I can play if nobody else wants it but there's other players higher up in the queue than me.

compelling, sensitive, best, sexy, lovely, blabla Pharoah desendant, Hakizamanabag II is a great general. I vote him.
Edit ; wait a minute, Our King hasnt fought a war . Metahu, is it time to get (more) blood on your hands ?????

Thanks for the vote of confidence Mice, I couldn't actually think of anything compelling, sensitive, best, sexy, lovely, blabla to say about the king
pawelo
Emperor
Totally agree - Hakizamanabag II led our troops during the most glorious wars in our history, while our "King" stays in his royal domains near Heliopolis, spending time with Nubian slaves instead of leading Egyptian army.
every RP involves nubian slaves and concubines. It really is our central fantasy.Ah, if only civ was real.
Kill the Persians !! The call goes out to general "Hak" . It could be a longish war so someone else
king: ) could finish them off if needed.

Emperor
Ah, if only civ was real.
I don't know what you mean by this
I can take over after Haki II if it takes a long time to pull this through
That's Hakizamanabag II up by the sounds, with Pawelo jumping in if fatigue sets in, and Metahu taking the save for the final glorious turns.
Builds for my cities, easy , military builds.
We can go full culture or gold after Rifling right?

You forgot: .... and Wen Amon for the champagne
If we are going to halt research we should change to US and $rush units... Believe me, it is very effective. Or maybe full espionage for spy siege.....

Ok sounds like I've got it unless someone else pipes up in the next 4 hours.
I'll probably do what wise Wen Amon has suggested and swtich to US shutting down research and rushing units.
Espionage would be good but AFAIK we don't have any Espionage multipliers yet, maybe I'll just make Spy specialists and 100% money.
Anybody have any other ideas? I haven't looked at the save yet.

Here's a shot near the border. We can see our stack, and the mouse is over Cyrus' stack.
the privateer builds are probably supurfluous, and there are a few Theatre builds going on. I dont know if we'll need them.
I'd go for $ rushing too, and our hammer prod is pretty good.
Other cities of ours have cannons and cuirassiers in small numbers up around Cathy's border.
We have 6 frigates on Cyrus' coast.
Rifling in two as you can see.

Thanks Mice that's quite a nice stack I've inherited
P.S. Is that BUG mod showing the Great Person bar under the science bar?

Yea, BUG sneaked back into my cust assets. I thought I deleted it but it must have found it's way back.
The GPP clock is really good. It would be very good for philosophical.
There's maybe 7 or 8 other cannon floating around with as many cuirassiers too.

Fully agree on the BUG usefulness. It makes less painful to follow your cities and GP progress, especially when the game gets lengthy.
50$ - make great use of the stack and report us victory

No one would have believed that in the last years of the 18th century that Persian affairs where being watched from the scheming realm of Egypt.
No one could have dreamed we were being scrutinized as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water.
Few men even considered the possibility of attack from Egypt and yet across the ruins of Sumeria minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this Empire with envious eyes and slowly and surely they drew there plans against us.
At midnight on the beginning of 1740AD a loud blow from enormous horn sounded across the border and shook the Palace of Persepolis.
Across two-hundred- miles of wasteland deafeningly hurtling towards us came the first of the Cavalry that were to bring so much calamity to Persia.
As I watched there was another loud sound. It was the treachery of an Egyptian agent causing great turmoil and unrest Tarsus, allowing the horde of Cavalry easy victories.
And that how it was for the next 50 years, Mounted Devils galloping out from Egypt with bright yellow heralds holding a glimmering metallic weapons. A beautiful but somehow disturbing sight.
Catherine the Great assured me we were in no danger
She was convinced that we could hold together
against the might of Persia.
I didn't have much time this morning to play because last night I got hooked on a single player game as Mansa where I managed to peacefully settle a huge amount of land and had my best ever space race score 56000 pts for a 1910 landing, but I digress.
Here's a summary.
First turn found all the workers and woke them up started to get some lumbermills going not that it's going to matter much anymore.
Stayed in the same civics for the IBT. Moved the stack out of Kish and into Uruk as that would be the most logical place for Cyrus to attack. Rearange specialist to become Spies where possible.
Next turn most builds became 1 move units along the front line and 2 move units (currassiers) deep in our core. Switched civics to Uni suff, Nationhood, rush units declare on Cyrus. Strike a small hiccup when it turns out he has a defensive pact with Catherine, oops.
Pretty much all our cities are suffering from war-weariness so the culture slider goes to 40% we'll get rifling next turn though even at 10% science.
When rifling comes in all currasiers get a ridiculously cheap upgrade to cavalry
I decide to leave all the cannons behind and just hit out with spies and cavalry, which mostly goes to plan except that we have very few EPs on Cyrus initially, only enough for 1 revolt on turn 4.
The rest of the turns basically went move cavs, move spies, attack cities, capture cities.
Catherine was eliminated about turn 7 I think.
Cyrus has 1 city left which has 0% cultural defence and about 15-20 cavs waiting to attack next turn.
Unfortunately I couldn't finish Cyrus in 10 turns, which I planned all along to let Metahu have the glory
We're only at 50% land, all newly captured cities are on build culture and or culture tax is quite high so it shouldn't take too long to reach dom requirements.

Uhhh
, we might need to tech to medicine pronto.Brilliant bit 'o warring. I almost felt sorry for the Persians after reading that.
Metahu said he sucks at war , but even a suck at war general can take this city
Well the closing glory goes to the Metahu line. The Ramiccess line re-emerged as proud governors of Thebes and Elephantine. Slobahotep, Pawelo, Wen Amon, Cabledawg, and the deadly Hakizamanabag II all brought glory to their dynasties.
