SGOTM 15 - Kakumeika

[Kaitzilla]

just do it

Downloading save and starting now then.

T163 - Made peace with Shaka for GhostTown.

Hamma offered peace with Shaka plus 80 gold for Diving Right. Have a huge pile of gold and Paper still for bribes later. +13 with Hamma still. Yes I probably should have traded two techs to Shaka for peace, but I chickend out sorry! Only Liz without a Hindu city now.

T164 - Shaka demanded Paper. I told him to go to hell. Trojan Horse revolted and damaged 15 Toku military but did not flip.

Made peace with Liz for Liztown.

Forged peace between Liz and Shaka by trading Paper to Liz and got 100 gold.

Whipped FishTown to Size 1 and gifted to Liz. Won't have access to fish until border pop. Only war in the world going right now is us and Liz vs. Hatsegawa. Her borders are still closed with Toku.

The 3 Hindu missionaries are in position. All civs now have Hindu.

Whipped 1 pop to get to 70.02% of the vote. We have 124 votes out of 177 and need 132 to reach 75%. No cities will grow. Everything seems in place for the Hindu spam next turn. Uploading so team can double check the math and everything and will play last turn in 15 minutes.

Do it. Good luck!

Let 'er rip!

 

[Kaitzilla]

Hmm. It won't let me upload the end of T164 save for the team to check. It says please check internet connection but internet is fine.

Tch. Will upload a screenshot of the diplo screen. You guys can check my math from that.

 

[mabraham]

OK, I'm ready to check.

Na, computer and net connection seem perfectly fine. Just the upload isn't working right now for some reason.

Be back in 10 minutes.

 

[bcool]

math seems fine from the screenshot

 

[Kaitzilla]

Math looks good at 124/177 (70%).

Playing last turn now.


T165 - It didn't work!

The top resolution means peace with Hatty I think. I can't look around to see what went wrong yet. Which one should I pick?

 

[mabraham]

Looks good. We should win even if none of the Hammu Hindu spreads work.... and surely that's impossible!

 

[mabraham]

Downloading the save seems to work, so I guess if you are still having uploading issues, if attach one here, we can try to upload for you, Kaitzilla.

Squinting at the screenshot, it looks like old dependible 74% GhostTown flipped to Hamma. It had a full BFC and Hinduism, but I didn't have a scout on it. I failed you guys by not doing SBB it looks like

 

[bcool]

stop the war I think, maybe the diplo option doesn't work if we are at war?

 

[bcool]

Okay so Hammuragawa isn't Hindu and he doesn't have a ton of votes...

So what are the problems now? the north AI will lose its city to Shaka? Will our units be enough to stop that?

What else? Shaka needs a Hindu city (and we don't have OB. We still could take SBB and gift it to him. We can do that T174 I assume. Assuming shaka isn't hamm's worst enemy.

 

[Kaitzilla]

I voted to stop the war against Ghandi.

It turns out having SBB also in Shaka's hands would not have made any difference. The awe inspiring Gawa rage is now legendary

Not sure what to say about that. Will upload the game since this is obviously a stopping condition.

We need to get Hinduism to Shaka and likely Mansa. Nightmare.

We want OB with Shaka, so I think keeping the Hatse war in the hope that we can bribe Shaka in against her is useful.

We probably want Hammu and Shaka back at war, soonish, so that we have the chance to use Borsippa as the Shaka Hindu city, one way or another.

T174 we might call a holy war on Shaka, go and retake Bulawayo to re-gift.

Kaitzilla have you selected a vote yet. Peace or assigning TH to us and then voting against it are both fine I think.

I voted to end the war against us ya. The upload is still not working, so I am attaching the game here so one of you guys can upload it. I need a drink!

I simply cannot get over that both Hamma and Cyrus declared war on Shaka and steamrolled GhostTown like that. We could not have possibly won T166 no matter what we did.

This is the latest Real Game Save.
