SGOTM 01 - V Q

Now that we lost out on the UN, we should probably use the GEs to build cultural national wonders on the border next to FDR (Damascus could use one).

@niamlaM Well, we are #1 in score and pretty far behind in power. Do you mean we need to improve our power before Gandhi will consider PA'ing us?
I seem to remember something beeing said about a PA not happening if one of the two is "the most powerfull". Not sure if I read it in here tho or somewhere else on the forum...
 
There's nothing worse than waking up in the morning and not seeing an update :cry: (glad I didn't stay up too late last night)

Gandhi was most powerful long before he thought he was fine on his own. Maybe it's based off the average? But that doesn't make sense, since I was building troops at the time and biding time with Sally.

I still think it's the age discrepancy.

:blush: I got involved watching TV, sorry.

I'm wondering what to do once we get elected Secretary General. I will try to go for the win first. My guess is we might not win on that first try. If not, anything I should do, or go for the win the second time as well?

Well for national wonders, I think I'll put Hermitage in Damascus. Any ideas on what wonders to put where?

I would do the following:
First Vote: Diplo Victory. If we don't win we should do either of the following
--If our relationship number with FDR is the same, the Second Vote should be Universal Sufferage. This will get us the Civics bonus with FDR.
--If our our relationship number has gone up (even to +9), go for Diplo Victory.

Lather, rinse, and repeat.

EDIT: Also, don't forget to save at the end of the turn of the vote. We'll want to upload both the turn before victory (if it happens) and the turn of victory.

Why is that? about uploading the turn before victory?

So GreyFox can Just. Press. Enter. :D

I just want the final turn available for mucking around before the victory. And for Hall of Fame recording.
 
Yay! Germany won!

Ahem ... I'm going to play now, wish me luck. Hopefully the Americans and Persians will vote for us. :)
 
Research Path

In 1774 AD (Turn 2) Education was finished and I chose to start Constitution so we can get to Democracy asap to get rid of the unhappiness from emancipation.

In 1786 AD (Turn 8) Constitution was done and Democracy was chosen.

City Production

I concentrated on building missionaries (to help the economic situation), culture (to alleviate the American cultural pressure), and research.

In 1778 AD (Turn 4) Damascus built the Hermitage. (Used a GE)

In 1782 AD (Turn 6) Najra built the Globe Theatre. (Used a GE)

Gandhi built Broadway in 1772 AD and the UN in 1774 AD

The Good Stuff

Ok, you could care less about that stuff, so I’ll tell you about our diplomatic situation. I’m sorry I didn’t take any pictures I got too caught up recording the numbers to remember.

In 1774 AD (Turn 2) Cyrus is +4 with us and +3 with Gandhi. Roosevelt is +8 with us and +5 with Gandhi. Everyone is Pleased with each other.

In 1780 AD the UN elections began. VQ vs. Gandhi. (260 of 650 votes needed to get it) We have 268 votes, so I abstained.

In 1782 AD the results came in.
Gandhi voted for Gandhi 168 votes
Cyrus voted for Gandhi 91 votes
VQ voted for VQ 270 (Did you really think I abstained?)
Roosevelt votes for VQ 124 votes

The diplomatic situation was the same as in 1774 AD except Roosevelt is now +9 with us.

In 1784 AD, VQ controlled 41.53% of the population of the world while Gandhi controlled 25.00%.

In 1788 AD, Cyrus come around and asks to convert to Buddhism. I did not want to lose pts with Roosevelt so I told him no way. I lost 1 pt because of it.

Afterward I get an opportunity to pass a resolution. I decided to go for the win to see whether we can get it or not. A diplomatic victory requires 410 out of 662 votes and we have 276 now.

Population was VQ 41.69% and Gandhi 25.00%

Diplomatic situation was Cyrus was pleased at both me and Gandhi and had +3 with us both. Roosevelt was friendly toward us with +10 and pleased at Gandhi with +5.


In 1790 AD, the results came in …
 
????????????????????????????
Team One is lonely and wants company.
 
Well, I was going to wait, but I didn't have the patience to wait and I didn't want you guys hunting me down, so ...

The results were
Gandhi votes for Gandhi 168 votes
VQ votes for VQ 276 votes
Roosevelt votes for VQ 127 votes
Cyrus abstains 93 votes

411 votes required to win, we got 403. We missed it by 8 points. :(

In 4 turns which should be the next election 11 of our cities will grow by 1 population point. I think we can win it next time as long as Roosevelt votes for us.

Blastoid is sad
Team one is still lonely.
 
Ok, that was close, but at least FDR is voting for us! :thumbsup: I was concerned the difference would be like 20 and we'd have to invade Cyrus.

So: Do not screw that up! FDR demands a city, give it to him!
 
Ok, just looked at the save ... we should cancel the following trades:

Gandhi:
Pig to VQ for Rice (especially since we now have Pig)
GPT to VQ for Spices
Dye to VQ for Sugar

Cyrus:
GPT to VQ for Cow

These trades give our opponents Health and the ability to grow their cities faster. Let's not help them. After cancelling the trades, see if you can trade any of these with FDR (I suspect not).
 
Ok, sounds like were a mere couple turns away from victory! :thumbsup:


I hope to see namlaiM take us home! (Just to make sure everyone's aware who's up!)
