RB29c - Cultural Extermination

[Swiss Pauli]

Tabriz has alot of units and getting rid of them took ages, even with not loosing any battles. It is eventually left with one artillery and our ex-navy.

That was quite sly of him...I guess he was planning a counter from Tabriz, and I had moved some units away, expecting him to concentrate on Beshbalik and Karakorum.

sunrise is up and should be back from his trip today, which is handy.

Correct Swiss, I am back. I have to report in to work at 6:00pm and play some turns in one of my other SGs as well, but theres still a good possibility I'll get turns up tonight. Otherwise tomorrow for sure.

 

[sunrise089]

It is now the year 2000.

Turn 4: Old Sarai flips to us. I raze the city, and will re-found in a better position to flip Beshbalik.

Turn 5: Tarenturn founded.

I rushed cultural buildings in all of our border territories, as usual. I also attacked Khan's cities whenever he built a second defender. I have lots of missionaries in Tarenturn, as well as more on the way so we can place them into the next city that flips as required. The city itself has six of the seven religions IIRC. Militarily there are no threats.

The Roster:
sooooo - being skipped?
Ozbenno
Qwack - ???
Sunrise089 - just played
Kodii - up!
Swiss Pauli - on deck

[Kodii]

Got it, but I probably won't get to it until Sundayish.

T2 - Moscow completes the Pentagon; Karakorum flips

We are now in the year of the Vancouver Winter Olympics, with little change. We now have two GAs waiting for use, but in order for Mutineer's trick to work efficiently, city population needs to be higher than it is currently.

I don't think we'll finish off GK by the end of the game.

[Swiss Pauli]

Got it for tonight.

 

[Swiss Pauli]

Well, looks like we're not gonna shift Khan. We got a revolt in Arpinum and, in desperation, I dropped an Aritst bomb on New Sarai. As a result, Beshbalik is slowly yielding to our culture asn may revolt before the game is over, but I doubt it will flip. Trying for another artist at Smolensk, and, in other news, we completed Broadway and some cathedrals at Karakorum.

We could get Tabriz from GK for peace, but I think that would go against the spirit of the variant, if not the letter.

If off for some holidays, so I'll not be checking back much after Wednesday.

Hi, er, some pictures would be good for those of us without civ access

BTW, I don't think getting a city for peace would be against the spirit. In fact, I think we should do it. Also with JC if we are still at war with him (which I can't see because no pictures for 4 turnsets).

 

[Swiss Pauli]

Well, JC wouldn't give any interesting cities for peace (I didn't ask for Arpinum).

There's not much for screenshots...tile x moving from 81% to 79% Mongolian culture isn't a great image, but here's a couple for ya cap'ain:

 

[sunrise089]

Sorry about the no pic thing Sooooo. Since it's difficult for me to upload them on my connection and they didn't show anything of hardly any interest I hadn't taken the time.

 

[Ozbenno]

Got it for tomorrow.

 

[Ozbenno]

Well JC won't give a tech or a city for peace

GK will give us Turfan but that won't really help too much. May be worth thinking about though.

We build Rock n Roll.

I merge the GM here as it gives 2cpt.



I notice the GA hiding in New Sarai eventually and do this (using our new favourite trick)



Hmmm, borders don't move but it lowers GK's ownership 8% of the tiles outside Samarqand.

Another revolt in Turfan.

JC now offers a city. I'll leave it for now.



Finally a flip.



I keep it as we can't get another city in to pressure Samarqand.

GK now offers Tabriz.



This may actually be good as it is still more than 50% Mongol.

20 turns to go, sigh

Pretty much we need to decide whether to take the cities on offer. GK's is a good offer but JC's is the least useful of his cities to us.

[Swiss Pauli]

As sooooo thinks it's OK to take cities for peace, we might as well do so.

I'm off on holiday tonight, so catch up with you guys in a week or so!

 

[sunrise089]

Yeah, might as well take the offers.

Have a good holiday Swiss.

PS - Am I up?

 

[sooooo]

Yep, have a good holiday Swiss

PS - Am I up?

Nope, because I've GOT IT!!!!!!

 

[sooooo]

err OK I haven't got it. Well, I do have it, but can't play it.

Sorry about that, take it away Sunrise.

 

[sunrise089]

Ok. That works well anyways, since you can finish off the game next. Plus, I didn't want to have to be the one uploading dozens of end-game screenshots

 

[Ozbenno]

At least the turns are very short now.

 

[sunrise089]

Sorry it took so long to get these up, since the turns literally took 45 seconds to play.

Turn0-10: Rush buildings. It doesn't matter

Pics are pointless, nothing has changed.

Finish if off Sooooo!

I still can't play until maybe monday, so I think it's best that Kodii plays the last few turns. Then we can report we've finished and maybe start discussing the game, not sure how RB29b are doing though.
