SGOTM 15 - Kakumeika

[mabraham]

In my experience, the fort will allow CR promotions to work, not nullify them.

Yes, I think Tachy has the wrong end of this. I tried in my original post to point out that the fort is a two-edged sword, as it enables both city attack and defence promotions to work.

 

[mabraham]

A soonish Trireme from PigGems could scout Hammu's SoD and wreck havoc in his fishing grounds, distract him to build Galleys (perhaps kill a Galley for enough war success to end the war early?) and move further across the equator to meet northern AIs (if not also blocked by peaks). Not sure how quickly he can build up an invasion force.

Nice - that's a good way to generate a wounded trireme for us.

Fort are far away. If ever the SoD comes earlier than any established fort or even math online, the defense on forest means their CR promos are useless.

People here sure are peacemongers ...my idea was simply opportunistic. Get the city if he doesn't whip (it happens sometimes) or making peace right away. Probably the city doesn't worth that much, especially knowing giving it back breaks all culture pressure we had onto him (thx Dan). Anyways, war is hard to put into numbers and something looking inefficient can come efficient in long term. But looking nobody agrees, I give up the idea, but peace with Toku as fast as possible should be high priority if we still want Hammuragawa as future voters for us.

Yes, I think Tachy has the wrong end of this. I tried in my original post to point out that the fort is a two-edged sword, as it enables both city attack and defence promotions to work.

No, I wasn't even thinking of forts and I precised it. Defending on that forest which is the only path to attack DeerGold has better defense than the city itself even with second border pop. Unless we plan to build a wall for the meager 10 %, we have that forest with all defense already set up. And unless DanF5771 has a special behaviour to share, I think Sun Tzu Wu's idea to defend on that forest is a great idea. And CR are nullified in the sense they become useless for an attacker attacking a unit on a forest plot without fort.

Only healing process is the downside of that tactic, but I don't expect waves of stacks like immortal/deity; we're on emperor.

Yes, I look like I do not understand the situation quite often, I admit , but when you mentioned those CR promos, then the idea came up of using that forest for even better reasons.

Unless someone has something very convincing, I do not retract yet defending on that forest. As you said, his SoD isn't ready, therefore we have time to prepare on that plot.

Okay, I am trying to recapitulate because it may something I forgot to take into account. We're not going for archers in short term and perhaps not in long term and it is the only units with special defense for cities and forts. Like its inherent 50% for city defense and CG promos.
Axes are our primary defenders and it can't get access to any city/fort promos. Then I don't understand why people wants to defend in the city more than the forest tile. Healing rate is one of few downside.

 

[Sun Tzu Wu]

I agree with shulec's idea of building a Trireme in PigsGems. After a Pig Pasture and another Grassland Hill Mine is completed and the city grows, it will be able to organically build a Trireme quite quickly. We may also want to hasten it with a 1Pop whip or forest chop, if possible.

I'd also like to send a pillaging/exploring stack through both enemies' Culture to pillage and find other Civs past their Culture. 2-3 Axemen in a stack should suffice, assuming they can stick to a forest/hill (either or) route. I'm thinking the goal will be 90% exploring and 10% pillaging (something juicy like a Copper Mine; nothing small).Contact with and location of other Civs is the goal.

defense point for Hammuragawa
I agree we should try to defend in the forest near DeerGold if possible. (This means we have to send axes up soon that way.
trireme
I like the idea of a trireme in PigsGems but I'm worried that it will get there late. So I definitely think we are chopping and/or whipping the trireme out.
pillaging/exploring
The pillaging/exploring stack will not get through Toku's lands (since by legal fog gazing we have determined that his capital is on a hill between mountains blocking access to lands east of him)

Sending unpromoted axes (even Combat I) axes into Toku's lands is likely a death sentence for them. He will make shock axes and attack our pillaging/exploring stack opportunistically.

I think the advantage of pillaging/exploring is low and the risk is high.

peace
Once we have catapults I'm all for war if we see a clear advantage. I just don't see the advantage of attempting to capture cities with no siege weapons against superior units (at least their promotions and leader traits make them superior).

[WastinTime]

trireme? We don't even have fishing...much less sailing.

Defend deergold on forest = yes

I still want to consider attack on Osaka and others

 

[bcool]

ah yes good point about fishing and sailing...

 

[mabraham]

Peacemonger! I'm all for beating up AIs, but I'm more for focussing on speeding up the VC.

 

[WastinTime]

I can't think of anything faster at speeding up the VC. Capture and gift back city... or liberate is actually the really good option. We should do the same to that new, lightly defended city by the wheat. Our targets are all non-hill. They will go down easily.

When we get an axe up north we can scout towards the wheat city and see what's defending. Maybe we can sneak past and squat on a forest to slow down reinforcements and/or scout the SOD.

Off the top of my head, protective fortified bowmen are going to need about 3 axes each and any shock/fortified axes at least 2 axes. Similar goes for Toku, but his archers aren't anti-melee and will have culture defence in (at least) Osaka. Unless we manage to catch them with their pants down, a 100 settler for a peace-gift city 2S of wheat or 2N of sheep sounds more efficient to me than multiple axes at 32 a pop. It's particularly painful if we start to mass axes for an offensive, then scout a defensive buildup and have to abort

Notes:

Turn 71 went 100% according to plan (SheepTown is now Safe provided we reinforce it with two Axemen on t72 and t73).

No city will be banking hammers into The Pyramids in the rest of this turn set.

Research:

00% to build Treasury that may be needed to upgrade more Warriors to Axemen. This is now more for setting up binary research and yes maintaining a minimum balance of 80W is probably a good idea while we are still at war with not quite an adequate defense.
t74: Res 100% Fishing -> Sailing. Sailing should be complete around t78, assuming we allow the treasury to approach 0.

Final Notes:

Please let me know the changes you would like. I'd like to play the first 2t ASAP, since that second turn will tell us how much more of a pain Tokugawa's stack will be and how many Axeman we will lose in his attack and our counter-attack.

[DanF5771]

Sorry about the Trireme/Sailing confusion. I was about to write something regarding techs, when RL pulled me away from the keyboard.

We might very well get Sailing (or Writing) from Toku in a peace deal. There is an interesting section of code in CvTeamAI::AI_endWarVal() for games with AggAI on, that divides the EndWarValue by 3 for the player with the lower number of 'endangered' cities. City danger requires the presence of hostile units (also Barbs!) within the 5x5 square around a city, i.e. if we move an Axe to the Sheep, we'll put Osaka 'in danger'. There is more strange looking code (irrespective of AggAI) for potentially beneficial scaling of the EndWarValue depending on the kind of war Toku started (total or limited). In case he went for the total war, we might even get some bigger techs.

The problem with early peace and early Sailing for the Trireme is Toku's rather high RefuseToTalkWarThreshold = 10. Since he started the war and thus doubled the initial RefuseDuration up to 20 turns, the reduction for better war success will only bring it down to about 15 turns. Toku's DoW was T68, that means he will probably not talk to us until ~T83.
T83 is most likely too late to start production of a Trireme that is meant to scout Hammu's SoD.

Hmmm... I can't pass a clear opinion re tech choice yet. Perhaps a quick Fishing for a Work Boat scout, then resume Writing->Math for Pyramids-chops and Sailing/Alpha(?) later in peace deal?

 

[DanF5771]

Fifth Element has a 860 AD save, I'm not familiar with the usual procedure -- will there be some kind of announcement when a team finishes the game?

I believe this game will go >1000 AD, the double-DoW set us and most likely the other teams back. Therefore we should value mid- and long-term World Wonders higher, especially Mids and Great Library.
I wonder if building Barracks in Delhi is that rewarding, we don't want continuous streams of military from our capital. I'd like to focus on Mids and AP there instead, I'd also like to choose a different city to build the Settler for the 6th city.

So current & mid term goals are imho:

• efficient defense benefitting from culture and fortification -> good war success ratios to enable us to squeeze out good techs in peace deals
• scouting by WB/Trireme and later Spies
• building the mentioned wonders to get upper hand in relation to seemingly boxed in neighbors
• getting up new coastal cities without hurry (iirc AI doesn't put Settlers on Galleys during war)

 

[Manco Capac]

No. Guesses are the only mean to know. For instance, in the past SGOTM, Phoenix Rising wasn't updating their game for awhile; from this we guessed that was the ending save.

 

[mabraham]

No. Guesses are the only mean to know. For instance, in the past SGOTM, Phoenix Rising wasn't updating their game for awhile; from this we guessed that was the ending save.

Indeed. Also, the last save uploaded is not shown if the game is complete, so you have a nominally open-ended estimate of when they completed.

 

[DanF5771]

okay, thanks Tachy & mabraham.

 

[mabraham]

I think the PPP is good. I like the existing axemen and granary plans, and prefer a barracks only in DeerGold so we can have Delhi focus on Pyramids and then AP.

Hmmm... I can't pass a clear opinion re tech choice yet. Perhaps a quick Fishing for a Work Boat scout, then resume Writing->Math for Pyramids-chops and Sailing/Alpha(?) later in peace deal?

There's no need to rush fishing unless we are then going to rush the workboat. If PigGems still has an axe and a granary to build, it seems we won't be rushing a workboat. So aiming at Maths first seems to make the most sense to me.

Yeah I like this general approach. Conquering Gawas doesn't do much towards setting us up for a possible pathological endgame that requires Astro and an amphibious invasion to create Hindu cities to gift back.

 

[Sun Tzu Wu]

I will incorporate PPP feedback from DanF5771 and mabraham ASAP. However, I'm sure that prioritizing Mathematics over Sailing is not a good choice. In my opinion, our Research should be one of the following paths:

Fishing -> Sailing -> Writing -> Mathematics

Fishing -> Writing -> Sailing -> Mathematics

Writing -> Fishing -> Sailing -> Mathematics

The latter is probably best, since we can build Libraries in Cities with Gold/Gems Mines plus a minor operation of Opening Borders with subsequently contacted Civs. We will need Fishing for our cities with Crab and Fish in their BFC. Our strategy requires damaged Triremes and we need to build them soon while we are still at War with Hammuragawa and Tokugawa and thus Sailing must be completed soon. Mathematics can wait after Sailing.

Anyone else having other suggested changes please post them ASAP.

Thanks,

Sun Tzu Wu

 

[WastinTime]

Agree with writing first. It's a fast tech because of the huge multipliers we get from pre-reqs.
I suppose math can wait since we've chopped so much already.

Worker Eiffel has all new instructions.

This PPP incorporates suggested changes by DanF5771 and mabrahams with the exception of Research path; if the team really wants Writing -> Mathematics, I will put that in instead.
