1970 AD Feeling generous towards our allies the Aztecs. Giving them a few techs, but not those leading towards the space program. Our strategy will be to head for a space race victory, and keep the babylonians busy at the same time. We extend the alliance with the aztecs against Babylon.
Massive battles taking place in the vicinity of Hamburg. Babylonian cavalries and infantry destroyed en masse. Bombardments continue of babylonian coastline, babylonians are deprived of a coal resource in the Northwest. Construction of fortresses initiated Northeast and Northwest of Hamburg to make the area a safe harbour for our forces, before launching another campaign to the north against the babylonians. This time, the campaign will be carefully conducted, with minimal german losses. Workers are to construct fortresses and railroads for our forces, while our artillery will pave the way for conquest of their cities.
We're running a cash deficit at about 100 gold, but its ok for the time being. We will catch up the deficit later, when the war is over and we switch government again.
1971 AD Long Term Plans : we will attempt to make a beach head to the north and far east of babylon, attacking them from several angles. This will require some planning, but could give us a much better position on their continent, without making war at India at the same time. I prefer peace with India for the time being.
1972 AD Babylonian city of Sippar has been destroyed. Our armies prepare to advance on the babylonian metropols to the northeast of Hamburg. So far no german casualties in Babylon.
1973 AD Babylon begins to send spearmen against our Panzers! -They're far from beaten, but it is a sign of weakness! Harbor has been rushed in Hamburg to allow our workers to build railroads where needed and facilitate our campaign. Attila founded northeast of Hamburg. Saltpeter ressource improvements destroyed in Northeast Babylon. Loaded transport sent on its journey from our west coast to east Babylon, escorted by 2 battleships. We will need more transports in this direction.
No time for more play this morning. We've got some interesting positions with many opportunities. We should be able to make an advance on Babylon playing a bit careful, while we pursue the space race.

I've grabbed the game, and will be working on it tonight.

In the early 1970s, the direct descendant of Smiley the first, instigator of the "First Instigator War" seizes power of the controlling Communist party. The junior Smiley is just as bloodthirsty as his great great great (etc) grandfather. He continues to throw troops into Babylonia, and diverts a transport of Panzers and infantry to Portsmouth, the last English outpost on the planet, declaring to rid the world of another thorn in its side. The conflict barely puts a sweat on the brows of the troops. At around this point, Smiley makes peace with Babylon, as reports from the front indicated that cavalry had disappeared because it was being replaced with Babylon's own Tank units. On the international front, India was starting to be warred upon by multiple nations, and Smiley chose to send two transports of troops, perhaps to grab some fine silks. Meanwhile, Smiley launched an invasion into Greece, our former allies. The invasion stalled, though, and only a navy presence is left. Domestically, a revolution began to sweep the nation. People denied the teachings of Communism, routing "The People's" representatives left and right. Smiley himself was slain when a massive hail of gunfire from high-grade machineguns and no less than three RPGs turned his private limousine into metal splinters in late 1981. Once again, the warlike Smiley had been done in.
OK, I think India's done for, so we should try for some of their territory. I think Greece is small enough to lick once we get out of Anarchy and our production base is back online (Switch to Democracy, by the way). We got two cities out of the Babylonian peace deal. We're a thousand points behind Babylon, putting us in second on the Histograph. I changed research to Fission, because I'm not so confident on the Space Race anymore. I currently project probable victory lying in Histograph or Diplomatic.

Don't let the game stagnate now, gentlemen. A victory may yet be in our grasps.

Sorry, but I cant play till the weekend
I have destroyed the greek.
I didn't build the U.N. yet, but there's a leader at Berlin just for that.
It's going to be hard to win this one. You'll have to put everyone against the Babylonians and make them like us (so they don't abstain).
I don't think there's enough time for us to build a spaceship (our research rate is too slow). That's why we're researching Computers.
Good Luck Morten.

Smashing! I knew we could take those blasted Grecians. I definitely think we should take on India next, if we aren't already or if they've been eliminated already.
Hm, the Historical log hasn't been updated in a while. Will you be updating it?

I wish I had time to do it, but since my classes at college started I don't. Sorry. If I find time I'll try to make a massive update.
About my last log, my pc died on me and I lost it. That's why I didn't post a turn by turn log.
The Russians destroyed almost all Indians cities. They will definitely die before the game ends, and we could be the ones who will do it.
This doesn't solve our problem, though. Everybody is furious at us, and we need their vote. We have 50 year of patronizing ahead of us. The only thing I can think of is make everybody declare war against Babylon, but nobody wants to do it.

We can always start with Trade Embargos. Work our way from there. Plus, we will probably have to give away any new technologies -- if we sell, then the foreigners won't increase their attitude.
Also, another cheap way to raise attitude would be to construct numerous workers in our cities (ones that would immediately make up the difference), move them to our capital, and give them freely to the other civs.
