi will get Smith's after Leo's. This can be changed by next player, but I think its best choice.

IBT- FA->Gunpowder. Its our only choice. Karachi WE->WE. Inca start Smith's.

Turn 9(640AD)- Switch Delhi to Smith's. If we get Leo's, its gonna cascade right into Smith's. Switch the wonders around a bit.

IBT- Kolhapur WE->WE. Punjab WE->WE.

Turn 10(650AD)- Nothing special.

Ok. The planting of forests up north is done, and Magellan's will be done in 1. I think Leo's is out because we cant afford a cascade to Smith's. Once Leo's and Smith's is done, I don't see much more competition from Inca wonder wise. Current estimated win date for 100k is 2153AD. Were getting there. I think its a lot less scary then 20 turns ago.
