Role Play Challenge: All Good Things.......

[Loki Strikes]

I would take out WvO now... he is the fastest teching of the remaining AI's and will be a threat late game if you aren't prudent now, HC is small fry, take out your threats when you have an advantage... or better yet take out both at once.

All Good Things....: Dead Japanese Amongst The Crippled Dutch!

A short segment as I focused on taking out one of our bigger threats. Willem is certainly a decent techer here and he does not yet have infantry.

So we reposition our troops and make a call on Will

The Dutch have establish some smallinsh cities on the border and slightly SW, so we send two forces.

We start by taking care of the smaller cities

Note in this segment we kept alot of cities, growing the empire for some major upcoming battles.

The majority of our army we directed right at the Dutch capital of Amseterdam.

We also had a Great Artist saved which we used to quickly pop the borders here.

Healed, and headed south for the next major Dutch city.

And once again the AP vote came up

And once again we got the world at war with Zara!

The collapse of another Dutch city

And since we were in the neighborhood

I mean the last 2 Japanese cities are right there!

The first

We burned

We then attack and capture the last real strong Dutch city, The Haugue

We finally attack the LAST Japanese city

And raze it to the ground. Tokugawa is dead, and the defier of world peace from the Pericles game is no more. Not one leader here seams sad to see him go!

Now Justinian was at war with Toku, so after he's destroyed

Yeah, keep him down because unhappiness is an issue, so

Easy enough to slap back down when we need to.

So Toku is dead, and Willem is severely crippled and at war with Justinian.

Meanwhile we teched Combustion/Electricity/ and started on Industrialism.

I saved here, considering what to do next. Obviously we want tanks to roll over some enemies. Kublai seams very excited to ride on these metal Monsters into battle!

Techs

The Glance screen

Victory conditions

Demographics

Doing real well here!

And the lands to the west

OK, so where do we go?

1) Tanks. Yeah we know

2) I say Hyuna needs to be removed, simply because he is in teh way.

3) With a very large force of tanks I think a lightning fast scorched earth war against Hannibal. We keep the Dutch and Incan Lands and quickly destroy everything between us and the west coast.

 

[Matthew5117]

13 rivals left eh? Is time victory on? You might have some trouble eliminating everyone... (just as a reminder, make sure you got a navy up and going in time).

Just as a side note, your motherland looks like Eurasia. The greeks and Carthages being the Africans, north of that is Europe and beside the vast Asia.

 

[DMOC]

I am laughing at seeing that size 1 multi-holy city named Delhi there .... (no offense to the real city of course).

 

[smackthewise]

I feel sorry for the millions and millions of innocent civilians Mad has massacred in razing all those cities. Then to add insult to injury, settling his own people over their ashes!!!

I've never seen so much razing before :O

Great game Mad, your PRC's were/are the best!!

 

[Trystero]

I am laughing at seeing that size 1 multi-holy city named Delhi there .... (no offense to the real city of course).

If you were going to keep one of Hannibal's cities, you might want to keep that one, if only for the shrine income. Hinduism is the second biggest religion after Buddhism. I forgot to check the save to see if the shrine is built, but I imagine it is.

Also, is it too early to send and small invasion force over to the other continent to capture one of the barb cities as a staging area for your invasion?

 

[Der Graf]

13 rivals left eh? Is time victory on?

It's not, thus time will not save the rivals of Mongolia from annihilation, no hope for them here
The world for The Khan and nothing else !

 

[DMOC]

Even if time vic was on he would win before that.

 

[Matthew5117]

^Well will see!

 

[Kevie]

^ how about not razing the cities as you capture all the land in your area, and then make them all build units and siege, while another city or 2 build navy. OR you could capture a barb city, airport transport all ur troops over, and invade?

 

[IPEX-731BA5DD06]

you're double production of No 2, you should just build factories, Army (various and assorted), settlers and WORKERS. Automate the workers to build a trade network, i.e. Railroad lines, send both the New troops and settlers to a central staging position, and PLAY LIKE A DALEK EXTERMINATE

 

[Killroyan]

Hah, he has enough turns to eliminate them all, I SAY ELIMINATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mad will prevail. All your cities belong to him. Resistance is futile, etc....

ROFL IPEX, you beat me to it. I was also going the dalek way but I thought they said Eliminate but it is exterminate indeed

 

[madscientist]

I will just warn everyone, it may be a day or 2 before the next update. Even with a buffed computer this game is very long and slow and there have been some normal familiy matters to attend to (remember I have a wife and teenagers!).

Also as with all RPCs, things are never so easy! I won't spoil the fun though

 

[madscientist]

All Good Things....: The War of Mongolian Steel Keshiks!

So many things to discuss, and palying the segment over a few days.... well, let's hope I cna remember everything! Bu the most important thing to remember.....

STEEL KESHIKS!

SO now that Willem is getting pummeled by Justinian I figured it was a good time to restart the Dutch war and claim some additional lands.

Unfortunately, Willem caved in almost instantly to Justinian.

And the next turn Washington capitulated to Justinian also. Justinian is starting to claim vassals like Isabella at a Religion flea market!

All the time Kublai researched the following: Industrialism/Fascism/Artillery/most of Flight. Techrate was pretty good and you shall all see why!

Meanwhile, the Khan is quite upset we did not get to destroy the Dutch. No, we are not ready to backstab out last ally (it's coming, perhaps next segment).

So............

Hyuna!!!!!!!!!

You have evaded the Keshik Blades long enough Incan, it is time to die!

Of course no RPC is ever that strightforeward!

While we fire up the horde, the Ap vote comes up

And once again we are elected Grand Pope!

THEN, we got a very fortuitous random event!

A free golden age!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, that explained hitting Fascism so fast! The Khan certainly see's where things are going!

Now Hyuna is equal to us in military, so we need a little caution.

However, we start razing some incan cities

But we saved several Incan cities to establish a stronger foothold in the west.

Unfortunately, Hyuna sneaked enough of an army into our lands and captured a former Japanese city.

We quickly recaptured it though!

At this point, two things happened.

1) The Cartheginian/Viking war finally ended, WITHOUT Ragnar capitulating to Hannibal.

2) we teched off

At first Kublai is non to impressed, however, once the idea of Mongolian soldier riding treaded war machines into war, he wa delighted! We start Spamming out tanks which goes VERY fast considering our MASSIVE production edge.

We then claim a hotly contested region since the Celtic wars

AND KEEP IT FOR GOOD!

We then teched off Fascism and swapped civics

Yep, we are in Police state for the long haul now! We quickly start on Mount Rushmore and build jails in all cities!

We start tightening the noose around the Incans neck.

When all of a sudden

Hyuna vassals to Hannibal and we have a much larger war on our hands against a leader with similar techs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To Be Continued..................

 

[Stewie0416]

ohhhh, exciting!

 

[madscientist]

All Good Things....: The War of Mongolian Steel Keshiks!


Bublai is undaunted, "Keep the Attack on the Incans going!"

And we finally hit the Incan Capital.

Which had ALOT of useful stuff.

The Buddhist shrine and the AP!

Once our free Golden Age ended, we popped another GP

Which we used for another golden Age

We continue to exclusively pummel HC

And we finally got a good healthy stack of Cold Hard Mongloian Steel going

To see our success so far

Very strong power numbers over Hannibal, great considering how dangerous he was earlier!

The AP vote options were much less entertaining

So we simply got the "Do not trade with willem" option passed.

We roll our tanks over the last few remaining Incan cities, razing them

And soon

Hyuna is no more! The Khan uses his personal tank to crush the Incan leader beneath him wheels of steel, backing up and running him over again and again and again, until his remains are no longer recognizable. So has our Shaka I RPC avenged by destroying Hyuna with tanks, the same way we lost that RPC!

But no time to congratulate ourselves, we still have a war against Hannibal and his vassals Zara and Pericles.

An interesting, and concerning event happened.

Isabella and Mansa broke away from Ragnar, and then all three vassaled to Justinian! That Byzantine emperor is getting quite a strong empire there and needs to be brought down VERY soon.

But for now we need to deal with Hannibal.

Our strategy here is simple.

1) We built ALOT of military and keep them in cities near Justinian and his vassals.

and

2) Send the Mongolian Steel Keshik Horde towards Hannibal with orders

TO BURN AND KILL ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To Be Continued....................................................

 

[Stewie0416]

dang, another cliff hanger! I warned you about Justinian!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[madscientist]

All Good Things....: The War of Mongolian Steel Keshiks!


We made a stright line towards the western ocean, first coming across the former malinese capital

And poof! Burned it to the ground

Notice we have an honorary guard of Keshiks here!

Anyway, we proceed onto the next former Malinese city of Gao

And likewise burned it to the ground

We then proceeded towards Hannibals #2 city

And burned THAT one to the ground!

At this point we healed half our force in teh nuetral area and send the healthy parts of the army southward!

Razing everything in our path

The southern army then ran into the Greeks who fought better than the Cartheginians and destroyed the southern army. To be expected and a worthy sacrifice to further cripple Cathage!

HOWEVER, There is one thing left to do.

Probably one of the best capitals in the game. We razed it to the ground, destroying many many wonders!

At this point we invited Hannibal in for a chat to see what he has to say now.

I saved at this point, satisfied that Hannibal has been cowed for some time to come.

A look at the western area

And Justinian's Lands to the north

Victory conditions

We eventually need a decent navy, but first things first.

POWER

Techs, for those close to us

And demographics

So I think it is obvious what to do. Time to declare war on Justinian while he is still researching Assembly line and take that threat out. In the west we can start chipping away at his vassals.

Our techpath I think we hit Advance Flight or rocketry next, then Fission.

By the way, Shaka is still masterless and sulking by himself to the south. I plan to kill him last!

 

[bigeeze]

Time for a Commando quote.

"Hey Shaka, Remember when I said I'd kill you last..... I LIED!"

 

[apenpaap]

I like this RPC, it's exciting!
