(way off topic): If She-who-must-be-obeyed hasn't tried it yet, Popeye's Chicken sells precooked Cajun-spiced turkeys during the holiday season. If you like their chicken, I would suggest you try their turkey.
Rat 41 CCM - AW a first attempt
- Thread starter ThERat
- Start date
I got turkey from Bob Evans. We have used them before as it is a pain to do a turkey for two. By the time she does all the stuff she wants it cost 3 times what it would from them. I also have to be abuse the whole time as she moans about the work, I say lets eat out, but that draws fire as well.
I am about to start the last turn so not too much longer.

I see China and Germany already know COmbustion.
Zeps go 1 for 2 on Babylon boat that has been harassing Patras for some time.
Zeps go 3 for 3 on boats off Black Rock (Stone actually).
lost 2 cavs on 1 musket in Bactra. The 3rd got him. I could not tell, if the river ran in front or not. Did not matter as I tried on the other side as well (1-3).

IBT:
2 cavs were killed near Port town (0-2).
Inca land troops by Arabela.
{45} [147-20]
(10) 1826AD:

HA died on an AH musket (1-1).
e/HA kills AH knight and gets leader and I rush a Wat (2-1). Not because they are great, but just that nothing special is needed anyplace.
Tough AH arq as it was 1HP and an elite lawyer died on it. A second elite lawyer kills it (2-2). Zeps go 3 for 3 near black rock and Sol's sink a War Galleon there (3-2).
I have been rebasing zeps to Verona as it is about as far as we can and there have been boats there at times.We have an overrun of about 350 beakers, but you would have to flip scientist to get it lower. A lot of work for maybe 200 gold.
cavs go 5-1-1 at Megiddo
One slave.

e/cav kills last one (17-3).
There are no reported units in the land. Workers in the south have been putting rails to newly captured towns. A long line of workers in the east finished the line to the end. You can go in any direction. It would not be bad to get the NE and east connected. Possible with an eye to the towns making troops that are not on the rails.
A few small groups in the north were just working there way out to the nearest rail. We have line nearly to NE corner. I have been liberally building other than troops in many places as we have plenty for now and may as well get the libs/banks/markets up. Also happy structures could be done in places that have some left to build, but do not need them could be done as those are the places that will get the -2 happy
buildings.
One stack next AH town. If you want to form another stack there are plenty of cavs to be had. I just did not want to have to put too many worker gangs in the front. It turns out they will not touch rifles. I have left the cannon types away from the fronts as they at the ones that are at risk to any that can choose targets.
They are great to come along in the new borders and whack units, where they are not going to be counter attacked.
The ships I have no clue. Just been shuffling them around to bust fog and some home to get in any licks they can. Zeps will start to slow the boats down.
{50} elite wins for 6 leaders [164-23]
We have 132 towns and 49k. I had a 4 turn on one tech where we ran +250 and few times I could turn it down at the end, but all. China has over 200k.

I'm going to break for the night. Merry Christmas, everyone!
Lancia's make a nice xmas gift. Some cities may need the shield boosting happy killing structure to build them. Not sure what the cost is for Lancia, Rome makes over 100 spt. If we will not shave a turn I would skip the Great Refinery as long as I could.
We probably could have some of the excess cavs tuck into place for MP duty about now. Wow yet another civ here, lost track of how many shared the land.

LOL ... I have more Lancias than I know what to do with after the mass upgrades. The only ones we have left are a) the stack of eCavs and b) a few stray ones that were in barracks-less cities when I hit "upgrade all" (when I quit last night, we had 253 Lancias).
I've even shifted production away from Lancias in favor of more Zeppelins. I LOVE their scouting ability, and I've been favoring them over the fighter plane (longer operational range).
That will change pretty soon, of course, but for now, Zeppelins slightly more helpful.

Civ keeps crashing on my halfway through the IBT for Turn 5 
Could someone take a look and see if it'll work for them?
If not, I think I'll count the "midset" save from my last post as the handoff. I'm kind of frustrated with this.

So if I understand correctly, the game will CTD if we take the last AI city and it has a settler present somewhere. Apparently that happened over the IBT to the Dutch. If we did not do it, another AI did. I checked and found after making peace with them that I could not establish an embassy. After I gifted them a town, it became their capital and I had the option to establish an embassy. Then when I tried the IBT, it ran normally.
So if we did not take the last Dutch city ourselves last turn, the only way we can continue the game short of fixing the bug is to make peace with William and give him a town so he isn't eliminated on the IBT by another AI.

I can straight away see what it is.
Dutch have no city left.
x-post as explained before. So, if we took their last city, I suggest to leave their last city alone until we found their settler pair. If we didn't take their last city, I suggest to gift them a crap city and wait til we found that settler pair.
This is the one and only remaining bug left in CCM and it is frustrating but can't be helped.

I checked your previous save posted here and we took their last city Arnheim in the south.
Reload from there and leave that city alone. For that matter, always have a save ready when eliminating the last city of a civ to prevent this from happening.
And to add to this, there is a Dutch cog near The Hague. It might contain the settler pair. Maybe you can take that out , then we might be able to take them out.

Oi. I didn't actually realize that it was the last Dutch city! Knowing that, it makes sense that I was bitten by the no-cities-CTD bug.
Oh the angony. The old Polish town Gorzow (spell?) could be a canidate. It is easy to block till we find the culprit.

Agony is right. I actually just replayed the entire turn. I think I've spent over 10 hours on it now, considering how much tinkering I did before the crash and all the progress I had to redo.
Fewer leaders this time around
Hey, on another note, the Nieuport XVII doesn't have any sound. Civinator, is there a sound file I can add to the CCM folder to fix that?

Save is attached. We pretty much own our continent -- Lancias + railing crews make for FAST conquest!
AIs still have two cities -- see the handoff notes for details.
I focused on building infrastructure; we hardly needed more troops, and more happy buildings might enable us to drop the lux slider relatively soon.

Handoff Notes -
Almalik and Sparta are about to riot (I noticed that in CAII after I closed the game).
I haven't managed to sink the Dutch Cogs on the eastern shore. Another turn or two should do the trick. Once that's done, Arnhem should be fair game.
Speaking of Arnhem, there's a Dutch LB in our territory W of Arnhem. I left him alone this turn, thinking that next turn a Lawyer or Partisan could nab him.
I left Guarda (size 1 Portuguese city) alone; I'm hoping it will grow to size 2 soon, allowing us to capture rather than raze it. If the next player gets impatient, though, well, all it's going to give us is 2 gold and 4 beakers per turn (or 5 gold per turn).
We have four Great Artists near Rome. They should come in handy when the overseas action heats up.
AIs still have two cities -- see the handoff notes for details.
I focused on building infrastructure; we hardly needed more troops, and more happy buildings might enable us to drop the lux slider relatively soon.

Handoff Notes -
Almalik and Sparta are about to riot (I noticed that in CAII after I closed the game).
I haven't managed to sink the Dutch Cogs on the eastern shore. Another turn or two should do the trick. Once that's done, Arnhem should be fair game.
Speaking of Arnhem, there's a Dutch LB in our territory W of Arnhem. I left him alone this turn, thinking that next turn a Lawyer or Partisan could nab him.
I left Guarda (size 1 Portuguese city) alone; I'm hoping it will grow to size 2 soon, allowing us to capture rather than raze it. If the next player gets impatient, though, well, all it's going to give us is 2 gold and 4 beakers per turn (or 5 gold per turn).
We have four Great Artists near Rome. They should come in handy when the overseas action heats up.

Got it,
Seems like I get the turns to prepare for the landing operation. We will need massive good defenders to fight off the enemy.
As fascism is being researched, are we going for that government? I am still not very convinced.

Elephantium, thank you very much for reporting this bug.
Indeed the Nieuport XVII is missing its soundfiles. I will post a fix for the missing soundfiles soon.And another thank you very much to all players for all your interesting and informative reports about this succession game.
My two cents about changing governments: In your situation when deciding to make your first amphibious operations to another continent, in my eyes Fascism is the wrong government. Your conquered cities will not grow in tiles to work on and they will not gather culture making them more vulnerable for flipping. To raze every city and to replace it with new settlers needs additional room of shipment and is also very slow and expensive.
May be Communism is better for your current purposes, but to stay in Monarchy could be the right decision, too as long as you can hold a 4-turn-research.
We are going to need massive defenders and massive attackers, which means a vast fleet to ship them. Even a short anarchy will be painful, if it is like normal C3C. Those huge cities will need a bunch of jokers to keep from rioting.
E-man that was a lot action and I don't know how you could put up all those builds. A lot of extra typing, so thanks.
