Tentative Instructions

Location - action

Tartar Iron - Pillage Iron and move both Khan Axemen units to Golden Hill east of Berlin

Coppertown - Move Maceman to Pisae, rename Pisae Guard

Marseilles - Move Chariot to Pisae

Neapolis - Move chariot to Pisae

Cologne - Move Noyan First Maulers (MACEMEN) to forest tile north of Essen Iron, and fortify.

Cologne - Boyan Heavy Cavalry moves between the Golden Hill East of Berlin and Cologne, scouting for German forces, only attacking if odds are 80 % plus.

Battle of Stuttgart

Move Golden Battlewaggons from EA to Stuttgart, move Noyan First Stormers, Noyan Second Stormers and Boyan Heavy Cavalry up to Stuttgart and await for Noyan Amputators, also send the Golden Battlewaggons, since we intend to patrol the area around stuttgart.
Promote the Noyan Second Stormers with City Raider. Attack Stuttgart with city Raider first, then Noyan First Stormers, then Noyan Amputators (AXEMEN) and then Boyan Heavy Cavalry (KESHIK), worst case scenario, follow up with Golden Battlewaggons

RAZE STUTTGART

these units will heal, and then head for La Drang in that valley, assemble there, and

RAZE "LA DRANG" (Barbarian City)

COLOGNE-ESSEN

Rename Macemen "Noyan Bashers" to "Cologne Guard"

Move all catapults from Munich (rename 1 Gravelstoners, 2. Gravelstoners) and move these towards Essen (tile West). Wait for 3 turns and then send the following units from Cologne to Essen. Bombard defense bonus away with catapults as they arrive Essen.

First Siege Catapults
Khans Gatebreakers (Triple City Raider) - IMPORTANT, this one attacks first if odds are 80 % plus. this unit is a keeper.
1 Stormer Infantry
2 Stormer Infantry
3 Stormer Infantry
Noyan First Steppe Infantry (Axemen) from Iron north of Essen
Khans Surgeons (Keep in reserve to heal units after battle)

RAZE ESSEN

Following battle:

Move the Noyan Second Steppe Infantry (Axemen guarding Essen Iron) to the proposed site of Methos, and guard it so no German or Barbarian city springs up there.

Move all the units in razed Essen to Berlin. This way people get the right to vote for a continued German War after the peace has ended, or to consider a Roman War.

Golden Battlewaggons will occupy ruined Stuttgart, to avoid barb cities to spring up

Another surviving Axeman from Stuttgart will occupy La Drang until barb city is gone, or culture overlap arrives.

The remainder of the army, Boyan Heavy Cavalry and the last remaining axeman (not the one staying in La Drang), go all the way to Cologne. and stay there.
Stuttgart
La Drang
Essen
"Beyond"

 

[dutchfire]

Conquer Stuttgart, the Barbarian city and Essen.
Rename city #1 as "Xanadu"
Raze Stuttgart if it is captured
Raze Essen if it is captured



Also if you have reversable orders that can be done before the actual turnchat, like for example renaming units/cities, please post them earlier, and clearly marked so that I can do that before the TC starts.

 

[ordinaryguy]

Coppertown

Keep building units for the war requested by the DP and/or Warlord

Continue to let Coppertown grow

Chop jungle 1N of city square and build farm on it. Build watermill on grassland river tile 2E of city square.

Remove the merchant specialist to work either the newly build farm or watermill after it has been completed. Choice is up to DP's discretion.

City tiles are up to the DP's discretion.

Rheims

Complete Lighthouse, then build Confucian missionaries for other cities.

Cottage spam.

City tiles are up to the DP's discretion.

Marseilles

Complete Forge, then start lighthouse.

Cottage the 2 jungle grassland tiles 1Ne and 1SE of city square.

City tiles are up to the DP's discretion.

Pisae

Complete Courthouse, start a forge.

Hook up horses, windmill the 2 jungle hills 2N1E and 2S1E of city square.

City tiles are up to the DP's discretion.

 

[Provolution]

Unit naming?

There will only be new catapults, and they can be numbered by the series they are made in. I suggest Collateral Promotions for all of them, and now we name them "Gravelthrower 1+ and up" for the collateral promotion.

 

[mike6426]

Start with researching whatever wins here, if that finishes, research the runner-up. In the unlikely chance that both of those finish, I give researching powers to the DP to research at his discretion.

 

[Joe Harker]

Riversight, to build workers and knights

Xanadu, Neapolis, Cumae To finish current project, then it is up to the DP

Workers, improve land around Neapolis and Cumae, and Xanadu

 

[Provolution]

Friendly reminder.

The poll closed with 9-7 (10-7 including posted vote) for Vassalage and Mercantilism, to be enacted this turn (1470).

 

[Joe Harker]

Also assign the free specialists where you want them!

Got it...

And HE in Coppertown and FP in Munich.

 

[Provolution]

Yes, and Munich was quite a good location after all.

 

[DaveShack]

EA: Grocer, Bank. Free specialist as merchant or scientist, depending on whether we need gpt or beakers more.

Ainu: Market, Forge. Free specialist as citizen (only choice). Switch one citizen from lake to citizen specialist to shorten Market time. Stagnating growh is OK.

Cologne: Start a courthouse when it comes out of resistance. Connect roads and pasture on the cow if a worker is available.

Munich: Insert FP ahead of market, if the poll indicates it should be built here. Free specialist as engineer, MM to maximize hammers / minimize time spent on FP. Workers should build improvements which help with hammers or chop to improve FP.

Berlin: Courthouse, market. Free specialist as engineer.

The DP may optimize MM and specialist usage within the guidelines of emphasizing hammers where requested unless the economy demands otherwise.

And can we PLEASE get some missionaries out to the cities which don't have Confucianism? Perhaps Coppertown could crank out a few while waiting for HE to be available?

Instructions 1 hour before the turnchat starts. Printing them now

 

[ordinaryguy]

Remember the modified orders given in the Western Aimag office thread.

 

[dutchfire]

Remember the modified orders given in the Western Aimag office thread.

I've got them, but next time please post them in the TCIT thread too.

 

[Methos]

Bah, I was thinking you weren't playing until this afternoon (my time). Shouldn't it put it off so long....

 

[dutchfire]

Domestics
We have completed the Forbidden Palace and the Heroic Epic, we've researched Literature and we have adopted Vassalage cry and Mercantilism )). Our research is going pretty decently now. However we're now suffering from quite severe war-weariness and Julius decided to stop supplying us with fur. All cities are now confucianist

The German War
We've razed Essen, the Barbarian city, Stuttgart and Düsseldorf (a city the Germans settled 1N of Essens ruins. It didn't last long ). We lost a couple of units, including 2 axes in the assault on Stuttgart and a maceman in the assault of La Drang, but defeated more units. Because of the losses at Stuttgart, some macemen had to come from Essen to raze La Drang. It might now be time to make peace with the Germans (that's the reason I stopped) as they're offering Compass and their capital is quite heavily defended.


One big happy family?
Were you fearing one big happy family with Mansa, Gandhi and the likes on the other continent? Luckily, you were wrong. We have met a caravel from Montezuma. Looking at his power graph showed us that he had been fighting a war. And looking at his city list shows us a city called Osaka. So that's Toku and Monty on the other continent. Here's a screenie of the trade screen with Monty. He also has the Great Library and the Great Lighthouse, however the Great Library is not in his capital, so he might have captured it.

[Provolution]

Good work Dutchfire; this turn we really made some strides. About vassalage, since we now dominate a continent alone, we can afford to specialize even more. This means, we can "outspend" the other continent economically and militarily, like US did with Soviet in the 80s.
