SGOTM 01 - Peanut

[DaviddesJ]

OK, I only got through 1.5 turns, but everything is working according to plan. I positioned my forces in 1268 AD, and then in the 1274 AD turn I declared war and wiped out Roosevelt's big stack. He lost 20 units (6 War Elephants, 7 Horse Archers, 2 Longbowmen, 1 Crossbowman, 1 Pikeman, 1 Swordsman, 1 Axeman, 1 Catapult) at the cost to us of 4 or 5 units (2 Catapults and 2 or 3 Knights---I don't remember exactly). One of our Catapults actually killed a War Elephant while inflicting collateral damage (1% chance!).

I also finished off Cyrus in 1274 AD, and it looks like we'll pick up at least a half-dozen tiles of territory around Phoenician.

Tomorrow, on to America. I think we can conquer quickly, but he still has a lot of cities, and some are far away---I don't think I'm going to complete the conquest in my 10 turns. The turns should go faster now---I spent considerable time planning the attack on his big stack.

 

[Phabuk]

Good news from the war front !!! The stack is down !
I didn't participate too much to the discussion, but I think attacking the stack first was the best thing to do.

Daviddjes, I agree with the fact that if you can finish the game in few turns after your turnset, just do it... let me know if you want me to take my turn.

Good luck!

 

[civ_steve]

Definitely good news; that stack had to contain most of his offensive potential. The issue now is the time required to move units through his culture and to bring cities out of disorder. Good Luck, DaviddesJ!

 

[DaviddesJ]

OK, I'm up to 1298 AD (i.e., I've played 5 complete turns). I've killed another 20 units (in addition to the 20 that I took out in the ambush), and captured Boston and Atlanta. Roosevelt has a lot of units: I think he has about 50 left. We have about 50 Knights. Unfortunately, he's researched Guilds and has started upgrading his Horse Archers to Knights (but only one or two so far).

I can definitely grind him down; it's just taking a long time. I'll continue my set tomorrow, then I'll probably pass it on to Phabuk for more warfare. I'd guess we need 10 more turns of war, then 10 turns to eliminate resistance, then 5 turns for border expansion, so probably about 25 more turns from 1298 AD....

By the way, war weariness is definitely building up, as we're taking significant losses. I'll have to crank up culture soon. We're running a modest deficit, at 0%. We have a big pile of gold which should get us through the next 10-20 turns, but we won't have a lot to spare, I think. At some point, we should basically assume we have enough military, and retarget all of our cities for commerce, and switch to Caste System and create many Merchants (and artists where we need border expansion, of course). Maybe that will be in a few more turns. We can also switch to Police State, to control war weariness, when we capture Washington (in 2 turns probably).

 

[ainwood]

Is there anything we can do to stop the upgrades? Pillage resources? Maybe rushing some pikes might help.

 

[MailMan]

I think this is a good time to count tiles and see exactly what we need to achive domination.
@DaviddesJ - can you post the current save?

 

[civ_steve]

We should be in the ballpark of needing right around 200 tiles in the Arabia-America continent. (Khurasan-Island and Phoenician weren't counted before, and if we haven't already claimed the Island north of Chicago, that's another potential 9 or so.) If we capture a couple more cities, and pillage his critical resources, perhaps it is beneficial to declare peace in exchange for a couple more cities (if he'll give them up) and use the 10 turns to heal up, reform, bring cities out of disorder, form artists and prepare for a final blitz to free up whatever cultural space we have gained. Each city that expands once gains us 21 tiles so controlling 10 cities gains us enough space, not counting for loss of tiles due to overlapping culture and non-land spaces; I'm counting on some of the Arabian cities expanding twice to make up that difference. Of course, a more specific count would be better!

 

[MailMan]

we can build up (rush) settlers, destroy American cities and settle our own settlers. this will reduce the resistance time.

So, if we decide to sign peace, we should prepare 8-10 settlers to occupy the land earlier.

I think that we should continue with the war campaign.

 

[DaviddesJ]

OK, here's the 1304AD save, and a screenshot of Amerarabia. My previous estimate was that we needed 580 land tiles for 64%. Currently we're at 47.33%, which should be about 430. So we need about 150 more.

It's a good idea to use some settlers for new cities, instead of waiting for resistance to end. I will start building some right away. I will consider switching to Universal Suffrage (after taking Washington this turn) for cash rushing. But probably I can use pop rushing, and some chopping, in conquered American cities to get some settlers right away. I'll also rush a few back home.

I marked some sites, with green dots, where I can settle new cities even if I don't raze any of Washington's cities. This turn, I can take Washington, Basra, and Chicago. Which should I keep, and which should I raze? Looking at the military situation again, it's probably only 5-6 turns for me to take all of the American cities. On reflection, perhaps we can win in about 10 turns.

I'll continue playing, 9-10 hours from now.

 

[MailMan]

I counted the tiles and reached almost the same number of tiles missing: 149
I think we can finish the game in 7-8 turns.
I think we should do the following:

1. raise lux. it has 3 effects:
- there is unhappiness and it will cure it.
- it will allow several cities to reach a new expansion in 7-8 turns.
- there is 2 tiles at 51% and 52% in India land that we may flip


2. build settlers to occupy the following spots:
- the island east of HC land (9 tiles). we should parities that spot, since we will need it to expand its borders. I suggest rushing a settler in Ollati... (the city to the eat) in two turns and use the galleon near by for transport.
- we should start another settler in HC land (Cuzco) to grab the extra 5 tiles there.
- there are 3 tiles on the motherland that we can grab using 2 settlers.
- I suggest raising Minoan and settle 2E of that (its on west Arabia)


3. caste system should be used in about 5 turns after we rushed all the settlers we need.

4. we should concentrate on taking out Washington, Basra and Chicago.
I suggest taking them out THIS turn (even at the cost of several units).
with the forces left we may take out another city to reduce culture pressure and gain more tiles to existing cities. (lower priority)
in the next few turns we should raze Minoan and Houston.

5. good luck

 

[civ_steve]

I don't have access to the save so I'm talking blindly here.

I like the idea of using Settlers in Arabia-America to grab more terrain rapidly. One issue is, I don't think you can settle in America's culture if we're at peace (and I'm not entirely sure about whether we can settle in another AI's culture even if we're at war). Assuming we can settle I like the dot layout except for the one on the coast near San Francisco. Would we be better to be more interior, about 1W/2N, or 1W/3N from the dot location shown? Settled cities can probably pop their culture in 4 turns or so, either using existing cottage or their 1 pop as an Artist, so newly settled cities can be expanding about the same time as captured American cities are coming out of disorder. Your locations work well with the existing American cities so I see little reason to raze them when captured (unless you plan to flood the area with Settlers - in this case, better to raze and re-settle with multiple settlers then to wait for disorder to end.)

Are any cities (such as Basra or Minoan, both captured cities) on the table? I guess there's no way to know unless we make the offer (or demand), unlike in Civ3 where the advisor will tell you if they will accept it or not. He might give Basra up if his back's against the wall (he just captured it), so maybe its worthwhile to see if he'll do that after driving him down to just a couple cities, and capture it if he doesn't.

 

[DaviddesJ]

Yes, I'll take Washington, Basra, and Chicago this turn, barring any surprises. Should I raze any of them? I will keep them all, unless someone suggests otherwise. Washington may not come out of resistance before the end of the game, but it's not too much in the way, and the Pyramids will be useful for cash rushing.

I did send the galleon up to carry a settler to the last island. I hope we'll get there before Gandhi.

We were going to get a bunch of territory around Phoenician, but Gandhi suddenly claimed all of the land around us. Perhaps he did another culture bomb?

When I capture the Pyramids, should I switch to Universal Suffrage immediately, and Caste System at the same time, and give up on Slavery? Caste System for artists in only the cities where I need culture is more efficient than turning up the culture slider everywhere. But if I can't use Slavery, and can only rush with cash, will I have enough money?

Maybe I will use Slavery for just 1-2 more turns (including rushing several settlers), and then switch to Universal Suffrage + Caste System for the endgame. I think I don't need to build any more military---I should have switched to settlers a couple of turns ago.

When we switch to Caste System, newly settled cities can grow to 15 culture in two turns (using 2 artists, including 1 from Mercantilism). In principle, we could get 15 culture in one turn, but I think we would need a missionary to spread a religion there (2 free culture, 8 from 2 artists, 4 from commerce, 1 from religion).

 

[civ_steve]

So any captured city coming out of disorder with 2 or more pop can be made to expand in 1 turn; that's pretty powerful! I wouldn't expect (m)any 2nd expansions at this stage and generate settlers to fill the gaps. One revolution to Caste and Universal Suffrage is in order; your call as to whether we get a round of pop-rushes in or not. Our cash position is pretty good, but extra population doesn't help us. You've got it well under control - good execution, DaviddesJ!

 

[DaviddesJ]

OK, good news. Domination victory in 1334 AD with 70.78% of territory. I barely missed winning in 1328 AD, by 6 tiles. I could have saved a turn if I'd gotten a slightly faster start on pumping out settlers.

Save file here: http://gotm.civfanatics.net/saves/civ4sgotm1/Peanut_SG001_AD1334_01.Civ4SavedGame

Roosevelt was conquered in 1322 AD. I just missed conquering him in 1316 AD by one remaining Pikeman in his capital, at 10% strength. I don't think that would have affected the win date, though, as I razed all of his cities near the end, anyway and the limiting factor was how fast I could get my settlers into position. (After my last report, I only kept Washington and Basra, and Basra came out of resistance too late to matter. Washington never came out of resistance, but the Pyramids were very helpful.)
