What did you do to those poor Russians?
Carthage certainly is no match for us. However, we could have easily pciked France as our next victim. Oh well, I'm sure that Jack knows how to handle Hannibal

However, I can't get to this before Monday. If Krys or Grimjack have time to play before then, they're welcome to swap places with me and take it now.

I'm back home a little earlier than expected...seems like the roster has gone haywire! Never mind, I'm quite happy to play a very flexible formation if needs be....
Anyway, Grimjack has it and Jack Merchant will play next? Then Aggie, then Krys, then it would normally be Grimjack but he's been elevated in the order, so it comes to me?
Whatever, we'll work it out. Great going Meli on Russia

Did some MM to set up several cities, and get rid of a few workers.
Invasion is underway, and it would be up to next player how to proceed. ( Settle for peace, or stomp them good. )
1595AD, Doublechecking version: 1.14f
Checking out the lay of the land. We are researching Radio at minimum science. We have an almost obscene amount of cash. We are part of a dogpile on Carthage. The only close city of Cathage is Rusicade on an island north of us. It looks like this is also the only supply of iron for Carthage. We have five transports. Should be enough to flatten Rusicade. Unfortunately we do not have any settlers on hand. Try to plant a spy in Carthage, but fail.
Change Calcutta from library to settler. I assume we are using luxes to keep us in WLTKD mode in our cities, so I do not drop lux tax.
IBT:
1600AD Spend a couple of workers optimizing Oxford a bit, and get it to 120 spt net at size 15. This is enough for a while
Use old Porus for building an army. After having built an army out of Porus, we can now build the Pentagon. Starting it in one of our middling cities, due in 5. Join a few workers, and mine a few grass, and we now have Pentagon in 4.
Load up our transports, and sneak next to the coast, covered by our destroyer.
IBT: Carthage bombards our Destroyer. Koreans declare on us
. They sneak attack Nottingham with a Medieval infantry. Nottingham is a size 14 city defended by only a cavalry. Must have missed to reinforce. Luckily Nottingham holds even though battle starts by redlining our cav. arty:.
1605AD We sink the Carthage ironclad. Buy Flight from Joan for Electronics and 800 gold. We would want airports if we are going to invade the other continent.
IBT: Nada
1610: Siege of Rusicade starts as our advance guard reaches the outskirts. Infantry and artillery dig down for some serious shelling, and prepare advance positions for the main force arriving this turn. Collect newly built troops in Minsk, to lessen the chance of Culture flip in this city. Discover you need twice as many workers cleaning up pollution in mountain than you need to build a mine in said mountain. Found Lahore on an empty spot on our continent.
IBT: Notice someone traded Joan Coal, as she is building rails now. See a Korean Caravel approaching our coastline.
1615AD: Rusicade is redlined and bombed down to size 6 before I start to attack. Hmm, we only had a single elite unit in the monster stack. We liberate Rusicade and burn it down. Karachi is build on that island instead. Environmentalists rage as I chop down the last forest preserve in our empire.
IBT: Carthage offers straight peace. I decline. I see a french transport head off towards Carthage lands. Lets hope it is full of infantry. We complete the Pentagon.
1620AD: Lots of movement, Aiming invasion fleet at Hippo. Finally manage to land an agent in Carthage. They are in a Monarchy with 40 infantry and one artillery.
IBT:
1625AD Movement. Our spearhead approaches Carthaginian shores.
IBT: Zzzzz
1630: France has discovered Mass production. They want 5400 gold for it. Thats expensive. I try to steal safely for 3000 gold instead.
Joan is not pleased with this. She caught our spy. We land our invasion fleet next to Hippo. Hippo contains Smiths, and we would want to keep that, so it is starvation diet for Hippos citizens.
IBT: Nada, not even a counterattack.
1635: Hippo is defended by four infantry and is size 12. After artillery, we have three redlined infantry and one conscript infantry in a size 8 city. We lose a Cav, and discover that there also is a conscript infantry newly drafted. All hail the power of Artillery. Good thing we brought cavalry, because I strongly suspect the retreat ability of them made losses far less than otherwise.
Since Theveste is Carthages only supply of Rubber, I will aim at cutting them in half, driving straight across with a large force of artillery and Infantry.
IBT: No counterattack. Hippo tamed, and thus she goes into disorder. WIll make clowns and rush an airport next turn.
1640 Movement. Remember in last moment to put at least four infantry on top of our Artillerystack.
Start to build a new artillerystack in our home lands. Will be neede for when/if we go to war against french.
IBT: Watch three cavs kill themselves against the infantry army defending Hippo. Rush an airport in Hippo. Advance troops even more. Store troops in Minsk, just so I know where they are.
1645: Move troops into position. Use two artillery to redline a counterattacking infantry, so our cavalry can deal with him. Move settler to position so that we can settle an artillerycity. From inside this border, we ought to be able to bombard cities of Carthage easily.

On a point of information, Grimjack, if you try to plant a spy with a civ and it fails, you cannot succeed in landing a spy for the next few turns (normally 3 or 4 turns, I think).
