Takeo takes on Deity

[Takeo]

760AD

Research set to Electricity in 8 turns. Rheims is switched from palace to Universal Suffrage in 11 turns and all other cities that have at least 15 shields are changed to factory.

Woohoo!

There are no wonders being built by the AI, so no possible cascade! Will sell Industrialization without fear of losing out on Universal Suffrage. Unless someone comes up with a science leader.
Well, if that happens, then I'll just switch it to ToE.

Trade Industrialization to Babylon and Egypt-

Was very curious as to how I made it to Industrialization ahead of them, since they both had Steam Power a turn ahead of me. Previous trades for gpt, and having 7 of the luxuries, has allowed me to research at 100%. Let's see what Babylon and Egypt have science set to. Find the cheapest cities to investigate and-

Researching at 40% for Babylon and 30% for Egypt with most of the rest going to taxes. They are probably paying each other and me a bunch of gpt, and doing upgrading? Should have no problem researching to Scientific Method first, and no problem building ToE and Hoovers!

 

[Ansar]

Wow!Babylon is rich, now he will be poor like heck.

 

[Takeo]

770AD
America has switched to monarchy. War weariness must have been too much.


780AD
A factory and coal plant have been purchased in Orleans over the last 2 turns; and now a palace is being built in anticipation of Theory of Evolution.

America landed a brave swordsman to take on my cavalry.


790AD
The 'pillager' army has isolated Washington, at least temporarily. This army is slowly making its way toward some smaller, weaker cities. It is also striking down any workers it finds and is pillaging the entire way.

This is the route the army has taken so far-

800AD

There's one down the tubes!

To show my appreciation to the Zulu, they will be next!

 

[Ansar]

Wow, thats a first on somebody thanking the Zulu...they must have brainwashed you...

A great story this is turning out to be, keep them updates coming.

Long live The French!!! Kill that damn Shaka and his egotistic zulu citizens.

 

[Takeo]

Wow, thats a first on somebody thanking the Zulu...they must have brainwashed you..

That 'thank you' is just a smoke-screen covering up my cavalry armies.

 

[Ansar]

It also seems that nothing gets in the army's path.

 

[Takeo]

840AD

Research set to Scientific Method in 5 turns. Orleans should have over 600 shields by the time this comes in.

Paris now has a factory/coal plant and is building the Pentagon in 7 turns. This is to store shields for Hoovers!! Free hydro plants across the French Isle!!


Trade Electricity to Babylon and Egypt-

Needed Nationalism, so I could research Espionage later.
Now what would I do with a spy? hmmm...

Babylon now has Communism.


870AD

That should help a little with any future war-weariness. Babylon and Egypt have no wonders they can switch their build to. That's too bad!

 

[Own]

Wow, I've never seen an AI with that much GPT. Can you afford 100% science from all that now?

 

[Ansar]

Nice Trades, now its hoovers, can you show the F11 screen?

If you look at the 760AD post(don't know what post# it was), it shows both Babylon and Egypt at 60% taxes.
Also, during a trade I never take what they offer. I always increase the gpt untill the little person in the upper corner say "they would never accept such a deal" or something like that. Both Babylon and Egypt have over 40 cities, which should help quite a bit with the gold.
I have been at 100% science for a while now and making a lot of gold besides.

Oh by the way, nice new avatar.

I always do that too, and even on deity the most gpt I can get out of them is 100

Do you play on standard or huge maps?

 

[Own]

That must be the difference then, I play standard.

 

[Takeo]

Nice Trades, now its hoovers, can you show the F11 screen?

Here is the F11 screen-

Income and expenditures-

Army totals-

And the lower half of army totals-

 

[Ansar]

Top 5 Cities?Enemy Cores?

When are you gonna and some more? Cavalry armies are still dominant over rifles.

I think he is just cleaning up dirty american roads and water spills(irrigation).

Thanks! Never really bothered with it before. Now that I know it is so easy to do, I'll change it up once in a while.
