PTW succession game

Before we finish the UN Ozzy declares on us and RoP rapes us out of a city.

Here's a shot of the dogpile.

Pre-flight - Nothing.

Turn 1
Mecca was starving so I stole tiles for nearby cities, added citizens and wound up w/ 1fpt and UN in 6 turns.
Trade Electricity to France for furs.
Trade Fission to Isabella for a butt-load of gold.

IBT
Celts join Otters in war w/ England
Isabella is building the UN. Maybe the Fission trade wasn't too smart? :confused:

Turn 2
Mine irrigated tiles in size 12 cities.
Join some more workers to cities.
We trade WM’s w/ Isabella
Otters want MPP. We trade WM’s.

The Ottoman’s have declared war on us! :eek:
:ar15:

IBT
Holy crap, they RoP rape us and take Shiraz! :mad:
A salt is bombed down to roads.
Otter tank and cav move across the boarder

Turn 3
We take back Shiraz and kill off the tank and cavalry.
We kill a couple of ships off.
Now for the dog pile… :D

Babs get Motor; Zulu get gems, ivory and Nationalism, Vikes get flight and ivory; Spain gets ivory; France gets Scientific Method; Iroquois get coal; Celts get gems and amphibious war. The Otters are now at war with everyone and we're buds w/ all others.

IBT
Renew RoP w/ Spain.
Otters buy peace w/ England. We couldn’t sign them up because they were already at it w/ Ozzy.
Spain and Babylon kiss and make up.
We lost our supply of incense
Scandinavians kill off a frigate. :viking:

Turn 4
UN in 3.
Kill off Otter tanks in our territory.
Mine more irrigated tiles.
Sink two frigates

IBT:
Scandihoovians sink another frigate. :viking:
Babylon makes peace w/ the Zulu.
Zero Otter units into our territory. Bite off more than you can chew there Ozzy?!
We turn down the research to 40% and will get Computers in 1. We’ll go to zero next turn to spread around some golden lovin’

Turn 5
Other than lobbing a few shells into Muscat we’re sitting tight.
I would like to use our workers to put down some forts on the Otter boarder but we’re getting a pollution tile each turn around Mecca so that takes priority.
UN in 2.

IBT
The Vikes have killed off the English. :viking:
Bactra riots. Should have rushed the market LAST turn.
Otters manage to bomb out one of our two salts.

Turn 6
Unload workers from across the channel and build up some forts.
Populate forts w/ tanks.
UN in 1. OK who’s going to be our competition?
Well, not like we can do anything about it due to all of our alliances but the Vikes have the most territory. :viking: Since they’ve just killed off the English I doubt they’re in good w/ the rest of the world.

IBT
Hit return… Oops, I forgot to spread around the cash. Oh well.
UN is ours!

Turn 7
Ta Da!

VERY NICE finish jb!!! :thumbsup: :love:
I see that I was wrong on the voter choice - I thought that it was by points... From the mini, Brennus must have been close too. All in all, a very good finish. Not the space win that Zarth wanted, but still a good win. I can't read the date, but I think we missed that too. Oh well.

It was very nice teaming with all of you. Perhaps we can do it again? Perhaps I'll create one. Is anyone interested? :hmm:
 
Excellent finish. :goodjob: Glad the UN finished when it did - I'm not sure how long we could have held out against Ozzy's army.

@R&L: I'm interested, but leaving for vacation for a week, if you start one, slot me in towards the end please :D
 
Count me in for another game. This is a great crew and I'm learning more than just a little.

I'll go back and take a look at Ozzy's army but other that a few token attacks across our border he didn't threaten a thing. The dogpile certainly redirected forces over to his boarder w/ Babylon.

If he really wanted to do some damage RoP raping us he should have taken Mecca. It would have been easy.

The finish date was 1475 AD. We had a score on the order of 5500 and were remembered by our people as Magnificent.

That is why the city and fortress on the neck were so important. He could have brought troops over using boats, but that would've allowed us to react.

I'm glad to see positive reponses, so I'll plan on it. Assuming Regent or Monarch level is OK. What about map style - pelago? I'd like to try a relatively unused civ. Also, PTW or C3C?
 
A thought about reputation...

We got 7 of the 9 votes without totally bribing all the other civs (which was an oversight on my part). I guess we conducted ourselves honorably.

However, if not at war w/ the Otters I would have happily thrown Ragnar to the bottom of a dogpile. :D

I never really gave rep much of a thought until I started palying SG's. I guess it pays to behave.
 
Ah, I forgot about the forted mountian pass. Yes, that was very strategic.

Regent or Monarch

c3c, standard, any civ, any time, any land

How about really going for the space race?
 
On the storm front, I'm waiting for this thing to get in gear again. It is current only moving at about 4mphs and hasn't hit the Gulf Stream yet where it should intensify before making landfall.

Good finish. I'm definately up for another. Would still be interested in an early space attempt or something that pushed the tech pace at top speed. Still one of wek areas, but improving.

Our start in this game was not the greatest. All that desert and plains did not help and limited our growth and commerce. Based on that I'm happy with a pre 1500 diplo victory.
 
OK, I will sign you 3 up for a new space race game. Should be posted by Monday.
 
Sounds good, but don't put me early in the rotation because of the storm. I my know a player or two who might be interested.

Can we push the tech pace fast enough in a regent or monarchy game? Any thoughts on version, I have all 3 available to play.
