I've played

1300AD - minor stuff

1305AD sink English ship, kill wayard cav

1310AD bomb Ravena down to size 2, Rome to size 4

1315AD sign Peace with Rome for Ravenna and Byzantium
Unfortunately England has 2 units beside an undefended Byzantium
Sign peace with England for 80G
Decrease research to get cash for airports

IBT - Massive riots everywhere - we need some happiness improvements!!

1320AD - fix things, transfer bombers to Viking front, rush airport in Ravenna
IBT - Japan and Vikings sign MPP

1325 - transfer units,

1330AD declare war on Vikings and bomb them. japan declares war on us
Buy incense from England for 3 luxes

1340AD desparetely need more cash - sell medicine to England and Rome
rush airport in Tarentum

1345AD - take Lutetia
IBT Japan lands Cavs near lutetia and a Samurai appears

1350 - Vikings will give up some cities for Peace. We should do this. They will
redeclare war when we attack the next japanese city


Edit: Our cities are about to riot. I forgot to check them on the save I uploaded.

Also note that the Bombers based in Atlanta can just hit the viking capital. We can keep it at size 1 and get them to give up size 1 cities.

 

[King Alexander]

Better hurry a library at Ravenna(especially) and Byzantium when we can.
We could accept the Viking cities, but, how would we defend them if Vikings redeclared? Maybe, raze them?

I'll probably download CivAssist, as we need to watch our land on the future to avoid Domination.

As Adrian said, watch out for hapiness issues, as some cities will riot next turn. I hope, we'll get to control more luxuries at some time.

 

[AdrianE]

Spices will be on line soon. That will help take care of our happiness issues.

We should take all the cities on any given island in a peace deal with the Vikings. Then we need 600 gold to rush an airport to hold it securely.

I use fighters to recon the Oceans and then bombers to sink any Viking boats I see. We can abandon any truely useless cities. However note that a few of them will be productive for us.

I have been building Riflemen more than Cavlary. We are close to tanks so cavs aren't so useful anymore.

 

[I. Larkin]

1) we can mobilize
2) we can disband bombers in the Cities where we want Airports.
3) we can trade better.
If Conehead will not reply today nerovats up.

 

[King Alexander]

Apart from the library at Ravenna, transfer a few Riflemen there: I bet, the japanese units are on their way to Ravenna(via Rome).

Sure, why not mobilize? We have to remember, however, that we cannot build libraries while in mobilization(and probably, some buildings will change automatically).

Well, we could disband some units to build an airport if needed, but our "home" island should keep building bombers, some fighters, and tanks.
I believe that we still need to continue building cavalries(at least, until we can build tanks): do NOT underestimate cavalries; they have 3 movement.

 

[AdrianE]

I have 2 rifles and 4 or 5 cavalry at Ravenna already. We will need a worker in Ravenna as well.

Maybe we should get Rome to join our war with Japan.

I really don't like the idea of disbanding units to rush airports. Cash is better.

We also have a lot of obsolete units. They should be upgraded or disbanded.

 

[I. Larkin]

1) Maybe we should get Rome to join our war with Japan.

2)I really don't like the idea of disbanding units to rush airports. Cash is better.

3) We also have a lot of obsolete units. They should be upgraded or disbanded.

1) Good idea. If Rome connected capital already trade lux. Since we broke MA already they will not go vs Japan. try to get RoP and go to Kioto.
2) But I don't like an idea to slow down research!!! we need tanks and AF asap. At mobilisation it is in our favor to build bombers to disband.
3) Yes. At mobilisation we will have many Cities that will close to build unit in 1 turn. To do that we may upgrade and/or disband absolete units.

 

[I. Larkin]

OK, game now come to the technical endspile and might looks not so interesting. Also it looks that we again did not win at this competition, but I'm not 100% sure. Lets try and finish them asap. Since English pay good gpt better to stay in peace with them. For future attack better to demand Malme at next war.
Nerovats up.

 

[I. Larkin]

Team, I don't understand whats going on. Are we going to finish this game? I will be away from 15 October, and probably for long time. If Nerovats needs skeep Ivan (me) up.
I will look at save now and send suggestions soon.

 

[AdrianE]

Ivan

no response from nerovats in the required time => you are up.

I could take some extra turnsets to speed things up if required.

Adrian

 

[I. Larkin]

OK, I am up. Technical question:
Vikings do not want to give up any strategicaly important Cities. What shall we do? :
Take small ones? Or continue war? Japan: Will we clean up Island or make Peace as well?
Romans: RoP vs Japan?
England: Trade Steel? They may Declare again...

 

[nerovats]

Sorry was buisy, I thought Conehead was before me?

 

[nerovats]

Take small viking cities, prefer to keep war on 1 front.
Trade steel to england and rome, we need gold.
Mobilization sounds good, need airport in ravenna first.

 

[I. Larkin]

Look at save.
We have MPP with Romans and they pay 24 gpt.
WW eats 49 gpt.
We may make peace for Oslo and calmar but will loose MPP reputation.
We may wait 1 turn but Japan will attack us and Drug romans to war.
Suggestions?
I am going to play 2-3 turns more.
Who 'd like to play next? Nerovats or King alex?

 

[King Alexander]

I'd like to play inside the weekend, since I'm a lot busy since some time. If I have time today(Saturday) and Ivan finishes his turns early enough, I could try to finish by afternoon-evening(my time).

Any suggestions-recommendations would help, before I start playing my turns.
