Wiz01- My first SG (Regent)

[Gengis Khan]

Flight check: Bump back research to 80%, still comes in 8 but saves us 9gpt.
Military report- 1settler, 16workers(& 6slaves), 8warriors, 8spears, 7swords, 5horses, & 3galleys.
Diplo front- We’re up Fued on Egypt, Zulu, Aztec, Abe, & China. Mono, Monarchy, & Fued on India. All are broke & can’t pay any gpt.

Sun’s is due in 49, hopefully this will be rushed by a GL.

Also I’m not a big fan of monarchy, even in times of war(unless playing an AW game), and seeing as we have 73 population points, & only 48 units, I would like to revolt. Granted our gain may be offset by the lack of MPs a little, but I think we’ll continually make more money with republic then with Monarchy even with our lux tax up slightly, this will also allow us to send the MPs of our interior cities to the front lines where we’re seriously hurting for troops. BUT, unfortunately seeing as we’ve been at war for the last 20 turns or so I have a feeling war-weariness would be catastrophic, so I’m gonna wait until we’re closer to victory over “zee Germans”.

Hurry a horse in Nagasaki(to avoid wasting 5 shields) for 40g.
Put Zimbabwe on a starvation diet to get rid of all the pissed off Zulus, and make the 4 citizens there tax collectors.
Change Yokohama from pike to a temple to get a bunch of grassland including a BG, & a cow in its radius. Hurry the temple for 64g, seeing as its on the Zulu border, then move the workers from the plains they’re roading to improve the cow.

IT- Mao is pissed about the galley in his territory, I agree to move it.
Kyoto: sword>worker Also MM Kyoto to drop the production from 11 to 10, but increase the gold produced by 3.
Yokohama: temple>horse
Intombe: barracks>worker Intombe isn’t growing due to unimproved terrain, this needs to be changed.
Nagasaki: horse>horse

1- Elite sword kills impi guarding Mpondo capturing it, but is redlined in the battle. Mpondo starts on a spear, with a temple pre-set on the queue. This can be vetoed if you want.
The Zulu are destroyed![dance] Meaning my starvation diet at Zimbabwe is no longer necessary.
Horse retreats attacking spear guarding Leipzig, but takes off 1 hp.
Vet sword kills spear(Leipzig), -1hp.
Wounded sword tries to kill the last defender of Leipzig(redlined), but is killed.
Unfortuanly I don’t even have anymore wounded units that can attack him, so he’ll get 1 more turn to live.
Upgrade a warrior in Kyoto for 40g.

IT- Hammi wants to trade WMs provided I throw in Feudalism, why does the computer even ask things like that?? I know I wouldn’t approach the AI with a request like that. I quickly send him packing.
Kyoto: worker>sword
The people love us so much they add a 2nd story to our mansion.

2- MM a bunch of cities, to avoid waste when growing/producing things.
Wounded vet sword takes out the last defender of Leipzig capturing 2 slaves & the city, which comes complete with 2 resistors. Leipzig starts on a worker hoping we can get it out before the city grows & gain an extra slave.
Hurry production of horse in Izumo for 24g to avoid waste.
Hurry warrior in Shimonoseki for 12g.

IT- Mao wants to trade WM as long as we throw in Fued. Again, I question the sanity of the AI.
Vet horse kills an attacking archer, -1hp. Go RNG!!
Edo: horse>sword
Satsuma: market>horse
Izumo: horse>worker
Shimonoseki: warrior>temple
Hakodate: warrior>temple
Indians are building the Hanging Garden.

3- Elite sword kills archer on hill, but is redlined.

IT- nada

4- Vet horse kills archer.
Move troops towards Kongisburg, I’ll take this city first to force the Germans to send troops towards 2 borders, then march on Berlin.
Bump lux back, not at +7gpt due in 4.
Hurry a temple in Zimbabwe.
Still up feudalism on everyone & noone besides Biz will give us gpt.

IT- Kyoto: sword>horse
Zimbabwe: temple>woker
Izumo: worker>settler
Nagasaki>horse>settler

5- Surround Kongisburg. MM some more.

IT- HA!! Vet horseman fights off an archer, -2hp but promotes. The RNG is being good to me.
Edo: sword>horse

6- Finish moving in swords to Kongisburg. Send some troops towards Berlin as well.
Hurry worker in Leipzig, it’ll produce a slave & get rid of the second Germin, all for only 24g.
Also MM alittle.

IT- Reg sword fends off an archer, -1hp but promotes.
Leipzig: worker>cat
Isandhlwana: warrior>warrior
Toyama: warrior>cat
7- Horseman retreated by spear.
Vet sword kills spear guarding Kong, -2hp but promotes.
Wounded sword kills spear, capturing Kongisburg. Which comes fully stocked with a slave & 2 resistors. Start my full march on Berlin.

IT- We learn Chivalry. Because everyone is still behind on techs(chivalry at least), I start on engineering with a single scientist.
Tokyo: market>aque
Nagoya: temple>court
Hakodate: temple>market
Ise: worker>temple

8- Set up troops outside Berlin, pillage some. MM a couple cities.

IT- Nagasaki: settler>market
Sapporo: worker>worker
Fukushima: warrior>warrior (built while we’re still in monarchy for cheap MPs)

9- Vet horse retreated by spear guarding Berlin.
Vet horse killed by spear guarding Berlin.
Elite horse retreated by spear guarding Berlin, -1hp.
Reg sword kills spear, -2hp but promotes.
Elite sword kills spear, -2hp. Takes Berlin by force, netting us another slave, the Oracle, & 4 resistors.
Elite horse kills archer.
MM some more cities, yada yada.

IT-Zimbabwe: woker>worker
Resistance in Berlin ends, & it riots. Doh!! I didn’t expect it to end that fast. I change them all to tax collectors.
Yokohama: worker>pike
Izumo: settler>worker
Intombe: worker>courthouse
Kongisberg: worker>temple
Shimonoseki: temple>pike
Americans are building Sun’s

10- Move some horses towards Hamburg(new capitol.).
A settler & sword on auto-move to a good city spot for our next city.
Another settler founds Go-Yankees!!, which starts on a worker. (Sorry Gorm, couldn’t resist).
Blah, blah blah. MM some, rush an improvement or two.

**End of Turn Report**
*Engineering due in 38, 420g, & 94gpt. The scientist is in Zimbabwe, just make sure we have 1 somewhere.
*Military Report- 2settlers, 23 workers(& about 10slaves), 13warriors, 8spears, 10swords, 8horses, & 1 galley. We have a strong military compared to everyone.
*Diplo front- Everyone is still down at least 1 tech, & noone will trade for gpt. Stupid broke AI!!
*Our first Samurai is going to be produced next turn, DON’T attack or defend with him until we make peace with Germany & get into republic. That GA will give us more gpt then we can spend.

I’m probably forgetting a lot of things but that’s life.
Good luck!




SAVE!

 

[gormdragan]

Dun worry GK, we Sox fans are more mature.

WAHAHAHAHHA

Plus I get to name my sox cities too.

 

[Gengis Khan]

But mom, he started it! I was just getting him back.

 

[sabo]

I'll play tomorrow morning, it's late

Couple quick suggestions/observations for the next couple turns:

2. I once again have to stress workers!! First of all we don't have nearly enough(11 workers & 4 slaves), secondly we're wasting half the ones we do have by putting them to work thats not needed right now.

Well, I had 5 cities working on settlers / workers, though I didn't get much produced during my turns. As far as what the workers are doing, I know I may not be the best at prioritizing them, as I sometimes look too far down the road when planning worker actions. I was trying to set up Kyoto and Osaka to grow and be wonder producers. Whether I went about it the right way or not..? And I guess I forget to write down these thoughts for you guys, so I will try to work on that.

Zorvan I'm not trying to sound like I'm ripping your turns apart or criticizing you.

Don't worry, I get where you are coming from

 

[Gengis Khan]

Don't sweat it Zorvan. I think we're actually doing alright on workers for now(although we can always use more ).

As long as we keep steam rolling over opponents you won't hear much complaining from me.

 

[sabo]

I have a question, why all the horsemen and no Knights when we have chic, horses, and iron?

Also, and this is just an observation, usually I don't play with so many regular troops, Barracks are always one of the first things I build in a city especially when at war. Barracks will produce veteran troops and heal hurt units within one turn, they make a huge difference.

 

[sabo]

 

[sabo]

Turn 1:
I see why we have no Knights we have no iron, I was assuming we had iron becuase of the swordsman we got, Gandhi is the only one we can trade with for iron and he wants too much so I'm moving some workers down to hook up our iron down by Go-Yankees.

Turn 2:
Took hamberg with swordsman, I might let Germany keep Munich,
heidelberg, and Nuremburg since they are in the tundra. Started a barracks in Hamburg because we have no barracks within miles
built a couple more workers, we now have 26 workers with 26 cities, granted some of these workers are slaves but usually I find one worker per city is a pretty good ratio.

Turn 3:
Not too much, just positioning troops to attack Frankfurt, my southern stack of swords and horse have reinforced my northern stack that just took hamburg, good timing GK!

Turn 4:
Took Frankfurt from the Germans, it was his new Capitol and he only had one spearman gaurding it, me thinks Germany is pretty much on the ropes right now, going after Tiatecloclo

Turn 5:
Not too much...

Turn 6:
Egypt just build the hanging gardens, and three civs switched to sun tzu, which means they've basically pre-built for it. I hope we get that GL soon. Other than that not too much, going to attach Tiatecloco next turn which is Germany's last productive city, I might make peace after that.

Turn 7:
Germany snuck up on me and took izuzu with one archer against our warrior, I had a pikeman within two moves of reinforcing izuzu, oh well... Bismark is going to have to wait a while for peace, we should just wipe him out for that little trick. Trying to get some defenders up in Tokyo and Toyama because they have no one defending them, they will be Bismarks next target. I took Teatecloco and I'm swinging my force back up north towards Bismarks remaining cities.

Turn 8:
HA No problem, the people of Izumu revolted and is our city once again, but I still want to teach Bismark a lesson, he's weak and we shouldn't loose any troops while fighting him, which would in turn allow us to build up forces for our next victim , besides, we need a GL for Sun Tzu
Bismark was going after Izumo with another archer again but I got a spearman and a pikeman fortified up there now.. Good luck Bizzy..

Turn 9:
Took out Bismarks archer by Izumo with horseman
Have had two additions to our palace, changed the color scheme of our pillars to dark, the next person might need to change it back, one color scheme is just too boring got alot of WLTK days going on right now, other than that not too much

Turn 10:
Moved two workers down to the 2nd iron by Fukishumu, it's not in our culture border "yet" but I'm starting a temple in Fukishumu
or we could make a colony with one of our slaves, it's up the the next couple of people. I got our force kind of moving towards Nurmeburg because that seems to be the only decent one he has up there of the three in the Tundra, Sorry guys not my best set of turns but it's early here and I"m tired.

Here you go Evie

[gormdragan]

Wow...impressive developments since I last touched this game.

everyone

I will have limited internet access for the next 2 weeks but should still be able to play (if you dun see a "got it" posting in 48 hours, you could skip me if you dun want to wait)

 

[Ankka]

Hi, I'm back!

Good playing, GK & sabo! Really impressive.

So, its Evies turn.

 

[Superevie]

D'oh! My turn comes up faster and faster every time. I'll see if I can play tonight. So, what are some things you guys want to accomplish this set of turns?

(Oh yeah, and check out my new avatar! Super Girl, just like me. )

 

[Gengis Khan]

Nice avatar Evie, very fitting.

I'd make peace with biz & extort everything you can get from him in the process(except for cites, if we want those baron frozen cities we'll take them by force). Then I'd switch to Republic, making sure you hire some clowns to keep from revolting due to no MPs, shouldn't be too much of a problem seeing as we just got another lux. Our next war will have some samurais involved & spawn a Republic GA that will make us the envy of the world.

 

[Superevie]

I'm a little on the busy side tonight, is okay if I play tomorrow?

 

[Ankka]

Yes. Cool avatar, BTW

We're building Sun's. (just thinking aloud)

Try to build up our roadweb & irrigate/mine a lot. Nothing else from here...

 

[Superevie]

Hey Scott,

You didn't post a game save. It's only an image of the game, so I can't play yet. Did I miss it or something?

 

[sabo]

Sorry evie... I gave it a .jpg extension rather than a .sav extension. It should work now. Try it again....
(see?? I told you it was early and I wasn't awake yet )

[edit] Hang on, it's not fixed yet

[edit] I can't seem to fix it here at work, I'll do it when I get home tonight.. sorry

 

[Smellincoffee]

Grief! Can anyone say "Straddling the globe like a Collossus"?!

That's a big empire.

Okay. I guess I'll see if it's ready by tonight. If I get it after around 9:00ish then I have to do it tomorrow. Computer rules in my house.
