ROTQM10: Raging Over the Quarreling Mountains

[LKendter]

I know during my set I was trying to get culture into all the northern cities. That should get us a lot of tiles.
We have some spots such as south of Polynesean (SP?) that can grab a rice and claim that area.

 

[LKendter]

The bad news is Huayna already has Nationalism, so we aren't guaranteed Taj.
Rostov is our best choice for Taj - it needs just 16 turns to complete it.

I don't think the race to liberalism is worth it this game. I like paper - printing press - rep parts - rifles. We improve the economy along the way, and get more shields from windmills.

Offensive units don't see to be the slow down, it is simply to much AI to deal with.

Ok. updated the report.

@ pig with no wings

To be honest, I'm more worried with the loss of 2 turns of production than with losing two turns of income / research . Especially considering that we want to build the Taj ( losing the bureau prod bonus would delay that as well if we do Taj in the cap ).

 

[pigswill]

Update: played 6 turns so far.

Building Taj in Rostov.

Haven't revolted yet.

Captured Haithabu (1804), Seoul (1806), Old Sarai (1806), last viking city (Lokhose?) 1810, vikings are no more but little impact on WW.

I'm wondering if we should (7pop) whip Taj asap (if its not gone beforehand).

I'm also wondering if we should build theatres everywhere and run culture slider for happitude.

Finally I'm wondering if we should ignore the Mongols who are not a significant threat and weaken the Incas a little bit instead.

good turns all...sorry i disappeared into the star wars beta test this weekend. great gains for both of you. It may be a little late now, but perhaps we can let the AI suicide at jelling for a bit while we focus on the south again, just to get rid of them...

or maybe as pigs says, forget the south and weaken the inca in the short-term. We could break their back and then focus on mopping up as we head for victory.

personally, it seems conquest would be a tad bit easier on this land-heavy map, but i'm okay with whatever the group decides.

i like whipping the taj and revolting at that point. A GA cant help but be a huge boon for us at this point.

 

[Ozbenno]

Getting rid of the Mongols might alleviate the WW a little, so we should consider wiping them fully. Let the Inca come and suicide on us for the time being.

 

[LKendter]

I vote whip Taj. The GA is to helpful for us. Also gives us the change for free Nationalism revolt.

I think the Mongols are weak enough that we can send a secondary stack there way while trying to hurt the Inca. We *need* to get rid of that WW source.
Plus, every city brings us closer to domination (I suspect that is the easier one). Get those theaters out for fast border expansions.

 

[r_rolo1]

Yup, whip the thing ... the bonus outweights the lost pop. And revolt to natio as soon as it is done .

 

[pigswill]

1810. The last Viking city was of course Lodose.

1812. Now WW reduces. Move units.

1814. Paper>PP. Cash 100%.
Keep moving units.

1816. Keep moving units.
Alex suicides his stack against our stack.
Whip Taj in Rostov.
Democracy in action:

We abstain.

1818.
Capture/raze junk GK city.
GG becomes a medical musketeer in Seoul.
Start a Golden Age.
Revolt to Nationalism.
The vote is counted:

Barbs continue to be a pest, including some pesky maces.

All quiet on the western front:

Northern Liberators:

Southern Liberators:

Lots of theatres have been built. A few barracks are being built.

We can research PP in 4/5 turns if we choose to do so.

A save:

 

[Ozbenno]

Wouldn't Military Tradition to get Curassiers be better than PP at the moment??

Raze the Greek city and then we can put some concerted pain on Huayna.

As for the AP, we don't really have to worry as there are big split voting blocks, can't see the AI winning, capturing or razing the AP would be good though.

Take those Mongol cities - should be good for a LOT of tiles toward domination.

 

[pholkhero]

nice turns Pigs ~ good to see us moving forward in mongolia though i think we should consider forming another army

i agree on MilTrad ~ esp as we need it for our UU

mysty's been MIA for a bit so if he hasn't grabbed it by tomorrow, I will

 

[mystyfly]

Got it. I have been busy but kept on checking the thread. I'll play during the weekend.

Definitely MT next. Looks like we're doing great guys

 

[pholkhero]

Turns, turns, turns?



Turns, turns, turns?

 

[LKendter]

Running out of weekend.

 

[pholkhero]

alright, i got this. will play and post tomorrow.

 

[pholkhero]

On my way out, so a report in pics:

Spoiler :

military situation, in Incan lands or ready to move north to Byzantine

here's where the AI is coming at us:

we ended mongolia, and have 3 civs left. i burned most of the cities down (all of GKs), and have a couple settlers ready to go.

also got a GE and a GG during my set, and are building money for now before PP on the way to Cossacks.

A lot of dead people ... nice. And seeing a lot of a dent to the Incans as well...

 

[pholkhero]

content staff? what's that, rolo?? title for over 10k posts??

 

[pigswill]

Is that similar to a wand of complacency?

Nice turns btw.

I wonder where Greece is?
