SG Lurkers, ready?

[Liquidated]

well mission is hunt down monty and exterminate him..


take your time on his two towns to get sufficient forces there and bomb the holy crap out of anything to see. no rush to take over his towns in main land as we can ship endless crap over to it.

Keep in mind that all monty could build the last 30 turns are sams infantry artillery and gunships.

That means modern armor is going to be a liability without mechs to back them up.. and keep units scattered, expect an artillery and gunship counter attack so mechs are good.


Cheers!

The save

 

[Scowler]

More screens of current status:

Cyrus has now arrived and has landed his own taskforce

A carrier group of my own is on the way:

Current status of Alexandria:

And the empire in general:

 

[Luv_Muffin]

Great job, Scowler!
We now have control over old Aztec proper. Monty has to use newly conquered cities to produce troops, likely without a barracks. His production of units is horrible, +20 turns to build a SAM etc. It is checkmate for him, all we are doing now is moving pieces around until we hear the bell toll for the weasel.

I really liked how you attacked Alexandria.
How did you know to wait until the defenders were doing handstands before you attacked?

(Alexandria doesn't even need a missionary, Hinduism has already been spread there by a missionary earlier).

I think now we have to decide if we are going to allow ourselves to be dragged into the Alex/Saladin dispute. We could backstab Saladin and maybe carve ourselves a land bridge to connect Monty's last cities to our main empire.
Saladin is the leader of techs still, right? That would solve that problem. We already almost have enough land for a dom win, if we take most of Monty's remaining cities. Hmmm. Maybe Liq will have to think about this for a moment.

Can we further irritate Toku (his military has been growing) by making trade embargoes against him? Cyrus would agree, I wonder if Alex/Saladin would take the bait. If we get Toku crazy enough, maybe he would sign his own death warrant for us. Or maybe we could bribe Nappy to attack Toku? Once the fur starts to fly, maybe Nappy would invite us to join him?

I'm getting ahead of myself here.
I was thinking about a carrier for the work remaining in Monty's land, glad that Scowler is high speed/low drag and figures these things out on his own. Now that we have a city, it is less important, but still good to have. Air-superiority should make Monty's death spasms less dramatic. All those new APC's will help too. Nice work!

 

[Liquidated]

Nice scowler, I'll have to try the auto logger myself, just too much BS getting built and all.

As for the toe hold in alexandria... only 2 units there???? rofl!

nice number of troops there in egypt. if cyrus landed troops there too, monty is completely toothless, his stock of gunships from before will be too busy fending off the blue.

As for dog piling on saladin I see no real point. It will be painful and he never did once attack us. Alex doesn;t have the gas to make serious inroads into saladin.

Now nappy and toku sure but toku likes to turtle end game as he always falls behind in tech.

hmm...Could just gift like 10 stealth bombers to alex maybe...


oh honestly, WTH is monty gonna do with iron?
Cheers!
-Liq

 

[Liquidated]

preturn:

no idea on auto turn logger lol

ok pig pen is putting out 396 culture a turn and ago is 322ish... anjar is EFFED. Only question is, do we get a free mech?

moving the airforce to alexandria. oh hmm cyrus has a stealth bomber in gao! not too many stealth bombers may have time to correct that!!!

ok lunch money time!!!!

France gives us 200 gold, no chocolate milk for nappy!

bah toku won;t give us 6 a turn.

promote transport to flank and move+1

ok lets go!!!

[1]1954 AD

persians grab abywhatever....

well move the armor and a mech up just to grab a city before cyrus does lol

[2]1955 AD
saladin asks us to join the war against alex.... hmm WTH why not!

WAR AGAINST ALEX!!!!

texcoco revolts for the indians.. yawn. g going to give it to saladin for giggles. and get open borders after gifting it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woooooo.

man one artillery with 2.3 hp left in elephant.

spy destroys monty's pigs for fun.

[3]1956 AD
FUN Greece comes in and kills our mini stack at elephant!!! boo..

ok this should be entertaining.

omg they sank our carrier! How careless of me!

Loose Liqs Sink Ships people!

[4]1957 AD

alex loses a city from saladin and cyrus take a close base to alex of montys...

spot a greek armada approaching so sic the air force on it and take out all but one transport with the ships pestering heli.

[5]1958 AD

can airlift units to cyrus' towns duh... ok fun.

Cyrus takes out alex's oil I bomb his coal, alex is sad!

memphis falls to cyrus.

[6]1959 AD
alex tries to attack our sea based oil and loses both destorers from its garison. Not sure what we had there as the oil platform is huge!

Anjar is down to 3 tiles...

[7]1960 AD
Alex is screwed.. he has 3 civs with modern armor and mechs in his lands and is missing oil/coal/alum with the tech to make tanks.

elephantine goes down np. monty is down to two towns making sams with over 15 turns of progress,

turn culture to 80% we can afford it a few turns.

Cyrus' navy must have just owned alex's fleet because I'm not seeing anything left alive.

[8]1961 AD

thebes goes down without much of a fight, might have lost a modern amor attacking a gunship, who cares!

THEN THERE WAS ONE. monty pisses his pants.

oh take out el armean from alex as an after thought.. opps. it was just there, honest!

[9]1962 AD
harrass monty and alex with air attacks as I move troops up to monty's last town.

fun fun!

[10]1963 AD
salad makes peace with alex... Cyrus sends me a pm saying "good, more for us"

Battle for monty's last town!!!!
um he doesn;t have much not worth even posting a screen of his starting units... needles to say they are all half health.

and monty is no more....

WOOOOO.

Alex dies next.


lots of tanks and crap south of alex, cyrus is no wimp either, he's got masss units floating about.... Alex is in trouble.

Anjar STILL lives!!! WTH.

This game is a foregone conclusion... so beat alex's skinny behind just for giggles.

Cannot believe I let the carrier die.. poor guy~

[Scowler]

Monty is spanked!

How close are we to a domination win now - practical? We must have picked up a few extra % on land area from that little scrap.

 

[Sir Toma]

Take that you aztec psycopath

Hey guys i'm back. Great work sending Monte back to hell. Now we just have to finish him.

 

[Luv_Muffin]

Nice job Liq!

Monty is toast, now to redistribute Alex's land to the worthy, and that will be that. Alex wasn't doing much with his cities anyway, just keeping them all to himself like a selfish person would. I think they will look quite nice added to our own territory. Maybe a little bit of persuasion (with modern armor and carpet bombing) will allow his people to see the light. Heh heh.

Sir Toma, do you want to take a turn now? You missed the party with Monty, maybe you want play with a few tanks before the SG is added to the win column for the Lurkers?

 

[Liquidated]

haha nice turn my ass. All liq did was slop units all over the place and run over monty.

I lost like 15 units on a combination of carelessness (that poor carrier) and uh honest change in plans (alex owning the mini stack of 4 units). the rest were the odd loose pillaging gunship, attacking a town guarded by a full health gunship with a modern armor (got that heli to 1.2 hp!) and various aircraft getting shot down bombing the living crap out of towns/units/resources/slowmovingworkers.

course every turn I lost one unit, 3 more were built so well....

Gifting the revolting texico town to salad for the OT was WIN tho, and last I saw it had revolted for slad as well lol.

Before the gift, salad was refusing open borders btw so nice timing on the revolt.

where's all the chartage luvmuf? what slack!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Luv_Muffin]

Our empire is big, and about to get bigger, but we have a few problems.

Orleans is losing territory to Nappy! I am very surprised, especially when we are paying so much for culture spending and are leading him in techs! How did that happen? Paris is bigger than Orleans too. Hmmmm.

We haven't been improving the tiles around the Conquered Aztec cities, resources are left unconnected and our cities are small. We are getting crushed in the middle from cultural pressure too, our cities can't do anything to stop it if we don't give them tiles to work.

We have the workers sitting, doing nothing in our cities. Building oil rigs, farms, mines etc, it all helps. After conquering all this territory, would hate to lose it all because we starved our cities by refusing to replace what we pillaged. Cows not connected? Oil? We have the workers, and the food/hammers might be nice for our cities to use.

Victory conditions. Not there yet.

We've been playing a tight game until now. Empire is big, takes longer to micromanage, but if we get lazy we could end up giving stuff away.
Not directed at anyone, I got tunnel vision myself during my combat phase, but on my second coffee now and calm while I look at the save.

Liq set us up to take two more greek cities immediately, there is another one which is vulnerable to a tank rush (Pi-Ramses, 2 inf. That's it!). Alex's capital is loaded with troops, aircraft, ships. We will have to hammer it ruthlessly, but his other cities just can't stand up to the forces us and Cyrus have coming at him.

 

[Sir Toma]

Alex called to say Sir Toma's moma wears combat boots.

-Liq

That greek bastard, if i ever meet his armies or capture his cities i will personally castrate a random member of the audience.

As for turns, Luv Muf and Scowler can go before me as i have to work this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon. I'm slowly running out of holidays.

 

[Luv_Muffin]

Okay, Sir Toma.
Just thought I'd offer you a chance to get some quality whoopin' done before it's game over Alex. Heh Heh.

I'll post my turn in a few hours.
(Now where did the Mrs. put my lucky mouse I use for conquering folks?)

 

[Luv_Muffin]

Pre-turn:

Sending a herd of workers north, to improve Old Aztec country.

Stealth Bomber takes out Alex's coal mine, do several promotion as I'm
eyeing our next targets.
Stealth Bomber takes out Alex's aluminum mine.

Culture turned up to 80%, -50'ish/turn, but we can't spend this money
right now anyway. Hope to push borders back, we'll see what happens.

We have destroyed Alex! Ooops, wait a minute, no we haven't!?

I spot Alex's last city, he's hiding behind Nappy's skirts!

I try to get Cyrus's attention on the problem area. I think we both overlooked it. So close, yet so far away. Rats!

End Turn Report:
I'll end my turn here on a nice round number.
We have our transport heading east along the coast. If we have to, fill it up with units and sail around the whole world again to get to Alex. We can't rely on Cyrus figuring out how to get troops over there, can we?

We have a fishing boat approaching the old egyptian waters. There is a fish resource I wanted connected quickly, it is one or two turns away from arrival.

I have started moving some of our units back towards our main empire, but think we should keep a handfull in the west. If HC or Saladin get ideas, I'd like to be able to lay the smack down on them.

Culture is still too high, may want to drop it back into a profit zone, but I did manage to push Nappy's borders back a little in the centre.

We need more missionaries! Flood the west with Hindu and Jewish missionaries so we can build a cathedral in Orleans! Plus, the +25% bonus production is nice when we have a city converted to the state religion. Culture is nice too, keeps bad peoples borders at bay.

That's about it. Have fun Scowler. I almost had him down for the count. If you want to finish him off, you'll have to sail there or use diplomacy (Nappy declare on Alex?)

I also think that once the Budhist holy city completes the courthouse, we put the Forbidden Palace there.
