In any case, is there some reason to not land at Viagra-NW? PUt us 1t closer to Delhi and still can attack VIagra first, ir you prefer.
I didn't look at it closely enough. No reason not to land Viagra-NW.
Was the original plan to attack Delhi first? Capturing Viagra with reinforcements?
So I'm considering sending eyes to Gandhi on T+2 and switching the war plan to use ironclads if necessary. Delays the assault on Gandhi for 2-3 turns, saves us the commerce from Colossus for a bit longer (I think it is up to 50 per turn), Saves us from using the espionage slider, delays Observatories (but they were hard to fit in right away anyways in a lot of places)
Lose out on trade routes to Stalin and trading for his fish too.
I don't know what is best
Gets us factories sooner
Probably allows us to trade for Astronomy or at least steal it with passive espionage bonuses
Plan B
Research/Espionage
T+0 0% research AL 0% espionage //// keep espionage on Roosy
T+1 0% research AL 0% espionage on Roosy
T+2 100%/0% research AL (what we can afford) //// Can see Roosy research consider stealing Riflery //// switch espionage to Gandhi
T+3 100%/0% research AL (what we can afford) /// Riflery Steal considered
T+4 100%/0% research AL (what we can afford) /// Riflery Steal considered /// split espionage Gandhi/Roosy enable Astronomy steal and give other espionage options vs Roosy (counter espionage, flipping civics, etc)
T+5
T+6
T+7 100%/0% research into AL (what we can afford)
Plan to burn GE in 3 person GA
Civic changes T+1 switch to Nationhood
AI interactions
Trade for Stalin's Fish once get Astronomy (later probably than before)
renewing trades for Roosy fish/clam turn plan to spread sushi to him
Tentative plan for next 6 turns (stopping turn before this GA ends)
Significant build changes would be
Beijing stretches to build an IronClad in 3 turns (means running only 1 spy for 2 turns and then 2 spies 3rd turn, (maybe more if I can get Sushi here))
Workers committed to building 2 workshops so Hastings can finish Ironclad in 2 turns.
I'm working on a map for the Ironclad protected landings on Gandhi, get a better idea of how much a delay it would cause.
So the ironclad protection plan
T+1 Trireme located at NewCastle goes to scout Gandhi's lands to see how many caravel/galleons, etc are about. To assess if the 7 galley fleet could land troops and retreat to the safety of an ironclad coming from Beijing.
T+2 Galley drops knight off in Gandhi's lands to assess the level of defense Gandhi has
T+5 If threat is low from Gandhi navy, 7 galley fleet lands troops protected only by trireme, with plan to flee to safety of Ironclad on T+5
T+5 5 galley fleet could still land troops near Agra protected by Ironclad built in Hastings.
If threat from Gandhi's navy is high delay 7 galley assault for T+7.
Grey T+1
White T+2
Black T+3
Red T+4
Orange T+5
Yellow T+6
Green T+7
Sorry error on picture near 5 galley fleet, textbox suggest T+4 attack, but really only could land T+5 protected by Ironclad from Hastings.
(who would've thunk that they would help us, the poor neglected unit)
