OK, I pressed the button and it took some time but,
We have achieved a Cultural Victory!
here's the log:
1380 AD (Turn 0): Culture 92822, gain last turn 2182
Gather Explorers together so I can find them quickly (37 plus one in the Viking Sector
Attack Vikings capturing Goteburg, Linkoping and Uppsala for 1 loss, but no leader and we have 3 resistors in Goteburg and Linkoping to deal with, the Viking capitol is Qitaimjorg.
Settle American Sector Settler on the spot dont want to waste a turn moving; Settle other Settler in Tundra area may be able to chop for first 10 shields of the Temple and it wont grow in time for pop rushing wherever its put so set citizen as taxman.
Draft Infantry (30 of them) and gather together near the Explorers so I can find them all.
While doing this; workers irrigate and rail to maximise growth in 1 (with mm) for maximum growth where it will aid rushes in the next 2 turns. Cities that cannot grow and their build cant be rushed are set to Wealth and their citizens set to taxmen to pay for the upkeep of all this new culture.
This leaves 2 Explorers that cant complete a rush this turn so Ill save them for next in the N
Some cities still do not have culture yet these are the ones that will grow to allow pop-rushing. The 2 new towns have Temples rushed.
Only 4 Settlers are built/rushed culture in these new towns will have to be rushed anyway
Stop for the night.
Defeat Viking Militia (no leader) redline Viking Frigate; make peace, only getting 4 gold and map.
Route through from Babylon is blocked by a Bab Infantry on our rail so block route from Babylon (in Bab territory) by the Viking sector with 2 Workers to try and ensure we can get draftees through next turn.
Total Rushes:
19 Temples
5 Libraries
17 Cathedrals
6 Coliseums
1 University
Finally press button.
IBT: Babylon destroys the Americans; Bab Infantry clears route to Viking Sector; French clear route to Dave McWorgborg; We lose a source of coal; 2 of our drafting cities riot; starvation in Bizen and Linkoping
1385 AD (Turn 1): Culture 95131, gain last turn 2309 (+127)
As a result of the rioting well have 2 less infantry this turn they had been about to riot last turn but the draft reduced the pop and everyone was content, as they grew this turn the next citizen must have been unhappy so Civ saw it as 2 turns in a row and they rioted Ill have to remember this for next turn.
Start rushes:
Resistance has ended in Bizen but it has starved so have to rush the Temple with disbands anyway.
Grrr some of the cities I mmd to grow in 1 at size 6 didnt have aqueducts! Rush Explorers in some for culture next turn, other disband Explorers in for culture this turn, which depends on shields required.
Finding the cities takes ages as theyre no longer in the same order as my list; rush down to the size 3 cities
Found 3 new cities and rush Temple with chops, mis move final Settler onto unroaded tile itll have to build next turn.
Start size 3 cities and forget to change from an Explorer when disbanding an Infantry 22 shields wasted! That following the Settler mis-move (and difficulty focussing on the monitor at all come to that) convinces me to stop for the night
Next day and I work my way through the remaining cities; rushing and disbanding to rush a total of:
12 Temples
12 Libraries
22 Cathedrals
16 Coliseums
1 University
IBT: French run about and a Destroyer is spotted near New Mohacs; Vikings, Babs and English also run about, but nothing significant; nothing riots.
1390 AD (Turn 2): Culture 97602, gain last turn 2471 (+162)
More rushing, the size 7 cities need to rush their Coliseums, drafting and disbanding Explorers/Workers if that give more net shields before rushing; Rushing started in earnest, using population were possible then disbands. Find more than expected; but run out of time (and brain cells)
Continue next day and still finding more rushes; Markets sold in size 7 cities to allow a market short rush to a Coliseum where needed; exceed the 200 mark in expected gain before the brain cells yet again give out.
Another day and more rushes to eventually bring the total to:
7 Temples
16 Libraries
36 Cathedrals
53 Coliseums
(I think)
IBT: Vikings, English, Carthage, French and Babs all do their running about the Babs moving through the American sector are very worrying at first! Then we build stuff. Sometime later.....
1395 AD (Turn 3): Culture 100353, gain last turn 2751 (+280). We are Brennus the Magnificent
Final save before I pressed the button is attached in case you want to view the replay;
warning it takes some time, not necessarily for the replay but to complete all the builds!
