Fen Australia1848 Posts April 28 2010 04:46 GMT #121 Wow, this is looking tough. Domination is going to be very hard if it means taking on such a powerful alliance. However space will be tough as well seeing as we are behind tech wise. Im really interested to see how this all plays out.

Shivaz Canada1783 Posts April 28 2010 04:56 GMT #122 its not that bad we are only behind in like couple techs. we really only have to worry about UN AP loss, at monarch the ai tech rate is still pitiful if the AIs actually go space it will be really easy for us to win.

narri United States55 Posts April 28 2010 06:12 GMT #123 There's a saying I keep hearing: land is power. People will crash their economies as far as possible (to the point where you need to work cottages to break-even at 0% and use scientists to get to Alphabet,Monarchy,Code of Laws,Currency) just to get that much more land before the AI. Because unless you're declared upon, more land automatically means more resources, more tiles to work, and more production without having to fight. We will have two major advantages: clear hold of a lot of land/resources, and the stupidity of the AI (in terms of improving land, Friendly AI freely trading and NEVER declaring war, etc.). Sadly, by the time we have a tech lead to even think about taking on the world in war, we will be very close to space anyway. So many of the next sets will be relatively boring, but really instructive as to the power of late game cottages with the right civics.

miseiler United States1389 Posts April 29 2010 23:12 GMT #124 The world as I knew it on turn 343: As we were in Anarchy, I took my first couple of turns without incident. Our peace treaty with Gilgamesh was canceled. Meh. I started by re-microing a few citizens to work the cottage tiles: After that, I started building sciency/commerce buildings everywhere. I wanted to build the National Epic in Timbuktu as narri suggested, but it requires a library. Why isn't there a library here? Uh oh... I can tell I'm the favourite. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. How about your sister? I think maybe we could strike a deal.. Chemistry finishes. I trade Democracy and Replaceable Parts to Napolean for Scientific Method. I tried to get Astronomy, but the only person that would trade it to us was Gilga. I didn't think helping him out was a hot idea, so I passed. I'd appreciate some input here from the stronger players...is it better to help an AI out at this point just to get to the Apollo program quicker? We find oil. Whoop. Napolean renounces his defensive pact with Gilgamesh! Maybe an attack is still on the table? ....and then becomes a vassal of Suleiman the next turn. Sigh. My turns ended with Boudica making nice with the neighbours. Save file: [url blocked] PM'd ProoM! Good luck

Falcynn United States3597 Posts April 29 2010 23:19 GMT #125 This is the first game I've ever seen/played where everyone converted to the same religion. Anyways, cool set of turns, nice to see that TL is catching up tech/score wise (although the AI winning through diplomacy is starting to look like a much stronger possibility =/ )

narri United States55 Posts April 29 2010 23:36 GMT #126 For the record, I want HEROIC Epic in Timbuktu. Though thinking about it a little more, I guess National Epic isn't that bad an idea either. This is such a strange game that I would trade as much as possible, as long as you are splitting up your trades (so one tech on our side can let us trade for many techs/cash). And BTW, Free Speech ASAP. +2 Commerce on Towns is awesome. See if any of the free Great People are obtainable (Communism, Physics). If not, get Steam Power so we can get our Unique Building, the Dike (just like a levee except water tiles also get +1 hammer). Alas, we don't have a coastal empire which would show how much this building usually rocks, but Levee's are in general awesome. That Diplo victory vote looks scary, but us + Toku (who abstained) is more than enough to block victory. Keep spreading Hinduism to (our) every city if it hasn't happened already. I don't think Toku will ever vote for anyone. Be prepared to build a war machine if Toku gets conquered, however! So I think tech goals right now are Steam Power (Dike), Biology (+1 Food on Farms), Communism (power up those workshops/watermills and reduce maintainance), Astronomy, Corporation, Assembly Line (Factory).

deconduo Ireland4122 Posts May 02 2010 14:00 GMT #133 Incredibly boring set of turns from me, almost all of it was tech trading. Overall I picked up Rifling, Steam Power, Communism, Astronomy, Corporation, Divine Right, Biology and Steel. Started off hitting enter a lot of times, first interesting thing to happen was discovering coal near Timbuktu. Nice free hammer boost. Next thing was researching Steam Power, and trading it for Communism, Divine Right and Corporation. Communism gets researched and I switch to STate Property. Our negative gold at 100% goes from 260 to 158, another nice research boost. After building a dike in Timbuktu, Oxford is recommended. Theres a load of Towns around it, and a build time of 6 turns, so seems like a good idea. Finall, Biology gets researched. I trade it for Astronomy and Steel, and end my turn. Save: [url blocked]

deconduo Ireland4122 Posts May 04 2010 05:09 GMT #135 Oh yeah, I did. Forgot to write it sorry.

Spenguin Australia3316 Posts May 04 2010 12:48 GMT #136 bump I really want to see how this is progressing, this game is fascinating

Eben United States769 Posts May 05 2010 18:40 GMT #137 Reading this is addicting, more turns!

ZaplinG United States3818 Posts May 05 2010 19:08 GMT #138 I am doing finals right now too Please skip me.

Thratur Canada917 Posts May 05 2010 21:53 GMT #139 I will play tomorrow EDIT : Okay, so I played my turns, and even though I mostly just pressed enter all the time, some fun stuff still happened. My favourite building these turns were definitely the Observatory (for observer speed upgrade) and the Factory (for tanks of course). I start the game and there already is a diplomatic victory vote, where I vote for myself of course. Holy shit this is scary. Gilgamesh got so much votes. Assembly line kicks in, ready to be traded, and ready to make me able to build some factories. I then head for Artillery next, because everyone loves rocketry, no? I will get physics from Suleiman (forgot to screenshot) and these 2 useless techs from Gilgamesh. HOLY SHIT WORLD WAR. LEAVE ME ALONE! I WANT TO STAY OUT OF THIS! Seriously... Artillery kicks in, let's head for rocketry to show the world how powerful we are! My turn started with a diplomatic vote, it ends the same way, and it has similar results. Overall our research rate increased by a lot, I got 5 techs total, a huge war started and, of course, it was fun! Save : [url blocked] PM sent to narri

narri United States55 Posts May 08 2010 13:20 GMT #140 I have played my turns, report under construction. Let's just say I made a few....acquisitions... in my turnset!
