Role Playing Challenge: Chivalrous Washington II

[madscientist]

That annoying little … ….

Now Now

Congratulations! And Willy as a morning gift as well. And then you thank her by digging deep into her purse – hum, I can see why you wanted a rich wife.

I'm trying to historically accurate. GW paid alot of his soldiers during the revolutionary war through hiw own estate, which came from Martha.

- And once married, all chivalry go out the window and you start bossing her around. (But at least you’re bossing her in the right direction. )

Ain't Marraige grand!!!

Very nice, only one (the worst) rival left.

Damn you Cathy, can't you see I'm busy. CLean up that French mess, and you can have the cities

Ouch . Hopefully you’ll manage to bribe Boudicca to peace, build the UN and snatch the victory.

Yeah, we I may have bitten off more than I can chew. I say next 20 turns decides this RPC. I thing I will bring mass media to one turn, then switch techs. This way I still have a chance of stopping the war via an AP vote.

(Sadly it seems that the little general is going to live through yet another game and I’ll not get my revenge. Now I really do have to start my own game, playing as Boudicca the Amazon, and make Nappy my main target of destruction! )

Depends on your view of vengence. I could kill him off in a glorious and brief battle.

Or we can leave him lingering like dirty dog forced to follow the mighty and beg his misstress for a few crumbs of food.

Vengence is a meal best served up COLD.

Are you sure that is Boudica and not Monty in Drag?

She's attacking in a fairly logical and efficient manner, so I think she's Shaka in drag.

 

[oyzar]

she is agressive and carismatic... i think she is herself.
also you couldn't win palace win?

Chivalrous Washington Part VI

Here is the latest of our segments and I think I will retire the game at this point, read on to see why.

First of all we left the last save with Boudica and her cronies Hatty and Nappy declaring war on me and the misses. After retreating my Anterium city force to philadelphia, Bouduca launched and incredible assault on the city. I took the entire brunt of the assault and with airships and lots or cavalry decimated Boudica's force.

See the change in power graph numbers.

Cathy lost 1 city to Napolean, one to Boudica, and took one from Boudica.

After a while we got peace, at the cost of scientific method

I restarted mass media and began the UN, 67 turns!!!

Teched steel.steam working/railroad (machine guns!)/combustion

I made one decent trade with Hatty

Then, Kaboom part II

I then bribed Isabella i to the fray (Unchivalrous, don't care, nothing in teh rules prohibiting!)

Sometime during the war (Boudica tried to take NY and was beaten back similar to the Philadelphia assault)

I consider this a DAMN GOOD MORAL VICTORY to get this far. I seriously had my doubts I would ever get this point and based on my condition and the ladies characteristics I think alot of you people doubted also. We actually got to the point of a UN vote with me a permanent voting member (unless Boudica takes the city, but it's as far as I can get it from her, in Athens)

The first UN vote, we get elected but look at the numbers

Now look at victory conditions

Being elected as victor is impossible by a decent margin even if LIz and Isabella vote for me, possible but no sure thing. Hatty may vote for me if she can break loose but she can't unless Cathy rips apart Boudica, which she has not given any indication she will or can.

Even if I take Napoleans cities this is not possible I think.

I can get assembly line, industrialization, flight the next three techs and really unload but if I cannot attack a lady, it's a moot point.

SO at this point I can

1) Stay at war, tech the big three and exterminate Napolean. I would then need to gift Isabella ALOT of tanks or tank techs and let her rip into Hatty which is questionable she will do. Ditto with Cathy.

2) I can turbo grow my cities to absolute happy/health caps, spam farms and try to up my population percentage, and settel some more cities. All teh while continuing a slogging battle against Boudica, yeah!!!

3) Stop now, consider it a moral victory that I buiilt the UN, found martha (who happens to be Russian), and had two other ladies pleased/frinedly and destroyed 2 rivals while keeping the last as a half dead snake.

4) Become unchivalrous and attack and destroy Boudica. This I think is plain wrong, maybe I stretched the chivalrous rules but I did not break them.

Unless someone can convince me otherwise, I am opting for choice number 3. A very long unproductive and stagnant war with teh Celts is not a real appealing or fun game to play.

Thanks for everyones help and interest in this game.

The next one I will play sometime after the Thanksgiving holiday, either Bismark the Builder, or Saladin with a religious economy.

 

[Mattimeo]

I'd reccomend 3, too. Just not fun after everything comes to a standstill.

I'd like to you do one called "Pacal the Aspiring", even if only because Pacal II is my favorite leader. It could be along the lines of...

(My first Roleplaying Challenge that I've created. Go easy on me.)

Pacal is aspiring to be as great as the former rulers of the Maya Empire, but noone believes in him! He must prove his worth to the people and emerge victorious! The Incans and Aztecs are encroaching on his land, and the Native Americans have ventured a little too far. On top of that, the Portuguese have landed on the shores, and the Spanish soon followed! Can Pacal exterminate the invaders and make amends with the other local civilizations?

(Badly written. Blarg.)

Pangaea
Epic/Normal Speed
Prince Difficulty
Low Water Level
Permanent Alliances On
Time Victory Off

5 Prepicked AI:

Sitting Bull
Montezuma
Huayna Capac
Isabella
Joao (Insert which Joao he is...)


-Pacal must destroy the Portuguese OR the Spanish before the Modern age.
-Pacal must do one of the following...
--Force Huayna Capac or Montezuma to Capitulate
--Destroy Montezuma or Huayna Capac
--Form an alliance with Montezuma or Huayna Capac
-Pacal must keep his people happy! He shouldn't let them be unhappy for more than 20 (Normal) turns! (This is changeable. Tell me if it's too harsh.)

Goal:

(Your rank is boosted one level [If you got an A, then A+] if you capture at least two prisoners of war [Workers, settlers, missionaries, etc] with Holkans.)

A Rank - Domination or Total Conquest* Victory
B Rank - Conquest or Cultural Victory
C Rank - Apostolic Palace Diplomatic Victory
F Rank - United Nations Diplomatic Victory or Space Race Victory

Conquest must be total conquest; no vassals. Alliances are allowed.

Mattimeo, great idea for a RP. You need to start this as it's won thread since most will not be looking at this one and miss your post.

 

[oyzar]

you have no ways to gift enough units to cathy for her to beat back boudica enough for hatty to break free?

 

[Mattimeo]

Mattimeo, great idea for a RP. You need to start this as it's won thread since most will not be looking at this one and miss your post.

Seriously? Thanks. Well, I'll do that when I get on later today! The only problem I might have is the amount of turns you can't let them be unhappy.

 

[Carabodes]

Number 3) it is! (Even though you didn't get the little ... ... for me, we'll just have to let him stew till next time we meet him. )

If you had gone for 4), you would have greatly compromised your morale, and we don't want that.

And apart from the survival all the way up to UN, a blissful marriage and unpeckable morale, you also at one point had the crazy celtic queen pleased with you. I think you've done swell. And - the game was great fun.

Victory is yours!


Matimeo's idea sounds great. I like the aspect of the true American nations fighting off the European invasion. Colombus, go home!
(But I'm not sure I will back you up against the Inka, you know I have this thing for Huyana. )

 

[Mattimeo]

lol

Anyway, like I said, I need an exact number for that "No happiness" turn limit. Also, you could always just beat down Monty.

 

[NintendoTogepi]

Great RPC until the ending, which was very

You should have attacked Boudica.

Better then just going "Meh I'll pretend I won"

 

[madscientist]

NT, but that would violate the point of the RPC!!

I've been married for 20 years, I know when to accept a moral victory in light of an unavoidable loss

So what was the vote count for diplo victory in this game? Did you ever consider reducing boudica and her allies' population through espionage, unhappiness and disease can really mess up a city. Use spies to destroy farms, food resources, and sea food improvements. Simultaneously, raise your own population by putting farms everywhere.

That is certainly a possibility, however I needed to completely subdue Napolean (probable) and get Hatty broken away from Boudica plus get her to vote for me (inprobable, and uncertain).

Also not really a chivalrous thing to do for old GW, sneaking a peak at her goods when she's not looking is one thing, Poisoning her lands and causing civil unrest is pretty dastardly, I might as well tech industrialization and slam her with tanks.
