Succession game # 3 - The claustrophic Indians

[Bchaeus Maximus]

Can one of you post some screen shots? I like reading the succession game stories at work and it'd be nice to see whats happening. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Thanks! Keep up the good game.

"Nanking can be improved for speed. Instead of 145 turns, I cut it down to 97. Switch production from Irrigated grassland to the mined grassland. I tried adding the hill, but it didn't help. 48 less turns is a lot! :enlighten"

Good point. Missed that but then only have 1 or 2 turns left when I logged off the game, so can't do much anyhow. Next player, keep note.

" I am glad you saw what I was up to with the irrigation."

Actually it took me awhile. Problem with succession games is keeps getting 'disoriented' when it's my turn ...

"Great news #1 in score, off the scale with Culture. Only "weakness" may be power vs. Persia. #1 in science. We may finish Sistine chappel before anyone else knows about it "

The Persians aren't on the same continent as us, no need to worry too much. Besides most of their 'power' is prob made up of obsolete units.

Suggestion - send our obsolete units (reg spearmen) to their island to wreck havoc, help our allies and keep them off balance. But we need to control the seas first. And get that New World.

Best take me out all together.

I'm really into the new Democracy game.....so don't have much time. Plus I have another Job interview tomorrow!

But it's been fun.

Up next - SkidiWili

Open slot available If interested let us know. India looks very strong this game. Japan, China, and Germany dead. Persia the only threat left.

I am downloading the patch as we speak. I suggest all succesion game players get the patch BEFORE moving, so that we are all on the same version.

[Knight-Dragon]

I am in the process of downloading even as I post. Aargh damn big file. Hopefully, it's worth the effort .....

 

[LKendter]

Up next - SkidiWili
At 48 hours - let me know what is going on.

 

[LKendter]

Skipped - SkidiWili 72 hours have passed. If you still want to play let me know, or I will change your status to dropped.

I will do my turn later tonight, and post it.


Anyone want to join this game? The # of players is getting to small.

760 AD - Check out the current trading. Nothing of interest to do.

820 AD - Babylon signs a peace treaty with Persia.

830 AD - Russia is out of the game, Persia kills them. We have built Sun Tzu's Art of War I take advantage and upgrade all phalanx to pikeman on the main island.

840 AD - Kolhapur is formed on a small island.

850 AD - I just optimized the forbidden palace production in Nanking to save a few turns.

860 AD - I actually fight Persia. Lose 1 galley for each side.

870 AD - I form a desert city of Jaipur. Lousy growth, but possible oil / saltpeter. Trying to set up for a culture flipping city.

880 AD - Rush build a temple in Japiur.

890 AD - WTH??? Zululand threatens us, and declares war?

900 AD - I attempt peace with Persia, but no way I will give him a thing. We may need to invade Persia soon.

920 AD - Peace with Persia. Hate to give him Engineering, but Bangalore would fall elsewise.

940 AD - Start reinforcing that island.

950 AD - We build the Sistine chappel. I started a colusseum in Delhi as we have a chance for 20000 point city. I am sending two luxuries to Persia for a few dollars, and some per turn money. This should keep him behind in the tech war.

Summary
Reinforce Bangalore island.

Scoobs e-mailed me, and signed up for this game

OK, will get at it in 12 hrs' time. Only 3 of us now? I think we think more ppl.

 

[LKendter]

I agree we need to UP the # of players.

I started a new thread to recruit.
Scoobs signed-up from that thread.
SkidiWili may still be #4.

I am searching to try and get another player.

 

[Knight-Dragon]

Ooi, Lee, wrong file! This is the file as at the end of my turn. :crazyeyes

Anyway, I can't be playing for 24 hrs now so if Scoobs or Skidiwilli can play in the meantime, pls do so.

 

[Hobbes]

Sign me up.

 

[donsig]

I would love to play if you still need people. I can play around midnight or around 8 am till noon - eastern US time.

 

[LKendter]

My bad - Here is the next file.

Up next - Hobbes if you can play today. Otherwise, we will wait for Knight-Draggon.

Hobbes and Donsig are now signed up, and along with the recent signup of Scoobs puts us back at a good # of players.

I will take one more signup if interested.

[LKendter]

DOOH. I just checked the turn order I had set. Make that, Scoobs if you can play tonight

Sorry for the confusion, to many players changed to quickly. However, this is a good thing. We have enough players to justify continueing the game.

This game will come down to beating Persia. However, I think we need Magnestism and a decent navy before we can try.

 

[Scoobs]

Just Dl'ed playing now.

 

[LKendter]

Scoobs, glad to hear it. Persia will eventually die. However, I would like to wait until his immortals aren't as usefull (we have rifleman).

I think we need navigation to attack.

Maximum of 20 turns. You are free to do less

 

[Scoobs]

Harder to keep track of per year stuff, so I'm just gonna give a summary of what went down.

Changed all our cities, but those very close to finishing a building to swordsmen and elephants (those on the main island anyway).
Pumped out some Galleys and, starting landing large amounts of troop on the Babylonian island west of us. All Babylonian cities on that island are gone now. Persia is now in our good graces (gracious), cost me chivalry . At least now they dont expect whats gonna happen next. The small Bab city to our north is gone also. The Zulus are no longer also. Persia is working on the Babs on thier main island, and the Babs should be nothing but a memory soon. Got Persia's territory map too.
Just us and Persia left. I have a huge army on the persian main island, and hopefully the next person can do some damage with it, still 6 or 8 units waiting to land on the northeast side of the island. The city building Leonardos is starving, but I say let em, doesnt effect production, and Delphi is build Copernicus' right now. I stopped building military on the main island, they are all now building improvements. We're still ahead in science, and Persia still does not have invention.
I didn't research Gunpowder yet. I founded a city on the old Bab island, in a better spot. We're in a good position to start killing persia, but it's going to be a long fight, they are well armed. Immortals everywhere, they are focusing on finishing Bab right now though.
Good luck next guy.
