SGOTM7 - Team CDZ

[Mistfit]

Pre-turn: Not much action will happen off island in my turns. I have a grand total of 2 Knights that can be moved. The others are all inside of Armies that will never leave the island because we will never have large enough transports. On the other hand that may be good as they will make fine defenders. one for the northern portion of the island and one for the south. Please remember all future armies will have to be left unfilled until they get across the water. Everything looks good except our economy which is pretty putrid. But I suppose after MT we can turn off science and just kill people.

There is nothing to sell and 10 resistors. I didn't abandon the city but you can pre-turn. It does have a 16% chance of flipping.

I have a settler over by the dyes I'd send him one South on top of them. We Maybe should stop making cannons and make Muskets for our new towns.

I've placed lots of trebs and workers around areas that have been having landings on them

We should start a harbor on the mainland to accept the dyes once the Harbor is done in New World 2

Narjan can be gotten back at any time.

Zulus send 1Crus, 4Impi, 3Longbows and 2 rifles to IiB!!!!
And they send 1Horse, 1Impi, 1 Longbow, 1 Rifle and 1 Warrior to Mecca.
Mecca riots!

820 AD (2) :
I almost never seen an AI landing that much units at once.
Abandon Mecca. Without rioting it might have been possible to hold it.
Bombard PersCav & Zulu units.
Sipahi wins against Pers Cav
VSip wins vs ZuluRifle with promotion
Other Zulu units on other continent are destroyed.
eSword loses vs 2/4 Indian Pike
Army wins vs Indian MI
Warrior wins vs 1/4 Indian Pike and gets promoted.
Army from there moves closer to the Zulu SoD.
Full strength army moves to IiB while spear and Warrior move to ATFL (only Impis can go there directly)

IT:
Zulu stack almost destroys our army.
But the last Rifel they didn't use to attack but moved him.
And they moved the last 2 Impis close to Meliville although they could have captured ATFL (there was only a 2/4 spear left)
Sipahi produced in Mistfitzia and Pike in Meliville.

830 AD (3)
We lose a Sipahi vs an Impi on a hill.
Next Sipahi kills Impi. Army kills 2 Impis.
Still Rifle left, since he is on a mountain I didn't want to attack him with a weakened army.

IT:

860 AD (6) :
eSip vs Immo wins -1hp
Send 4 Sip to the other continent

IT:
Vikings send 1 Rifle tzo Karabuk
New York has completed Shakespeare's

870 AD (7):
Bombard Rifle
eSip wins vs 1/4 Rifle

vSip wins vs 3/4Spear but that spear has brought us down to 2 hp
vSip wins vs 1/4 Musket

We capture Damascus!!!
We get Copernicus!!!!

Knight army wins vs 2 spears in Najran and we destroy it.

So we have finally destroyed our first enemy!!!

Bombarding the Zulu stack.
vSip wins vs 3/4 Rifle.
vSip wins vs 3/4 Rifle
vSip wins vs 2/4Rifle
3/5Sip wins vs vLongbow

So, Persia has 4 cities on that continent, so they have to be our next target.


Here I have accidentally hitten the restart button (only of the computer where I was doing the writeup, not the one where I was playing)

I was busy because the Zulu kept landing 4 units each turn and since once I was losing 3 Sipahis vs 2 rifles that were already bombarded down to 2hp and one to a Cav, I couldn't get on the Persians.

So, at 930 AD, I had built 2 habors to connect the continents and Physics was done, researching Magnetism.

Founded Cankiri on the southeast part of our continent.

IT (after 930 AD):
Zulu have Ironclads.
Vikings pillage once more our Saltpeter ressource.
No landings (first time since 880 AD)
2 Sips built.

940 AD (14):
Upgrade 2 galleys to Caravels.
Our Golden Age seems to be over.

IT:
MiTir riots because our Golden Age has ended.

950 AD (15):

Destroy Persian town of Sidon (which they had just founded close to where Mecca was)
Next one can go after the Persians but those landings with Rifles are very hard. Beware of the Zulus.
They seem to want NewWorld2 badly.
And I don't know what the Viking ships close to MiTir want.

 

[Mistfit]

Good Looking turns ynnek. Nicely done!

 

[AlanH]

Anything happening here? Nothing posted for a week!

 

[socralynnek]

Meli has taken the save but I don't know if he has already played.
So, nothing has happened here...
As you have already seen, we are only 3 from the beginning...Things have been slower lately.

 

[AlanH]

FYI: I'm about to post the sign-up thread for the next game, and I expect to start it on 1st August.

 

[socralynnek]

Does this mean we should finish it by then?
Or when will be the deadline for SGOTM7?
(I guess we can finish by then, at least I hope...)

 

[AlanH]

No, I'm not setting a deadline yet, just pointing out that there may be another game competing for your attention in a couple of weeks. CDZ is one of three teams who haven't yet completed this game, but are hopefully still playing.

This is where I will leave it. I leave the Leader to do with what you want with movement points.

Units are comming from everywhere. Use the Cannons wisely as they are our only savior right now. I've been considering moving the units south on to Persia but the dropp offs are to great.

With 2 armies on the new lands we should be able to go on the offensive. One for defence and one for the slaughter.

NOTE TO MODS:
I saved the game and walked away 1/2 through the turns to clear my head and get some whiskey. One extra reload here.

Good luck!

 

[socralynnek]

1080 AD : Mistfit has left me with the decision what to do with the leader.
Options: MilAc : Producing armies in our core towns will slow down the production of Sipahis, so I don't think so.
Pentagon: Increasing the size of armies won't help since if we get Galleons the transport cap. is only 4, but a full army would then need 5.
So, I create another army which I fill with just 2 units.
At least blitzing is very helpful.
