Mic3 - Wonder Expansion

[Kiech]

Wow, my turn already? That was very quick. I will get to this as soon as I can. Too bad about the war with Abe, we were getting a lot of luxuries from him.

 

[grs]

Already made peace with Abe.

 

[microbe]

It's good to defend our borders, but leaving cities empty or poorly defended isn't my favorite. AI isn't far away from marines.

Kiech - up
Ankka - on deck

 

[Ankka]

I did protect the cities within reach from boats in 1 turn... but it's useless to protect the inland cities, the AI can't reach them in 1 turn with any method.

 

[Kiech]

Sorry, looks like I am taking the full 72 this time around, sorry guys.

 

[microbe]

I'm leaving next Wednesday morning so I'd really like to see this completed before I leave. If you cannot play it for the next 24 hours, maybe a swap with Ankka and even TheNamesis666?

 

[Kiech]

Swapping is fine with me, go at 'em Ankka!

 

[TheNemesis666]

I'm around if needed.

 

[microbe]

Ankka/TheNamesis/Kiech any of you can take the game by posting a "got it". The order doesn't matter to me. Just finish the game before I leave.

 

[TheNemesis666]

I got it. Will post again shortly.

didn't bother investigating the SETI builds, I didn't think we'd care, we'll have genetics soon and both wonders on it are 3cpt same as SETI. (if we even get to finish one of them)

good game all.

edit: Moscow 105cpt, 16340c. currently 34t without taking into account Net, SETI, Cure or Longevity.

 

[Ankka]

Ok... I'll take it tonight if noone else does.

 

[Ankka]

1790AD [Preturn]: Check to see where we are going... looks good.

Hurry research lab in Bryansk.

IBT: Bryans research lab > hospital.
Vladivostok stock > hospital.

1792AD [1]:

IBT: Genetics > rocketry. I don't think we need any tech anymore, but...

Krasnoyarsk researchh lab > mass transit.
Ganges research lab > wealth.
Tver' colosseum > mass transit.

1794AD [2]: Hurry some buildings..

IBT: Pollutiion strikes Moscow.
Bryansk hospital > offshore platform.
Pollution strikes Vladi.

1796AD - [3] 1798AD [4]: We may choose whether we want to hold UN elections. No.

1800AD [5]:

IBT: Rocketry > space flight.

Pollution strikes Krasnoyarsk.
Tver' mass transit > harbor.
Vladi hospital > offshore platform.

We lose our source of Uranium, it got exhausted.

1802AD [6]:

IBT: Abe comes and suggests a deal: TM exchange and we give Rocketry. No thanks.

Renew the lux deal.

Moscow builds the Internet > Longevity.

1804AD [7]:

IBT: Pollution strikes Tver'.
Tver' harbor > wealth.
Pollution strikes Vladi.

1806AD [8]:

IBT: Pollution strikes Krasno.

1808AD [9]:

IBT: Otto's Attack India!

Krasno mass transit > court.

18010AD [10]: Quite a boring set of turns, mainly cleaning pollution and waiting...

 

[Kiech]

Preflight: Looking good. We can expand by 2 cities. I would really like to take Delhi, as that would lower our Maintence costs dramatically, but we don't really have the tanks for that...ah, well. On to boring stuff, I suspose.

Militarily, I would build some picket ships (destoyers) and bombers to protect our waters, and a lot of tanks to take Delhi, raze Karachi and rebuild it for the incense, and possibly raze Lahore & Madras for fun.

We have no Uranium...ouch.

I switch cities that could use it to offshore platforms.

A spy is in Delhi.

(1)1812: Boring

(2)1814: Sci to zero, still get space flight in 1. I send a transport over to Vladivostok.

IBT: There is only one small wonder left to research, SDI, and I don't suspect we need it right away. I study synthetic fibers for the tanks, due in 6. Delhi finishes Seti. They MUST GO!

(3)1816:

(4)1818: I start RRing the rest of Vladivostoks territory. Heh, can't RR the small island, eh? Never tested this before, so I guess this is a good time to do so, I make an airfield on the island and the mainland. Nope, it doesn't work, I just can't get coal/iron to this spot. It is good to know, however, that even though building an airfield destroys the mining/irrigation, you can just remine/irrigate after the airfield is built.

(5)1820:

(6)1822:

(7)1824: I use our airfields to transport a defender to the little island with no rails.

(8)1826: Some tanks are made.

(9)1828: Start on Nuclear power due in 6. Some tanks are upgraded.

(10)1830: Not much.

We have 14 armors ready to strike next turn. I suggest getting America into the fight as well, as we can then get some dyes out of the deal and avoid a conflict with them. On face value, he will take Fission on a MPP, you might be able to haggle him a bit lower, but he is going to be our only real source of uranium for the rest of the game - and its required to build the Manhattan project. Take Delhi, and raze/rebuild Karachi.

Cure for Cancer is due next turn, build the Apollo program next, and rush it with our leader.

There are a total of 6 uraniums on the map that I could find. Otto has 1, India has 2, and America has the rest. None are in areas that we really want to take.

I have been able to plant spies in all of the other civs.

I realize we might be able to skate for the rest of the game and win via culture...but we might as well have a little fun while we are at it.

The save.

 

[microbe]

Wow, that was fast!

 

[grs]

I would not start a war now, what do we need uranium for?

 

[Kiech]

I logged on just after Ankka finished his turns.

I am interested to find out what you want to do about war, though. Taking Delhi will get us a lot of gpt.

 

[Kiech]

We don't need uranium. I just think Delhi has way too many wonders to pass up.

 

[microbe]

I have not looked at the save but I probably won't start a war. We've got enough wars in this game. Just press enter and win I guess?

 

[grs]

Nope 18.524 at 114cpt (CfC comes on the IBT). Thats a bit more than 13 turns.

Edit: btw, I personally don't see a problem, if you play the last 13 in one go.
