Preturn: No major adjustements necessary, just switched Frankfurt to coal plant.
IT: Dogpile on Liz. Persia, France and the Arabs.
I already mentioned our ongoing deal with the English, 12 turns remaining.
760: Berlin:
We get Communism (turned out to be the ideal research target)
Berlin: hospital -> coal plant
Frankfurt: coal plant:-> hospital
Nuremberg completes IW
-> aqueduct
Stuttgart: worker -> worker
Bonn: harbour -> courthouse
I sell Communism to the Arabs for our 7th lux, dyes and all their cash (not much)
Also sell it to Russia for worker and a few gold.
France just got Steel, but they don't want to sell it.
So we just steal it
Unfortunately, Persia and the Arabs have nothing to offer for Refining or Steel.
The only possibility is England. It is a hard decision. If we sell Stell for her
gpt, she might not be able to rush enough units to defend herself.
I go for the deal; Steel for 120 gpt and some cash, maybe not the best decision.
She also wants our 2nd Iron, but if she doesn't survive 20 turns our reputation
will be ruined, so I don't sell it.
We are at tech parity with leader France and England and up Refining and Steel to both
Arabs and Persians. Russia is way behind and won't survive long (down to 5 small cities).
The Arabs are also behind Corporation.
770: A lot of worker assignements. Our Income is 326 gpt (a plus of +54 from other civs)
The English already lost Norwich to the French.
IT: Russia and England sign a MPP. Russia declares war on Persia.
780: Munich: Hospital -> Coal plant
Bremen: worker -> worker
I buy a few English workers, we can use them and Liz can use the cash.
IT: The French attack Warrwick, but lose two cavs.
790: I sell the Corporation to the backward Arabs for only 12 gpt and and all their
cash. Better to get some gold than let the broke Persians make the deal.
800: Berlin: coal plant -> Stock
Leipzig: factory: hospital, a little late but I wanted to complete the factory
Hamburg: hospital -> rax
Nuremberg: aqueduct -> marketplace
Hannover: bank -> rax
We want to build some vet troops soon.
The Persians extort Refining, I give in.
The Persians also complete Suffrage.
IT: The Arabs lose a cav at Warwick
Until now, the French have taken Dover, Nottingham and Reading.
The Persians Liverpool, Coventry, Newcastle and Hastings.
810: Konigsberg: Factory -> Police station (medium corrupted)
Heidelburg: factory -> Bank
Frankfurt: Coal plant -> Stock Ex. (our first! ToE prebuild)
If Electricity doesn't show up in time, I will build the Stock and start another prebuild
in Munich. This way, we will have 'alternate' prebuilds every few turns.
Hamburg builds rax and starts on Rifles to build up our army
(Infantry upgrade may come soon).
Heidelburg: Factory -> bank
820: Arabia and Russia sign a peace treaty. The Arabs capture Warwick
and the English want a MPP
The English are down to 3 core cities.
France got Combustion. Since she is at war with both Russia and England, I steal it
Persia still has nothing for Steel and Arabia nothing to offer for Refining or Steel.
830: Hannover finishes rax, -> Rifles
Munich: Coal plant -> Stock Ex. (2nd Toe prebuild)
840: Berlin: Stock -> Intelligence Agency (the 3rd ToE prebuild)
Nuremberg: Marketplace -> granary (needs also a rax to build troops)
After the granary finishes in 2 turns, we can max food.
France has a worker for sale.
For the first time, Persia has gpt availabe for Steel, but only 27.
I leave it for T-Hawk to decide if we wait, but there is the possibility that
he extorts it with a peace treaty from England or buys it from France.
Because I didn't know if France is already researching Electricity, we actually have
3 ToE prebuild-possibilities (Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich). All three could finish their
current project if it takes longer to get Sci.M.
I'm sure T-Hawk gets the meaning (The 3 cities have a different amounts of shields in the box
and could be set to a palace (or the IA in the case of Berlin) at the right time.
France should get the next tech in 1-2 turns, so we could set Frankfurt,
where the Stock.Ex. will be completed next turn, to our main prebuild.
Our income is 513 gpt (a deal expired), so I believe that we will have no problems on the tech front.
We could, for example, rush the aqueduct in Bremen.
All these troops in our northern lands are heading for Brighton, bets how long
the English will survive are taken (hopefully 4 more turns, then our lux deal ends).
Good luck, Belisar
The SAVE:
SAVE
. No scratch that they don't have it. Because we do they get to ask. Never realized that before. Berlin builds worker starts rifle. Leipzig builds worker starts Library to maybe get some culture there. Munich builds barracks starts rifle. Nothing new on the tech front.
