Tupac02-Ghandi the Conqueror AWE

My apologies I have no idea why but whenever I post a .SAV file it never works but if I .zip it first it does. I'll repost it when i get home.
 
Sorry. I have it. Original save actually worked for me. Playing right now
 
1475 - Everything looks great so I hit enter

1450 - get worker in Bombay, set production to Archer, warrior in the hills north kills barb loses 2 HP, move worker to finish clear forest next to Bombay, 10 shields to Bombay, archer in 4

1425 - Delhi gets settler, set production to arch, due in 4, reduce luxury slider, move settler SE of Delhi, attack 2 regular French archers with 2 of our vet archers, we win with only losing 1 HP in all :D, move warrior in the north closer to barb camp

1400 - attack barb camp guarded by 3 units, kill barb warrior but lose 1 HP, roaming French regular archer attacks, vet archer wins but loses 2 HP, founded Bangalore, set production to warrior in 5

1375 - set workers to build mine outside Bombay

1350 - Bombay gets archer, set production to another archer due in 7 turns

1325 - attack barbarian horseman, lose 1 HP and win, Delhi produces archer, another due in 3, cross French border with archer to have a look around

1300 - get IW, discover source of Iron in mountain range south of us, set research to wheel in 9 turns, we see French capital of Paris, doesn't look like they built the Eifell tower yet as they only have one citizen, fear not Parisians we are only friendly Indian tourists who happen to be armed ;)

1275 - Bangalore gets warrior, another due in 5, move 3 archers next to Paris

1250 - I attack Paris with 3 archers, it is defended by 2 units, I lose two archers in the battle but take Paris, Delhi produces another Archer, set production again to archer, due in 3, send a few archers south to protect Paris

I took a gutsy move attacking Paris. I hope it was a good move. If not let me know what I should have done. If that was right should I have kept it or razed the city? Well here's the save for a better player to pick up.

Great job taking Paris!! Gutsy move going in with only 3 archers, I'd have held off. Since you were unsure holding it isn't a mistake because it's not under any cultural pressure so we won't lose any units in a flip. I think I'd have razed though. We've got to get our own core set up rather than attempt to hold onto cities that are useless to us right now. We can always abondon if it becomes a problem.

I must say I don't agree with the placement of Bangalore. It's closeness to Delhi really jacks the corruption up in the towns that have already been founded. Even though this is always war I think having a solid, well thought out core would still be one of the basics that we should stick with. If you go back and read Chinese Dynasty you can see that it didn't start out AW, but it became that way & the time and care taken to build the core really paid off.

I've got it. I'll give some time for comment before I begin.
 
Raze was better in an AW. It is so far away it will be a bear to protect and it will add to corruption. You may want to consider abandoning it.
 
lurker's comment: On the other hand, Joan is probably going to focus all her military on regaining Paris. It might be hard to hold, but it will also keep her out of the Indian homeland for a while.

I agree with McLMan that Bangalore should have been shifted, maybe one NE to stay on the river. All in all though, it looks like you've got plenty of room to expand. Keep it up!
 
Agreed abotu Bangalore, suggest setting it to build a settler straight away and then making sure it doesnt grow past size 2 (set it to no growth) and wen the settler finishes we can abandon it and get our settler as well and move it 1 nw up the river. Its an expensive move but we know how we got into it and we have some idea of how to get out of it so we are fine.
Good move on Paris I would definately have held off and at the moment it is definately not worth anything to us, suggest getting something out of it ie. a couple of troops, workers, a settler maybe, watever we can and then ditch it. We lack the resources to succesfully defend it on the other hand it will give the french something to occupy them besides us, also suggest popping a settler out of delhi very soon (either wait until the archer finishes or do it now) in order to keep it happy.
 
Great job on taking Paris.:goodjob: I think we should abandon it sooner than later. We will not be able to hold it for long and we should focus on getting this metal.

Agree on Bangalore to build a settler and abandon it.
 
Sorry about Bangalore. :( I think someone suggested a spot for it but I simply miscounted tiles.

From what I'm hearing I didn't do too bad in taking Paris. I wasn't sure whether to raze or keep. I figured keeping it would keep Joan sending troops to recapture it and if it became a problem we could just abandon it.

Let me just say that I love this community. You guys are 10x better than most gaming websites where other players would simply just make fun of a somewhat noob like me instead of helping. :goodjob: I appreciate the suggestions, hints, constructive criticism. All I ask is to keep it positive.

There is a Settler in place to claim the Iron next turn. Settler due in Bangalore next turn also. France hasn't put up any fight at all. Just a lone archer that pops out and back once in a while. We have tough land to improve, trying to get out a couple of more workers. No slaves yet.

lurker's comment: Too bad you had to get rid of Paris.:( Btw, nice graphics McLMan.:)
 
Good turns McLMan.
What do we do with the leader ? Pyramids ?

Somehow this game does not feel like AW. It seems that we are alone with Joanie on this continent.

So, I got it and I will be playing tonight.
 
Hey McLman great luck getting the leader! With swords not ready for a while i would suggest grabbing the pyramids with him. We may very well be alone with joan whic would make this an absølutely fantastic start for us.
 
We are a ways away from getting any useful wonders. I think we should make an army and create the Heroic Epic after it's 1st victory. That will make our chances of getting more leaders to rush the good wonders.
 
Its a possibility but i just feel that a warrior or archer army would be a waste n we r still some ways off swords. Also the pyramids is not a bad little wonder to have
 
lurker's comment: My thought would be pyramids as well. They cost too many shields ever to build unless you're playing at Warlord, but they're an awesome wonder to have. Especially in this nice, well-watered part of the world. Does Gandhi have Masonry right now?
