SGOTM 07 - Chokonuts

I'm back as well from now. I'll try and open the save to check I've got all the right mods and Dlls and whatnot installed and to comment later tonight.

BTW, I wouldn't build a galleon. Let the other continent discover us. If we never meet them they can't do anything to us and we're unlikely to pick up any decent trading off them. Highly important to trade them something straight away to get the +4 diplo, if they meet us.
 
Played 10.

Our shared war with Alexander is still going on, so we should be good. Alex seems to be holding out pretty well against Asoka, maybe we should support Asoka with some money?
We have 3 turns left on communism.
We got the fishes back, so Beijing can grow two more, if we want to.
 
hey now all ~

sorry, i've been AWOL lately. things in RL have been "hectic" to say the least, and I don't foresee me being able to be back in the pocket for at least a few more days, maybe more.

I'm really sorry, as I've got my hand in a lot of cookie jars (least of all 3 of my own), but you see i don't even have time to write personalized messages.

I have NO idea where we are in the game as I haven't been even able to read the zone here since last week. Play on, and I shall be back ~

Oz take it as you missed out lazst time round. All seems set for PA, I think after Comm we should look to Bio and Medicine to help us grow larger. Should we also look to build Hermitage to help sustain our borders and stop us losing current resources?? Only take six turns currently.
 
An open of the save and a quick review show that if we sack a scientist to grow and start Hermitage, Communism stays at 3 turns, so we do that.

Then I press enter for three turns.

Two things of interest then happen.

Asoka kills Alex.



And we discover Asoka doesn't like us enough for a PA :mad:



Drastic measures are enacted.



To wonderful effect :goodjob:



I direct him to research Physics (goes from 13 turns to 2).

As we are now the junior partner, I sack another scientist to grow quicker.

We are up only Communism on Lizzie but plenty on everyone else who we now have met (Mansu, Louis, Cyrus, Saladin, Catherine). Catherine has killed Monty and Hatty it seems and has a Mansu city as well, so we need to watch her. I goift her Liberalism to get her off annoyed.

Asoka gets the free scientist from Physics. I dial up Biology next.

We lose the fur but build Hermitage so hopefully will get it back. I build a temple for some more culture then back onto research.

All our army is upgraded to rifles and grennies. I traded somw junk techs to the AIs who hated us and got everyone at least cautious (some pleased) except Kublai.

Elizabeth, Catherine, Huayna, Saladin and Cyrus are our threats. Do not trade with them if we can avoid it. Currently no-one has any techs we need (a couple have MT).

Research wise, I think we should head straight for Computers after Biology (for labs), then Industrialisation, then Rocketry, then Robotics.

I think we're in pole position here but have to try and keep the other AI happy. If we're worried, head for Assembly Line and upgrade again. Once we hit Industrialisation and start building tanks we should be all right.

I noticed half way through my turn that we never swapped civics to Free Religion or Mercantilism :mad:. We should do this asap. 10% research bonus and a free GS is not to be taken lightly.

We could grow quicker if we like but also can wait for Biology to kick in. The workers are lumbermilling at the moment. We have uranium in the ice but hooking it up isn't a priority. Until we know we have a clear research advantage we should stick to the research I think (scientists and building).
 
Im ok with heading for computers but should we take Medicine for Environmentalism first would give us extra 6 health cap. Haven't heard from Ngraner for a while do we head back to top of roster.
 
Turn 0: Switched to Free Trade (Mercantilism would cost us our foreign trade routes, currently giving over 20 commerce) and Free Religion.

Turn 1: Asoka gives us his extra Incense.

Turn 3: Biology complete, begin Electricity.

Turn 5: We get a great scientist and merge him. Soon we may be better off beakering. Our culture goes to influential.

Turn 6: Louis asks us to cancel deals with the English. We tell him to shove off, but he is not pleased.

Turn 7: JC asks us to cancel deals with the Germans. We tell him to shove off too, and he is not pleased. Cyrus offers Dye for Crab, we say sure.

Turn 8: We get the Beaver back. Woo Hoo.

Turn 10: Electricity complete, Radio undertaken.
 
I'm good with heading for computers as well, after that, steel for cannons? go for rocketry? Or should we put our focus in another direction.

What about another war, there are still a couple of opponents on our continent that are very weak, do we want to try to get more cities for Asoka?
 
I'm going to be AWOL for a week or two, sorry, something has come up short notice. So....

1) I think we should go for computers but if we need to detour via Medicine for Enviromentalism if health starts to slow down our growth.

2) Potential wars?? It is only worth Asoka taking cities that he already has some border nearby, Liz and Fred maybe a little to strong so that leaves HC and Washington. Washington is more backward thus more of a pushover but he has borders with us so we may end up with our hands dirty fighting him which is risky. HC would (especially Cuzco) would be a good prize but we would need some tech advantage as he already has Grens and Rifles.
 
geez ~ radio, computers ~ you miss a few weeks :lol: sorry guys, but i'm still OoP and will be for the next month or two.

however, if you guys end up placing, remember i was on the roster. [if it's another wooden spoon, then bugger off ;) ]
 
Ten turns passed quickly.

I built a Buddhist Temple. We have lost our oil.
Radio arrives and Computers is selected, Asoka feels like Democracy so we switch him to Computers as well. Computers in 9.

Roster is

cubbiesin08
pholkhero - Away
Mighty Dwaarf - Awol
McArine - Just finished
Ozbenno - Up
ngraner42 - On deck
terminator3k - MIA
glenmetz - MIA
 
Should we try to keep this moving, we've got another month to play, and a long way to go.
We're also entering the summer holiday season, so we should inform when we're not able to play.
