SGOTM 04 - Team VQ

[Scowler]

Sorry for the delay. A work project and a sick friend unexpectedly demanded my attention.

I'll be playing this tonight.

 

[Scowler]

Started by turning research down to zero. With Izzy about to land it made sense to have some extra money available for emergency upgrades. I also shifted some extra units into the capital - just in case.

Sure enough, she dumped stuff, but landed next to Bjorgvin rather than the capital - a city with only two longbows for defense.

So I made some upgrades, poached units from other cities, and suddenly things didn't look quite so bad:

She was sufficiently discouraged that she turned to pillaging. Then she made a couple of careless assaults with her artillery and I was able to pick off her forces at leisure (apart from losing an infantry at 90% odds...). The last enemy unit had been destroyed by turn 6.

Boston was captured without difficulty on turn 1. We got 3 free workers - which I promptly lost to a (Uncle) SAM that was lurking in the darkness inside Hannibal's territory. Stupid stupid stupid

Then came a pleasant surprise: Brennus declared war on Izzy and her vassal Washington. He sent a trio of destroyers that wiped out the ships that had landed troops on our land and continued to guard our coast against future incursions. He went on to take a couple of Izzy's cities and generally keep her occupied while we made preparations to kill off Washington.

Physics was completed and I started work on Artillery.

The rest of the turnset was relatively uninteresting. Right at the end, there was a Carthaginian revolt in Boston

Then I captured Chicago and wiped out the Americans. Izzy had a settler hiding in the city so we got another worker

Izzy is now ready to make the following deal for peace. I left it open for the next player; maybe she might consider giving us a tech?

How the mighty have fallen...

Another point to note: Remember Gandhi's endless supply of caravels? Well he upgraded them to frigates and they've been just as annoying. He pillaged some of our nets in the south, but I eventually upgraded a couple of our own frigates to destroyers and they made short work of the intruders. But it's nice to know that Gandhi is still using his resources wisely

Le save

What is this "Join Date/Location/Post" thingy? You cut-n-pasted your own vitals?

Cosmic has still yet to return in-to-pocket (from the other SG), so I suggest you not wait too long to grab the save, namliaM.

Fantastic work, Scowler ... re: gandhi's frigates ... yeah, but we should be having destroyers soon ...

I would recommend taking the peace.

He was OOP till may second IIRC... I will wait a day and take it in the weekend if cosmic hasnt

 

[Scowler]

He was OOP till may second IIRC... I will wait a day and take it in the weekend if cosmic hasnt

He also needed to get reconnected after his move. He suggested it might be sometime this week, but you know what telecom companies are like...

 

[namliaM]

telecom companies are like...

Hey ! My employer/customer is one be carefull !!!

 

[bobrath]

So did you play?

 

[namliaM]

Hey folks,

Sorry with the mothersday weekend I didnt get any chance to play and I will be abroad for work, so getting to play is unlikely....

Fox please pick it up

 

[GreyFox]

Should have said that earlier ... I was free at home yesterday. Today I am UP in 3 SGs (including this).

Got it, playing today or tomorrow.

 

[namliaM]

Should have said that earlier ...

Sorry fox,

was away longer this weekend than I had antisipated, I should have been able to play myself.... but RL

 

[GreyFox]

Sorry guys, I only had time tonight to play 5 turns. if bobrath wants to, you can grab it and play, else I should be able to continue tomorrow night (if my work doesn't require me to fly tomorrow).

The big "bad" news is this:

DAMNED!!!!

We have to decide how to proceed next. We can of-course attempt to attack Brennus, but right now I think our best bet is to go against Hannibal. In any case, we need to ferry our troops over to the other continent. Its a long process. We need to build more transport.

To alleviate this, I started us with flight after artillery is in.

I noticed we have a prophet in Nidaros ... suggest saving him for a golden age (some other city ... the one harassed by Indian Frigates) is due to produce most probably an artist in the next turn or so.

>>> The Save (1790AD) <<<

 

[bobrath]

I'm out of town through Thursday so you can hold onto it GreyFox.

Too darned bad that Brennus is sooooo scary that other civs will quickly fold under his wing.... HMMMMMMM interesting thought that you folks can shoot down:
If Ghandi capitulates to Brennus, we have to declare on Brennus asap HOWEVER if Brennus were to launch to space - that means Ghandi launched as well right?

 

[GreyFox]

No, a vassal can still win a space race (or for that matter, diplomatic and cultural, don't know abt time, I think so). I guess what I mean to say is that a master winning has nothing to with its vassals ... they are not considered a team.

--

 

[GreyFox]

Alright, things are getting a lot worse ...

Geez ... Man, that is fast for an AI! Seems like we have no choice but to do the unthinkable: declare on brennus.

Meanwhile, a bit of sweet news ... we got an artists .... Mr The-world-is-a-stage ...

We should probably start a golden age.

And bad news again ... Boston inevitably revolted once more and joined Hannibal

>>> The Save (AD1800) <<<

We should probably discuss what to do next ... but I think a war with brennus cannot be avoided if we are still harboring hope for Gandhi, however minute the chances are, to be the first to reach for the stars. We could of-course try to beeline to scotland yard and try Operation Nikita, but that won't help Gandhi.

--

 

[namliaM]

Looks like we are in some deep trouble here... How can we attack Brennus??? Geez.... This keeps getting worse

 

[GreyFox]

So is anyone playing this?

 

[Scowler]

If nobody else claims the save within the next 24 hours or so I guess I'll give it a whirl, though I don't relish the prospect of waving a stick at the big B.

 

[namliaM]

Yep, Bob has had more than enough time. Bob if you like, pick it up ASAP, else Scowler please take it ....
