STR-07: Chief of the World

[stuge]

I can play after fox.

Geez, in less than 6 hrs and I am UP again? That must be a record turnaround time.

Do DP gain you diplo bonus? I didn't think so. i think we will be need some DoW to gain more diplo points if Civs are starting to move to free religion.

I am pretty sure a DP will gain diplo bonus with civ that you sign with but also incurs a penalty with enemies of that civ.

 

[Strauss]

A DP definitely gives a diplomatic bonus (+1/+2), but it does take some time for it to take effect, similar to Open Borders and resource deals.

 

[GreyFox]

Well, so time to try to get our ex-friend to be friends again. First, let see if DP will do the trick:

Quite fortunate that he is willing to sign one despite being only Pleased. Charle, on the other hand, wouldn't. But for him, we have another trick up our sleeves:

Nothing else to do but wait. But, no harm trying ....

We need to get both Sally and Charle back to friendly. Only one wouldn't do. Might be worthwhile to give Gilgamesh or Hannibal techs like biology to help them grow though.

Williem remains our opponent, albeit only by a dangerously narrow 5 votes margin. Fortunately, peace returns,

so he will probably stay as opponent.

Well, didn't know the apostolic is still valid. Better for us, as we gain "+2 vote for us" points temporarily.

I set us to grow, whatever little extra votes we can get is better than nothing. Medicine is about to complete, and I started a religious building to get 2 more hammers. We may also consider building the nat. park as our last Nat wonder.

>>> The Save (1900AD) <<<​

I'll play Saturday evening. Tips on greasing our way to victory are appreciated before then.

 

[GreyFox]

There's really nothing much we can do except to wait for DP or favorite civics bonus to slowly accumulate. If any of the potential friends asked for gifts, agree. Otherwise, no point volunteering gifts to them since we have maxed out the "trade relations" bonus.

I would consider building the nat park to allow us to grow more, but that depends on how much green faces the hospital can remove. The idea is for us to grow more to gain one or two votes more.

Also consider giving techs like biology to Hanny and Gilgamesh to encourage them to grow.

 

[stuge]

I pressed enter and got this:

So there.

 

[Mighty Dwaarf]

Stuge, absolutely faultless last turnset
Well played guys, with combination of sound play and luck we managed to pull this one out of the bag. God knows how we would have done if the religions spread around more evenly.

 

[GreyFox]

Sorry ... had no idea we have already push Sally and Charle to the verge of voting us but not yet-friendly. Else I would have completed it instead of passing the save.

Yeah, pretty lucky with the religion spread and the nearby AIs' fav civics spread. Great job, guys!

 

[Strauss]

We do seem to be getting lucky a lot: good starting position in STR-05, passive 'Agressive AI' in STR-06 and now a pretty much perfect religion spread. Nonetheless, to the team for a good game.

 

[Pvblivs]

Well done, guys. I'd have never said that Strauss would be capable of an overall peaceful game. Amazing you did it
