(RFC) The British Empire
- Thread starter Icaria909
- Start date
I'm going to wait a few days before I post again to wait and see if the pictures start working because for some reason my pictures won't show up. If anyone has any idea why this is happening tell me so I can fix it and get on to the story. The next few days worth of stories are going to be really interesting

Since it is the Victory, how about a Ship-of-the-Line?
Or, refuse to cater to the mob, go contrarian; name it the Royal Charles and have the Dutch steal it.

i must remember to you something, when you join nelson in the ship, have only him and the ship in the tile, so that the ship will get the full bonus exp. we don't want somenoe sinking the ship easily 
and when the game runs out of GG names, just rename every GG you get with the name of a british general (if you're going to put him in a land unit), or a admiral (if youre going put him in a ship), if you settle him just leave him whiout name

Too many viewers, perhaps.

No, his photobucket bandwidth is full.
Guys the pictures are now loading so its time to continue with our story This won't be too long.
My maintenance is killing my treasury so I had started on building the summer palace in India. In 1700 Goa finishes the it and suddenly I gain 60gpt more than I had before I had put the palace there!
Pirates and Privateers are beginning to infest the world, and the royal navy is increasingly having to take care of them to protect my great trading empire.
But then, the unthinkable happened.... War was declared on the British Empire and her allies in 1703!
The battle lines have been drawn:
Allies:
British Empire
Spanish Empire
Dutch Empire
Portuguese Empire
Unholy Alliance:
French Empire
German Reich
Ottoman Empire
To give you an idea of the immensity of the war being waged, here is map of Europe.
As you can see, For the most part there is one continuous bloc: France, Germany and Turkey ranging from France in Europe to Pakistan in Asia. However, my allies and I have two advantages here. France is almost completely blocked from Germany by the Dutch in the North and by the Spanish in Milan in the South, and my allies and I have a complete dominance on sea power.
Here's an map of the global battle lines:
As you guys can see, France is the only one to have tried to establish an overseas empire. The immediate plans of the army are to (1) destroy all French ships abroad (2) blockade all French ports around France and (3) to steal as many colonies as possible. Secondary objectives are blockade German and Turkish ports. My biggest strategic problem is protecting India from Ottoman attack, so troops are going to have to whipped there immediately.
I have played no more than what I have now posted. If you guys think I should conduct the war differently, let's hear it! Because....

- invade Chicago/Detroit. if it is detroit it is a nice city, but i would burn it to build chicago asap 
keep new orleans. do like real life! take the french colonies in the USA!
- try to keep a strong defense in india, maybe in hills where you can block the turk advance?
- send troops to netherlands and spain, then attack France from here (after you dealt with north america of course), that way your allies will have some time to breath if they're having a hard time, and then continue to push them out of europe! with north america and France secured you should get a defensive line around the region of Alsace-Lorraine, until you can re-organize the troops and race till berlin!
- the brown is mongolia? find a way to push them into fight with OE?
- can't you put the russians in the fight? i'm sure they are interested in some of these German territories... (bastards always dow me until i kill them when i play like germany, faustindorf(kiev) obsession i think)
--
and you still need to advance East of India, you have many cities waiting to be captured or built in the east of your indian cities.
okay, try to advance north in south africa,you have room to one more city inland. settle sydney and that other city in southeast australia that has some resources.
no one built KIEV?

I believe that you should subdue continental France, get Russia and the Vikings into the war with the Germans to keep them pacified on an Eastern Front, and then immediately send all of your forces to North America and India. In N. America, you should capture all of French America, and in India reinfroce Lahore and the surrounding terrain to put off an Ottoman attack.
Try to land a small, very mobile cavalry army inside the Ottoman Empire, and wreak utter havoc on their infrastructure. Try to ruin their economy and any possibility of building an army that requires specific resources (such as knights).
Order your allies (especially if you have Russia!) to launch a pincer attack on the German border cities. If your cavalry army survives and does major enough damage to the Ottoman Empire, you should be able to keep them out of the war long enough for you to eliminate Germany. It's important to get Russia as an ally, and Mongolia if they don't hate you.

yes, but Russia would need to be reinforced, it's very hard to Russia win a war against germany whiout big help from allies.
and if germany survives, it would be important to try to get on the good side of them, or make it so that they won't be able to recover.
try to block your enemies naval cities, while your cavalry destroy their infra.

Russia doesn't need to survive, it just needs to grab their attention.
And Russia doesn't usually have problems holding their own against the Germans; it's usually the German's who get their asses handed to them by the Russians, in my experience.

The opening moves of the American Campaign are planned. Here is where the first attack is being planned.
French troops had vacated the city and had gone to Louisburg in the north, so I'm whipping out a musketeer in Quebec to take on the city soon.
As people have pointed out, I need to defend Lahore. So I reorganized the troops to defend Lahore. fortunately, Surat is defended in the west by marshes so if the Ottomans try to march into India they'll have to go through Lahore.
I have a decent army in India, but I sent them to the east to attack Raipur. Bombarding of the city commences. India must taken soon.
Gathering together my navy in Europe, I sent four galleons to blockade western France. The blockade of France has begun!
Cayenne in South America is also blockaded (I don't want the French to get any benefit from those spices near the city).
In the same turn, French ships have been attacked and destroyed by more forces near Amsterdam, Cape Town and Australia. Here is a pic of a caravel I destroyed in Australia. The rest of the French navy is bottled up in the French city of Brest. Fortunately, I'm about to finish military science and then I can build frigates to keep the blockade even tighter
