Race Wars 1: Nordic Sagas

i don't think we should worry about capturing cities. We're so close to the end game, that just razing will allow us to quickly finish this. Do we really need to worry about Arabia filling the vaccum we create from ruining the aztecs? I don't. They'll reduce their population in their core cities when they should be strongest, and will stretch defenses as well. If we ally with them, they may capture some cities, but as long as we get the core destroyed, the out-lying cities will require another assult but will fall easily when it's time. We *NEED* a MA with Arabia or I can almost ensure we'll be fighting a 2-front war.
 
The save, 1535AD

OK, how do you attach a file as opposed to imbedding this link?

Pre-flight, 1485AD, Turn 287
Well, we got the anarchy thing, 5 more turns, going so I’m not going to do much checking.
We have pulled the Arabs into the war on our side. They wanted horses but I tossed them some gems.
Zerk from boat kills LB and captures settler near Arab-Viking boarder.

Turn 1, 1490AD, Turn 288
Two spears killed at Jilotzingo by zerks.
Zerk falls to spear at new Tlacasomthing and brother zerk kills off spear and auto razes.
Army attack New Texcoco and autorazes.
Tlatelolco attacked. We kill two muskets w/ vet zerks and loose elite zerk to regular musket.
Cav and zerk kill off two defenders in Tequixquiac
Cav army collects 25g from barbs.
Zerk kills strike out of Ironthief to pre-empt LB and promotes to elite.
Zerk army attacks Chiauhita and kills off pike

IBT: Horse attacks Ironthief and kills MI and takes the city.
Turn 2, 1495AD, Turn 289
Zerk takes back Hammerfest.
Cav and zerk kill off two defenders and take Tequixquiac
Zerk army kills off two more pikes and take Chiauhita
Arabs are clogging the narrow land bridge over to the Aztec lands.

IBT: Musket, cav and 2 LB approach Curovernum.
Turn 3, 1500 AD, Turn 290
Dump off two zerk in Curovernum. First zerk kills off musket, second zerk dies redlining the cav. Have musket to defend agains two LB’s. We shall see.
Zerk Army take Chapultepec
Arabs are still hogging the chokepoint so I fan out the cavalry to stem the flow of units.
Army take Zitlaltepec.

IBT: Musket redlines LB at Curovernum but then falls. Second LB kills off zerk and takes the city. Kyoto riots. Arabs built Newtons in Medina.

Turn 4, 1505 AD, Turn 291
Found New Oslo
Kill off musket at Tula and generate GL. Going to keep the town, load up an Army and raze everything.

IBT: Anarchy ends and we install a Monarchy. Piece of crap Arabs still have the choke point monopolized. I’ll get some boats over there as this is just getting on my nerves.

Turn 5, 1510 AD, Turn 292
Moving boats over, more offensive action, etc.

IBT: Looks like the Aztecs are going to unplug the choke for me but then they just sit there as well. Fine, we’ll load up and land behind them. Ha!

Turn 6, 1515 AD, Turn 293
Take Ayotzinco.
I'm getting caught up in just getting these turns over and into the hands of the next player. Sorry for the lack of detail but I'm not sure it matters much at this point.

IBT: The Arabs seem to be enjoying this war just a little too much. Much bloodletting.

Turn 7, 1520 AD
Kill more stuff, Take Coyotepec...
Form zerk army in Tula
Abu has Nationalism

IBT: Oow-ah, Arabs pour through the chokepoint killing about a half dozen Aztecs. Aztecs strike back and kill off a few AC. Arabs finish off Bach's so we'll have to change to something big.
Turn 8, 1525 AD
We switch Bach's to a Military Academy at the loss of no shields.
Kill calv on northern island w/ zerk army and move back to Tula to heal. There's more action up here that I expected.
Land Army next to Tenotichlitan
Zerk kills musket in Thenochipipy and razes the city.
Aztec units killed and a settler captured, blah, blah, blah...

IBT: Aztecs seem to focusing their units on the Arabs.
Turn 9, 1530 AD
Found Stockholm.
Kill off more cities but they still have a bunch scattered far and wide.

IBT: More killin’
Turn 10, 1535 AD
Celts dropped off a cavalry near Washington. As earlier, there’s not much defense in place or reaction force to kill it. We manage to take a hp off but the MI dies trying. We rush a few muskets and a cav in nearby cities to handle this next turn but we’re going to loose a city over this lapse in defense.

We have troops all over killing Aztecs. It's a bit wild but it seems to be working. Six armies, 20 Cav, 20 Zerks, 18 Galleons and 52 muskets! It's hard to believe we have that many muskets as it seems like we still have plenty of undefended cities and cities defended with MI.
 
BTW, it's been 72 hours since I posted without comment. Were my turns that bad?

I captured most of the Aztec cities attacked and in some cases left them without a garrison but with one in route.

Bede
Alerum
JB <== Just played
SmellinCoffee <== Up
Sir Bugsy <== On deck
 
ACK! I didn't even see you post JB! I'm so sorry! Work has been heteic the last few days. Was actually great turns! Lots of cities taken and I don't remember seeing any losses. Don't feel bad about detail... is at the point where we all know where we stand, what needs to be done, and how we're going to get there so I think just major events need be listed.;)

I don't know if SC knows he's up or not... I'll send him a IM tonight and see whats up. If I don't see him tonight, we may need to skip him.:(:(
 
@jb,
Somehow I missed your post as well. Apologies and a belated :goodjob:

@alerum,
SC seems to have gone MIA in all his games, so I think a skip is in order.
 
OK, I've got the game, but it is number two on the list so I will probably take the full time allowed. I'm also up in the SGOTM so two war games will take some time. I'll see it I can get some screen shots up. Are we going for conquest or domination? Please refresh my failing memory.
 
I think conquest
 
I've been really busy with RL stuff, so I put a notation in my sig requesting that I be autoskipped until tomorrow, but I wrote down the wrong date. I tried telling Alerum, but he hasn't been on. Last night was the first I've been to CFC in weeks, not spending much time online at all.

My apologies if I caused any undue distress.
 
Pre-flight – There is a menacing Aztec cav near the front. Kill him. We’ll lose a settler on the IBT. Change a bunch of cities that are building military to barracks :rolleyes:

I offer Monty peace if he’ll give me everything and he’s very [pissed] Technologically we’re only down nationalism.

Wake up our zerk army in Chapsomething and kill a pike in Itsdabomb. Change Stavanger to a settler and rush for 16G.

Washington is going to fall next IBT – We have no defense in our back yard. It looks like a musket was rushed in Washington. Our build cycle comes after the Aztec turn so that was money wasted. Although I can see the idea, rush a musket in all nearby cities.

Monty has 20 cities. Let’s see if we can put a dent in that number.

IBT – Washington is burned to the ground. Sorry Monty no peace for you…ever!!!
Lillehammer is captured.

1. 1540 AD – Why don’t we have our cannons together?

Recapture Lilehammer. Capture Tzintzun. Capture Tlapsomething. Autoraze Itsdabomb. Thanks for all the go-to’s. Not even sure what went where. Reset preferences.

Hurry a temple to Elvis in Memphis

Is that all we have? We have units fortified all over the place. Capture Chiconaut.

We really need to get steam. I up the science slider to get steam in 9 turns. After rails we can drop it again.

Monty has dropped off a settler pair just north of where we just razed Itsdabomb. Something more to kill. :devil2:

We’re chopping a jungle no city can work.

2. 1545 AD – Capture Malinco. Kill two defenders in Tlaxsomething with an amphibious zerk attack and the bring up the cav army to capture the city. Capture Xochiwhatever and Monty’s saltpeter.

Kill the musket guarding the settler and we have two more slaves.

Find a galleon full of zerks forted. :rolleyes:

IBT – Tlacopan flips. We lose one redlined cav.

3. 1550 AD – AT Curov.., lose a zerk and kill a cav.
Recapture Tlacopan. Autoraze Alcatraz. Autoraze Chalco.
Our zerk army takes Huexola.

Hey Monty! How ya doin’? Down to what? 11 cities now. Sure you don’t want to just give them to me? No. Too bad, So sad.

4. 1555 AD – Capture Tenoc, the capitol. Capture Teohitucan and the Colossus.

We loaded a pike into a zerk army and our zerk army cannot attack from the sea.

Autoraze Chalcuhua. Found Alerumiun. Autoraze Twotitland. Capture Curovoium. Capture Teayo. Capture Ixtaplaca, oops sorry, it razed. Monty has been removed from his northern Island.

So Monty, How’s your 3CC working for you.

IBT – Monty has a counter attack! A cav is kiiled by a LB.

5. 1560 AD – Capture Tepexpan. Capture Texcoco. Monty is an OCC plus a settler on an island. Land some cavs next to the settler.

IBT – Tlaxcala flips. A new Aztec city is founded.

6. 1565 AD – Tlaxcala recaptured. Capture Calixsomething. Destroy the new city of Ixtaplaca Ididn’t I destroy that once already. We have destroyed the strong Aztecs.

Start setting up for Arabia and Egypt. Egypt should be a two turn war at the most.

7. 1570 AD - :sleep:
8. 1575 AD – Found Bedeheim.

IBT – Steam comes in. Go to lone scientist.

9. 1580 AD – We have two sources of coal. Start the strategic rail net.
10. 1585 AD – Workin’ on the railroad.

After Action Report – We could probably take out Egypt any time you want. You’ll find a force in Hafnafjordur. We will need to get some folks up to the Arabian frontier before you start that war. Just keep building cavs and cannon.

I have most of the workers arranged in 6 turn packs.

There is a good chance I won't see this game again. It's been nice playing with you guys.

Save: http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads8/RW,_1585_AD.SAV
 
WOW! 20 cities, in 5 turns! Awesome job Bugsy!! And from how easily you took care of the Aztecs, I don't see you getting another turn.:p

Bede, you're up. Seems the viks are going after 2 countries they only conquoured by trade, never by the sword....
 
Got it and will set up the killing blow for mine host.

Look for news tomorrow.
 
0-1585
Locate troops
1-1590
Move troops to cover exposed towns.
2-1595
RIng up Abu and suggest a gift of the knlwledge of Nationalism would guarantee peace between us . He's insulted, so I declare.

Four island outposts are easily razed and an Arab Expeditionary Force in the southern gateway to their lands is destroyed. Sana'a in the old Aztec lands is a little harder to crack and a zerk is lost to a spear.

Discover an Arab AC settler pair wandering in the north.

With Pentagon complete load the two cav armies to full. Remind self not to load zerk armies to full.

3-1600
Raze two more outposts and set up for invasion of Arab main from both north and south.

Seizing the landbrdige between Arabia and Azteca delayed by Arab land forces out of Tabuk, who take Tamuin.

4-1605
Retake Tamuin and sail zerks for Arab coast. Bombard Caidz but fail to take the ville.

Whittle down Arab forces in old Azteca. Take another island outpost.

5-1610
Cadiz falls and burns

6-1615
Repostioning and finishing railnet. Kill a few Arabs and set up the southern invasion force. Take another outpost towm.

7-1620
In the assault on Merw (the last Arab island outpost) Hubba is spawned by elite cav after SC* is killed by elite spear. Finish off the elite spear with a zerk and keep the town. Hubba forms an army and boards a waiting galleon. he'll be joined by the two cav's on the island then shifted to the southern flank of Arabia.

8-1625
Railnet is finished across the continent

Kill a couple of Arab longbows in the far north.

9-1630
Take Taif and hold it as it makes a nice place to keep an eye on Egypt.
Found New Birka on the Egypytian border on a choke. Found New Aarhus on the other choke.
MilAcad produces a General who races north and recruits a full complement of cavalrymen. The march into Arabia begins with a cav army, cannons and muskets. Kill an Arab MDI and capture two more slaves on the southern front. Rush a settler out of an Aztec city to provide a settler for the southern front choke point NE of Tabuk.

Zerk army razes Tabuk.

Somewhere in there managed to take away Abu's iron and horses, if he ever had any.

10-1635
Form up another cavlary army in the south. Seize the southern choke. Destroy an Arab force of bows and rifles, lose a cav. Unload a zerk army at Cempola to avoid sinking by Arab frigates. Raze the Arab city in Azteca lands on flank.

The southern choke is held by three armies, and a settler is on the way. The northern force is ready to march on across the tip of Arabia. As near as I can tell there are no counter threats at any of our strongholds. Jilotzongo rioted and there is an Egyptian knight nosing around. There are troops on the Egyptian border in case Cleo gets shirty. A couple of towns are on the verge of rioting so please check before hitting enter. The worker horde has been returned to the core to finish the terrain improvements there.

Abu has no offensive forces left, just rifles in defense and longbows for attack. I think I only saw one Arab cavalryman, a few MDI's and lots of longbows.

I would settle the choke south of Damascus, rush a barracks, heal up the armies, load some boats with zerks and zip right up the coast. In the north move the stack across to the coast, take the town and then move north to clear that flank, then move down the east coast with support from zerks in boats. Abu does have frigates wandering loose but when I took the little ville on the northeast of the Azteca lands I think I sunk his only troop transports. The rail net is complete from one end of the mainland to the other so getting reinforcement from the core to the front should not be a problem. When we clear the northern cities, move the worker horde up to run rails behind the advance.

Have fun alerum. This game was a blast and I hope I left you a rousing finish.
 
what is it with everyone and killing everything in sight?;);) I got it, and should hopefully be able to post in 24. Got SGOTM and commited to that first, so will do whatever I can to get it up tommorow.
 
Way to :hammer: Bede! A solid campaign strategy. This one is just about wrapped up. Hopefully Alerum can finish up his own game.
 
Turn 0 (1635AD)
Mental Note: Don't add to zerk armies.
mm some cities.

IBT
the ship bede was worried about falling and lossing our army actualyl lives and goes elite. Arab Frigate bombards a tile of our far north. (shrugs)


Turn 1 (1640AD)
Turn up sci. Don't know why I didn't do it last turn.
Bugsy's chargers takes out an arab settler/rifleman combo.
Tell Egypt to give us Democracy or we'll declare war. SHe refuses. Okay. Bye.
Declare war.
Take Sebennytus
Take Cairo, and some slaves.
Nagasaki will fall next turn.
Take Pi-Ramesses and pray it won't flip. Never, it's not worth it and we have settlers about ready. Disband the city.
With only a spear in Jilotzingo, and a knight on the way, I disband it. It's been a pain in the butt anyway.

IBT
friages bombarding us all over, but that's about it.
Knight takes out our spear and captures 2 workers.

Turn 2 (1645AD)
Take Damacaus, allowing us to build our choke point city this turn, and get those armies healed that much quicker. Army is stuck in the city though... hope it won't... you know.:p
LMAO! It doesn't matter... someone built a barricade so I lost the movement point and have to wait til next turn anyway. Oh well.
Take Nagaski. Egypt still lives. Where is that settler?!
Destroy the Arab city of Shihr.

IBT
another galley goes elite due to arabs.;)
Rifleman takes out a zerk who just destroyed Shihr.

Turn 3 (1650AD)
Found New Odense on the Arab choke site, near Damacus. Rush barracks.
Kufah is rioting... humm... wonder if we cut off something by take out egypt like that.
Almost take Muscat. Oh well. Next turn.
Get great leader fighting Kufah.
Take Kufah. Is probably going to flip, but it's a good location, and we can't let the culture between Mansura north and Medina south reconnect.
Take and Raze Anjar

IBT
stack of longbowman take out 2 cavs and the cannons they were defending.
egyptian ship falls to our galley.
Nationalism coms in. Set to communism at min.

Turn 4 (1655AD)
It has begun! Disband Damascus.
Create the army
LMAO! Use an injured unit to take out a Longbowman near Kufah, and we get another leader! Send him to Kufa with some Cav to make an army. Send army out of Kufah.
Take out Egyptian ship, but didn't kill their settler. I hate when that happens.
Raze Muskat



IBT
lost 2 armies!! Oh wow, that was bad. But found the egyptian settler.
Kufah flips, with no units inside.


Turn 5 (1660AD)
Retake Kufah, but raze it this time.
Raze Mansura. The north is safely ours now.
Just happen to have a ship with zome zerks right next to the 1 tile city that Egypt just founded. How lucky is that?!
Unload army in Xochicalo then use galley to try and take out frigate. It doesn't work and so we have to rush a galley in Xochicalco. (rolls his eyes) I'm playing this very badly.
Raze Basra.

IBT
a zerk army falls to a longbowman. Damn, that's the 3rd zerk army I've lost by having him land in enemy lands. We don't have enough solo zerks for this though.:(

Turn 6 (1665AD)
Destroy Pi-Ramesses, and finally take the egyptians with us!
Found New Hareid

IBT
Loose a cav near Medina.
Notice a Arab unloading of rifleman... somewhere.


Turn 7(1670AD)
We Take Mecca. Has the temple of art, The pyramids, and The Great Library. I want the Pyramids, so I keep it. Hope it won't flip, but leave the army next to it in case it does.

IBT
Not much... small arab movement, and we build some units. I think they're almost out of gas.

Turn 8 (1675)
Position units for Medina.
Raze bukra with a zerk army.
Their huge culuture is making this very difficult, even for our fast movers.

IBT
empty galley kills frigate.
our musketman falls to a rifleman.
cav falls to longbowman.

Turn 9 (1680AD)
Raze Medina, with Statue of Zeus in it.
continue to use workers to make a long railroad line from the core to arab lands... I'm able to drop off units much quicker, but still takes at least 2 turns a city due to their culuture size.:(

IBT
Lose a galley with our army in it. Why was I stuck with lossing so many armies in galleys?!


Turn 10 (1685AD)
Nothing... battles at Baghdad, and Fustat and took out a rifleman near Khurasan. They still have a potent navy, and it's really prevented anything but cav attacks. Anything I put in a boat seems to be sunk..

I'll stop here, and post to the site. It's going to take longer then I first thought. I was planning on taking baghdad... they have alot of units in their cities. Alot. I'm getting about 6-8 units in most cities... took 2 armies, and 4 cavs to take Medina, and Baghdad is going to take the same.

Just keep taking a city, removing it's culuture and using the huge stack of workers I have there to make railways.... should be enough to break in half at some point and get 2 stacks going north and south to make sure it goes even quicker.
Is going to take 10 turns, and you need to get an galleon up north and take out Yamama. on that little island.

It's been fun playing with y'all, just wish I could have left my last turn set a bit cleaner. Any ideas for Race Wars 2?;)
