RAT-02- Deity

[Shevek]

Well, I played it last night but could not post due to some problem with civfanatics.

So here it goes:
1762 - landing the workers
1764 - gift Rome 200g, but he is still furious
1766 - lux deal with China runs out, do not renew, some cities need re-arrangement, buy dyes from Otto (still furious), sell incense to Abe (now annoyed), we still have a lux deal with Rome
workers finish fortress, declare on Persia and land, give more gold to Otto and Rome,

1768 - no counter attack??? what's going on?, Persia must be gassed
only 4 arties get hits, battle was bloody, but we take it
still have 14 inf left and 8 injured cavs
holding breath now
make MA against Persia with Abe, he turns polite, China is at war with everyone else
give ROP to all apart from China and Persia

IT - X lands MA and cav on home soil, hold off attack by X on Parsargade, loose 2 inf

1770 - shuffle troops
IT - No vote is called, what's going on??
loose 7 inf at Pasargade
destroy troops in Scandinavia

1772 - nothing

IT - Persia signs up Rome against us, loose Roman silks, get some riots
Pasargarde desposes
I guess that's it, sorry.
We did take the city but no votes where called. Did we miscalculate the date?

I am not sure if it is worth to go on playing? We lost all our ships and the bulk of our troops.
I have attached the save for what it is worth.

oh well, what a turn out. you actually managed to get the city and held it, but no vote.

well, too sad...guess we are finished and next time do some better calculations about the votes...thanks for all the input for this difficult game.

mybe the vote gets called x number of turns after a new player takes control of the UN? No vote if the city is resisting?

Not according to the game played by XTeam's SGOTM2 (we have the link in an earlier reply).
They got a vote a turn after taking the city and they must have had some resisters in there.

OK, we lost the game (well, it's only a matter of time now as I can see no way in hell to recover and make good).
But we did manage to take Pasargade thanks to a really good set-up by the team. I think that's already an achievement (I had my doubts originally whether it was even possible to pull off).

I have concluded for myself that I have still a way to go to be ready for deity. I will work on improving my Demi skills.

Thanks all for an enjoyable experience.

thank you people, there were 2 good moments in this game. the huge stack taking on Ottoman and taking UN, but unfortunately, the rest didn;t work out as planned or hoped.

deity is winnable, it all boils down to starting location and resources. and whether you are next to monster Ottoman. I start to hate them.
