[funxus]

Wonderful, our population increased with almost 50%
And russians are gone. I wonder how you could bribe Smolensk though, if the governement fled there after you captured Moscow
8 cities to go then, and none is larger than 13.

This was the first thing I thought as well. Maybe if you incite the city on the same turn they don't have time to build the capital there as the palace is to be built next turn. (I don't suppose Smolensk was building a palace when you captured it?) I'm also very surprised they only had one rifleman guarding their capital! One destroyer, huh? I guess my plan was a bit overboard!

Sounds like a splendid job!

 

[Duke of Marlbrough]

I'm assuming he attacked it, because the palace moves instantly and thus the city could not have been bribed.

But, after looking at the city more, there are four units supported by Smolensk, so it wasn't attacked....?

How did we take Smolensk?

 

[naervod]

I am guessing that he attacked Smolensk with ground troops also.

Wohoo! We are finally on the brink of conquering the world! I will try and draw up a plan detailing the fall of Greece and Persia later tonight. If i don't get it done, I would like TimTheEnchanter or my deputy, CivGeneral to help me out. on this.

 

[Octavian X]

I would have commented sooner, but I got stuck on Regia Civitias' new confounded highways...

To the Smolensk issue, perhaps the palace didn't move, and that was a mistake. They could have spent enough gold in the timeframe. Unless they had spent SOME monet in that time, I don't see how why the palace didn't move a second time...

 

[Jayne]

Excellent moves as always!!!!!!! How long do we think it will be before the last two Civs fall? Could it be as early as next week?

 

[funxus]

Unless they had spent SOME monet in that time, I don't see how why the palace didn't move a second time...

Both the human player and the AI gets the option to move the capital if they have the money, but no one is forced to move the capital even if they have the money. So if they only have a little more than 1000g, they usually don't move the capital in my experience. They probably think they have a better use for the money
Since we have the money to pay for the cities, that's good for us

 

[Zwelgje]

I could bribe Smolensk, they didn't move the palace.
Once I captured their capitol a screen popped up their government had fled to another city. The same happened when I captured Delhi BTW...

I don't know if I'll be able to finish next week. I've rushed 2 armors to conquer Athens and then bribe the other 2 cities and ships are on their way to take Persia. I'll probably have to go through revolution again to attack the Persians though...
When we're in democracy again and a CF is signed I'm thinking of subverting the Persian cities that are left. By doing that we'll still be in democracy when we end the game and thus we'll get a higher score than when we would be in anarchy right?

 

[Duke of Marlbrough]

When the game says that the government has fled, it means that a new palace was built.

'Transports go to Moscow, cavalry takes Moscow and government flees to Smolensk.'

This line would mean that the new palace was built in Smolensk, so it would not be able to have been bribed as it was their capital.

[Leowind]

Excellent execution in Russia, but I have to ask why we did not start building Howitzers as soon as Robotics was discovered? I'm not sure I would even bother with armor at this point, unless we might need a little defense getting the howies in position.

Build Howitzers!!

 

[funxus]

Vet Armors are pretty good too, the extra movement makes them worth building. So they maybe should be the choice for the greeks and Sidon (unless we bribe it), and use howitzers in Persia?

 

[Leowind]

Even vet armor can have troubles with city walls. Build enough Howies to take out every city in one turn, with enough engineers to build necessry rails in one turn, and a couple armor to clear rails of partisans. I haven't seen a screenie in awhile, so I don't have a good handle on where the Greeks are. If they are too spread to effectively take them out in one turn, then I would suggest some armor to accompany the Howies for protection and to take care of the partisans.

 

[Octavian X]

Actually, Leowind, there are only three Greek cities, and hardly any infrastructure connecting them. There aren't even roads connecting all three...

 

[Jayne]

.....but iirc, they are all within a few squares of each other, and near the coast. There is a link to an older screenie in the land registry which will give you some idea.

 

[Leowind]

Sorry, a quick perusal of the Land Registry thread didn't reveal any Greek cities. Perhaps I just missed it. If they are not connected even by roads, then perhaps armor is our best choice, as long as they are vets. Do the Greek cities have Walls? The alternative is Howies and enough Engineers to build a RR, unless there is lots of rough terrain.

Yes there is: here!

It's 2 squares up from the south pole. You can only see Athens, but the other 2 are close by. It gives you an idea anyway.

 

[Leowind]

Okay, got it now It's really out of the way, isn't it?

 

[Zwelgje]

Here's a screenie. The greeks are pathetic, we still lost 2 cavalry to them though...
