So, is it decided, India is the target?
So, did you try to mark Theolpgy at Big picture?hit big picture, get...
Engineering. So, go back and start gifting scientific AI's - btw, with a lib, at 100% science, monotheism will take 35 turns.
Trades: MM and CoL to ottomans for 8 GPT
Give them Currency - they get monotheism, but won't give it for engineering. OK.
Currency to Persia for 3 gold, give them construction
They get feudalism, that is close for Engineering and lit
Gift Greece up, they get engineering - no help
Well, for GA it is too much. It is unique period and all team should participate here.I played through to 1000 BC.
Your turns start at 1475?write up:
Too early, you know... What year it have happened?IBT Egypt asks us to leave.
Roman curragh attacks dromons, loses - we are in a GA
At my calculations it may 34 without GA. Did I miss something?1375 - Theo in 31 ???
Why you did not do it at turn 1?we meet the celts - they are down alph, iron, HB and poly, no luxes, horses.
Upgrade our swords to MDI
IBT - Delhi starts building the GLib!!
You are right here...1350 BC - land pike and AC on mountain
rome still wants poly, writing and math, so I ignore them
We did not meet America yet. Anyway, better to sail home in short way to see direct line. One curragh was very close to home.1275 - we meet china and carthage - we know all civs I disband most of our curraghs to save on money
Why no bombardment? 3 dormons is a big force…AC loses to spear
MDI loses to spear
MDI kills spear
AC kill rSpear, 2 HP spear pops up
AC kills spear
What else have happend? What was troops motion?At SGTOM 11 I did it many times and we discussed few days key moments.
1175 IBT - Paris completes the glib.
1050 - vMDI kills spear.
vMDI redlines spear, dies
vMDI kills spear - we take delhi (now size 1)
You take Bombay here?1025
vAC kills spear
We are average compared to japan
Not sure, when they contact Persia, but good move anyway.1000 BC - trade engineering to joanie for 3 gold and 34 GPT - they will get it soon, anyway, from the GLIB
Yes, and Maya could help. And bombard also give information how many units inside.A couple of things - I probably should have waited a couple more turns before moving on delhi - I could have taken it at size 5 or 6, I think, if I had.
We are week vs Aztecs, and Japan help may not be efficient. Japan is obvious next target.We can handle a huge army now and should probably take on aztecs.
I did not make peace with Rome - they were a minor irritation, but bombardment tended to keep the curraghs away.
be careful moving the garrison out of delhi/bombay - india was poprushing like mad, so we might send them into disorder.
I will play today and continue tomorow. If nobody generate bright Idea I will go for Japan.If we're average to Japan we should probably go there now. In my experience average means sure victory, and the Japanese land looks good, and is close. The rest of the indian island seems to consist of mostly mountains and plains accept for north. Might have time to open save later today, will have time tomorrow for sure. But this is a large step as now we got more cities then the AI, which will help to grow further. Make sure to grow the new cities asap. Did we find Paris yet, we must take care of that. Maybe it's a good idea to start chosing some friends who will elect us in the UN later.
Unfortunately this two thinks contrudicts each other. It is wery difficult to improve land and cut forest while to be in war with Portugal. They have no Iron and go nowhere. Also, they will be corrupt. If we will not go to Japan first Aztec may kill them. So Japan is a target I chose and I think I'll finish them in 8-10 turns. Who is the next to be killed? The real worry is Inka. Rough terrain, Iron. Probably Maya may help.Opend save so here my thoughts:
We're currently stong compared to Portugese. We got some units there and Portugese territory looks resonably good. We will get some extra lux to trade as well. Why not take them first, then move to Japan and Aztecs, we need that island for productivity and the commerce of the Aztec capitol..
I think we may also bring and settle workers from home to India.As said before MM the new cities for growth, the should be growing faster, connect lux and get some irrigation around Bombay.
Agree about preliminary plan. Where you thnk to have FP?For friends I like the idea of keeping the scientific civs in the game. That will let us clear the rest of the former indian island except for the Ottomans, which are convinently on the far side (altough they are likely gona get killed by inca). We can take Japan and Aztecs and Egypt (gems) on the short term, other luxes are further away. Maybe we need some more friends, maybe some civs not worth taking. We'll need a better world map to decide on that.
Well, I am affraid, that it is "not enough. " For example make Korea effective it needs 8-10 Cities. So "Spain and Portugal" for Korea. And may be something else may help. Also Arab, Irokez for Grees, Cartage and China Russia for.We could even kill someone like Spain then give the cities to Korea as we won't get any commerce from it accept for scientists, maybe Spain can do more for us that way. Just a thought for now but might be worth thinking it over.
I think we should start to gift our friends into the MA (getting as much cash as possible of cource), for example Korea is way back as a scientific civ we need them to get strong. Now they are no use at all.
Are yuo sure? Now they pay 32 gpt and I belive the similar things will be in a future. I think if we loose 20 or 100 K we loose anyway.Where is France? I don't seem to be able to spot them. They can do lot of research for us, but we must make sure to kill them in time.
Well, I think that I will combine buildup and military phase. I hate, when Army stay with no use. As team captain I have privilege for first 20. So it will be last 20 turset. And next will be 10-15, or even shorter.Agree with playing fewer turns from now. Especially during war. During buildup (like next couple of turns) we could play bit more, but no more then like 15.
If things will continue as it is there is no way, but get Copernicus. And no risk, I belive. Shekspere looks a bit rediculos (never build it before), but if to look pragmatically Capital with Copernicus and Newton produce half total bpt. Edit: and Shecsp also help. Optional tech may help to trade IBT MA and IA and get second or even third level tech in IA. But let's see.If we keep strait line in science the ai can fill in the gaps and optionals. If we can get some more cities soon, before astronomy that is we can get the scientific wonders as well. I don't think I support going all the way to Shakespear, as it is a mayor detour, just to get 1 city bigger. Better to get to IA asap and hope for Newton and Copernicus.
