OB01 - Time Gentlemen!

145 turns left and 700 points in the lead. Physics is the only important tech we're behind. Everyone has Divine Right, so lets join them (research swapped).

We revolt into Emancipation and Mercantilism (no free cash for the AI).

Press Enter

Divine Right researched, Medecine up (as its not a spaceship tech).

Zapotec starts Kremlin and Walata Scotland Yard.

Hindu missionaries are sent to the former Russia. I'm buying cultural buildings here but don't think we'll get a flip from Japan here.

Medecine in, now Physics. Start hospitals where unhealthiness is an issue (ie just about everywhere).

Physics in and then Combustion and then Electricity and Radio. We should build the UN to control it.

I found two junk cities in the old Russia to shrink Toko's holding's here. Missionaries and defenders are on the way





The culture buying has pushed back the borders of St Petes one row!!

I have two spies out but none have done anything yet :mad:. Didn't get to play with this!

Mao and Toko have Artillery so may be heading for Rocketry.

130 turns to go and lead is over 1000.

I think we should win from here but unless Toko gets frisky may not be that interesting :lol:

Might want to be careful with this. Whoever is elected SecGen gets to control the UN. The 2 candidates for SecGen are the civ that builds the UN and the civ with the largest population. If we build it, the civ with the 2nd largest population will be our opponent. As of my turnset, that would be Tokugawa.

In an election between us and Tokugawa, I think we will lose. Why? We have managed to irritate every civ in the game except for Tokugawa. He is the only one we have good relations with. He, however, is on good relations with a couple of other civs.

We need an AI, other than Tokugawa, to build it. If that happens, we stand a good chance of picking up Tokugawa's vote. Once our population surpasses the 50% mark, we will be in a position to vote ourselves into the SecGen office. Until then, we will need help.
 
Ive played and will post later. Mao and Toky are at war with Cyrus. Toky is tearing through Cyrus. Ive started the UN, but I think we shouldnt build it. Toky is gonna have a ton of land, lets not chance the vote going badly. We dont need to build it. No AI will build it before Time is up anyway.
 
I interupted 6 builds for 1 turn to get out 3 Hindu and 3 Confused missionaries. They only take 1 turn and it will increase our monies.

I also turn research down to 40%

The hospial finishes in niani and i stop growth as any additional pop wont give us anything.

Our spy peeks at Tokyo..He still at Steam but can build Apollo.
Civ4ScreenShot0002gg.jpg


We pop a great prophet. I suggest we save him for an emergency golden age in case Toky attacks...hes getting huge.

Radio comes in....I choose Mass Media
Eiffel in Zapotec
Rock & Roll in Djenne
I interupt 6 more builds for 6 more 1 turn missionaries.

Our Spy gets to Beijing and hes building Apollo
Civ4ScreenShot0003gg.jpg


Its time for the spies to earn their keep
Civ4ScreenShot0007gg.jpg

I send 3 spies to start taking out his production and the 4the one to find out where Toky is building Apollo

1927AD Mao and Toky declare on cyrus at the same time.

3 workers are building rail lines to Mao so the spies can get their quicker.
Civ4ScreenShot0008gg.jpg


Mass Media comes in, I choose Industrialism for Tanks which after I researched it...I found out that was a waste ....we have no oil. I should have gone for Mech Infantry to protect us from Toky. Hes gonna get mad after he catches a few spies.
I start Hollywood in Awdaghost
 
Continued

Broadway completes in Timbuk and i hire merchants there
Civ4ScreenShot0010gg.jpg


Zapotec finishes Eiffel and start UN...I strongly suggest the next person stop that. We dont need to build it.
Ive slowed down the Apollo in Beijing. One of our spies gets caught and i keep building them.
Civ4ScreenShot0011gg.jpg


I found where Toky is building Apollo
Civ4ScreenShot0013gg.jpg


I dont mess with him yet as its a long time before he finishes it....I send that spy north through Vickys territory.

Industrialism----------> Computers
I cancel all deals with Cyrus. If Toky and Mao can attack Cyrus at once, they can do the same to us.

I lost a few Spies and i cant seem to spend our money fast enough even rush buying alot of builds.

Also Cyrus is going down faster than my ex-wife in a room full of sailors.

I played 16 turns....not sure why. I suggest we head for mechs in case Toky gets froggy

Just here to say i'll need skips in all SG to atleast next week Tuesday (28 November).
I'm just too buzy with real life and studies now, i'm sorry you guys need to miss me.
 
I would have been happy to interrupt the meal ... Unfortunately, I was out of town. I guess I need to do a better job of letting everybody know, next time I leave. :blush: Sorry you folks had to wait on me.

I'm back now. I'll see about getting some turns out tonight.
 
I'm am going to spare all of you the mundane details of a turn-by-turn report. Absolutely nothing interesting happened during my turns; unless your name was Cyrus, of course.

I've completed research on both Artillery and Computers. I spent 4500 gold to upgrade all of our Cannons to Artillery. I did not upgrade any units to Mech Infantry. I've built quite a few Infantry and Marines, and a few Artillery, during my turns. We still trail Tokugawa on the power graph, though.

We need to decide what to research next. Plastics would allow us to build the 3 Gorges Dam. Refrigeration and Genetics would solve our health problems. I couldn't decide, so I decided to leave it blank and let the team decide.

We have a Great Engineer. I put him to sleep with our Great Prophet. I'm not convinced that saving these folks for an "emergency golden age" is the right move, though.

Evidently our sabotage activities are irritating Mao. He cancelled open borders on my first turn.

OB01_1937AD_MaoOB.JPG


Mao and Tokugawa are still the only ones with Rocketry. Here is a look at their progress on the Apollo Program.

Mao has built the IronWorks in Beijing. He has no iron and I've done my best to keep his only coal source pillaged.

OB01_1945AD_MaoCoal.JPG


I was shocked when Cabledawg reported that we had no oil. I could find only 3 sources on the entire map.

OB01_1945AD_Oil.JPG


Vicky has 2 sources and Cyrus is in possession of another source for just a little bit longer. Vicky has no interest in trading with us.

OB01_1944AD_VickyOil.JPG


Either Mao or Tokugawa will end up with it if we don't take action. How about this for a plan? Tokugawa will make peace with Cyrus for Communism. We then give another tech to Tokugawa to declare on Mao. I'm not sure which tech we would want to give him, though. But, that should put an end to the space race, at least until Vicky gets Rocketry.

The save: OB-01 AD-1945.Civ4SavedGame
 
I think getting Tokogawa to declare on Mao would be good but we'd also have to make sure he doesn't get too carried away.
Any opinions on what we should research next? Plastics and the 3 Gorges Dam or Refrigeration/Genetics for the health boost?

Revolting to environmentalism would solve our health needs. And we have a GE that would help build the 3 Gorges Dam ...
 
Hello guys, i'm almost back.
My real life issues have now been resolved (and greatly improved :D)
So I will restart playing.
I'll grab this one right now.
I'll be playing either tonight or tomorrow afternoon :)
 
Finally managed to play my turn.
I played CSS with my mates untill 2 am last night and had classes untill now.
Very short report as:
1. Nothing happened
2. Lots to do, little time ;)

T1: Cyrus demands to attack Toku, I decline
I decide to research Plastics
I sabotage Beijing's Apollo @ 58% -> Succes :goodjob:

T2: Awdghost finishes Hollywood

T3: We get a GA, I send him to takeddo to possibly Culture Bomb it

T7: Plastics comes in -> I go for Rocketry

T8: Start 3 Gorges in Sparta, feel free to Veto this one :)

T10: Rocketry -> Robotics
And Cyrus is now officially wiped of the face of the earth by Toku :)
