Succession LK 14 - Russia, anybody plays.

[Dazz]

yes still here, took a bit longer as the turns take ages at this stage

heres a summary

Prelude:
Set Heidleberg to Solar Plant as preparation to swap to UN when Fission finishes in 5 turns

1848 Persian Calvary attacks Mech Infantry and dies
-Several Research Labs started
-Bonn set to Aquaduct to allow growth
-Captured Ergili
-France and Persia sign Peace Treaty

1850 Total Culture 55168
-rushed a few hospitals and aquaducts for growth and to get down to 1000 gold
-captured Sardis

1852 Total Culture 55728 increase of 560pt Culture win by 1974 probably earlier
-wiping out an annoying Persian Cavalry gave a GL which I’ve just learnt cant be airlifted
-a large convoy of modern armour park themselves outside Tyre
-dropped research a point – Fission still 2 turns away

1854 Brave Mech Inf in Ergili on 1hp defended against 4 calvary
-Take Tyre
-Too many workers running around so added a few to productive cities with room to grow

1856 Fission discovered – went for Stealth in 5 turns
-Swap Heidleberg to UN – 13 turns away
-Palace expanded
-Rushed a few temples in captured Persian cities


1858 Take Antioch
theres a lot of unhappy people in these Persian towns – someones been drafting


1860 make Peace with the Persians as unhappiness was starting require too many entertainers and cripple income – got some gold and Besancon


1862 sold all Solar Plants as Hoover Dam gives all cities Hydro Plants - makes no diff to production and saves maint
-added more workers to productive cities as pollution is now under control

1864 rushed a few more aquaducts

1866 Stealth discovered – Space Flight in 5
moved GL to Kiev to await Apollo

1868 bit of Global warming although no pollution on our patch

1870-74 various worker movements and buildings

1876 Space Flight discovered – Superconductors in 4
UN Finished – election declined

1878 Persia attacks France, MPP forces us to declare war on Persia
Persia retake Besancon by surprise
GL sacrifices life to build Apollo and several spaceship parts started

have left it at the beginning of the turn before any unit mvmts as I've run out of time

at the stage of choosing a victory and finishing it off
enough firepower to win by either dom or conq
space build started and no opposition anywhere near
culture victory will happen in about 50-60 turns anyway unless someone sells lots of culture buildings

cheers

[meldor]

figure I can get in one last turn before Lee finishes it off......

 

[LKendter]

Well I was going to take it ....

I wanted to try for the cultural.
The only victory type I haven't gotten is 100,000 culture.

 

[meldor]

Lee, go ahead and take it.....I thought it would be closer if you took it after me.....As it turns out the wife has plans for me.....if you want it go ahead, post got it and I will go after you. Otherwise I will play in about 5 hours.

Write-up really doesn't matter - Game is won.
Peace with Persia by death of Persia.
Space ship launched in 1914 AD.

Interesting watching the replay - That annoying English city of York almost had to be a free settler. It also shows what a rough start Russia had. Look at our cities in the BC time frame.
The game winner - the fp in former England, and all of those new cities.

We could have won by domination also, with taking out the Aztecs.

Summary - Score = 2444
History will remember you as Catherine the Conqueror.
