Naval Commanders II (Stalin/Vikings)

[obsolete]

Think we should send our scout over to Ethiopia. That way we can see what's garrisoned in his capital & the other guy's next door. They should be our first targets I feel. Quick strike & hopefully vassal.

I'm expecting family over any moment so I likely won't be able to play today. Going out tomorrow morning and more family in the evening so doubtful I can get something in tomorrow as well.

Merry Christmas, happy holidays!

Well, I just can't put down an interresting game.

I burned off one scientist (yes, I feel guilty) on education, but we were stuck in isolation vs wonder hoggers. Anyhow, made it first to lib and grabbed astro, now I think I will go after nationalism and HOPEFULLY trade for marble from someone... somewhere.

Our border pop met the Celts despite legally we could not make trade at the time. She is backwards so that is a good sign after all.

I will make 2 galleons asap to hit circum-nav now...

Our neighbour is teching strongly now, he even beat us to the Taj... nothing I could do there.

Anyhow, I beat HIM to eccon at least and have just done civic switches now.

I am getting ready to POSSIBLY hit Roman's capital if he is not too advanced.

 

[obsolete]

On our way to Romans I decided to make a quick stop at the Spanish. Had to raze 2 of her cities because only an AI would have put them in as useless as a spot as they did.

Anyhow, we kept the capital, and vassaled her. Unfortunately even our 95% city-cracker rifles were having problems and we lost quite a few!

We can not take out Ethiopea as he has defense pact with our neighbour. So... off to the romans as soon as I heal and bring in a few more replacements... But almost all of Roman's cities have to be razed too, they are in such horrible spots...

 

[obsolete]

The religious defense pact broke when everyone ended up in a war vs the Celts. So I took an opportunity to rape & vassal the Ethiopeans before they could new-new their pacts.

We are about to create a super hero, and then FINALLY we will head on over to nail the roman capital (ok, I swear this time).... I think.

Just need to heal a bit and shuck more re-inforcements... Real shame we couldn't get some CR III units before berserkers went obsolete..

 

[obsolete]

Mr. Industrious/Creative of Rome has fallen....

Now I can FINALLY trade for some marble

Who next...

 

[obsolete]

Just vassaled Celts... also have created Sushi.

Unofortunately, the Celts had their cities mostly on hills, and that silly dun actually made a difference...

 

[kossin]

You're on fire!

Betcha the game will be finished by tomorrow
Still unable to play for today though.

 

[obsolete]

Yup, I had to sleep though was passing out. Think it took me just 1, or 2 turns to finish. Though I had stopped micro-managing for ages.

We finish off with yet another CONQUEST victory...

Here's our 2 top leaders (I think....).

 

[obsolete]

@ Kossin & RRR, how about the next game we may try something like Boudica of Aztecs? I am so LOL @ the rookie threads on the GENERAL side of the forum voting the Jag as the worst UU in the game.

Let's try to do a Pangaea romp-stomp or something...

 

[kossin]

This has got to be one of the fastest succession games

I'm game for a Pangea stomping with Monty Boudica & Jags. I think RRR is away for a few more days.
