TGOMTG Conquest Class Challenge (C3C)

[Methos]

I'm back.

I'd prefer to have won this with Space but it just doesn 't seem possible anymore. I definitely need to work on my warmongering so I guess it's conquest time.

Hmm, I wonder how we could have stayed with space? Stayed away from the wars more? Maybe?

Roster check

namliaM - up
Methos - on deck

Seems the consensus is for conquest. So let's go get the Babylonians first, then Persia, the Korea.

No need to end any wars, just fight on till the end.

'Fraid I blew it on the space shot. Couldn't find a way to keep these guys from hammering on each other. With everybody Fascist and no money for science the tech pace just goes way way down.

 

[namliaM]

Kewl, more babylon head on a stick....

Goal: No more red on the map before turn 10!

 

[namliaM]

OK looks like my goal is easy LOL... No more red...
Find out quick that Cav vs Inf is not good... Verry bad indeed...
Even with the Inf on 1 hp... Bad bad bad

So I take the army and create a cav army, Yeah that works much better

1798 Persia and babylone sign Peace... I got a lot and do mean a lotttttt of polution. and eventually put the workers on auto cleanup.
I hope thats ok.
1802 Persia and Korea sign Peace
1804 Korea and Ottoman sign Peace....

Nothing much happenes but that... Have some reinforcements going to Korea (including an army), that Korean town is almost down to 6 for no more defensive bonus.
Then attack using the army.

I have been building up on Artillary. Many (about 30! or so) should finish soon!
Then we can clober down on them Rednecks real good
Another army will be done in 3 turns.

The world is once again AT PEACE! Tho all are in Fascism still...

Oh no more red lemmings

 

[Methos]

... and eventually put the workers on auto cleanup.
I hope thats ok.

Out of curiosity, does the computer put enough workers on the polluted tile to get it clean on that same turn?

I got it.

So it's finish off the Babs, okay. I won't be able to play until tomorrow night at the earliest.

 

[soul_warrior]

Death to the Heathens!!!!
dont know about popution clean ups.
i prefer using a stack of workers (all but one put to sleep) and waking on call.
seems safer to me....
but dont mind me.
its the talking

 

[Bede]

Couple problems with auto clean up is you have to go back to the city and reassign the citizenry manually anyway and the game gives no indication when the workers are done, you will have workers cleaning the goo from volcanoes, and no they don't usually assign enough to do it one turn, I think the Governor program looks at the food needed then assigns just enough workers to keep the city from starving.

 

[namliaM]

One turn I got like 10 polutions... It went haywire when all the coal things finished...

It indeed doesnt 'normaly' assign enough to clean in 1 turn but we have enoug workers to clean up 20 polution in 1 turn LOL.

Methos: With the 30 odd Arti that are about to finish and the 2 cav armies... You shouldnt have a problem killing off babs. Also not there may be (or probably) are some (actually more than some) arties on auto bombard on cities...

Greetz & GL on Babs.

 

[Methos]

I'm only on turn 1 but I may have already made a mistake. I didn't realize how much of a force we had enroute to Korea and so I signed peace with them. My intent on this was so I could focus everything on Babylon and then Persia. After I signed peace I noticed the massive force heading towards Korean shores.

My question is, should I just toss what little rep we have and redeclare on Korea? Now that I have taken a better look at things it looks like we may have Korea backing up. I hate to let them build themselves back up again.

I realize my mistake and want to clear things with everyone here before I do anything. Sorry guys. I missed the units in transport.

 

[Bede]

Reputation, what reputation?

Let 'em catch their breath for a few turns and you get everything nicely organized in the empty space over there, maybe build a town or two, then go right ahead and do whatever you think is right.

 

[namliaM]

Reputation, what reputation?

Conquest... KILL KILL KILL

Nothing much happenes but that... Have some reinforcements going to Korea (including an army), that Korean town is almost down to 6 for no more defensive bonus.
Then attack using the army.

I did note it properly ?! Didnt I?

And as far as reinforcements go.. An empty army 10 or so Arti and simular Inf. Not that big a reinforcement I think.

Now the 30 or so Arti about to be finished now that are reinforcements!

If you use them on a bab town you get every defender in the red and kill a few citizens to lower defence value...

 

[Methos]

I did note it properly ?! Didnt I?

Yeah, you did. I apparently wasn’t paying very good attention. My mistake.

Pre-Turn: Attempt to wake all workers so their not on autopilot anymore. Hope I got them all. Fix cities that are shrinking.
IT: We lose seven workers that for some reason we’re right next to Babylon’s border. Must have been the auto-ones.

1812 AD: Raze Taejon. So we can focus on our own continent I sign peace with Korea and gain 220 gold. Realize after the fact that was a mistake. Whoops!
1814 AD: We take Shuruppak.
1816 AD IT: Babs want to talk. I turn them away.
1818 AD: Ottomans: We get Flight; we give World Map and 3,982 gold
1820 AD: Uruk captured.
1822 AD: Ottomans: We get Atomic Theory; we give World Map and 3,679 gold
1824 AD: Larsa captured. Crap! I was expected this to be the death of Babylon. They must have a settler on one of their ships. I bombard every ship they have that I see (4@1 hp, 2@2 hp, 1@3 hp).

Notes:
-I’ve traded around for everyone’s maps and Babylon does not have a city anywhere. Therefore they must have a settler out there somewhere.
-Currently there are 112 units on Korea’s western border. There is an empty army located in that stack somewhere. There are also a few slaves.
-There are units scattered throughout our empire, so the next player may want to pick them up and start up another transport force.

We’re we supposed to only play 5 turns? Either way, I stopped here as we have a large enough force to invade Korea, again. Figured I’d let someone else start it rather than pick up with me leaving it in the middle.

Here's the save.

 

[soul_warrior]

ok. i see a feeding frenzy in my near future.
RL is biting hard, so it might take a while...
will get it in my 48hrs.

plan? kill, kill, kill?

 

[Bede]

Go for broke SW!

With 112 troops and another army Korea should just play possum on you.

Where is X-man in all this? Or is he gone from the stage?

 

[Methos]

I left Persia alone. I was hoping to finish off Babylon with that last city and than start on Persia. Unfortunately Babylon must have a settler on a ship somewhere. They don't have any cities left. I made sure of that.

 

[Bede]

If there is still land open on the other continent odds are Hammi will end up over there, unless there are some empty spots on on the home island.

 

[soul_warrior]

i guess ill just have to make room for hammy to settle on. Xman beware - were coming

 

[namliaM]
