The Rise of Russia

[Chimera1804]

The dot map probably should wait for IW to come in. As it is I think either E or NE of that southern cow (with the two pearls). I prefer the E spot as we get both the deer and fish but not as many land tiles...which is why the NE is also a viable option.

 

[grandad1982]

I like 2NE of the cow AKA 1NW of the fish as its moutainside and allows a city on the river still 1W of the deer.

 

[cripp7]

Got it! I thought I had all the mods installed, I'll double check. I just got in so I'll check the save tomorrow.

 

[grandad1982]

You need to load the game from the MODS option screen in the main menu for them to activate. Otherwise I'm stumped.

I like the E of cow to pick up pearls, NE would have to wait until a border pop or buy the pearls tile.

Ok, got the InfoAddict and I was loading from the Mods area

When we have a spare resourse we should sell it and buy a Settler. Try not to spend any of the acumilated gold till we have done this!

Talking of settlers I think we should come up with an official dot map so we are all singing from the same hymn sheet. Send one of the warriors to the sugar site so we can see what is going on there.

Can't sell yet, but as soon as we have enough gold I will. I'll play out through IW and then post.

Moscow wb > trieme (didn't notice the fish was netted, so wb starts


Ok, we have 1 source of iron by the sheep to the NE of Moscow

We can buy a settler to go there, then settle out the rest of the island once our other pearls are hooked up. a trieme would need to go in Novgorod for the barb galley that the Greek warrior is keeping busy.

 

[CenturionXX]

I got ripped on the new processor which was fake. I'll need to go, as I need to save up (again) to buy that new processor.

 

[grandad1982]

That sucks. In what way was the CPU a fake? If you've been defrauded then you hae a legal recourse to get your money back.

I had a look at the save and have come up with a little plan of action.

I'll switch the build in the capital to a worker then the Tri. I'll buy the settler for the iron spot. I'll settle in the desert N of the riversidehill. I'll probably stagnate our capitals growth for a bit as well so we get stronger production.

Tech will go Optics (lighthouse's are great for us here) then press on up to Construction as I see us expanding peacefully to start with ATM.

Lets hope that barb spear attacks our drill2 unit on the hill!

 

[cripp7]

Sounds like a plan Stan! Go forth and play away.

 

[CenturionXX]

No, it was the wrong kind, they misread what CPU it was, and I got the wrong one, I returned it, but it will be about a month till I get a new one, and have to pay an extra 50 bucks. So I need to stop with Civ V. I'll just play minecraft.

 

[cripp7]

Ouch, I hate that crap also. Granddad you still playing?

 

[grandad1982]

Yes sorry. I'll get it all up tomorrow!

 

[grandad1982]

Right off I have to say I took notes badley this set. I'm basically 4 turns missing but I'm going to put together a report that will hopefully make sense!

PFT

I rework some tiles in Moscow and buy a settler.

Spoiler :

1

St. Petersburg, Monument > Worker. We are short on workers and Moscow can't take all the strain on itself.

2

IBT, Hanging Gardens are BIAFAL.

Our drill2 warrior defeats the barb spear in one hit when it defends! Good work!

Spoiler :

Our WB encounters a barb ship so we run away!

3

We locate Englands borderes.

Spoiler :

Very close to the sugar and the bottleneck to our lands! I need to think about this.

4

We meet England.

Spoiler :

They have 4 cities already but then we will soon.


5?

.....This is were some confusion starts to creep in......

6

IBT Alex asks us to DOW on Liz. I politly say no.

Spoiler :

I've decided what to do about the sugar site. This is going to be smooth.

I buy the Pearls near Moscow and work boat them. I then sell the Pearls to Alex for 300 gold.

Spoiler :

Next turn I'll have enough cash to buy another settler. More on this later....

7

We get a Social Policy. I hadn't really noticed this would happen my set. i do something very naughty and select a Policy without consultation. Sorry.

I selected Legalism

Spoiler :

The reason for this is that we can go for Monarchy[?] next SP for the gold per citizen boost in our capital. This combined with the opener from Commerce is a great combo, esspecially considering the stong gold tiles we have in Moscow. Thats my reasoning at least.

Optics is in and we switch to Masonary.

We finally reach the Iron city site and found Rostov. A Monument is set.

Spoiler :

?8,9,10,11,?

Novogrod, WB > WB

.... and this is the later I mentioned earlyier.....

Possibly on turn 9 I finally remember to buy the settler! Smooth

I see an english settler heading towards the sugar site so I start to move some warriors in to ablocking configeration.

12

Masonay is in and we start Construction

Spoiler :

?13,14,15,16?

I'm pretty sure this was just hitting enter

17

Moscow, Tri > Warrior. We're weak and I don't want Liz getting any ideas after we settle so close to her.

Talking of which, Yaroslavl' is founded.

Spoiler :

I set a monument as the first build. I also brought a tile to deny it to Liz.

St. Petersburg, Worker > WB.

18

An unmet player denounces Greece.

19

Liz is pissed we settled so close to her and she drops by to let us know. I feed some honey in her ear and let her borrow a top to say sorry.

Spoiler :

I stop here as we are back on a multiple of 5

Got it! I'll take a look at the save, I a LOT on game reports too. Look over and I'm WTF??

 

[grandad1982]

Yeah. Its very easy to nit enter a few times and not even realise they were turns!

 

[grandad1982]

Can I say no more PoF or declerations for the time being?

Being Gahndis frined is bad as we what to war this game so he WILL denounce us. This will be a "yours friends found a reason to denounce you!" diplo negative and might start a denouncement cascade.

Greece willbe good allies to fight Liz with later. Longsword rush anyone?

[grandad1982]

Oh. Got it by the way.

Haven't had a chance to sit down and think about the game yet. Will post a little plan later.

 

[grandad1982]

Ok so after a quick look this is what I think.

Tech will go Calendar so we can get the sugar then Compass as I agree Harbours will be good for TR.

Moscow will go Lib > Swordsman.
St. Petersburg, Lib > Tri. Can evplore the coast to the west from here.
Sushi Horse, Mon > Krepost. Fast border pops are nice here for grabbing the fish and sheep fast. This will be an ok production city with all its tiles to work. Seaporst are looking god in at least 3 of our cities alreasdy!
Yaroslaval', WB (nice timing with the border pop by the way!) > Krepost (good production and a blocker city).

The rest I'll see what we need when we get there.

I'm going to save our happy resourses and buy a settler for the northern penisular after I take care of the barbs there. Time to consolidate and build for a possible Longsword rush....

wonder hwo the war with Greece and Liz will go? I guess Greece is going to be big and we'll have to war them at some point. Its a shame we are DoF with them. That will be a big diplo- with the AIs.

 

[grandad1982]

A big sorry for not playing yet! I promise to get the game up on tuesday.

Sorry
