i tried to play 2 nights ago, but the new blake patch crashed my game. so i finished last night, and was going to post today from work, but i've forgotten my stuff. i razed...not Delhi, but a secondary city, and started producing some tanks.
This saturday marks the end of the "crunch" time here at work so i'll be back to my normal schedule starting from next week.
raze it?!? what do you mean?!? It'll be the jewel of our empire
yeah, it's razed and our forces are healing, awaiting some tanks. Delhi is the only city well defended, so i was saving it for last. We can, however, keep the last two indian cities if we'd like.

Yikes! Here's the defenses at Delhi:
I decide to recall our forces rather than suicide them against Indian walls.
Meanwhile, back at the home front, I'm moving these forces to garrison the nearby towns:

The lonely widower takes a look at his empire. The war effort seems to go well in the Indian front, but the English has been a nuisance, with random incursion of a tank and some gunships. Of-course those were repelled, but it is still a nuisance. We shall pay the fat lady a visit once we made a widow out of her ... but meanwhile, let's review our empire, shall we?
What ever happen to Rome? It was designated our GP-Farm, and let it be just that, our GP-Farm. One more city producing troops at a fast rate made no difference. Please do not remove any specialist from Rome in the future. I maxed out the priest specialist and managed to push the prob of prophet to over 50%. If we had stayed with the 4 priest throughout, we could have a prophet prob of over to 70%. So, if the next GPerson (in 5 turns) is still not a prophet, please keep the current configuration.
I sell our only pig to Cathy:
Here's why:
We would soon get another pig, and we need the money, badly. Next player may consider building some cavalries from our city with stable prior to flight coming in. This way, we could upgrade them with the added stable experience once Flight is in. Also consider going after communism once Flight is in ... or better yet, extort communism out of Vicky.
I have also canceled theatre build in Antium. For those cities where prod is poor, it might be better to just simply have the build wealth or research.
I shifted our workers a bit and canceled an automated worker. They were sent chopping forests that are not in any city's BFC, building railroads at mines and lumbermills, building pasture at the pigs and quarry at the stones. Next, the workers should be moved north to mporve the former-indian lands. Be careful though, make sure at least a SAM infantry is covering the workers ...
Yes, that implies we have rocketry.
I apologize for my earlier comment on Flight before Rocketry. It seems rocketry enables SAM Infantry, which is much more useful than Fighters. That's why I continued with rocketry instead of switching to flight.
I have also been building destroyers ... once we have enough, start taking out those pest in our southern coast.
Now, to the more interesting part of my turnset ...
The Anglo-Indian War!!!
It seems that Asoka pulled his forces out of Delhi ... fine with me. As such, our huge stack take Delhi with ease.

I culture-bombed Delhi without thinking ... hmm ... in retrospect, should have saved the artist for lightbulb of radio or Golden Age. :smoked:
After Delhi, I pushed the army north towards the last Indian stronghold ... if Delhi is a fortress in pholky's turnset and a skeleton defense in mine, the missing indian troops is either in Madras or in a transport somewhere. Either way, we had better destroy the indian empire fast so that if the troops are in a transport, they would be deleted once Asoka bite the dust.
And, without long, indeed, the troops are now fortifeid in Madras:

With that, Vicky is officially a widow. Being a gentleman, I politely extend my condolences and this is what she offered:
But my dear majesty, if you do not wish to join your former consort, I think a tech or two would be prudent.
Cathy is crushing Egypt, but she is not producing anymore space parts:
I think we should raze a city or two in the northern English cities to weaken vicky a bit so that she will not dare declare when we finally focus our attention on making Izzy a widow. But, raze only the northern english cities, since we don't want to help cathy further by eliminating the english culture pressure on her.
Research wise, we can either go for communism (state property) or biology (farm) or radio (bombers).
Civic-wise, I think it is time to revolt out of Nationhood ... we don't need it any further.
Once we secure the southern coast or signed peace with vicky, start rebuilding the nets.

I think the next player (which is Cosmic, by the way) should raze a city or two and declare peace. Try to get either biology, or communism, then we can research radio. Prepare ourselves for unleashing the modern roman armies. Russia is really still untouchable, she has been caught flirting around with her mechanized infantries by the paparazzi a few times.
Our economy is actually doing okay, since the Indian cities are full of cottages. But we could improve it further with the shrine.
great turns Fox ~ too bad you caught that worker ~ i like to automate one for trade routes later in the game every once in a while to make sure we have lots of railways ~ sort of like a public works program of sorts. I agree with Frank, i think. Let's neuter [or, i guess, spay (sp?) ] Vicky and turn our sights on Hannibal. If cathy stays in a fight, then we really *may* have a shot at it. However, by what condition, though? that's the question.
The Adventures of the Lonely Guy (hes screwed poor guy)
After reading both Greyfoxs and Pholk reports I take our army on the path to Nottingham.
In addition we also revolt to Representation and Bureaucracy. It takes 3 turns and just hate losing those turns but feel once we get Seoul/Rome netted they will be able to hold more specialist. After looking around there were enough specialist to warrant representation although it didnt look like it helped much and hit us in the finances. We also have some unhappy as a result from the war but once we make peace that will be gone.
Going to representation was maybe a bad idea since Cathy prefers HR over that.
We arrive at Nottingham and it is lightly defended.
Lonely guy is getting all excited thinking maybe he can get Vicky for a sidekick. Although she is kind of homey Lonely guy doesnt care now.
As instructed by the Great General Greyfox we raze the city of Nottingham and move on to the next.
This is all the cheap @##@ will give us? The Greyfox deal was much better.
I really thought she was joking and tried again. Mmmmm thats for real. Ok on to the next city.
I did try several times to get a tech but no go with this one.
1888 ad
We get a great merchant (I can hear Greyfoxs scream LOL) Will we ever get a frikkin GP probably by the end of game by the looks of it. Well lets just send that puppy to Moscow and kiss up to Catherine.
(keep an eye on this guy he is in Russian territory and after some checking think he might be in danger)
1889
We take York and raze it Pyramids and all. Does this even get her to think about capitulating or offering a better deal. NOT not even close to Greyfoxs deal.
I decide we should take it for now and did again try to get some techs. Heres the main reason why I felt we needed peace with Vicky. (PS I couldn't find that Newcastle and took it out as the only time an AI offers a city is when it's a craphole - no thanks let that be her burden.)
First, I make this trade with Catherine:
I notice a few things that are disturbing me.
1. Cathy has a transport and destroyer in our waters near Pyongyang.
2. Izzy/Hannibal have Mech infantry now including Saladin.
Mechs pretty much make Gunships totally useless. We need bombers bad soon otherwise we're screwed because here is the next disturbing thing:
Now she may be just going for Hatty again but I doubt it as she is pleased with HC. She is also cautious with Hatty so I suspect even though she is pleased with us is targeting us next. Just a hunch, my gut feeling. Either way we better get our armed forces together as against mechs (gunships blow) we are screwed.
Unfortunately or fortunately I did build nothing but cavs in Cumae but we should have built tanks instead. I would consider giving any further promotions to tanks be armored since they arent far from Modern Armor either. (just need composites now)
Maybe Catherine is going after Vicky or Hatty. If she asks us for assistance, I'll be sure to join in. Meanwhile, I'll beef up our defense along the Russian border but it's doubtful we can hold out if Catherine goes postal on us.
We are only a few turns away so will have gunships however we need bombers more and lots. They are great for weakening mechs as they may have air defenses but rarely counterattack bombers.
In hindsight I don't think Cathy is after us but I got paranoid when I saw the destroyer/transport in our waters. She's declared on me in SP games even when pleased so I don't trust her the flirty one.
What concerns me with Vicky/Asoka basically out of the way and Izzy/Cathy buds we may have to face Cathy sooner or later.
I suggest we get our nets rebuilt and some infrastucture. We barely have any universities so that's maybe a clue as to why our science is so slow. For that matter we don't have any observatories either. Cumae is are only production city military wise. Rome/Chittagong aren't bad but again the only city offering lots of XP is Cumae.
Radio next would be good and build a ton of tanks/bombers. Throw in a few gunships too to accompany the stack. The only thing is keeping the bombers in range of the stacks coming at us when they do. Imo we will need probably 10-20 bombers. Good luck Frank.
Uh oh, I picked up the save but it's dated 1880. I think it should be 1890 instead. The save I have shows Vicky as still owning Nottingham and York and we're still at war with her.
