Tupac05 - A Classic Replayed

[JJJSpider]

No not my First Emp Game.

Russian keeps up the assault on Berlin Passing by Konginsberg
French Would Keep shooting the gap between Salzburg and Bonn Trying for Heildburg. But they would attack Salzburg every so often.
India liked my worker stacks around Portsmith
Persia Likes Stuggart

For awhile I didn’t have enough defense to move around Lost a lot of Swords and Warrior covering worker stacks and protecting cities I knew I couldn’t defend against the attack. Just putting in More than the attackers.
I have Rails set up coast to Coast so Defense did get better along the way. Most of the Cannon are on the Iron Mountain.
I left the 2 Cav Army with Movement for next player.
Still having some issues with Pictures I hope to resolve this problem soon.

Sorry for the mess up. I might have messed up the RCP in russia if we're still doing that. Save and screenie to come

 

[Vind2]

[tupaclives]

Would've been nice to have an interturn but oh well. Things look good and I wouldn't worry about the RCP, once it gets to past the 3rd ring on a standard map I just forget about RCP because its no longer worth it.

Will play this afternoon

 

[tupaclives]

Turn 1 (no pre-turn left for me) - Start by pullign back a few things to heal. America is negligible and I suspect Russia is nearly gassed. I decide to make settling the Ivory a priority (we don't have any!).
MM to get us to positive gpt, we have a lot of cities without raxes building cavs... why? Change them to cannons, workers or settlers.
We also have ultra-corrupt towns building raxes... again utterly pointless, workers or settlers from these towns.
Kill 2 cossacks and a rifle (3-0)

IBT - We get palace expansion. During the reassignment of builds I realise that Wall street hasn't been built yet! This will be started immediately!

Turn 2 - Berlin starts Wall Street. Found the Zoo, which nets us 2 ivory. Fire specialists I dont want, actually hire more in others (ultra-corrupt towns). Gathering forces to make a push for the gems. Income is at positive with RP in 12. Kill a Cossack (4-0).

IBT - Japan and Russia sign a trade embargo against us. The trade embargo between Persia and America against us ends.

Turn 3 - Meh nothing really, still waiting for the armies to heal. Kill a cossack (5-0) MM gets Rep parts in 10 at +16gpt.

IBT - zzz

Turn 4 - Kill a rifle, get a leader and rush Wall Street. We can up research because of it (well as of next turn, but might as well get a head start).
Big force at Nuremburg is ready to move out next turn. RP in 8 at -38gpt

IBT - a stack of multiple yank rifles shows up.

Turn 5 - Wall street finishes and we are back to positive cash Kill a Russian horse and cossack (7-0). The unit builds after Wall street put us back at -2gpt. RP in 7.

IBT - Ruskies drop off a cossack by portsmith

Turn 6 -kill the cossack (8-0), the siege of Minsk sees a cav die in the killing of 3 rifles (11-1) and Minsk is razed. I decide to rush a few settlers to fill up the lands of russia. Also rush a rax in The Zoo to serve as a forward healing post make sure it is sold once we move forward! get another leader (12-1) and make another army... guess we'll fill it with cavs (all elite*).

I have to pause here for a while. I have muchos real work to do and really need to get it done. Hopefully the rest of the turnset won't be much longer at all.

 

[tupaclives]

IBT - The American rifles are now beside bactra. Munich gets what I think is our first hit of pollution and persian starts ToE.

Turn 7 - Start by killing 8 american rifles and generating a leader although we lose a cav (20-2). I decide to save the leader. Increase science. We now have RP due in 4, its possible that Persia will call us up asking for some sort of trade for RP, if that happens we can trade for Sci Method and rush ToE so we can still be first to Hoovers. If the next player thinks different then you can use the leader but with nothing else worth rushing, and an abundance of armies I'd rather aim for ToE.

IBT - zzz

Turn 8 - Kill a cossack (21-2), found Gem Town and New Hannover. Send our cav forces (3 armies, many vet cavs) toward St Petersburg.

IBT - Get another pollution hit, France establishes an embassy with us.

Turn 9 - France is at war with Russia and Japan. Can drop science and still have RP in 2. We lose a cav attacking St Petersburg but capture the city (23-3). I do this so that we can use the territory now in our possesion to attack further this turn. Attack Tblisi with armies and kill 4 rifles (27-3) and raze the city. This double city take has knocked out their saltpeter supplies. They are finished. With the 2 new luxs connected I fire all the specialists we don't want (any left should be kept) and start disbanding MP's. Happiness problems no longer exist.

IBT - Russia refounds 1S of Tblisi, France drops off a rifle alongside Sevastopol. The Trade Embargo between India and Persia ends. They immediately dial us up offering Free Artistry for Coal, ha! Renogotiate and find Free Artistry is worth 20gp to them, nice try. Try and buy Sci Method but nothing will have will buy it from them, if we could dial them up at our leisure we could throw in gpt and probably buy it. Oh well we'll have to hope that someone with Sci Meth will want RP when it comes in next turn.

Turn 10 - Kill 2 rifles and capture sevastopol We can use it to stop other civs settlers trying to claim russian land that is rightfully 'ours'. In the meantime we need to get some settlers there stat. Kill another rifle (30-3) and raze kiev. A lot of our boys are in St. Petersburg (inc. 2 armies) however they can't leave till next turn... if it flips in the interturn Nope don't want to take that risk, abandon it now and there is no cultural encrochment.

I'm going to leave it there, and pass it on now. There are still a few moves to be made but no further gains in this turn. RP is in 1, but science can't be reduced, go for Sci Method next, theres a chance we can get there before the persians complete ToE, or maybe a trade or something, regardless we have to try and get ToE, we have the leader waiting. Good luck markh!
