lurker's comment: yeah i was thinking of that after the post, i wanted to edit, but computer lab time was over . What government is America in? if not a pop-rush gov, then empty their wallets and no quick rush.OR is the Sid discount too much?

 

[Own]

THey don't need to rush units, they've got better than accel production. The only limit on the military is how much they can support, which is a lot.

Another thought is trying to hold our front while our army pillages around Washington. WIll make our final conquest of them so much easier.

lurker's comment: OH, yeah! no wonder the AI never loses its units when i empty its wallet. , and another thing, i didnt really read the variant, so what is the goal of this game? training game?

 

[Own]

Is sid enough? We need a variant . There have been too many whimpy diplo or space games, so we're going for conquest to stand out, but we'll be happy with one of those.

If we are to attack Byz (which we are), then let's do it ASAP, before they build up. But even with their 2 cities, 2 fronts are too much to handle.

OTOH, Abe won't give any techs for peace. Rather check for any tundra cities, we might get one of them.

@AnsarKing: I believe we're playing 0CC (zero city challenge) AW, aren't we?

lurker's comment: . Try taking towns , they dont give defense bonus, and it si the AI so it will take it as a big hit i think.

Don't worry, we won't call Provo into this game

Good to have engineering. It gives LBM's, right?

No, it gives trebuchet. Longbow comes from invention, -- that's why people love to deal with "inventionless" AIs ...

Whoa! I'm back and we haven't made much progress. Was hoping we'd have the continent. Oh well .

All I can say is, good luck with the byz.


So our strategery is basically kill byz, take iron, finish off america with knights, magically get cav and kill France? Sounds good to me.

I'm almost sure you can by no means kill France using knights, -- they are too weak facing musketeers (or even rifiles) ...

I meant using cav, only problem is how to get them. PP/MT is very unlikely at this point, pointy stick is our only hope. There's not enough weaklings to get us to cav.

Oops, sorry for that. Yeah, when you (magically ) get military tradition, those leading guys must have known nationalism or more. Where is the great library? ...

Cav against rifles is bad, but cav armies vs rifles is not bad. We just need to leader fish for a while, then they're dead. If you've read SirPleb's sid attempt, remember how he killed the Zulu (an ENOURMOUS civ) in 13 turns IIRC? They had rifles, and he just had cav armies.

Edit: GL is faraway on the other continent on a landlocked city.

Then you really need some magic ...
