Team Python- Monarch Training!

Look at the link below if you want to know my battle plan, if you have your own and is pretty confident, then dont look. This is the homework and I want it done, even if CG posts his turns.

Homework: Draw a battle plan on how to go about the Arabian War.

Please get it done fast and try not to look at CG's turns if you haven't submitted it. Post the link of the pic, not the pic itself, it must have a link to the url. :)

Do not look if you didn't post your homework!
 
Concerning that worker in the pre-turn... well, I didn't notice it at that point, mainly because I didn't see the IBT where the horseman showed up in the first place. Moving the worker was really the responsibility of the person whose turn it was before mine; the pre-turn isn't for me to fiddle with...

Concerning HBR, we *still* don't have a horse route to our network, and likely won't for quite some time to come; at least until we get a road down to Choyb, which will be tricky on the face of it due to thick jungle and possible Russian incursion. By the time we get 'em, HBR would have been insanely cheap to trade for. Not a good investment, IMO.

Part of the reason I didn't attack the Arabs was due to the Russian advance; I dislike fighting a war on two fronts if I don't have to, and it's not like the Arabs were going anywhere. If I'd committed to an attack on them, and the Russians hadn't offered peace, we would have had to kiss those southern cities goodbye.

And yes, I *could* have taken that barb camp, at the risk of reducing Choyb's defense. I didn't feel that a 25 gold increase and possible promotion for a Warrior was worth the risk.

I kept an eye on our maximum army levels; I stand by my military build-up, as it was well within our budget, and Russia obviously didn't think much of our army when it declared war during CG's turn.

By the way... what does 'cut bark' (turn 8) mean? :)
 
Ive got the save

Ill upload it to my Laptop and do my 10 turns there :).

@amirsan - Ill also post up my report. I found out the reason I was not putting enough detail is thgat I was distracted from the game by the Chat room. The Laptop would provide an escape awa from the Chatroom :).
 
(Was gonna pester CG, but there's still some time left.)

I think we may want to consider the possibility that the Russians will attack while we're occupied with the Arabs, and the almost certainty that they're gonna plant several cities in the meantime. We may want to switch Karakorum back to settlers, and seriously beef up Tabriz' defense, maybe even with walls. We want to keep that city, even if we lose everything else down there.

The Emperor's Hand's Save

0 Preturn - First in this turn, I made sure we have adiquate troops in our army. We have plenty, 21 Swords in our inventory with more on the way. I then checked on the status with the Russian front. Now we are at peace with the Russians (I assume this was done before my turn) though my FA Baghdad Bob (Yes, I have made a graphic mod pack to make Mara Jade and Baghdad Bob appear in civ3 :p )

I have MMed Almarikh to have it create swords more faster. I also MMed Karakorum to generate more spt, Even though its bulding a temple. I then contacted the Arabs and told them that we decided to declare war against them. Then I possition the troops closer to the Arab cities. Ill report the troop totals later on afer they have been organised

1 - Ulaanbaatar has finished swords and continues to build swords. The Russians are building the Great library. A warrior-settler combi has poped out of Medina. I have sent the swords to attack the combi.

Vet Sword vs Reg Arab Warrior, Result: Arab Warrior killed and we captured 2 workers. The Health of the Sword has only droped 1 point.

2 - Karakorum has finished building the temple. I have switched it to swords to support the war effort. 1 Arab Warrior, 1 arab archer and 1 arab settler poped next to Kafal. Before making an assault on them, I decided that the city should have first priorty. The first sword was killed by a spear in the attempts to capture Kafal. Then I sent a next sword in, This time the Sword killed a new spear that has poped up to replace the 2/3 spear and was promoted to Vet. I thensent a third sword to mop upthe last remaining spear. Though the 3rd sword did not won and was killed. Finaly I sent a 4th spear into Kafal, This time the sword killed the spear and was promoted to vet status and captured the city, for the Queue, Ive paced in a spear. As the city was captured, I noticed a mass of spear-settler combi NE of Kafal. I then placed my attention to the arab units that I have mentioned earlyer. The Vet sword attacked the Arab Warrior. The Sword emerged victorious and was promoted to Elite. I then whent to attack the Archer. The Sword was injured by 1 hp but has managed to bump off the Archer and captured the settler. I have moved all captured workers away from the front, but not to far away so they wont be far from the captured cities. My next focus is Medina. The first attack with the sword was unsecessfull, the second attack with the Sword was, this time, suscessfull and killed the spear. But there is more, a new spear poped in to take the fallen spear's place.The Third attack with the Sword was Suscessfull, Though the Sword has suffered an injury of 2hp, his bravery promotedhim to elite status and captured Medina. Ihave Medina building spears.

3 - The arab spear-settler combi has been scared off, but is still within the LOS. Choybalsan has finished a warrior and continues to do so. Here are the Sword tally for the captured cities.
Kufah: 7
Medina: 8
One is out monetering the arab settlers. I went to Domestic to check on the science. I decided to lower Sci to 30% so that we can get more gpt. On the bright side, the turns still stays the same. I am keeping my eye on the Barb Horse that just poped in East of Erdenet.

4 - I wonder if the AI is realy stupid or cant make up its mind, I have noticed that that the settler-spear group returned back to where they were on turn2. This time it is accompanied by a Sword. Now I have the Stalking sword to head t there iron to pillage it. Kazan has built the Sword and will repeat the queue. On this turn I decided to intercept the settler combi to prevent themfrom expanding through our territory. The First Attack killed the Arab Spear andcaused our Sword to suffer a 2hp injury. The Second attack killed the Arab Warrior, I used the elite Sword and sadly we did not get a GL. The Elite suffered a 3hp Injury. The Third and final attack made the Sword an elite and captured 3 settlers. I tried to intercept an enemy sword using the Settler Stalker/Pillager, Sadly, the Sword was defeated. I have sent a group of 6 Swords to Baghdad.

5 - We have discovered the Code of Laws and proceding to research Philosophy. Karakorum and Almarikh has built a Sword and will continue to to build swords. Dalandzadgad has finished building the harbor and will build barracks.

6 - Ulaanbaatar has built the swords and will continue build the next sword. The Military Advisor told me that there is a massive Barbarian uprising near Erdenet. An Arab Spear hasmoved close to our Worker stack, I have sent 2 Vet Sword to take it out. The First Attack, the Spear Killed our Sword, the Second attack we killed the Arab Spear. Reenforcements are on there way. I have increaced the science rate to 50%.

7 - The Attack group has been ambushed by 2 Arab Spears. The First Battle we killed there sword, but the second attack, the arab Sword has killed our Sword. 16 Barbarian Horsemen has been spoted by Erdenet. The Battle of Baghdad has started. The First Attack, I used a Sword. The Result of this attack was that I killed the Arab spear while sufferung only 2hp. The Second Attack I used another Sword, the result was that I killed the Spear and suffering 3hp damage, but the Sword was promoted to Elite. I then Attacked a 3rd Sword to attack the Arab Sword. The Result was that our Sword was killed. I then attacked with a 4th Sword. The Result was that the 4th sword has killed the Sword, Captured Baghdad (I know, the Baghdad Bob on my Advisor Graphic Pack is celebrating ;) ), and was promoted to Vet status.

8 - A Barbarian Horse attack has killed the Warrior to the north. I am now being overwhelmed by Barbarian horses. Karakorum and Ta-tu has built a Sword and continues to build them. Darhan has built the Galley and is now building a Sword. The Vikings have built a Great Library in Trondheim. The Ottoman city of Istanbul has built the Great Wall. I have sent 5 Swords north of Kurah enroute to Damascus.

9 - The Overwhelmess of the Barbarians have killed 2 Warriors, one in the east and one in the south. Note to Amarsin: I wish to take an advanced course of Barbarian defense. Kazan has built the Sword and will continue to build them. Hovd has built the Granary, due to the Barbarian horse threat, I had to go and build spears. Erdenet has built a spear and will continue to build them to counter the Barbarian horse threat.

10 - The barbarians have killed the archer. I am being overwhelmed by these Barbarian Horsemen, I HATE BARBARIANS!!! We have discovered Philosophy and we are on our way to currancy. Karakprum has built the Swords and will continue to build them. The Arab Sword has killed our Elite Sword for the attack on Damascus. The Battle of Damascus has started. The First attack I used an elite sword to attack. The Result was that there was no GL created, but the sword suffered 2hp damage. The Second Attack followed when the Vet Sword has killed the Spear but suffered a 2hp Damage. The 3rd attack was a Sword vs Sword case, The Result of that battle was that thearab Sword was redlined while our attacking sword was killed. The 5th Attack resulted in one knock out blow to the Arab Redlined sword, Promoted to Elite, and Captured Damascus. Barbarian units are threating the Worker in Mapdalgovi, so I had to move it away, But I neglected that Horsemen can move 2 turns :cringe: and the worker is within striking distance of that threating Horse.

I hope the next player has a lucky RNG.

The Save

Looks like u took the advise, very bulky turns, good. Though do not be late again...

Sorry for being late :(. And please dont be harsh on me :(.
 
Given that Arabia is wholly contained, is much smaller than we are, and is completely unprepared for an attack I don't think there's many strategies that *wouldn't* succeed. Take the closest cities, then the next closest cities, and so on.

Could we just move things along, please? I'd like to improve the 'one turn per week' schedule we've been having.
 
PreTurn- Ok, I think I was the one that made peace if I am not wrong... Always check with what you are attacking, good on your view points ;). Ok, good MMing, you are on the right track! Funny, when I was starting Diety in an SG I sneaked attacked a nation without declaring war beforehand, it was my fault that they couldn't sign an RoP with anyone...

Turn 1- Good counter on the combo. Swords can be started again sinse we have started the war but remember dont build to many, we are at limit and we need to get Horsemen built in the future. Good victory and we dont have to worry about the Russians starting the GL. ;)

Turn 2- Yay, the temple finished! NP on starting swords sinse there is no equally valuble improvement to begin. Yes! Two cities captured by the wonderful General, CivGeneral! The people of Mongolia cheer as two more cities from the evil Arabians were captured! Many casualties, but what to do when all you have to attack is swordsmen... No problemo here.

Turn 3- Good you remembered to lower science. I see that you have split the forces just as I wanted. And Barbarians are being kept with a big eye. Good.

Turn 4- Ok, again, I cant say anything bad at your troop movement and attacks. Nothing wrong. Sowrdsmen queue is good for now, sinse we are at war. I hope it ends fast so we can become to get powerful with no pressure...

Turn 5- I take it we are going for Republic, I guess so, I would've gotten something like Currency going but sinse it started... I hope Daland has a granary before starting a barracks (I dont have the save open).

Turn 6- I thought we had that masive barbarians under control??? I dont get it... I hope two swords will take on a Raging Level Barbarian Stack :). Arrgh, more casualties, why? I guess its just the random number generator (Thank god for Conquests!). Increasement good if you thought it, though it would be good to know why u increased it.

Turn 7- Wow! :O I knew the barbarians mass was going to be big, I hope again that two swords will handle it. It seems that Arabians have swordsmen, they may have a couple more but probably not that much more sinse they would have brought it out to fight by now. Can I have a link to that bob thing, sounds interesting, lol. Captured Baghdad at enourmous costs, the people cry over the casualties... (Dont we feel like Bush)

Turn 8- How many turns is it taking for Karakorum to build swordsmen??? Galley has finished! Now for some fun! It is good that the Russians didn't finish the GL, better for us.

Turn 9- ... My name is Amirsan, not Amarsin, lol, thats a new version. Ok, advanced course in Barbarians will be worked on for the next homework, which the last ones werent posted in, which I am disapointed of... There is not much to Barbarians, you just have to kill them where they start before they get bigger, like nations without territory and technology. To prevent them from starting a new camp, we must take all the land in the Area, though we cannot do that now so the best we can do is try to get warriors out there so we can have a LOS on everything, they will not start a camp if we can see it. :)

Turn 10- I hate barbs to!!! I never play with them, though I pretty much know how to deal witth them now... OK we have discovered Philosphy and not started Republic, I dont get it, then why did we start Philosphy in the first place??? The "not moveing the worker" is just a careless mistake that must not happen again ;). Workers are very valuble toward this point of the game. Great capture at Damascus, very good. :). And yes, it is the RNG! :) I hope I do have a better one.
 
Ahem... actually I made peace with the Russians, if you'll recall. :) I'll note that we didn't need to declare war with the Arabs - no outside contact means no reputation hit - but it would've amounted to much the same thing.

Should we start using up some of our cash reserves by buying... things from the Russians? If the barb situation is that bad, we may get raided before much longer.
 
I guess I'm next. I haven't been very vocal lately due to time constraints, but I'll work on getting these turns done in short order. Likely not tonight, as we're doing an install at the office, and I'll be there for the next 4-6 hours, but they'll be done soon.
