VB2-Mayan Melee

Interesting turns:)

In war against Austria, we should at least get eastern part of Austria (unfogged)
 
I agree Ville. I think the eastern five Austrian cities would be a good goal for the war.

Additionally, VB or andvruss can probably execute a quick strike against the Dutch. They aren't contributing to the tech pace or anything. Reducing them to a settler in a boat or eliminating them would be good for us.

Pre-flight – 470 AD – We have contact with six of the seven civs. Great job team! I’m sure the last one is with the Sumerians and the Portuguese. The Dutch are still on our continent. I think it is time to remove them from this work and free their people from Despotism. Tech-wise, we’re ahead of everyone but the Byzantines with whom we’re even.

Upgrade two warriors to Med Inf. Rush a barracks in Cuello.

Build an embassy in Lisbon for 89G. I want to know where their capitol is for exporation purposes and maybe get a hint where the missing civ is. They have four luxes on line plus horses. Running 40% science.

Switch Chichen to a settler. Change Uxmal and Mayapan to a Rax. Plan on setting up to capture the six western Austrian cities.

IBT – Chichen: Settler=> Settler
Tikal: Market=. Med Inf
Cuello: Rax=> market
Galley sinks

1. 480 AD – Maneuvering. Upgrade two swords to Med Inf.
Some slider adjustments. Push science down to get Invention in four. Because of the large number of specialists, I bump lux to 10%. Budget +17gpt.

2. 490 AD –Two turns from the Austrian invasion. Maybe two turns from Dutch invasion The Byzantines have Theology. Science down to 60%, invention due in 3.

IBT _ Chichen: Settler=> Med Inf
Copan: Market=> Horse
Yax: Library=> Pike
Quiriqua: Settler=> Rax
We get a cool front yard for the palace.
Byzantines start Sistine.

3. 500 AD – Manuevering

IBT Bonampak: Market=> Pike
Piedras: Barracks=> Duct
We get some stairs for the palace.

4. 510 AD – Upgrade a spear to a pike and a sword to a Med Inf.
Two turns from Dutch invasion.

IBT – Invention comes in. Gunpowder next, due in 10 at 70% science.
Palenque: Market=> Galley
Calakmul: Pike=> Market

5. 520 AD – Sell Invention to Theodora for Theology, 43G and 1gpt.
Dutch invasion starts next turn.

Hurry a pike in Yax for 80G.

IBT – Copan: Horse=> Horse
Tikal: Med Inf=> Med Inf
Yax: Pike=> Pike

6. 530 AD – Declare war on Dutch. Start invasion. Change Calakmul to a worker.

IBT – The Dutch move a huge invasion force of five archers and two spears out of Utrecht. Hopefully I can take the city.
Chichen: Med Inf => Med Inf

7. 540 AD – Siege of Utrecht: 4/4 AC kills 3/3 spear (-2hp)
4/4 horse kills 3/3 spear (redlined)
A defender remains. Move a spear into Yax. Dutch siege of the city coming up next.

It appears that there is one continent across the pond.

IBT – Yax falls. Three archers killed. Massive rioting.
Kabah: warrior=> Warrior
With all that rioting, the people still love me and build an east wing on the palace. :confused:

8. 550 AD - @ Utrecht: 4/4 Med Inf kills 3/3 spear (redlined)
4/4 Med Inf kills 3/3 spear (-2 hp) Utrecht falls.

Lose an AC and a JT attacking Dutch spears on open land.

@ Yax: Med Inf kills spear.

IBT – No counter. Tulum: Barracks=> market

9. 560 AD – Found Ake on west coast.

@ Yax – 4/4 MI kills 3/3 archer (-2hp)
4/4 MI kills 3/3 archer. Yax is liberated.

The Fledgling Dutch are destroyed.

Lux back to 10%. MM like crazy.

IBT – Chichen: MI=> MI
Copan: horse=> Horse
Palenque: galley=> galley
Calakmul: Worker=> Worker
We get a west wing on the palace.
Byzantines are building Knights Templar.

10. 570 AD – Sure enough, they have Chivalry.


After action report: Keep sail clockwise around the other continent and we should see the seventh civ – The Inca.

Probably should keep cranking workers out of Calakmul. We have a lot of improvements to make still.

I held off on the Austrian invasion due to the Dutch response. Probably another 10 tens of build up and we’ll be ready to attack.

Got it!
 
The Beav seems to be missing in action. :rolleyes:

VB - are you out there to take this?
 
Here's a shock. It has been ten days since this game has been played.
 
I guess VB doesn't care about his own SG. His last post was over on Wiz04 yesterday. I'd say that constitutes poor form, and makes me question whether I want to be on this team.
