xpost with RRR, hahahaha
I'm adopting mdy's PPP with a few minor changes/clarifications in RED
Pre Play Plan:
Techs-Research Astronomy(1T) at 0%-steal steam power-research railroad-finish astronomy if we can't trade for it-afterwards depends on rooservelt.
Cities:
Moscow:
Hires at least 5 scientists. Will produce GP for 3 GP golden age, can also provide scientist for the 5GP golden age.
Builds confu missionary, confu missionary,-wealth- mining exec, but interrupt for an observatory/grocer when necessary.
Fish:
works fish, all land tiles except watermill(1T), then works watermill instead of gold.
T+0 Hires 2 merchants
T+1: grow and work lake
T+2: Hire an extra merchant and stop working the lake
T+4: Grows, Wall Street finished. Hire 14 merchants. Build wealth to preserve overflow.
Once mining corp founded fire 7 merchants for 1T to build the executive in 1T, then rehire them. Start workboats for eastern islands.
T+11: GP generated
Pigs:
T+0: Hire 2 artists only
T+1: Hire 9 artists (total)
T+2: Hire another artist
T+10: Hire max artists without starving
Whip university immediately, then build wealth.
Spread Sushi with the executive built in GP farm next term
This city can produce a GP for the 4 person golden age.
GP FARM:
works all hammer tiles, and however many farms are needed to ensure we grow at one pop a turn. After finishing the executive builds building allowing us to run specialists and spies. Specialists assigned in order - prophets-engineers-spies-merchants
This city can produce a GP in time for the 4GP 3 GP golden age.
Siberia:
Immediately hire a spy and engineer, and then 3 more engineers once we have the ironworks, this should put this city in a position to generate a GP for our 4 GP golden age.Hire no more GP's here for now to work workshops.
T+2 Spread Shushi with executive from
T+3 Shushi executive for Beijing
T+4 Shushi executive for Paris
T+5 Build Levee
T+6 Mining corps executive
T+7 Mining corps executive
Continuously build mining corps executives.
Kamachka:
T+0 whip Sushi executive
T+1 Build Sushi executive for Siberia
T+2 Build Sushi executive for Orleans
Hire a spy, and then scientists as the city grows.
Build 3 settlers, 1 for the copper site in the south 1, 1 for the iceball iron city, and 1 for the 2 clam island. Then build a couple of spies. Then start university.
1 galley in this area permanently assigned to transporting executives
Bananas:
Whip university, workboat for clams near Moscow, workboat for the copper sites fish, build wealth, hire spy other than that hire only scientists
Builds any extra spies we might need.
prebuild a galley to convert hammers invested into a galleon build once we get astronomy (for workers/settlers to islands and eventually Stalin)
Bermuda:
Spread Sushi using executive built in Bahamas next turn
Finishes Versailles, builds 3 settlers/jail/market/university/temple
Hires, engineer, spys, prophet, then scientists as it grows
Should generate a GP in time for fourth GP golden age
Bahamas:
Builds executives.
Keeps the current 5 spys. Slot in happy buildings in any gaps.
Hire scientists as additional specialists.
BCool:
whips university, OF into worker, spreads Sushi using executive currently in Bahamas. Builds workboats for island cities, and later executives/harbour.
I estimate at least 92 worker turns on Bcool island alone. We need more workers here.
Haiti:
T+0: Borrows BCool workshop
T+1: whip courthouse.
lighthouse
library,
wealth and work scientists and MM ocean tiles for growth once lighthouse is built
The Crabbes:
Whip library then builds university, hire spy, engineer and then scientists as specialists
Iron Spice:
Continues with granary(chopped), then start courthouse
Cuba:
Whip university, start grocer start market hire spy and engineer specialist only.
Steam;
Continue building wealth.
Hire citizen instead of working farm.
Only use it to steal steam power from Churchill.
Rheims:
Hires merchants once it has run out of land tiles.
T+0 Shushi spread by executive in steam
T+1 Shushi executive built, send to hammer city
Builds more executives. When numbers limit interferes build
caravel- university-temple-jail-colloseum
Order:
London
Shanghai
Other executives go to the China/England area.
Can generate a GP in time for 4 GP golden age.
Orleans:
builds settler
T+1 whips settler
(since Moscow can now produce Confu missionaries for us)
Build longbows for military garrisons, and later executives
Paris:
start temple, whip T+1, overflow into knight, then build 2 more temples-Buddhist missionary for London-library-jail and/or intel agency, university-
Immediately hire 3 prophets, and build temples to allow us to hire 2 more. Hire 4th prophet on T+2, 5th when second temple built.
Instead of trying to spread Judaism here I think we can build some spy specialist buildings here to try and get a GP from here. I think a Prophet/Spy are interchangeable.
Hammer City:
Build forge
Sushi spread on T+1 with executive from Rheims.
Whip forge next turn, build leveee/library
Build executives for other cities.
Build market in any gaps, we will need the happiness here at some point.
Tours:
T+1 whip courthouse
Build granary-forge
Hastings:
T+0:whip courthouse
whip galley
but build courthose
whip Jewish missionary for Paris
T+1:Build Jewish missionary
T+1 whip courthouse (so no penalty for no hammers invested)
T+2:Build galley
T+3:Build Courthouse
Continue with granary
I don't think the Jewish Missionary is worth the 3 extra pop it would take to build. Paris can build spy specialist buildings to increase chances of getting a great person instead of another temple.
Nanjing:
T+0: Whip courthouse, start granary
T+1: Whip granary
T+2: Finish Courthouse
T+3: Finish Granary
Build Forge
Shanghai:
switch to caravel, whip next turn, build grocer-wealth, hire merchants as specialists
Beijing:
whip university-start galley-whip galley-temple then 3 workboats. Hire only prophet and engineer in addition to the spies.This city can produce a GP for our 4 GP golden age.
Guangzhou:
start galley-whip galley-lighthouse-library-university
Chengdu:
whips library, starts university
Catured cities from Churchill:
build replace courthouse/granary/lighthouse, then build library/university.
New Cities:
We have 6 sites we would like to settle for there resources fairly soon:
1) A city to grab the fish and copper SW of crabs
2) 4E 1N of Bermuda
3) 3N of Bermuda
4) 3S 2E of pig
5) The clam island near Stalin
6) Iceball iron city south of Curchill
Sites 4, 5 and 6 can be founded with 3 settlers from Kamchtka
Bahamas can build the other 3 by T+8 .
There are some other islands we can settle, but they will have to wait till astronomy.
1 Island can be settled by extra settler from Orleans and galleon being pre-built in Bananas
Build courthouse-granary in all new cities
Workers:
BCool island currently has 4 workers. Leave 3 to improve/scrub that island, move one back in time to railroad mines on Bahamas island. The worker currently scrubbing the island to the north will join them, then more those 2 workers back to the mainland. But only do this once critical improvements are finished.
9 worker in Tours-Hammer City area scrub the surrounding area then 3 build railroad into England and Gandhi. 2 remain to workshop around hammer city. 4 workers move to immediately build a fort by Hastings on T+2, then continue building railroads.
3 workers in France area scrub then build railroad extension into America area.
4 workers in Moscow area scrub, farm, and then railroad towards Rheims.
3 workers to the north scrub, then railroad Siberia-Troy-Moscow.
Once this hub is set up railroad over mines and to link other key cities up.
Improvements to be built by workers: any corporation resource-workshop-other improvements-scrubbing.
Churchill War:
Cease fire next turn after capturing Canterbury/Newcastl. Canterbury attack starts this turn. Gift steam and steal steam power. Redeclare next turn.
Newcastle stack is then sent North in preparation for the Gandhi war.
When we redeclare war send the London stack to take Nottingham
Canterbury stack takes Warick then moves to Newcastle in preparation for the gandhi war.
I think we should leave Churchill Coventry as it will allow the London stack to join the India war sooner.
Mao War/Stalin War
Cancel plans for this and leave him in St Nick. Gift Bing Mao to France to avoid maintenance costs and diplo demerits with Rooservelt.
Gandhi War
Send trieme in Hastings to Newcastle
Caravel built in Shanghai to Guangzhou so they can be upgraded to frigates later.
3 New galleys ere built in Hastings/Guangzhou/Beijing.
3 galleys to the north of the main continent head to Xian. Arrive by T+7.
The galleys in/being built in Beijing and Guangzhou are also sent there, transporting units from the Oxford peninsualar there on the way. This will allow us to land 14 units on NW of Viagra on T+9.
The 3 galleys built in Hastings and 2 near Mitchums Oasis head towards Newcastle so we can land 10 units on Gandhi's southern flank on T+9.
Leave Gandhi in Galley city, but keep knight on the hill next to the city just in case he sends a unit out. Send the cannon to Xian.
Abort the Marseilles attack. Leave a couple of muskets in that area just in case Churchill sends out a couple of pillagers. Get it from Churchill in a peace treaty if possible, otherwise leave it in his hands. The rest of the units are sent onto Xian-arrive between T+6 and T+7.
Only upgrade trebuchets when necessary to keep the advance going.
Espionage: Send 1 spy near Troy to Vladivostok and one from north of St Nick, the other goes Nick to Troy. If we have at least 1 survivor from stealing steam power send it to Troy. If we lose both build another spy in bananas.
We will have enough espionage by T+6 to see Rooservelt's research, as things stand but by hiring a few additional spies for 1T I think we can manage this by T+5. By my estimate on T+5 we will have 1432 espionage and we currently need 11446 to see his research.
Misc:
Trade Gandhi dye for fish.
Revolt to caste system/pacifism/Civil Service on T+1.
Settle next GG in Moscow
If we can't be sure that Mao will sign a cease fire in a turn or two delay the Mao war and military tradition steal.
I propose to pause once we have railroad on T+6 when we should know what Rooservelt is researching, or on T+5 if we can trade for astronomy by then.
I forgot about that, since we never used it for that.
