Lampness · May 9, 2006

Anyways, I played my turns. And I think we should declare during the next turn-set, for sure. We're ready.

About my report...I decided to exit notepad without saving :blush:

, so here's a short summary:

3rd-4th turn, Cyrus cancels Silks for Cows deal.
4th-5th turn, Qin starts his golden age.
7th or so, Cyruses golden age ends.

Here's some screenshots:
Power graph:

Our units in Memphis, ready to go (there are a few still walkin' there)

And finally, here's the save:

Lobsterboy · May 9, 2006

Looking good, and we'll have Cavalry soon!

Looks like the honor of declaring war will fall to Penguin! Be sure to move the troops to just off the Chinese coast before serving them with our declaration. I think that we have several deals going with China, so this might sting initially. Hopefully those resources will be ours soon! :hammer:

Lobsterboy · May 10, 2006

Roster:

Idle - (still idle?) :hmm:

UNC Penguin - gettin' ready?
Ralph
Lobsterboy
Lampness - just played

Has anyone heard from idle? If not, I suggest that 'Penguin go ahead and pick it up.

UNCpenguin · May 10, 2006

i can get to it tomorrow

Ralph_Jackson · May 10, 2006

Go for it and have fun because we all know that despite deep discussion on beelining, tech trading, building culture and spreading religion what we really want do is apply some :hammer:

to the opposition.

Ralph

p.s. I have pmed Idle to let us know when he is back in circulation and can rejoin us

idle · May 11, 2006

Hi guys!

Things seem to go pretty well, I see.

I won't be able to play for a few days yet. There was a mixup with the shipment for the new gfx card. I'll let you know when I'm good and ready to go.

idle

Lobsterboy · May 12, 2006

Hey Penguin! Where you at, son?

@idle: Glad to see you're still with us. I hope we'll be able to put you back in the roster soon.

UNCpenguin · May 13, 2006

Hey y'all, sorry for the wait. I havent been able to get to it, so skip me ill be back to rotation next time. Mamas day and my bday screwed my schedule but im over it heh hopefully.

Ralph_Jackson · May 13, 2006

No Problem, I will take it and keep your slot for you in the next rotation

ralph

p.s As there are only a few of us in the rotation might go back to 15 turns each. Until Idel and UNC are back in to keep the game moving.

Ralph_Jackson · May 14, 2006

Well this was an interesting set of turns. Not sure if it turned out well or not but the game is at least becoming more fun :devil:

Pre turn

Turn down research a tad to generate funds to promote our 2 City Raider 2 swordsmen to Grenadiers as they will be nice attackers.

Turn 1

Arrange forces into groups on Galleons and load up the troops

Turn 2

The best laid plans of Mice and men!! About to despatch Galleons towards China when this happens.

Turn 3

UMMM Now I did toy with ignoring it as Isabella is weak but decided that if that is what the RNGods decide then so be it. Dramatic change of plan and lets take down Isabella. Apologies, normally I would stop and ask at this point but as the game has been progressing pretty slowly decide just to plough on. It may be a :smoke:

move in game turns but it feels like fun to try and take down the Buddhist Alliance starting with Issie.

Turn 4

Screenshots playing up but we take down a small two Galleon Raiding force with a frigate near Mecca and then sweep up the ground forces.

Turn 5

Galleons despatched to land near cordoba

Turn 6

Forces ready to land

Turn 8

We take Cordoba and prepare for Issie Counter Attack

Turn 9-11
Mop up Issies counter attacking SOD and heal untis in Cordoba

Turn 13-15

Forces despatched toward the Heart of Issies kingdom

End of Turn report

Apologies for the intermittent screenshots this function in Civ hasn't playe dup for a while but is now.

Qin is a monster but we have to take down Isabella first unfortunately and hope he hasnt run away with the game. If we also take down Fred and Washington we might get a domination win which sounds like the best plan!!

Our Economy is fine it is just Qins that is scary

So I believe we stay on a war economy and just push relentlessly through Isabella then Washington then Fred, sounds simple ehh!!!

Note Issie has a frigate up North somewhere that sank one of ours, we have 1 healing up there but will need to protect our Galleons ferrying troops. We could upgrade our Galley!?

Spoiler :

Lobsterboy · May 14, 2006

Isabelle... :lol:

I'd say she timed that just about right. It might of been worse had she declared when our Galleons were already half way to China! We needed to attack the Buddhists eventually. The only reason we couldn't was because we didn't want a war with all three. Now we've got our war, and we haven't hurt our relations with Fred or George! Best of all possible worlds, really.

I'd be surprised if Isabelle were ablet to convince George or Fred to declare on us, but we'll see.

Good turns Ralph!

I downloaded the save, and will play this evening if not sooner.

Lobsterboy · May 14, 2006

Oh yeah,

@Penguin: HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (belatedly)

Lobsterboy · May 15, 2006

Inherited Turn 364 (1682 AD)
Damascus is stagnant. Remove a Priest specialist, since we have an unworked forested grassland tile.
Basra needs a Lighthouse more than a Library, so switch.
Notice that Isabelle's only Horses were outside Cordoba. :lol:

Turn 365 (1685 AD)
Cyrus asks for Open Borders. Eh. Why not?
Cordoba comes out of revolt. Hey! Isabelle built Versailles here! SU-WEET!
Galileo (Great Scientist) is born in Thebes. Sending to Najran for an Academy.
Upgrade Caravel outside Kufah to Frigate.
Upgrade City Raider II Axeman in Najran to Grenadier
Start bombarding the walls of Barcelona.

Turn 365 (1685 AD)
Whip Theater in Cordoba. (We need the border pop.)

Turn 367 (1691 AD)
Cavalry in Cordoba intercepts pillaging Musketman (probably headed to Cordoba's Horses).

Turn 368 (1693 AD)
Grenadier in Cordoba defeats Spanish Musketman (another pillager).

Turn 369 (1691 AD)
Barcelona falls.
Upgrade Galley to Frigate.

Turn 372 (1706 AD)
Upgrade Caravel outside New Mecca to Frigate

Turn 372 (1706 AD)
Isabelle sends another Musketman to try and pillage our Horses.

Turn 375 (1715 AD)
Begin moving troops toward Madrid

Turn 378 (1724 AD)
Trade George Rice -> Wheat
Barcelona comes out of revolt. Starving, so whip Theater.

Turn 379 (1724 AD)
Isabelle sends a a fourth Grenadier to pillage our Horses outside Cordoba. This units are spawning from Santiago, which we can't see. It must be East of Barcelona in the fog.

Turn 379 (1724 AD)
Toledo captured and razed.

Madrid's defenses down to 32%. 3 more turns, and we can launch our assault. Isabelle has Grenadiers now, so watch that she doesn't upgrade her Longbowmen.

Here are the locations of our forces:

And a view of the conquered Spanish territory:

Economy steaming along at 40% (+47/turn); culture rate @10%, primarily to speed border pops of new Spanish holdings and in New Arabia/Second Island to put pressure on Qin and Fred's settlements there.

Not surprisingly, we are falling behind a little in tech to George and Qin.
Both have Rifling (neither will trade it.) We discover it in 8. Qin also has techs along the Scientific Method path.

Some of the units built during my turns I have left to provide some defense for our homeland. We've got some $$ to upgrade our outdated units if we need to, but I thought it best not to leave the homeland too underdefended.

The Save can be downloaded here. (It's too big (507 kb) for a simple attachment.)

Here's the turn log if anyone is interested.

Ralph_Jackson · May 15, 2006

Looks like a nice set of turns :goodjob:

I agree! I'm a warmonger at heart! I'm pretty lousy at diplomacy (but I'm getting better!)

I kind of goofed capturing Toledo when I did. I was moving that assault team through Germany with the intention of sending them to Madrid. I guess I got a little confused, and ended up next to Toledo. There were only two weak defenders there ( a CG1 Longbow and a Pikeman), so I decided to attack. I decided to raze it due to it's proximity to one of Fred's cities (Hamburg?), which was already putting some cultural pressure on it.

Unfortunately, we might have to wait until we knock of Bismarck to use them.

Ah! Thanks!

Ralph_Jackson · May 16, 2006

I think the Roster now is

(players can take 15 turn s if they want to keep things moving or stick to 10 instead if they wantr as 15 turns of war can be time consuming)

Lobsterboy Just played
Lampness Up
UNC Penguin Preparing
Ralph
Idle to slot in as soon as he's ready

UNCpenguin · May 16, 2006

Way to take it to Izzy! I think once most of our troops come back into our culutral borderes our economy will start to pick as well as when the cities come out of resistance.

Do y'all think we should wait for infantry and/or artillery for the next war?

Ralph_Jackson · May 18, 2006

Well as we haven't had a got it from Lampness if he deosn't post one and UNCPenguin feels like taking the turns just post a got it and away you go.

Cheers

Ralph

UNCpenguin · May 18, 2006
