Been building a few units. Haven't drafted heavily except in Three Food (renamed Global Draft). Built various jails, colosseums, completed queued builds.
 
Very good round.

The end seems to be in sight, will we take the kemlin city then Vassal Gandhi? I'd be inclined to do this.

What are peoples feelings on the Radio wonders? Gandhi has radio monolply, i suspect he will trade it almost immeadilty if we can offer a fair trade. This does conflict with our goal of taking Peri's wonders, i think tanks will be our best bet to subdue charlie and his little friend peri.

Looking at the map, we could concivably take diplo win with the UN, Joao should vote for us, Gandhi as well, currently we would against Charles in any vote, however after a war peri may split off and we could be againist August or Boddy, it could go horribly wrong and we'd face joao.

Anyhows we need peri's wonders so what are peoples thoughts on how to take them?
 
Rest assured that I have indeed submitted the save to SGOTM and you'll find it on the results page.

Vija still has NotreDame, we need that before vassel right?

If Ghandi is vasseled and he builds one of the radio wonders, does that still count as 'owning' the wonder? Perci only has 3 in his capital, how does it conflict?

Would a UN win work after taking all the wonders? And once we do get all wonders, is that the end?

We need HG from Charlie, could blitzgreig through Vienna and head north to Athens. Also need Aechen for a holy temple right?

No prob

If poss yes, unless it takes a huge effort. Forget where the city is located so tenative yes!

I believe we have to own the wonder not a vassal.

I beleive we have to win the game somehow, UN might be the quickest / easilest

We need HG from Charlie, could blitzgreig through Vienna and head north to Athens. Also need Aechen for a holy temple right?

Again not sure of it is worth the effort, but i'd say a tenative yes.

The earlier we win the higher our score. the more wonders we own the higher the score. Conciveable an earlier finish with less wonders may score higher than a later finish with more wonders. A sort of logarithmic graph if you will.
 
Excellent stuff!

I havent looked at the game, but maximizing wonderscore while controlling the landing should be the focus.
 
Kicked Indian behind and captured all wonders (except one...)

Then something happened. I read the event half and the choice seemed nothing or +1 relation with Ghandi. No harm I thought....
Spoiler :

....turned out +1 included a peace offering... OOPS :blush: sorry about that...


So now we are at peace with Ghandi the man. He even wants to become our vassal (I refused). Anyway he is down for the count. I did sign open borders so we can load our armies through Indian lands.

In the meantime the vulture Charlemagne with his sidekick Pericles has declared on Gandhi...

So we can redeclare with Gandhi in 8 turns orso...
Or we can take our stack of doom to Holy Rome who has two wonders, followed by Rome? Who has more wonders....

We are pretty much in control of the game. It's now a matter of capturing all wonders (building some ourselves) before we win.

We also got a Great engineer which we should use for a corporation but we need to get out of state property first for that. And we can build the pentagon and Red cross with Medicine.

Cripp or King, take it away!

THE SAVE
 
Nice work remi, i'm not sure if have the troops to immeditly declare on Charlie, i'm tempeted to seeing where our stack is. problem is re-enforcemets, i see we are queued up for factories not units. Gandhi can wait a few turns, maybe see what charly and percy send his way. Pentagon is late in the queue we may miss out.

August has a nasty SOD, not keen for that counter attack. Might be a building and troop production round next off.

I'll pick it up tomorrow unless cripp shows up.
 
Our stack (~20 arty and a bunch of infantries) is next to a Holy Rome city in Indian territory. More troops enroute. We need to upgrade more to Infantry and some cannons to artillery.
In the next turns factories (especially Ulundi and TH) are coming online and units will start pouring out every turn.
 
Nice one cripp.

If you go for charlie watch the counter attack, i'm sure he has a SOD or two around. If Joao has railroad maybe be quicker to consolidate troops then ship them across the water? Might be a good idea to build a few more units then blitz Charley in one go, we could then join the stacks and take percys wonder city.

I notice one of our indian cities is garrisoned with cavalry!

Yeah that's what I was thinking also. Build up a good stack to do a all in one hit. Some MGs for garrisons, we have a decent stack for 1 city.
