Spoiler citizen moves :

Probably not a lot of point in micromanaging too much this turn (except for food), but…

Citizen in Black Hole from mined grass to flood plains – the knight will be easy to complete in 1 with our GA, so we might as well get some extra income.
Citizen in Gorin from irrigated grass to mountain.
Citizen in Olympia from irrigated grass to mountain.
Citizen in Dadia Refuge from irrigated grass to jungle.
Abdera hires a scientist.
Citizen in Tha She Blows from fruit to plains.
Scientist hired in Olympus Camp.
Scientist hired in Deep Vault.
Citizen in Tarkingrad from coast to irrigated plains.
Filiatra changes irrigated grasses so scientist in Manifest Destiny can be fired.
Shadow Mt. and Mpanana exchange fruit for irrigated grass.
Move a bunch more citizens in corrupt towns around.

Result – fire a scientist in Northern Easel because with all the coal, we can get that town to 2 spt, and fire the scientist in Old Lagoon.

All taxmen changed back to scientists.

Spoiler citizen moves :

I’m not even going to try to tell you guys what changed – I went through our towns so many times adjusting and readjusting... these next few turns are going to be hell… then it will start all over when we mobilize.

If I couldn’t complete a knight/trebuchet in 2-3 turns, then I aimed for cavalry/cannon. Many towns are on temporary starvation diets as I went all out to complete projects, but I will railroad some irrigation or adjust some tiles before we lose any population.

To make it up to you, here is some news from F11 as I replaced them:

Rivals –

Manufactured Goods: 166 and 205
GNP: 776 and 964
Productivity: 783 and 945

Domestic Matters:

We are running 20% science, 0% luxury. We have 2,879 gold and are running at +487 gpt.

We have ? beakers invested toward researching Military Tradition (General_W could you please check this?) - due in 3 at 283 bpt.

I’m not seeing a lot of great opportunities to shave turns here – many of our core towns are at 20 spt, and I don’t think I can get them to 27 spt without mobilizing (or at least there is no way to finish their current build any earlier). Mainly I worked on getting a few extra shields in towns that are vulnerable to the end of WLTKD, and then I just worked from the core out without accomplishing anything specific. If anyone sees opportunities that I missed, please let me know.

Once we mobilize, everything will be redone.

I did not upgrade Bellerophon (our elite) because I thought your decision was not to upgrade him yet. If I misunderstood, then we can upgrade next turn.

I completely forgot to put MDI on our luxuries. I remembered before I closed, but I had already hit space on all the MDI so I could no longer move them – I unfortified a couple hoplites (unfortunately, there were no fortified MDI) and fortified one on each of our luxuries instead. Sorry! Note this was done after all pictures were taken.

The reporting here (and particularly in the turn 167 thread) are so far above and beyond the call of duty – it's amazing.

I do believe that participating with you in playing turn 167 via the forums will go down as my favorite moment in playing Civ3 ever. Period.

Thanks for your hard work to involve all of us and keep us informed!

I do believe that participating with you in playing turn 167 via the forums will go down as my favorite moment in playing Civ3 ever. Period.

I second that.

I think the turn 167 thread will go down as the most exciting read of this whole MTDG.

Thanks for a very exciting evening last night!

 

[Chamnix]

I’m glad I could “share the fun” with you guys. It’s unfortunate that time zone differences prevented everyone from being there, but I hope everyone got the flavor from the report. I am also very grateful we played the turn that way because the people who were available came up with some very good comments and suggestions for things that I probably would have missed on my own.

Team members of KISS may have all been friends before the MTDG, but from what I gather from other team’s forums, I think MIA has done the best job operating as a team instead of as just a group of individuals, and hopefully it will carry us to victory.

Swampland riots – Let them demonstrate for all I care!

Change Athens from cavalry to colosseum.

Spoiler Unit Moves :

First, wake up MDI Helenus and attack the Gallic Sword next to Eureka Stronghold before I forget. Not a scratch on our MDI before the cowardly Gallic Sword “Boy Scout” flees for his life.

Next, move our 2 caravels north to see what we are dealing with. After moving 2 tiles north, the Trusty Guppy sees a KISS boat (regular galley) 2 west. The boat’s name is the SS Arrowhead (Transport Galley).

Continuing north – Apefish has a fortified 4/4 cav on top; Dionysus is unguarded.

On the east coast, the Snarling Narwhal sees a similarly situated veteran galley (3 NE of the Snarling Narwhal’s starting point) with no name.

Nincompoopicity is defended by a fortified 4/4 pikeman.

CV Zephyrus NW-N to check out Dresden – it is unguarded! Capture Dresden and liberate 11 gold.

Move 6 workers to railroad W of Swampland.
Move 6 workers to railroad the tile N of that tile.
Move 6 workers to railroad the tile N of that one.

Find a ¼ cavalry on the rail network to scout – Gilfach is unguarded! Capture it liberating 17 gold.

Move 6 workers to railroad the tile W of the previous end point.
Find another ¼ cavalry on the rail network – SKWTD is unguarded! Capture it liberating 17 gold.

Before I forget, CV Ocyrhoe checks out Polecat – unfortunately, it is defended by a 4/4 unfortified pike. He can’t attack, but I’m not sure anyone else can reach Polecat. He can capture a cannon, but I’ll leave him with 1 movement point for now.

I know Dionysus is unguarded, and we can reach it now, so a ¼ cav walks in and liberates 12 gold and provides a source of wine for us.

We can now see that Stoogeville is empty, so a ¼ cav walks in and adds another 12 gold to our treasury.

We can reach the undefended Paradise Hotel, so we walk in and help ourselves to 12 more gold.

I send a ¼ cav into the blackness in the NW – he discovers the undefended size 12 city of Knucklehead and claims it for the greater MIA empire (along with 18 gold).

Extend the railroad W-NW-N all the way to Gilfach. We’ve run out of ¼ cavalry on the rail network, so I use 2/4 to take the undefended towns of Frozen Lake (18 gold), Devil’s Soul (18 gold), and Jesterton (19 gold).

Shooting fish in a barrel…

Railroad 2 more tiles to connect through SKWTD and…



Railroad 2 more tiles east of SKWTD so we can reach Polecat. CV Ocyrhoes uses his last movement point to capture the cannon next to Polecat and fires it at the pikeman – misses.

2/4 cavalry walks up to Ignoramus, but it is defended by a 4/4 musket, so he doesn’t attack. Instead find healthy units.

4/4 cavalry vs. 4/4 musket -> 4/4 musket, ¼ cavalry.
4/4 cavalry vs. 4/4 musket -> 3/5 cavalry, musket dead.

We capture Ignoramus and liberate 20 gold.

I don’t see any more 2/4 cavalry, so I go to ¾ - a ¾ cavalry walks into the undefended town of Crackhead and liberates 20 gold.

Go to the previous railroad end point and extend another tile north. A ¾ cavalry walks into Notthefullshilling and liberates 20 gold.

Go back to the end point before the last northern extension and extend SE. ¾ cavalry walks into Idiote and liberates 21 gold.

That’s all for the easy towns – 3 towns to go, and they are all defended. CV Persephone is not on the rail network, but he can reach Nincompoopicity.

Battle of Nincompoopicity

4/4 cavalry vs. 4/4 pikeman -> 4/4 pikeman, ¼ cavalry

He was the only healthy cav who could reach without a railroad, so I railroad E-N of Swampland.

4/4 cavalry vs. 4/4 pikeman ->1/4 cavalry, pikeman dead.

We capture Nincompoopicity and 14 gold.

Road the tile S of Wilde Side to attack Apefish.

4/4 cav vs. 4/4 cav -> MIA cav 2/4, KISS cav dead.

We capture Apefish and 14 gold.

Remaining on our rail network:

8 4/4 cavalry
1 ¾ cavalry
2 3/5 cavalry
1 5/5 knight
14 hoplites
3 MDI

Effing Whomping Rower is still KISS-owned. There are at least 6 KISS units outside EWR (pikeman on the mountain next to EWR, longbow and musket east and west of EWR, musket N of SKWTD, and 3 MDI in the Polecat area. They also have an awful lot of workers (at least 20) that I would love to enslave before KISS can disband them. We can grab some with hoplites and MDI, but many require cavalry. I guess I’ll go after EWR first, and then grab as many workers as I can, but I really love slaves.

For continuation, see turn 168 thread - looks like I forgot to copy it all.

Science down to 50% (we have 89 scientists right now!).

Spoiler citizen moves :

Start a settler in Simpleton and change all citizens to scientists.
Set Ignoramus to settler, hire a scientist, and sell its barracks. Keep the marketplace and the granary (for now).
Jesterton set to settler, hire scientists, sell barracks. Keep market, harbor, granary, and courthouse (for now).
EWR set to settler, sell barracks, hire scientists.
SKWTD builds settler.
Polecat starts settler, sell barracks.
Notthefullshilling sells barracks.
Change Look Here from cavalry to university.
Rush a settler from Senilityville for 116 gold and hire a scientist.
Rush a settler from Psaria Pylos for 80 gold.
Frozen Lake starts settler.
Woodridge changed from cannon to settler.
Sell barracks and build settler in Gilfach.
Ditto in Idiote.
Also in Knucklehead and Crackhead.
Hire an entertainer in Agrili to get back WLTDK.
Rush a settler from Dismal Swamp for 76 gold.
Rush a settler from Miletus for 76 gold.
Rush a settler from Deep Vault for 56 gold.
Hire a scientist in Sunshine Spa.
Hire 3 scientists in Swampland.
Rush a settler in Northern Easel for 48 gold (I think).
Rush a settler in Gathering Storm for 100 gold.
Citizen in Athens from coast to mined plains.
Parga gets a scientist.
Monkey Fodder gets a scientist.

Obviously our towns could use a total overhaul now – I rushed settlers where I thought it was clearly appropriate and changed some builds that were due to complete next turn, but things that won’t complete for a while, I mostly left alone.

Domestic Matters:

We are running 50% science, 0% luxury. We have 2,317 gold and are running at +250 gpt.

We have 1,834 beakers invested toward researching Nationalism - due in 2 at 885 bpt.


We have 72(!) towns:

Spoiler Unit Moves :

Tried to be more careful with the railroading.

Athens – needs +1 spt starting in 4 turns; nothing right now.
Black Hole – needs +3 spt within a couple turns.
Heron – needs +3 spt within a couple turns.
Virtuoso – needs +2 spt in about 8 turns.
EMP City – needs +2 spt in about 8 turns.
Meleagerville – needs +2 spt quickly. Since Meleagerville is our proposed Theory of Evolution town, I’m going to prioritize this. Meleagerville takes the iron hill from Tarkingrad in exchange for a mined grass. Also takes a BG from Heron and 1 from Aliakmon Stronghold in exchange for regular grass. Now we need just 1 more spt within a couple turns to complete a factory in 7.
The Two Rivers can use +2 spt.
Antville needs +4 spt to shave a turn off the factory – I’ll have to mine the irrigation.
Ephebe +2 spt this turn gets a courthouse in 1.
Aliakmon Stronghold needs +2 spt to shave a turn.
Ditto for Ephebe.
Tarkingrad needs +3 spt – probably requires some mining.
Ceasaria needs +2 spt to shave a turn.
Hindus River needs +2 spt – looks very difficult to get.
Rhodes – one extra spt needed – needs a mine.

Found town of River of Success on A-5, start worker.
Found town of MIA Study Abroad on A-3, start worker.

Spoiler Unit Moves :

Battle at Eureka Stockade:

3/3 cavalry vs. 4/4 pikeman -> 1/3 cavalry, pikeman dead.

RRs needed:

Athens – cow within 4 turns.
Virtuoso – 1 more shield within 7 turns.
Look Here – 1 more shield ASAP.
Antville – 2 more shields soon.
Ephebe – 1 more shield ASAP.
Phoenopolis – 1 more shield within 3 turns.
Parga – 1 more food this turn.

Tiles railroaded:

2 near Look Here, and 1 irrigated tile mined.
2 near Antville, and 1 irrigated tile mined.
1 near Ephebe although in retrospect that may not help once we lose our silks.
1 near Parga.
1 near Ithaca.

Found Northport on A-9.
Found Victory Vista on B-2.

Railroad tile S of Donsig’s Factory.

Settler moved to B-4 but can’t settle this turn.

Finish railroading tile N of Gbno1fan’s Fortress.

Found Iron Will on B-6.

Railroad W of Iron Will.

Found Far West Port on B-7.

Railroad South of Chamnix’s Hold.

Found MIA Grand Forest on B-3.
Found MIA Fur Company 1 SW of B-8 (moved only because there was a road there, so we could found there this turn – on B-8, we would have had to wait until next turn).

That looks like all the necessary railroading – from here I will work on food. The most efficient way should be irrigating already railed tiles (+2 food for 4 worker turns), so I do as much as I can before I run out of workers.

Science up to 60%.

Spoiler citizen moves :

I think I’m done with large-scale starvation. We seem to have flip risks under control, so I would rather keep the population for rushing settlers. I will only starve towns that would riot otherwise.

Chamnix’s Hold gets 4 scientists and runs at +1 fpt.
