Its 1832AD. 174 turns left!
I bring Tokogawa into the war with Peter.
Why? Well if he moves this out of Arbela we should flip it.
Also, it will bog him down producing and moving troops across our lands to get to Peter (if he bothers), which can only help as he is second in score to us now. He stands to gain nothing out of it as well.
Steel comes in for some nice cannons and I pick Astronomy. Was tempted by Railroad but don't want to cheapen it for the AI.
It worked!
We build Wall Street.
War weariness is biting so we start some jails and research Fascism, comes in last turn. I set research for Scientific Method to head to Communism for Scotland Yard but can be changed. Also, do we switch to Police State to get rid of some war weariness? I think so.
Played 9 turns to get us to 1850AD.
Oh, how's the war going you ask?
Let's just say Peter ain't doing so well. He still won't talk though. Yekateringburg should fall next turn as well.
That's an impressive lead in GNP
We have over 6000 in the bank as well. Another reason I want to get Scotland Yard going, we can finance a lot of spying with this cash.

Im glad peter wont talk. Lets trudge through the WW by turning up the slider. Id rather have have that now than 50 turns of "We long to join the motherland". Lets finish Peter and make sure that Toky doesnt steal Moscow.
I took the liberty of updating our National Wonders list:
I'm thinking we should put Mount Rushmore in Djenne. It is a good high hammer city with no other National Wonders.
My inital thoughts on Scotland Yard are Uzbek or Culture, since they are more centrally located. The spies will be heading west towards China and England, most likely. However, putting it with the Iron Works may make more sense. After railroads and Factories, Kumbi Saleh should be able to turn out a Spy in a single turn. Thoughts?

Anyone heard for Furrie?....Its been more than 48 hours
Conroe, if you can grab the save its yours!!
Scotland Yard! I've never actually built it before (one of the motivations for this game). Would we use a spy a turn? If so, yes to Kumbi Saleh. If not, Red Cross might be a better combo for Kumbi Saleh (medic factory).

Let's give Furrie a bit more time. I won't be able to play for another 4 or 5 hours. If we still haven't heard anything by then, I will post a "Got It" and play.Ozbenno said:
I haven't played with spies much myself. IIRC you are limited to a max of 4. Mine seem to get caught a lot, though.Ozbenno said:
So, I am constantly training replacements. In a normal game, I would combine the Iron Works with Red Cross. Not sure how everyone else felt about that, though.Cabledawg

I played a game before where the tech leader was closer to space than i was. I kept sending in spies to take out his mines, lumbermills and watermills where he was producing parts. I launched 2 turns before he did. In our case, It may not be a bad idea to sabatoge his happiness and health resources depending on what would hurt him most. The problem there is that is temporary as workers will have it online quickly.
Maybe the biggest payoff is slowing down their tech by sabotaging towns. Towns take a long time to grow back. If it takes 24 turns to grow a village to a town. Then he loses 24 coins x banks, markets, grocers, library's, and universities. That could add up to being greater than the 200 coins we spend on the spy.

War weariness is through the roof! Many of our cities are starving, what with all of the anti-war protestors. I think Ozbenno's suggestion of a civics swap to Police State is a requirement.I'm also not sure how much
I'll be able to accomplish. Our forces are spread out pretty thin all along the Russian front. In addition, many of our Infantry are wounded and are in combat without the assistance of a medic.Turn 295 (1850 AD)
Since we lose the ability to cash rush by switching to Police State, I decide to spend 420 gold to hurry a few odds and ends. We are still sitting on almost 6k in gold, though. Then, I do the civics switch.
Revolt to Police State from Universal Suffrage
Revolt to Slavery from Emancipation
Revolt to Free Market from Mercantilism
Since we can no longer cash rush, I wanted to be able to at least pop rush. I decided to switch to Free Market because it is a huge increase in our gold. Plus, it gives the AI a bit of extra income, as well. Remember all of those gpt trade deals? Let's renegotiate them before the money gets spent:
Mao didn't get any extra money. It looks like his trade income is coming from Russia, I suppose.
I give the pigs back to Zapotec! Please do NOT switch them back to Walatta again! We built the Heroic Epic in Zapotec. We want to maximize the hammers the city has available. Unless the city grows to work all of its tiles, it cannot do that.
I also notice that we have a couple of Monasteries being built in the former Greek cities. I assume they are being built in an effort to push back the Greek cultural borders. But, we only need 3 turns to complete Scientific Method. Since this would obsolete the Monastery before it could be completed, I decide to turn research completely off for a couple of turns.
And lastly, I think we need more troops on the Russian front. To this end, I decide to commit our reserve forces. We have quite a few troops in the former Greek cities. I am going to gamble that Alex will not declare on us and send those troops to Russia. Of course, we will need to make sure we send them back before Cabledawg's turn!

Peter learns Democracy and adopts Emancipation. What wonderful timing I have!
Peter then counter-attacks our troops ...

Research is turned back on at 40%. Scientific Method still due in 3 turns.
Peter has more reinforcements heading towards Yekaterinburg. If I don't take the city now, it is going to get a lot tougher. Unfortunately, we have no healthy troops, but the odds are strongly in our favor.
The defenses of Yekaterinburg are reduced to RUBBLE
While attacking, Infantry defeats (4.80/20): Russian Rifleman at 97.3 percent.

While attacking, Infantry defeats (15.20/20): Russian Grenadier at 99.9 percent.
Next, take a look at what Tokugawa is up to ...
He is marching on the Jewish holy city of St Petersburg. St Petersburg and Moscow are the two crown jewels that we want to capture. Tokugawa will most likely raze the city if he takes it. Unfortunately, I have no healthy troops. I'm going to send what I have to tag along behind him. Hopefully we will get lucky and he will attack without lowering the city defenses, as I have seen the AI do so many times.
I also take the
to all of our Monastery builds, as Scientific Method will be complete in 2 turns.Next up is our assault on Yaroslavl' ...
The defenses of Yaroslavl' are reduced to RUBBLE
While attacking, Infantry defeats (13.60/20): Russian Rifleman at 90.9 percent.
While attacking, Infantry defeats (13.20/20): Russian Rifleman at 75.1 percent.
While attacking, Infantry loses to: Russian Rifleman (14.00/14) at 75.1 percent. Uh-Oh!
I wasn't planning on that one! I no longer have enough troops to take the city. It looks like Tokugawa is going to get this one. He wants 4000 gold to make peace with Peter.
I am going to stop the attack now, while Peter still has a couple of Riflemen available. Maybe we'll get lucky, but I doubt it.IBT:

Sparta builds: Hindu Monastery and begins: Hindu Mandir
With the loss of Yaroslavl', I send more of our troops in the direction of St Petersburg. Our forces are also marching on Moscow. I noticed earlier that we had a half-completed Settler in the build queue at Uzbek. It gets bumped to the top of the queue.
I send our Great Engineer off to Djenne to see if he can help out with the Pentagon build. I also notice that the option to start a golden age is available; which means, of course, that we have another great person sleeping somewhere. It turns out it was a Great Prophet. I send him off to Timbuktu to be merged; that 5gpt will be 15gpt with Wall Street.

Meanwhile, we get a look at St Petersburg and its defenses ...
Tokugawa only has 2 Catapults and a couple of Grenadiers available to attack next turn. I've got 4 Infantry and 2 Cannons; the healthiest of which is at 65% strength. It will be 3 turns before I have healthly reinforcements arrive to attack.

It is a bit of a gamble, as Tokugawa out numbers the Russians by a 2-to-1 margin. However, our forces do not number enough to take the city.

Got it, may be able toplay tonight. If not, tomorrow.
Plan is to get Scotland Yard up and running. I'll drop the research and just pick up what the AIs already have and put some cultural pressure on St Petes. Now we're in Universal Sufferage, we can buy a lot of culture very quickly.

Actually we dont want too much of a tech lead as it makes those techs cheaper for the AI
Now that Biology is in, I'd probably suggest we head towards whatever the tech is that allows Supermarkets. Our cities could use some extra health. Plus don't the Supermarkets give a boost to cash the way Grocers do?
Also, what about the Kremlin? Did we build it?
