SAM-02 Silliness and Mao

[Mighty Dwaarf]

Sounds like UN win is favourable, I'll take a look tonight to see how much needs to be done if anything to make this a reality. I too enjoy using privateers when the time arises I think we would need an archipelago map to get best out of this. I remember one lower level GOTM when I got too Chem long before others and decimated rivals Galley and Trireme navys with them using drill promotions.

 

[Whosit]

Yeah, an archipelago makes the most of navies. For Privateer fun, I see beeline Chemistry, beeline Steel (for drydocks). Anyway, take it away, Dwaarf.

Damn and I thought I had a decent monitor.

Don't take my word for it though, I really know nothing about computers. Maybe it's just something you can mess around with in the monitor settings.

Right seems straightforward 4 turns and next vote we should get Zara and Pacals vote, may even steal Peters. I'll continue to amass troops in the mean time and if Zara Dows on HC I may be tempted to join in.

Anyone against Diplo win speak up now tomorrow I'll play.

 

[Norvin_Green]

Diplo away sir!

 

[Mighty Dwaarf]

Well here goes the final march....

With the road leading to diplo victory the intermittent turns were to say the least uninspiring.

Turn 444 - Well move some planes to Inca Zara front just in case, hurry some builds press enter.

This is pretty much the scale of things until 449 when the votes, notice the plural!! come in



We go for diplo victory with UN, and vote to assign an Incan city to Zara. Well why not more votes for us!! ( Apologies missed screeni of AP vote)

The numbers are on our side we only need Zaras vote which is in the bag.



The results come in and we are voted in the winner!!!!!



And to rub sand in the wounds...

All in all well done although I feel Pacals passive stance in this game helped massively. I agree our pretty much total colonization of the new world was pretty impressive. Especially considering our late arrival to the world of ocean exploration.

 

[Norvin_Green]

Nice game team! It was quite impressive indeed (and tedious too!) with all those cities and units. Hopefully I'll see everyone over at SAM-03 with some ideas.

 

[Glare Seethe]

All according to plan! Nice, and thanks for the replay Dwaarf, I like having these in my HoF.

On to SAM-03...

 

[sturick]

Well done guys! An impressive victory!

I was hoping you would continue the modern era warfare as it rarely gets showcased but then again I wasn't the one who would have to trugde through the gigantic empire and play ridiculously long turns!

Once again, good work!

 

[Glare Seethe]

Yeah, heh, the UN was a bit of a copout but it's just so tempting to take the easy way out with these modern wars. I was thinking for SAM-03 if we want to compensate and showcase a late-game war we could try an Archipelago map with a lot of small islands where navies and air units would do the majority of the fighting. Sort of trying to simulate the Pacific front in WW2... could be fun, and the limited amount of land would curtail the amount of cities / units and help ease the pain of modern wars.
