One more thing, I think we are up to about up to 50 GPT. So we've got a pretty good cash flow.

 

[ErMaC]

OK I got it, will work on it tonight

 

[ErMaC]

0) 1140AD - changed nothing

1) 1150AD - kyoto bank-settler. Take out the two immortals on the island with cavalry, transport the workers off island and try to run from incoming persian frigate.
EOT: Frigate attacks, caravel fights it off but has 1 life left.

2) 1160AD - kyoto makes settler, go for coal plant. Russians complete universal suffrage. americans start Theory of evolutions, persians go for hoover dam. We lose one cavalry destroying persian city on island, but they've founded another one further south (Tyre).

3) 1170AD - Incensible temple-harbor. Get replaceable parts, go for scientific method.
EOT: Persian cavalry offs one of our cavalry on the other island.

4) 1180AD - Dyeville rifleman-aqueduct. Last cavalry on island offs the persian cavalry and becomes elite, but down to 2 life after upgrade. We have a worker on the island now who's running.
EOT: Iroqois land cavalry on our soil. Grr...

5) 1190AD - Osaka hospital-cavalry. kagoshima rifleman-aqueduct. Get espionage from Americans for 210g+map. after we get scientific method I'm gonna go all money, no research, so we can catch up on tech. Our swordmen take out the iroqouis cavalry (good thing too, Tokyo is very poorly defended). Russians found a city on that little continent. I think I'll just merge the settler Kyoto produced into another city cause I don't wanna bother trying to hold that continent. Iroqouis won't make peace without us giving them gold, and persians I want to off their last city on new continent before making peace unless they make a showing of force.
Persians complete hoover dam, start bombarding out improvements in the south with ironclads. Kill a road, oh no!

6) 1200AD - Nothing important.

7) 1210AD - We get scientific method. I swtich to 100% money, we get 200gpt. Osaka builds cavalry, I switch to forbidden palace as placeholder for now. Jungle Love aqueduct-cathedral. Edo harbor-aqueduct. I switch berlin from palace placeholder over to intelligence agency, switch kyoto to Theory of evolution (8 turns, hopefully we'll get it but I doubt it). Osaka makes palace as placeholder.
Russians and persians sign alliance.


8) 1220AD - London marketplace-bank. Americans make theory of evolution. Switch kyoto back to intelligence agency and berlin to hospital. Our cavalry attacks Tyre and we get a hero! Sweet!!! Cavalry down to 1 health so he retreats.

9) 1230AD - Berlin hospital-market. I make peace with the persians and iroquois, no strings. Get atomic theory from lincoln for 680. Calculated it out and we can buy techs faster than we can research them ourselves (since we're getting around 200gpt) so I decide to leave it at full money.

10) 1240AD - Kyoto finishes intelligence agency, switch to worker. Incensible harbor-aqueduct. Get corporation from americans for 400.

11) 1250AD - kyoto makes worker, switch to wealth. Persians start both Fission wonders, which means they're in the next age. Eek. Checked screen and all the other civs just hit next age.

12) 1260AD - Russian ironclads show up and start bombarding, mostly unsuccessfully. There's a galleon around but it hasn't landed anything and actually moved away from shore. Anyways, furville finishes the iron works, switch to marketplace.

13) 1270AD - russian battleship shows up and starts bombarding. Berlin market-bank. Get refining for 440, steal for 430.

14) 1280AD - make peace with russians for 20g. Get combustion for 510.

15) 1290AD - dyeville aqueduct-market. Gemville market-bank. Silkysmooth market-aqueduct. Furville market-bank.

16) 1300AD - Junglelove cathedral-market.

17) 1305AD - Got mass production for 410, electronics for 510.

18) 1310AD - London bank-courthouse.

19) 1315AD - Berlin bank-courthouse. Persians finish manhattan project. Got motorized transport for 410.

20) 1320AD - Kagoshima aqueduct-harbor. Got flight for 580.

Basically just keep buying techs until we're in the next age and caught up to everyone else. We're not gonna get to United Nations in time, but it doesn't matter cause no one would vote for us anyway, and I think the opponents are sufficiently pissed off at each other that they won't vote anyone into diplo victory anyway (if it's even turned on, I don't remember).
The Iroquois seem to be the leased pissed off at us (they're annoyed instead of furious). We're trading silks to the persians for 16gpt, and altogether we're making 319gpt.

[ErMaC]

sorry for double post, database on forum server died for a few minutes and was giving me errors.

 

[gunning1]

So who wants to play next?

 

[ErMaC]

Bump

hopefully someone aside from us 2

 

[gunning1]

Well, it looks like this one is dead too.

 

[mauiduck]

No it's not... I've got it per ErMac helping me keep the British invasion game going...will post log and save game later today...

 

[gunning1]

Well, it's good to see that it's not dead.

 

[mauiduck]

Well the decision not to build the UN costs us as the Persians completed it right after starting in. I managed to deter the first vote but because catherine declasred war on everyone Xerxes won the second vote. It woiuld have been over soon anyway as the Persians were close to completing the ship and only a nuclear strike, which I wasn't in posoitoon for yet could stop them.. Here are the notes for what it is worth ... ..... Sorry guys

It is in the year of great elections that Ducksan of Mowee became out next PM. He sought to expand Japanese might further and to combat the menace of the high seas

1330 - The PMs first order was to assess the naval strength of Japan and to test the alliances. Our diplomatic corp. used their skills as warriors of negotiations to get Fission and Radio for 70 gold a turn, which was steal considering we are making 300 a turn and that they originally wanted it for 89 a turn plus our World Map, which we also took off the table. Our great railway project continued and sever cities were called upon to produce settlers to obtain the extra luxuries and wealth inside our sphere of influence. The plans of the Palace were reviewed and although Ducksan is humbled by the wisdom of the ancestors before him, his cabinet urged that something else be built as moving the capital further south would take too many years and not impact much. Wall Street was built and it was noted that this allowed us to pursue our aggressive scientific studies and still earn 34 gold a turn. After much debate Wall Street was built. Like the previous PM, Ducksan decided that given the conditions of the world the UN would not be a feasible venture

1335 -- Not much happened in this era as our workers toiled hard for the Empire. It is amazing to see how many deposits of uranium we have in our borders! On a sadder note the Oil reserves near Osaks have run dry. We have so much untapped weapons grade uranium that our future could be an atomic one.

1340 -- Our massive military upgrade began in earnest. Our yen continues to explode as the Wall Street kicks in and we are back to +238 gold a turn. The naval disparity between Japan and the rest of the world is alarming although our great admirals feel that a nuclear program could tip the scales into our favor dramatically. To that end two nuclear submarines are ordered up. It is felt that once we achieve rocketry that we can create a suitable deterrence against invasion. Nagyo is formed to access the productive power of the gems and mines in the mountains.

1345 -- Was a slow year except that our settler two inf divisions and workers as well as a tank brigade prepare for the departure south of our land to a small island known only as Okinawa -- the stuff of legends. We know other are there but we feel that the wealth that abounds, not to mention that there is no more free land elsewhere has led us to conclude it is a prudent move. The Iroquois tried to get us to sign a Mutual Pact but without technology our people know it would be unwise to cast the fates to others hands can be like casting rice to the winds.

1350 -- The era began with news of foreign spies sabotaging our Aqueduct production in Edo. It is too much of a waste of money to attempt to strike back at the possible culprits, but the modernization program begun by our predecessors continues and we will be able to deal our justice soon. Other than that our colonist rallied for Okinawa at Tokyo. Another settler has been produced to tap the mines and minerals lying unused in the East. Our workers toil endlessly to link and improve all the resources of our cities.

1355 -- The UN was completed by the Persians and it appears that a diplomatic win is viable. Our PM Ducksan told his envoy to abstain and so no majority was reached and the Persians and the Russians split it. Time is now running out....

1360 -- Not much happened but our colonists moved out. We continue to target the many vast mineral wealth we have to mine and bring rails and highways to in order to fuel our mighty economic engine. Our envoys have brought home bounties again!! We were able to secure Space Flight, Rocketry and Computers and Nuclear power for 150 gold a turn. It was a brilliant ploy for now we are able to compete with others and begin the Space Program. Again time is running even shorter. Out first tactical nuke is en route and already naval activity is falling off even more.

1365 -- The race is on! We have rushed the Apollo Program at the sole responsibility and discretion of Ducksan and in good time for as soon as it was completed the Persians announced the completion of their first stage. This is it. We either attack Persia soon or forget it, as this will be over for our people soon.

1370 -- We try and buy more techs but are reaching a point where our commitments will prevent us from researching tech on our own. WE have to build out what we have and push our new cities to grow as quickly as possible. Improvements are being made to the areas around the cities producing the Space ship parts but things look even grimmer for Japan.

1375 -- Another part of the ship is added. Our nuclear weapons are still being readied and we don not have the force to attack Persia and do any damage to their production. Our only hope is to guide our subs in range of the city they are building the space ship in and nuke it before it launches. But we have to complete our own, as the UN vote will almost certainly go with Persian and we do not have funds to tech up at this moment. Dark days have begun for the land of the rising sun.

1380 -- Nothing much happens except that we conduct an investigation of Persepolis. It appears that they will have completed the fuel cells the next turn. It is now either, nuclear war, or bust as the investigation also concluded there was 19 mech infantry in that city alone. A military victory is out of the question by conventional means.

1385 -- I feel that Ducksan is losing control of the situation. His nuclear program has gotten to be a concern. Despite all efforts to upgrade the cities it is too late to bring the production up to the level needed to acquire the tech AND build the Space ship components at one time. It is looking like a kamikaze option is our only hope.

1390 -- The Russians demanded tribute from Ducksan and us told them that Japan would not buckle. After consulting the world map Ducksan could see that the Russians and the Iroquois were fighting over contested lands and so for 50 gold we were able to get the Iroquois to join our divine struggle.

1395 -- The Russian BB group attacked our coast but destroyed only little. The real damage came from waves of bombers stationed in Rostov. But our armor is closing fast. The Persians have added the Fuel cells and the boosters and look close to launching their craft. Our nuclear production is just not fast enough.

1400 -- Our Calvary division takes heavy losses from the bombers although armor and infantry close on the town of Rostov. The Russian ships continue to attack us. Now the question is do we attack the Russian ships or the Persian city?

1405 -- We produced our first tactical nuke and immediately loaded it on to one of our nuclear subs. the decisions was made to go ahead and move the sub into position at Persepolis. Our tank destroyed the infantry at Rostov, but a rifleman defeated the same healthy armor unit, which astounds us greatly. The Iroquois navy has shown up to help us defend our coasts.

1415 -- Well the UN destroyed us as all the other nations voted for Xerxes. It didn’t look like we could have pulled it out anyway and so after losing face, Ducksan commits Hari Kiri in the name of himself and his ancestors.

Here is the save in case you want to see it...

 

[mauiduck]

Since I jumped in last minute, feel free to take the last save before mine and re-do it if any of you think ya can pull off the win... ...but this Tojo just didn't have the Mojo .. ...

 

[Dominix]

I took it from the last save and won it by Diplomatic (yeh I know cheap). The report isn't really worth making. Basically I researched Radio at 5.5.0 (adjusting accordingly as timed passed) and got it in 4 turns accumulating around 560. Built a bank in the meantime and had Osaka build Wall Street. Every city that didn't have a marketplace was building one (some got built), and any city with a bank (except Osaka which was prebuilding) was set on wealth. London and Berlin both set on courthouses. Worker efforts were focused on Kyoto and some of the outlying cities in the south. When I got Radio, I bought Fission off the Iro for 60 gpt. Then I built United Nations and went around sucking up to other nations. It looked like the Persians would be the other contender for the vote, and since America had a MPP with them, I focused on the Iro and Russians. 50 gpt and a MPP got the Iro to Polite, but I had to give 370 gpt total plus MPP to get Russia to Polite. By then I still had 764 gold in the bank making 14 gpt at 10.0.0. Still paid off though, as I rushed United Nations in Kyoto with Tojo.

Votes:

Tokugawa votes for Tokugawa
Hiawatha votes for Tokugawa
Catherine votes for Tokugawa
Lincoln votes for Xerxes
Xerxes votes for Xerxes

Japan won with a score of 2994, followed by Russia with 753, Persia with 724, Iroquois with 699 and America with 531

 

[mauiduck]

To quote Chevy Chase in Fletch, "Thank God it's the police"... ...way to pull that cat out of the bag and get the diplomatic win!... ...

 

[WarlordMatt]

Yes we won!!! Hows about we just continue the game and nuke Persia for fun?
