No flight and no motorized transport means they are toast

That's great, once we take Germany out we are assured of not losing this game.

In fact since our military advisor said that we are strong against Germany I would venture and say this game is pretty much over from here.

Well said young Jedi.

Your wit is as sharp as your skill in civ3.

 

[Greebley]

Well we wouldn't want our Tanks to rust would we

Go Melifluous!

The war-monger in me has been itching to attack them all game

I know when I played, I was building tanks and swiped the German oil in the hopes that both might be used

I was noticing they changed the space ship so that robotics is now required. A good change I think. I always liked those techs (Min and robotics), but there was so little reason to actually go for them.

Quick report.

I'm on about turn 7 or 8 and the war goes well enough.

I'm dissapointed to have only taken 7-8 cities from the Germans, but on the bright side I have had 3 great leaders so far (well thats 4 actually but it was a tank defending in the open that spawned him and the tank and leader were killed on the next attack all during the interturn).

Still we have 4 tank armies currently sitting outside Berlin ready to attack once I board my train this eve.

Sorry to take so long.

I will post a full (ish) report tomorrow during the day.

[Aggie]

[Melifluous]

Finally my report. (Damn all print servers that dont support ftp...)

PreTurn - Hey this is looking quite good no? Sell our WM around and then upgrade 2 rifles.

IBT - Arabs are slaughtered by the Russians. Dont panic we had no per turn deals with them, so our rep is safe. Germans want a MPP and a ROP, erm no thanks, they are at war with the Russians.

Turn 01 (1410AD) - Fission -> Rocketry. We need to know where the Aluminium is. Research back to 90%, Rocketry in 9turns. Fustat market -> police station. Sputum Cathedral -> Tank. Edessa library -> temple. Did I mention that we dont have Uranium either? As far as I can see there are exactly six sources on the map. India has three, Russia has 1 and germany has two of them. Oh and the Germans dont have tanks yet, or flight and we have no active deals with them and they are broke One of these uranium is on our Rubber Island. Palace in Trebizond switched to the UN. We dont wanna UN win but we dont want anyone else to grab it now do we Plant a spy in germany for 102gold. Hit F3 to check out their army.

Artillery opens up on infantry near Nuremberg. Elite tank gets another leader! yay! Build army in Konigsberg and load with tanks. Send to heal in Samosata. Very next tank battle gets another leader (Irene?)! yay! yay! Goes for 3 from 3 and fails

IBT - Watch some nice naval battles between Germany and Russia. Persia wander 2 aircraft carriers about. Damnit Nuremberg flips. Taking our artillery

Turn 07 (1440AD) - Adrian tank -> tank. Frankfurt still resisting but build Library -> temple. I love Civil Engineers. Nicaea tank -> tank. Naissus tank -> tank. Dyrrachium tank -> tank.

Turn 09 (1450AD) - Rocketry -> Synthetic Fibres, 9 turns at 100%, +110gpt. Heraclea tank -> tank. Trebizond UN -> tank. Iconium courthouse -> Comm Dock. Asked if I wanna hold a UN vote.... No thanks, I aint that fond of the UN... Maybe they should 'invoke UN sanctions' Kill 2 infantry in Berlin and then a single infantry takes our 14hp army down to 1hp without taking a scratch. Strewth kill 2 more infantry and then its conscripted riflemen, kill 4 of them and ... take Berlin. Great Wall, Leonardos and Mausolleum of Marsollos in here, woohoo! Capture an arty and 2 cannons. WOW war weariness kicks in in a MAJOR way, lux to 10%, major entertainer time. Dont wanna revolt to help I wanna war Just one more turn at least... Kill 4 inf in the open I think plus some guerillas. Germany has 22 inf and 3 rifles. We have Aluminium in ex-Arab lands way hay! Sell incense and 81 gold to Russia for WM and 18gpt.

IBT - Germany and Russia sign peace. Stop selling stuff to India. I hope Persia is at war with Germany, as they have just landed a load of Infantry next to Berlin (5 inf and a guerilla).

Turn 10 (1455AD) - Adrian tank -> tank. Caesarea tank -> tank. Varna tank -> tank. Smyrna tank -> tank. Trebizond tank -> tank. Sardica tank -> tank. Naissus tank -> tank. Dyrrachium tank -> tank. Sputum tank -> tank. Smolensk worker -> worker. Borders of Frankfurt expand (hehe its still resisting, did I say I love Civil Engineers?) This means we can get straight to Nuremberg with tanks. Elite tank attacks Nuremberg (after german artillery weakens the rifles there) and Wins! Great Leader! "Hey Thats My City" tank rock back and forward in amusement. "I coulda been Wall Street" (if I wasnt playing such a dumb ass variant) Army is constructed in Samosata. Next Elite tank kills final defense in Nuremberg and once more the city is ours. Pull 4 armies back to Samasota to heal and move 1 full hp army plus tanks and MI towards the Germans new capital.

And its all yours Elvis. Should be a laugh.

Germans have 22 infantry. With at least 6 on the Indians island. I checked out New Bombay and Brandenberg. Just an FYI but the Germans would offer Brandenberg, New Bombay and Dortmund for peace.

We have the UN, SETI in 2, WW is just starting to kick in (last turn) but no more this turn.

Former German cities are getting the starvation with Civil Engineers treatment to produce things whilst in resistance and you have 6 gold to get rid of.

Persians are a minor worry with their recent landing near Berlin.

Nobody can afford any major gpt deals except Russia who will pay 186gpt for Rocketry, but thats our Monopoly tech over them atm, so I aint sure WTF to do.

Please spend at least half an hour getting to know it before playing.

Much fun, thanks Nad....

Lovely game I may not see again.

THE SAVE

 

[Nad]

Great stuff Meli! If we wanna keep the German cities then we HAVE to eliminate them completely, otherwise we're going to get many more flips...btw, how many artillery did we lose at nuremburg?

Elvis is up to continue the war and keep coasting in science...I think we should stop selling tech now...we don't need the cash and we want to get ahead in the race. We are strong enough to take on other civs if they should demand and declare war. Let's get on with the space race (after killing Germany).

Have fun, Elvis, hope you like modern war

Oh, btw, have we got any aluminium?

 

[Nad]

Update of the roster, since we've had a few switches:

Elvis1985...UP NOW
Nad...ON DECK
Aggie
Stuck_As_a_Mac
Elvis1985 (again)
Greebley
Betazed
Melifluous (just played)


Apart from Elvis, I guess the next play will be everyone's last in this game, so hope everyone has fun!

 

[betazed]

Also after we finish rocektry, IMHO we should research synth fibers at full speed. We need the tech for space race anyway and with modern armor we will be in a very good position military wise.

Also, in PTW i remember we never needed the tech for Internet for space race. Hence I never researched it. Do we need it in Conquests?

Turn 09 (1550AD) - Rocketry -> Synth Fibres... <snip> We have Aluminium in ex-Arab lands way hay!

Thanks for the praise all...

Nice to see people reading my posts

[Greebley]

Betazed,
A major change is that we now need Robotics. That means the techs at the bottom that were not needed before - Miniturization (which gives the internet and offshore platform) and Robotics (which give manufacturing plants).

Meli,
Your link to the save is not quite right. I found it on the upload server. It is:

>> The Save (Melifuous' Turn) <<

If we want to destroy Germany (a good idea in that they have more culture than us) then we need to take out Dortmund. There is a transport in Smolensk that is closest for this.

I think after synthetic fibers we should go toward robotics next. That way we can get the manufacturing plants and offshore platform completed for faster spaceship parts.

The German war is probably going to last 3 more turns. Since Adrianople will starve by then, I would raise the Lux rate to 20%.

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

When this comes to me I'm ready to take it, wireless card or no wireless card. Imagine if I get the final... Perhaps a bit of payback to Kathy? . Nah... just an odd storylike ending that I always do if i get the alst turn.

If we have any nukes lying around just before we launch, then I'm sure we can give Cathy a nice leaving present

 

[Greebley]

Or we may have so many Modern Armor that someone cannot resist

 

[betazed]

I am feeling a bit left out here.

What happened with Cathy in the last match?

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

She kinda... Oh...how can I say...

Totaly Anhilated us

 

[Aggie]

Cathy declared war on me and took 5 to 6 cities.......

Just try the link from Nad's first post in this thread
