Thanks GA, for setting up our game :)

I'm Celts and Gogf is Sumerians.
My plan: REX, [charge] with Gallics and finally kill Gogf :D

Here's my start:

What did you do to deserve THIS start? [mouth]
Did you send GA a case of Canada Dry?

Ville

Ville

Granary and worker built next turn.

The Clan: Settler
Braveheart: Warrior

Ville

11-06-2005, 15:41

I have Iron. Mongols are in NE, not SE [eek]

Ville

11-06-2005, 20:11

Captured Karakorum. Founded The Clansman. Pic coming later.

Ville

13-06-2005, 13:59

Settler factory rolling and I can start building GSs too in 3 turns [happy]

Octavarium founded, London captured->England destroyed, 2 turns and I have 4 warriors around the last city of the Mongols

Pastorius

19-06-2005, 16:34

Ville, you should play a game vs Killer ;)

Ville

20-06-2005, 09:41

Mongols destroyed, writing researched, map making started, I want contacts!

Ville

23-06-2005, 20:35

I pwned them all! Now the continent is all mine! Bad side is that I had to trigger my GA but OTOH I can build about 10 settlers during it.

I researched The Republic and I'm now in Anarchy. I'm 1st in land area and points :D Screenshot after I'm out of Anarchy...

Ville

26-07-2005, 22:02

I'll post the screenshot tomorrow. Got to Gogf's continent with my suicide galley. I would have to spend 1 turn in ocean even with Great Lighthouse, so early attack is out of question... That would cost too much, I'll spend more in temples, libraries and marketplaces. :)

Ville

27-07-2005, 21:04

My small empire has improved a bit from last screenshot I see ;)

I had 2 Gallics in my Galley. When I saw Gogf's capitals area, I decided to have a try, it worked perfectly. [happy]

Ville

06-08-2005, 09:08

I'm following Gogf's techpath as much as I can to get thopse dirt cheap techs and getting 100+gpt while doing 4 turn research. I'm 1 tech behind him.

Ville

06-08-2005, 16:11

Gogf sent Caravel and I'm sure it's not empty ;) I have 4 knights following it if it won't land units next turn.

Ville

19-08-2005, 17:44

I'll post a screenshot next turn.

I'm getting techs 1 turn before Gogf, so I basically already have ToE and Hoover Dam [happy]

Took Atomic Theory and Electronics, and I'm getting Hoover Dam in 9.

Ville

23-08-2005, 20:42

Industrialization researched, Hoover in 4. Replaceable Parts in 5.

Ville

25-08-2005, 17:56

Hoover Dam built and Replaceable Parts got, The Corporation in 3 (I'm getting +gpt with 4 turn research again [happy])

Pastorius

29-08-2005, 09:38

HEHEHE. So, what kind of world domination scheeme are you working on that involves total obliteration of Gogf?

Ville

29-08-2005, 15:54

I'm currently building factories and with Hoover Dam, my production is boosted pretty much. I will produce huge amounts of artillery and infantry, then bombers and tanks. Also nukes would be fun [mischief]

Ville

11-09-2005, 21:03

Nothing important to report, I've railroaded everything except some tundra forests in north. Also, I have 1 turn artillery factory in The Bloody Satanic City :D

Pastorius

12-09-2005, 09:08

Nice name. [groucho]

Ville

04-10-2005, 20:59

I have a plan that will be known as Operation Abbath and soon after that I will launch Operation Horgh [mischief]

Operation Abbath:
I will bring my navy to other side and transport full of marines will capture one city in the other side.

Operation Horgh:
I will also bring over 10 transports full of cavalry, infantry and artillery (and possibly tanks) . Unload them to the city and steamroll with help of Gogf's railroads [happy]

Ville

13-10-2005, 17:30

Operation Abbath and Operation Horgh succeeded, only 1 of Gogf's inner cities was saved! [happy]

No pics before I get PSP back...

Gogf

13-10-2005, 17:40

Nice job! Wow, that was pretty final. Should have thought to defend my innter cities a bit :p.

Congrats!

Pastorius

14-10-2005, 12:37

Congrats dude

Rik Meleet

14-10-2005, 13:57

Maybe Gogf can post pictures if you can't ...

Pastorius

15-10-2005, 10:31

Yeah. Gogf, please do :)

IMO, things sounded rather even for a long time, so a little summary of what you did right/wrong would be alright too - so as to compare your strategy with Ville's

I didn't read that until now :p. I don't have any sceenshots on hand (considering that I'm on my Mac and I'd have to go digging through my PC to find the game).

However, I can say what strategies I think worked and what I did wrong.

- Conquer the continent too late. Of course, GA had said that the game was on Emperor, or possibly Monarch. It turned out to be Regent, which nobody noticed for a while.
- TOE prebuild. I forgot about palaces, so I assumed Ville had no prebuild.
- Defense. I assumed that by heavily guarding my coastal cities I could stave off any marine attack and force him to land. I could then bring in other unit by rail and pound him with arty. He brough a ton of marines though [and might have bombarded the city], and so he took a coastal city and then just ran amok along my rail network by attacking undefended cities with cavalry.
- Early defense. He did take my capital early on. That certainly wasn't helpful.
- No clear path to victory. My only strategy was to attack Ville military after building Hoover, or potentially go for space race. After I lost TOE/Hoover, the only chance I had was to out-tech him (which was unlikely because he got two free techs), or to try to go for a culture win.

I'd say that's about it.
