Preturn: I turn the music back on. I Start rushing some cannons,
1300 AD: Pers gets settler, starts knight. Rome makes forbidden palace. No major battles, but i moved some forces (and a cannon) to the front.
1305 AD: Now that theres less corruption going around, i start replacing some irrigations with mines (only in larger cities, dont worry ). Sset science rate down to 0% (we can bully anything new from the egyptians when were done with them) so i can rush other stuff.
1310 AD: Egypt has taken caesaraugusta!
1315: oryx was taekn too! Not looking good... dakyanus was then afterwards burned to the ground! I am focusing on defenses in that area IMMEDIATELY. 2 immortals defeated by a knight.
1320: Cumae captured. Things are looking worse by the minute!!!
1325: No cities lost this turn, but major egyptian movements in the north! Im sorry, im no war expert... i have to end this reign NOW! Someone good at war, take over!
Im sorry for my short reign! all i can say is we cant go on like this in a republic. Revolution? or surrender?

I wasn't going on defeating the Egyptians in this war... Notice the amount of soldiers we have near old Rome.. don't panic. I'm a bit busy with skool and I'll play this as soon as I can... maybe Monday night, ok?

Hmm, apparently I forgot about this... possibly too busy with school. Sorry, Ion Mage.

Heh. I've seen you post it before -- that's what gave me the idea

It might have been little more helpful if you said "Maybe Monday night, May 16th of 2011."
Well there are a number of issues with the condition of the empire that are hurting the chances of winning. Too many crappy units like 20 warriors in the 1250AD save. You should never have build that many warriros or so many spears at Monarch level.
Working on the 5th option tech, rather than get the required techs learned.
Not sure about the trades, many look suspious. Probably caused by being weak. I would not be willing to trade two lux to anyone unless they were very far behind me or some extraordinary circumstances.
Far too few workers.
The bad land, you could do little about, but you could pack in more towns on the starting island.
Lots of structures that should not have been built in the towns that cannot support or use them at this time.
You really give yourself a handicap in vanilla when you switch to Republic and are on a smallish island. You will have to fight a great deal to get anywhere, unless you try for a UN. No unit support in vanilla for Republic.
At war and have only a handful of units on the front and towns at the front have only 1 defender?
Example of a town wasting time and shields is Istakhr making an 80 turn market. It is size 4 and not growning. Has a lib and a temple? Is deep in jungle. Makes zero beakers, so what is the point of a lib? How about a worker or a treb instead.

I played this one out form the 1250AD position. Given it is about 9 years later I think I am safe to post some screenies and such. Couple of pix prior to this turn.
1670AD:
Finally have eliminated Cleo. DOW Bismark and take out all his tonws in my backfield. Kill his stack of 25 units, mostly knights. Signed up everyone to an alliance for a mere single lux each.
I do not expect any nation to do anything in fact I am hoping Bismark wipes the Aztecs towns and the few towns of Ghandi from this continent. I have 13 armies up, 2 are not on this landmass. One dropped on a tiny island of Bismarks enroute home.
We have 4 lux, no others on this land. I am far ahead now in points. Have 149 towns, next is Bismark at 34.
I don't know, if my issues with crashing was due to the vanilla save being played in
C3C or it was Win7, but the first two days I had so many crashes. Then a couple of days no crashes and now it is doing it again.
The good news is it was always during the IBT. The bad news is they had turned off the seed, so once in awhile the replay altered things. No attacks though as Cleo made only a few attacks, just too weak.
I played for about 4 days and kept wondering why these three Germany towns never flipped. I mean it is Monarch and they were surrounded and cutoff for a long time. I finally looked at the game and saw not only was seed off, but so was flips and Domination.
Not sure why anyone would turn off domination, if you want to conquest, just do not keep land once you are near the limit. I do not care for UN wins and Space always crashes. Conquest will be a bit of a pain with so many islands.
1735:
Bismark has 12 towns on the mainland and 1 on a tiny island. He only has 53 units, no attackers. Cannot make infantry, nor horse units. I am now making tanks and have 15 armies. Seems bombers have less range or I have gotten use to CCM bombers as I gave up using them in this game as they have to be moved every turn anyway.
I have seen a single French warrior and a single WE so far battle Bismark. The French do have 9 frigates and 2 galleon off shore. Too late as I already captured those towns. I have 175 towns and will plant some more settlers as soon as I can safely get roads up.
It is the usual low level (high level too really) poor job of getting roads up or trees cut or jungles cleared.
1745AD:
Looks like Montie razed a German town, way to go.
175xAD:
I am sure I could win the vote as all are allied with me versus Bismark and several are polite and that is with no bribes. By the next vote Germany will be gone.
1764AD:
Eliminated Bismark and now have 200+ towns. All alliance ended, before this event. Gotta love the AI as one of them signed a deal with Bismark as it was down to OCC and had several armies next to the last town. Now I want to move on France for their lux, but there are a few of Monties towns and one of Joan's.
A number of foreign units are running around, so I will give them the boot and see who objects.

1774AD:
DOW Joan and clear mainland of her troops and the one town. Montie still has 4 towns mostly in the jungle. Joan has a small force of 100 rifles, 35 cavs and 11 musketeers. A few spears. 20 workers is not bad for an AI on an island with 15 towns.
I have 18 armies now, 2 or 3 are tanks. Just upgraded infantry to mechs. Going to drop all, but one on her. She has one scrub tundra town as well.
1776AD:
They sent 20 cavs to die on my MI units. Looks like about 50 units are on the two tiles I left open. I should have only left one tile as now they have about 30 units on a mountain and will be harder to kill.
1778AD:
I really dislike ships in Civ3. I misclicked my BB and could not attack with it, only one I have. Tried my DD and the 1HP Ironclad sunk it, so I used a Cruise Missile. Forgot I had a bomber right there, duh. (Note would not have worked in vanilla anyway)
Used bomber on stack and it missed, sigh.
1804AD:
Joan is gone, but she did a good job on the island, it is nearly completely railed.
1810AD:
Task Force Zulu shoved off. Shaka shares the last continent with Ghandi and Montie. He also has a 8 towns on a small continent with me and one Indian town. A single LB is still parked on the mainland.
1824AD:
Fleet lands finally and I kill the lB and take one town on shared island. Land 19 armies (5 are tank armies), 4 elite cavs, 9 MI (2 elite) and 9 tanks (2 elite). Maybe 7 artillery and 8 to 10 settlers.
1826AD:
Raze Hlobane and found town. Clear units from my new town. Get another leader form 24th and fill with tanks.
Looks like Shaka only has about 70 infantry and maybe 30 other units. No rails up. Raze 2 towns and put armies on all tiles to beachhead, except one. Forcing them to come in one path and maybe take a ZoC hit.
1838AD:
Have Modern Armor now and have cleared the shared island. It now has only 1 town (India). Have a corner on the continent now of 8 towns. All tiles on all lands have rails, except some of the newly grab areas and even have a rail to all towns there.
Scores of slaves left on the mainland, not going to bring them over.

1846AD:
Shaka eliminated. 272 towns, Ghandi 27, Montie 11 (4 on mainland). 26 armies, not building them in MA now and few elite battles as most done by armies now. 6 lux, so all are quite happy, especially as most are set to scientist.
1856AD:
Ghandi has
Settlers 2
Workers 11
Spears 6
Pikes 1
LB 1
Muskets 12
Rifles 103
Cavs 26
Artillery 8
Galley 1
Caravels 2
Galleon 4
Ironclads 16
WE 5
Pretty weak and 26 towns. I DOW and give Montie Espionage to join the fun. There are two islands, quite small.
One has 3 towns 2 Ghandi and 1 Az. The other has three, one for each of us. I capture the Indian town. Capture Pune on my island, but bomber fails to sink 1hp galleon, now surrounded by 2 DD's. (Duh no lethal in vanilla)
Ghandi has a number of metros that I will raze. I only want enough new land to get the two lux I do not currently own.
Razed 2 metros cannot reach others right now. Eliminated 21 units.
IBT:
All they did was move units around, some to Monties area. The Galleon did not move as is usual for a redlined transport ship unescorted. (bug IMO)
1858AD:
Kill 32 units and drop them to 21 towns, razing New Delhi at size 26. Found my 276th town to claim Ivory.
Got a leader and created 27th using MA units.
1860AD:
Killed about 20 more units and razed 2 metros.
1862AD:
Vote came up and I probably could win as only AZ decides and they are allied with me now. Ghandi has not even taken down the size 1 town on his little island. He has a full city and a decent town there.
Ghandi down to 17 towns now. 22 units removed.
1866AD:
Montie plopped a town in my path, so I DOW him and it will be war till no one is standing and I probably will not make or capture towns.
I got 3 more leaders and now have 30 armies. I really miss the leathal bombardment that made bombers useful in C3C. No upgrades for LB and Immortals stinks as well.
1868AD:
Got three of the 4 Az towns on the mainland. They are down to 6 towns, 3 sieged. Ghandi has 13, also 3 sieged.
1870AD:
Cleared mainland. Tiny island. One town on the current continent for Montie and it is pinned in by several armies. He has a town on the 3 town island. I am going to land a MA army next turn. Ghandi has 12 towns, 10 on this continent in one corner. Mountains and tundra will slow the action.
1872AD:
Another leader. Funny Ghandi took the last town from Montie and the msg was Rampaging Indian's! They got one tundra town.
1876AD:
Slipped up and used an elite cav and got another leader. Fromed 32nd, not going to fill as they have 4 towns and all have armies on their door. I did relent and capture a town to get the last lux (Gems).
I have seen a few barb warriors running around in all the open land I left. They run past the armies and get dropped to red.
1878AD:
All dead.
Games crashed at the barb hitting the bell as it often does. I did note one strange thing and that the score was -17xxx? It put me on the bottom of the score list. I did not have crashes during IBT the last two days. My cursor was very sensitive though. Not sure if this is due to Win7 updates or what.
