My second LP, this time it's deity.

[Realyn]

Just lost 14 turns of taking screens, because I played windowed while still being in full screen or starting TF2 while still in civ5 .. hmpf. Stupid fraps. At least nothing special happened

Your talking about the whole civ? I know theres a penatly for wiping them out, but I still do it. For the most part just for fun and because I don't want them to denounce me for the next 200 turns .. but yeah, thats prolly what started the war.

I allready saw your thread - sadly I'm no real help for a quick science victory .

 

[The Pilgrim]

No, I was talking about your horse scarified while blocking second Mongolian city.

Technical off-topic:

Spoiler :

Do you use fraps to take screenshots? You know you can simply printScreen? Game's native format is tga confused but infranView converts it to jpg with the same batch resizing action. Another option is to hit Steam hotkey (F12) and that will save a screenshot in jpg format already to Steam user data folder, then you can batch resize.

As for my game... Well, I'm not an expert either. Sort of trying to change that. But a appreciate the moral support.

Sadly not. He got a crossbowman down to 1 hp somehow. Even if they are "only" keshik.

I don't even know why I started using fraps. Think it was because I wanted capture on "^" and have a designated folder where they are saved.

edit:looking at the screens I might have saved him, you are right. But still, "just" a horseman lost. Casuals

 

[Realyn]

Again got nearly 300 for tomorrow and Pilgrim you will be happy. This will either be the greatest cultural victory in civ history or I'm going down in flames. Let me count:

-14 Artilleries
-17 Infantry
-5 Anti aircraft
-7 Anti tanks
-Nukes

visible on his BORDER, on his goddamn BORDER. Can't wait to keep playing tomorrow.

 

[The Pilgrim]

You're crazy!

 

[Realyn]

Hello, I finished the game today and will try to post everything. Since it is mostly war I and I got a load of pictures I won't comment everyone. Tried to give you the understanding and took ~3-4 screenshots per turn from time to time.

Spoiler :

Marseille should be fun. Most likely he will go for Monaco with units. Also trying to retake Vienna.

Moving my units back -.-.

Look at some production queues.

Gonna invade India/Denmark

:x

Gonna use my GS for parts and UU

was looking for some new allies ... nevermind.

 

[Realyn]

.......

Spoiler :

Taking Stockholm since peace is blocked.

India still sooo behind.

This one artillery on the hill will do so much damage.

My first and only infantry.

I said yes in 10 turns. I can still turn him down .. everybody hates me anyway.

 

[The Pilgrim]

You have your images mixed a bit. There is turn 318 and then 301 again. For a moment I thought Darius retook Vienna.

 

[Realyn]

Ând this is were I missed screens from turn 304 to 318, sorry.

Spoiler :

Gave Russia open borders, they are going for the last 2 japanese cities.

Still at war with Persia.

Starting to build railroads.

Made peace with him some turns before. Don't really want those 2 cities.

Open borders with Russia will expire in ~10 turns and split her army in two.

4 range siege units 4 tw!

Russia marching

Getting my GG up there.

Open borders ended.

 

[Realyn]

Yeah sorry, they were completly mixed up. Should be fine now.

Spoiler :

Noopes. I want my Sixtine Capelle.

Persia is fighting India as well. Need to hurry.

Thats alot of units. Was wrong in the prior post. OB did not expire yet, but will soon.

Now it has!

I'll build roads on all 6 tiles south of Tokyo

Building a road to Delhi for reinforcments.

And getting into position to declare on Russia.

 

[Realyn]

......

Spoiler :

Most of the Meele units are open field II. Not a big deal if they should die.

I don't really "want" her cities. But neither want I to see her declaring on me with the first strike. It's immense having the first turn>

Starting to build roads the moment I declare.

Railroads. Still not done.

I'm using my range2 crossbows to clear those single units.

Like usual, production and happyness over something like a libary for me.

 

[Realyn]

Damn, keep mixing up the chapter numbers and stuff.

Spoiler :

Taking Kuala Lumpur. TBH I shouldn't have done that and simply paid them 1500g

Come at me Persia.

Looks like we will might at Delhi.

SADFACE

No. India has completed 4 policy trees btw.

 

[Realyn]

......

Spoiler :

Tanks :x.

Aaaaand ... Destroyer. I really have fallen behind in tech with the lack of RA partners.

Nice boost in culture hum?

Uhm, yeah .. nice army you have there Persia.

And thats why I hate it to not wipe off a civ ...

 

[Realyn]

So ... I quite paniced a bit in the next couple of turns. Korea has done the Apollo and no chance in hell I can hold Delhi against Persia. I need to win this game soon. And what's left with domination and space out of reach? Culture.

Oh and right, playing Babylon vs Persia like a boss.

Spoiler :

Take it and stop it, thx.

Still using my archers to defend teh homelands. There 2/3 range is too short to help taking Moscow.

What tha

Worth a try, lol.

 

[Realyn]

Again messing up the title of the previous post, I'm so bad .

Spoiler :

Thank god he accepted.

Land is Power

Please, be my guest, walk through my borders and kill off your units. If I hadn't give nhim OB he simply would have declared on me and get his borders that way.

Taking science. If I have to fight now I'm screwed either way.

I take a gamble and move pretty much everything to Delhi. Can't loose the Sixtine Capelle at all.

Babylon nuking the out of this continent.

And still has spare units to fight on Russia.

 

[Realyn]

-----

Spoiler :

Oh dear

Oh dear Oh dear

Broadcast tower EVERYWHERE.

Looks like he is going for Denmark.

Trying to block him.

Like said before ... Gambling on Babylon not attacking me.

I move units into my allied CS's and try to form a "halfcircle" around Vuayanawhatever. Not like I'm going at war, just to defend myself.

 

[Realyn]

......

Spoiler :

Yap, he's going for Denmark. Obviously good for me if he is splitting his armies.

Microing all of my 3billion cities into using artis while still focusing on hammers.

Babylon likes his nukes ...

Someone responded with nukes ...

Wasteland.

Building roads inside the CS's

Russia aswell?Well, as long as he spreads his units I might have a real chance fighting him.

 

[Realyn]

......

Spoiler :

I planned on culture bombing Delhis borders. But after he moved his units away from there I'm gonna start a GA and net around 1000g from it.

Nice modifiers right there. 1132 culture/turn also not bad

I annexed Delhi as well. I didn't do the math, but annexing them should be profitable. With the 33% culture bonus from wonders and culture buildings up to broadcoast towers they should bring more culture than they cost.

I'm building a second road network. IF I have to go to war mobility is so important, who cares about 10gold maintance costs ...

Real wasteland lol.

 

[Realyn]

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the endgame.

Spoiler :

Looking for a cultural CS I missed. Btw, did you notice how my empire on the minimap looks like a horse?

-.-

Rush buying some artillery

Can you imagine it was quite a pain moving my units south ?

6 to go.

 

[Realyn]

I stopped playing "serious" here. I just put all my cities to science at some point, researching atomic bombs, and then building them. Didn't build any more units, simply because I didn't want to micro them even more. So yeah ... pretty much do or die.

Spoiler :

Need to buy workers after I sold them all -.-

Again, building it just for the cultural bonus.

lol
