TSK 01 - Eastern Uproar

[Nick014]

I played the turns. Because not much happened aside from military buildup, I'm going to write this report in the format of number of units produced per turn.

1: 2 Horses
2:X
3: 2 Horses
4: 1 horse
5: 2 Horses
IT: peace between Egypt and the Ottomans
6: 1 Horse
IT: Monarchy from Egypt and the Ottomans
7: 2 Horses
8: 2 Horses
9: 2 Horses
10: 1 Horse

Total number produced: 15 Horses

India got monotheism on my last turn, but the Ottomans got Feudalism as their free tech, meaning that we're going to either buy it from India for Feudalism, Monarchy, and about 500 gold or wait until someone else gets it. Personally, I'm in favor of buying it since we're raking in over 100 gold per turn and it will make the tech cheaper for the AI, meaning that we'll get Chivary sooner.

TSK1-570AD

So, Is it my turn now? I can play tomorrow (Friday) in the afternoon/evening if thats cool with everyone.

Any suggestions before turn.

 

[Tsukemono5]

Defend our choke from India and Ottomans, bring the to Egypt, and pray for Chivalry.

 

[OneFastWarrior]

reading back, someone had said to wait for monotheism to pop, this may come real soon as India already has it, then research at max to chivalry, however won't this hurt our chances to upgrade all our horses. Then go to war after upgrades to Samurai?

 

[Tsukemono5]

That is our other plan. But as I said, I would fight an infantry war with Egypt until Chivalry, then upgrade to Samurai, declare on India, and rip them to shreds . Depends on how you feel about warmongering. If you're good, then try a risky but possibly high-yield plan. If not, then Samurai into Egypt then send them around to India. The best plan might be to keep a detachment of horses (20 or so) by India but send the rest to Egypt. Then when Chiv comes in, take out Egypt, then declare on India, then rip them to shreds.
Beta? Rubberjello? Tell me the extent of my weediness. I need to get it out of my system , which is why I keep theorizing. I am an efficiency freak when it comes to troop movement. Me wanty railroads !

 

[Rubberjello]

Well, its time for me to bow out. Not because I want to, by any means! 8 Day summer vacation starts tomorrow. No internet access!!! YIKES! I'm gonna go through de-tox withdrawal!


Anyways, best of luck. This game is won - - - it just depends on WHEN it is going to be won. I would expect it to be over when I get back, but if not, I'll be happy to take up the rotation again.

It's been a pleasure to play with you all! I hope to join another SG with you soon!

Thanks.
RJ

 

[Tsukemono5]

It's been a pleasure to play with you. If we're not done by the time you get back, feel free to ask us for some of the we've been partaking of !

 

[OneFastWarrior]

okay, I'll play this evening. I will decide what I want to do when I am playing, I hope that you will all like the outcome, and I hope that I do too and I will probably post results and save tomorrow morning.

 

[OneFastWarrior]

Okay, Here ya go.

 

[OneFastWarrior]

Okay, here is the report such as it is

580AD Moving troops to new positions for upcaming battle for Egypt. Rush courthouse in outer city. Start sending new horses to Mecca for buildup and defense against Otto and/or Ghandi, In case Cleo signs MA, And for future attack on them also

590AD Noticed that we have a spice deal with Cleo, I will let it run out even though our rep is already trashed, but good to keep in practice

600AD Continue Maneuvering troops, Most MI and Elite Swords are now in Xinjian.

610AD Otto knows Monoteism (we have 26 horses waiting in Shanghai for Upgrade.)

620AD We have learned Monoteism. I decide to crank the slider to get Chivalry in 4 turns, This will run us at a deficit, but nothing we cannot recover from. I will wait to goto war until we learn Chivalry, In the Meantime

630AD We get more Add on's for our Palace. Continue Moving troops and not rushing anything until after upgrades.

640AD Otto has Sun Tzu's

650AD Reduce Slider to 60% Chivalry in 1 turn

660AD Chivalry discovered, Turn reseaerch off. I break our bank. We have 21 horsemen left to upgrade, we have 19 Samurai.

We Declare War on Egypt :ripper:

670AD Attack Egypt MI with Samurai, Win get promoted to Elite and we enter our GA. Attack Memphis and take it losing none, 1 Samurai is down to 1 bar. We lose an MI or 2 and a sword in Counter attacks, but they lost much more..

Go take this game to the bank Tsekemono5

the save

 

[betazed]

Edit: Scratch that.

 

[OneFastWarrior]

That pic was just a tease

 

[Tsukemono5]

WOOT!!! Got the game, will play tomorrow. Time to hand out some deluxe Japanese whoopass!

 

[Tsukemono5]

Bah. As much as I would like to, I am being dragged out as company and simply cannot get to it today. No school tomorrow [dance], so expect it then.

 

[Tsukemono5]

OK, I've started the turns. I just thought you'd all like to know that this happened:

I've already used him, so no debating. I want this game over with. And I noticed that we can't win by conquest until Marines, due to Edfu on a one-tile island .

 

[betazed]

Once again I have to correct you Tsuke. We can win before Marines . After Egypt has been really bashed, sue for Peace and ask for Edfu in return. They will give it. Then Edfu is ours and then you can wipe off Egypt. I have done this many times earlier.

What did you use the Leader for?

 

[Tsukemono5]

IT: There isn't one . OneFastWarrior, it's generally good SG ettiquette to save the game before the Next Turn button is pressed.
1. Take Heliopolis with minor losses
3. We get a palace expansion. And the Great Leader. He goes and rushes the Hanging Gardens in Heliopolis. Thebes is burnt to the ground. Capital moves to Alexandria.
4. Palace expansion. I rush a pike at Helio. El Amarna razed.
5. Our army is killed by an onslaught of 4 Med Inf after it was weakened fighting a pike! I MM Osaka to pump a samurai every 3 turns with the waste of six shields (in total) and no extra fpt.
6. War weariness is being a real pain. I revolt at the end of the turn to take advantage of being Religious.
7. We are now a Monarchy. Alexandria sacked. Too much of a flip risk. I am now pulling back our forces to Heliopolis to regroup. We have a lot of wounded Elites and Vets, and we need reinforcements of Samurai.

I stopped at 8 turns to even it out to 750 AD. Here it is

 

[OneFastWarrior]

Sorry about that Tsukemono5. My bad, won't happen again.

 

[OneFastWarrior]

Just checking the progress and Nothing here since last save, Betazed is up right?

Just want to finish this, cause I am only playing 1 SG at a time and I kind of want to see how we end.

I just want to thank you all for any and everthing I have learned from ya in this game. I hope to continue to learn and get to where I need to be

I, however, Have just 1 Question (stupid as it may be) I do not know what IT stands for. Please enlighten me

 

[betazed]

IT stands for In(ter) Turn. This is time when things happen between turns after you have pressed spacebar.

I did not know I was up. Sorry about that. Will play tonight or tomorrow morning.
