I got some time to play tomorrow due to some sick leave if you want a release sd.

Sounds good - just let me know when you will be playing. I had some time to burn myself, so I'm able to play a lot this week. I think our time-zones are beneficial to us both playing.

If we go TAJ - that rules out UN.

Thoughts?

Germany and Arabia are now "Friendly". .............so we're in no danger now of a DOW.

UPDATE

Bismark Declared on Saladin!

Taj is artist and un is merchant maybe you where thinking about Eiffel and Un? When Eiffel is close to finished we will know if conquest is a failure or not.
Bismarck going for sal is the best thing that could happen for us! Let's go and conquest the world. Let's see who gets weaker and attack the other. Or attack Bismarck first if it's a draw.
I can play in about ~16 hours. I'll write got it here first and wait a hour to see if there's some input.

SittinDown · Sep 23, 2020

Right - my mistake.

I agree Bismark going for Saladin is a huge boost. I'm playing now. Will soon land our cannons in Peter's land, and he'll be done, then we can choose the best enemy to attack in the Saladin / Bismark war.

Should be able to sweep in a surprise attack a major city pretty easily.

I had head to Nationalism + Nationhood + Taj, then finish up Sci Method.

Sounds good - that'll be ~ 5 am for me, so no need to wait, you can just start at that time. I'll be playing for the next ~5-7 hours today, and then I'll be online in ~24 hours.

Good, tag team approach is smart.

SittinDown · Sep 23, 2020

Bismark is asking us if we want to DOW Arabia. Should we?

SittinDown · Sep 23, 2020

....I was hoping to back-stab Germany, but Arabia is probably just as good. We have our army poised to strike. If we're smart and want UN, we can probably get Sitting Bull to be the #2 player, who everyone hates and votes for us.

Zhary · Sep 23, 2020

I guess we don't have the army at a 1 turn landing? If it's 3-4 turns before the stack can attack a major city I would say no. But if the army is perfect positioned, why not start with Sal. His land looks a little bit better so I would expect him to be the major treat of them 2.

SittinDown · Sep 23, 2020

The army is not in position. Needs a few turns.

SittinDown · Sep 23, 2020

Gonna say 'no', then finish up two more of Peter's in ~3 turns, then Saladin (or Bismark).

Bismark has the bigger army, and if we kill of Saladin, Bismark will get very strong, so we'll have to pounce Bismark's main cities quick.

SittinDown · Sep 23, 2020

Ok - Peter has 1 city left - on a 1-tile island.

Bismark is winning the war against Arabia, and can research steel. If we don't attack him soon, I anticipate he'll roll over Saladin.

SittinDown · Sep 23, 2020

UPDATE:

I just uploaded the save. I'll give you guys an hour to take a look. I'm gonna take a break for a bit anyway.

Probably going to trade Louis 330 gold for liberalism. Going to DOW Bismarck soon, and aim for destroying Berlin on turn 2. (Get rid of the Chicken Pizza early). This war should start in about 5 turns once the galleons are in place with the units.

Going to start on the Taj. Probably safer to do the Taj in Tolossa, and have Isca just make units if we war with Bismarck.

Spoiler turn log :

Zhary · Sep 23, 2020

Looks good to me. Go ahead and play and I continue tomorrow.

SittinDown · Sep 23, 2020

ugh. OCC - conquest is really tough. Saladin is already re-colonizing Russia.

SittinDown · Sep 23, 2020

we have the army now to beat up Germany. But this is gonna be a long slow pathway to victory.

SittinDown · Sep 23, 2020

Update:

Scientific Method is in.
Ironworks is built.
Revolted into Nationhood and Free Market.
Taj is under construction.
Peter was isolated on an island by himself, so I made peace with him rather than throwing a bunch of highly upgraded muskets at him without amphibious. We can get him later.
- Started to get War Weariness in Prophet.
Army is 1-2 turns from ready to invade Germany or Arabia.
SittinBull is starting to grow in strength.
We got lots of Oil if we want it.

I was originally going to go after Biology now. But I'm debating Replaceable Parts -> Steam instead. I was hoping someone would tech it for us and we could trade, but MAN are they guys teching slow.

Military Situation:

2 Frigates, 1 Caravel, 3 Galleons in striking distance of Germany.
- 6 cannons
- 3 junk land units.
1 Frigate, 2 galleons that are 2 turns from Germany
- 1 Cannon
- 5 elite musketeers. (That I opted not to suicide against Peter's last city).
Several (~5) upgraded units on the coast in former Russia ready to board for wave-2.
1 Galleon that is within striking distance of Germany, and 1-2 turns from our main fleet.
- 2 Cannons
- Super-Medic Chariot

Germans have a lot of catapults and mustkets waiting in Berlin.
The other cities are pretty lightly defended.
I'm not sure if it's best to go straight for the capital, or if it's better to pick off the smaller cities with poor defense first.
