The Treasury: modern armor-->modern armor
The Gulag: jet fighter-->jet fighter
The Silo: modern armor-->modern armor
The Aerie: modern armor-->modern armor
The New Yard: mobile sam-->mobile sam
Oka: worker-->submarine

We have pollution only on the mountain at the Silo:

Internal Affairs

-Our new jet fighter goes to the airfield in the west. So airlift a worker back to the mainland.
-Since I started the turn trying to get done by the deadline, I made a few movements of our workers before realizing Yilar and donsig had made some excellent suggestions. I started a barricade on the fortress at the The Treasury and then used 17 slaves to start on the pollution at the Silo. Neither of these will cause delays in production. I'll take the next turn much slower and get Yilar's suggestions for irrigation done.

-We hire a policeman in The Bayou for a destroyer in one less turn.
-A policeman was put to work at The Ways.
-We now have 4 mobile sams on SCI.

Navy and EWS

Saber's ships have spread out more and there are less of them in our area as they shift more towards Free. There are no transports within range of our shores. I'm still making movements outside of the range of our EWS and there are no transports seen anywhere. Free and Saber's 11-tilers still show no sign of activity.

Domestic Affairs

We have 774 gold losing 197 gpt with science set at 80% for the laser due next turn.

Military Affairs

We have 169 units making 160 gpt.

Foreign Advisor

No new techs are learned this turn.

F7

Saber is no longer building the UN, so they must have either built the Pentagon or the Military Academy.

Demographics

We drop to #3 in approval and are still #1 in mfg and productivity.

PrinceMyshkin · Nov 9, 2008

We learn the laser and set research temporarily to robotics, though we won't be putting any research towards it this turn.

The first order of business was to open the foreign advisor and send dyes to Saber with accept.

The Chamber: modern armor-->modern armor
The Treasury: modern armor-->modern armor
The Gulag: modern armor-->modern armor
The Arboretum: jet fighter-->jet fighter
The Institute: modern armor-->modern armor
The Meeting Room: submarine-->submarine
BABEcolony: worker-->worker

The Bayou, The Ways, The Meeting Room, The Nursery and The Pier go into civil disorder this turn.

We have new sources of pollution at The Admiralty and The Silo.

Internal Affairs

-We clear pollution on the mountain SW of The Silo with one worker (AutomatedTeller) and put its citizen back to work. Four workers and a slave start to clear pollution on the mined grassland west of The Silo. We do not set the citizen to work the polluted tile as the modern armor will complete next turn anyway. This will save us 2 gold this turn.
-We clear pollution at The Admiralty with four slaves and four workers and put its citizen back to work to allow for the modern armor to complete next turn.
-We move a mobile sam on SCI to the rubber source and leave two on our ivory source.
-We airlift our new worker from BABEcolony to the mainland to help complete worker tasks.
-The Marina is set to a transport.
-Sigh, again I didn't pay close enough attention so our new jet at The Arboretum was used on a reconnaissance mission. This, however, did aid in revealing all of Saber's ships to the west. It will or should redeploy to the airfield near The Treasury next turn.
-One mechanized infantry at The Admiralty is airlifted to SCI.
-Two policemen are changed to entertainers at The Bayou for this turn.
-A citizen is taken off the irrigated grassland at The Igloo this turn and given to The Ways which hires an entertainer, if I'm reading my notes correctly. This will keep The Ways from losing a population this turn as its granary is empty and will not slow production at The Igloo. One gold is lost, but even more would be lost next turn if The Ways lost a citizen, so I believe this will be a net gain.
-Two citizens are taken off the mountains at The Pier and The New Yard gets switches a citizen from one mountain to the gem mountain this turn gaining four gold. The Pier has its citizens switched to specialists to keep it from rioting next turn.
-We set The Greenhouse to a worker as it is not getting a bonus from mobilization with its tile assignments anyway.
-We switch The Hideaway to a worker for the same reason as above.
-A policeman is switched to a taxman at The Whale Pond saving a gold and its submarine will still complete in 2 turns.
-The Phoenix has a citizen removed from a coastal tile this turn and made into a taxman for a turn. It has a nearly full granary.
-Oka will grow in two turns and is not getting any mobilization bonus so is switched to a worker.

Navy and EWS

Our navy and air force reveal no transports within range of our homeland and ship traffic is normal. Free and Saber's 11-tile islands were scouted for activity at their airfields and none was noticed. A cruiser joins the Chamsuri battlegroup north of The Whale Pond.

Domestic Affairs

We set the luxury slider to 0% and have 577 gold with 664 gpt in the treasury.

F3

We have 181 total units costing us 184 gpt in support. We are still weak to Free and Saber and strong versus The Babes.

Foreign Advisor

We send dyes to Saber with accept.

No new techs were learned by the other teams this turn.

F7

No new wonders are shown being built.

Demographics

At 80% science at the start of the turn most of the demograpics are the same, though we drop to 3rd in approval rating with our lack of luxes. We are now #2 in military service which is a nice improvement. At 0% luxury rate we are 3rd in productivity and gnp, but are still #1 in manufacturing.

I don't feel this was the best turn I could have played, but everything is still going alright.

Baby_puss has wines for dyes, I accept/send

Chamber MA->MA (1 turn)
Admiralty MA->MA (2 turns)
Treasury MA->MA (1 turn)

Silo MA->MA (2 turns)
Aerie MA->MA (2 turns)
Nursery Sub->Sub (8 turns)
Marina Transport->Transport (12 turns)
Red Tape sub->Sub (4 turns)

No disorder, no pollutions

Internal Affairs

Not a lot - there is probably a lot more I could have done, but I wanted to get the save out and I spent a lot of time figuring out what was what.

Navy and EWS

Our navy and air force reveal no transports within range of our homeland and ship traffic is normal. Free and Saber's 11-tile islands were scouted for activity at their airfields and none was noticed.

Domestic Affairs

We kept the slider at 0%. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what the effect of this would be - if we run 2 turns at 70%, 2 at 80, 1 at 90 and 1 at 100%, we can get robotics in 6 and spend 7 more gold than if we got it in 7 (once we take into account the extra gold we make for 0%) If we researched 7 turns at 70%, we would get robotics, but we would not be able to turn research down at all along the way. This way, we have flexibility. I'll set up a discussion on what to research next so we know what to do by the time the save comes around next.

F3

We have a 191 total units costing us 204 in support. We are still weak to Free and Saber and strong versus The Babes. However, I think we are close to being average to FREE (they have 201 units) - SABER has over 300 units.

Foreign Advisor

We send dyes to Saber with accept. I don't know if any new techs were learned this turn.

F7

No new wonders are shown being built.

Demographics

I didnt' look at the demographics - I will be sure to do so next turn. One thing I noticed is that FREE has a lot of culture - not as much as us, but a lot anyway.

I did a quick count of what I think the other teams have in terms of units and unit support:

FREE (based on our most recent maps) has 51 towns, 30 cities, no metros, for 141 free units. they have 212 total units, so are paying 142 gpt in maintenance.

SABER (based on our most recent maps and what I extrapolate is in the core) has 20 cities and 47 towns, for 107 free units. they have 312 units, so they are paying 410 gpt in maintenance!! Course, they have smith's, so they aren't paying upkeep on markets, etc. (they do have smiths, right?)

We could reduce our unit upkeep by adding a few aqueducts - they would easily pay for themselves (2 more free units each vs. 1 upkeep).

Next turn set will have more detail and I'll MM better.

AutomatedTeller · Nov 20, 2008

Turn 238 1220 AD

Lots of cities finish stuff.
Find a stack of 9 transports, 2 carriers, 4 cruisers and a destroyer southwest of the council, threatening The Nursery. Plus some other random stuff, but no other transports in range of our land.

Investigate Kukri, Estoc and Cattauragus, assuring that no other forces are sitting around.

Airlift a mobile sam onto our airfield in the mountains near The Pier.

Upgrade all tanks to MA.
MM according, mainly, to Yilar's great guide, setting The beach, the red tape and the Nursery to build mobile sams instead of MA. Move the MS from the phoenix to The Institute to protect the airunits there. (The Nursery has a SAM battery)

Draft Mechs from The Red Tape, The Squeeze and The Marina.

Battle log:

Jet tries to bomb a 1/4 cruiser east of SCI, misses.
Cruiser attacks 4/4 destroyer south of the new yard, promotes to 2/5.

I moved a bunch of workers around so they can reroad/rail enough so that units should be able to get any landing force that ends up in the clear.

Stack 9 vet mechs, 3 conscript mechs, 4 marines, 10 MA in The nursery. Stack 4 mechs on the radar tower.

If they can get through that with 8-12 bombers, 12 marines and not a lot of shore bombardment... well, I think there are too many units to kill, to be honest.

We have 59 MA currently, with 13 more finishing next turn.

Set lux to 10%, fire all entertainers.

We have 61 gold, making 562 next turn.

Move 2 transports up to SCI, in case we want to move Mechs to the mainland next turn. Move BB and carrier group south.

Relocate all bombers to mainland.

We now have 59 MA

3 jets NE of the The Pier go on CAP.
Figher in the Arboretum goes on CAP

Screw up, have another bomber shot down.

Mobile SAM in The Shallows

Airlift a SAM to the airbase near The Pier

Builds

Rush a MA in the squeeze for 296 gold
Rush an MA in the Shallows for 360
Rush an MA in The Marina for 408
Rush a worker in the greenhouse for 36
Short rush a worker then settler in The Silo and MM to get an MA next turn

Draft from The Beach, The Marina, The Silo, The Chamber, The Bayou, The Treasury
Move carrier into the Squeeze, put Jet on CAP, move carrier to The Meeting Room

Abandon The Whale Pond, leaving 4 Mechs on the island

We should get another 9 MA next turn.

We'll almost certainly lose 2 transports, probably 1 destroyer, maybe 2 BB and a cruiser, maybe not.

If they land in force on the clear, we'll have nearly as many MA as they land forces, which will make the battles very interesting indeed.

Unless I missed something (and I checked closely), every Metro/mountain is set up as close to the plan as is possible. The northern cities each got a mobile sam and cities that had regular MA or conscript mechs got marines or additional conscripts. I also covered the radar towers with conscripts and put 1 conscript mech in The Greenhouse.

The Nursery: Helicopter 10 (No, I don't think we'll use it, but it gives us some flexibility later, if we want)

Build another airfield on the mountain next to the treasury, rebuild the mine.

Airlift 1 worker, 6 vet MA and 1 regular MA to SCI.

Set 1 citizen in The Marina to a taxman, so losing ivory won't send it to a riot.

I think we should set science to 10% next turn, btw.

AutomatedTeller · Dec 13, 2008

Not much happening

I tried bombing the battleships and destroyers off of SCI. That was a bad idea.

Battlelog:

3 Jets bomb the battleships and destroyers.
1 gets shot down by AA
1 misses
1 does 1 hp damage

Rushed a transport in The Phoenix, set up a 2 transport invasion of Cattaraugus next turn.

Moved a destroyer closer to that 1 hex tile (I had moved it some in the EWS before)

Turned the builds that had been MA into TOW builds - did you guys know that TOW's are more expensive than Mechs? It's cause of the bombardment, I'm sure.

We have ivory and rubber, 1269 gold, making 501 gpt

AutomatedTeller · Dec 26, 2008

Gold 1799. 517 gpt.

Did Yilar's MM (Mountains gems from The new Yard to The pier, instead of policemen. (use another mountain tile instead)
Mined sugar from the Bayou to the Pier, instead of lake tile. (use flood plains instead).
The Bayou will be at 30spt and The Pier 35spt then, enabling them to produce 1 nuke sub and 1 destroyer every 4 turns.
Cut forest at The ways and mine it (+1 food).
Change 1 Policemen in The gulag to taxmen
Switch mobile sam build to MA build in The Aerie.
Irrigate bg 2 squares south of The Aerie and give it to The igloo instead of The silo (move forest tile).
Build Bomber in The Igloo.
Give newly freed forest tile instead of taxmen in Chamsuri's Cove.
Switch build to nuclear sub in Chamsuri's Cove to minimize waste without having to utilize gold.)

Also, changed The Treasury and The Chamber to build Marines (120 shields), so we had a couple more of those.

Non MA cities are building SAMs/ships.

Moved transport with 1 settler, 3 Mechs, 2 Sams to spot 7 tiles from 1 tiler with rubber.

Moved 2 transports with 3 marines from ACI west
Moved sub west
Airlifted worker to mainland. Fortified rest of units on ACI. If we still want the rest off, we can shipchain most of them off next turn (unless SABER sinks our ships, of course)

donsig · Jan 8, 2009

Summary:

Landed on the one tile rubber island. Evacuated ACI except for one mech infantry. Started economics at 20%, lowered lux to zero and hired clowns and specialists to avoid riots if we lose ivory. Sold some buildings. Continued building units (3 jets, some nuke subs, marines and armor). Moved 3 jets into place as we work towards a standard EWS. Workers inactive. No pollution. We have two cities with food deficits that should be addressed.

Turn log:
SABER offers peace. We assume it is a mistake. I click on Clear Table.

Builds:

Spoiler :

Checked diplo screens:
SABER still needs: music theory, navigation, advanced flight, nuclear power and miniaturization.
FREE needs all those and sanitation.

EWS recon
EWS shows only 3 FREE cruisers - no rival transports.

Spoiler :

Moved nuclear sub from The Pier E-E-E-SE-SE-SE to cover EWS point 10.
Moved destroyer from eastern transport stack NE-NE-N-N to cover EWS point 8. The destroyer still has 5 movement points remaining.

Moved other destroyer in eastern transports stack to scout one tile rubber island. After moving E-E-E we see a FREE battleship (the John McClane) two tiles to the south. Continued moving E-E-E and the rubber tile is still open. Looks like BuyOneGetOneFree is not garrisoned. This destroyer has 3 movement points.

Set research to 20%, lux to zero and start economics (4 turns).

Ran EWS. It's all clear of rival transports. Still 3 jets short:
Transport in The Nursery moves SW-SW-SW-S-S to cover one of The Intsitute's points. It has 2 movement points left to move back.
Destroyer east of The Ways moves E-NE to cover one of the missing points that can't be covered by the eastern airfield.
Destroyer in The Shallows moves N-N. Has 7 movement points left to move back.
Nuke sub in The New Yard moves SW-S-SE-SE-SE and has 1 movement point to move back.

Destroyer east of The ways continues to move 5 tiles SW to cover THe Igloo's point. Still has 2 movement points to move back.

Destroyer east of The ways continues to move W-W back towards home.
Tranport from The Nursery comntinues to move NE-NE towards home.
Destroyer from The Shallows moves S-S back to port.
Nuke sub from The New Yard continues to move N.

Founded The Old Gong Isle. Rushed a worker for 80g. Switched to airport and rushed for another 600g. Fortified all units there.
Destroyer and transport near The Old Gong Isle move 7 tiles W and the destroyer fortifies.
Western transport moves into The Nursery and unloads.
Western sub moved into The Dislodged so FREE doesn't accidently sink it.

Built two forts near The Arboretum.

The Treasury is low on food, gave it a tile from The Bayou.
Changed police in The Institute to tax men.
Changed ACI cites to wealth and moved mech inf to The Bangles to quell resistance.

We have 2170g, +401gpt and econ in 3.

EWS notes:

Used 22 jets for recon. Departed from normal with one jet from The Institute since it's normal area is already covered by ships. Used this jet to recon the one tile south of The Pier that would normally be covered by a sub from The Pier. This leaves the sub free to attack SABER ships if we decide to do that.
Have to cover one spot NE of The Shallows with a destroyer. The new jet in The Arboretum will move to the eastern airfield this turn to complete the air part of the EWS.
The destroyer in The Shallows moves N-N to recon the two tiles not normally covered by jets. It then moves E-4NE-E to cover the hole mentioned above. It has two movement pointf left.
The carrier in The Dislodged moves W-W-SW to recon 7 tiles not normally covered by the jets. It has 5 movement points left and will move back to port.

Here's the EWS template.
