ERIKK vs anarres 2 - SPOILER
I expect ERIKK to go for a Spaceship win, and he is probably about 30 turns away (maybe less).
I have to go for domination I think, as Persia is scientific and I will not be able to catch up (even though i have a slightly higher tech rate, according to the F11 screen). At the moment I am researching ecology, then synthetic fibers. I intend to upgrade a couple of hundred tanks to modern armour. I currently have 8 tank armies and 2 spare empty armies, and I expect to build another 3 or 4 before I get MA.

You want domination by just finishing the Otto's or do you plan to take some of ERIKK's territory as well?

I think I have to take some of ERIKKs territory too. I hope it's not too much though.
I expect ERIKK to be going for Mech Infantry, as he is probably expecting me to attack. I just hope I can get enough MA first! It will be interesting to see how ERIKK uses Radar Towers. You have to sometimes put them within reach of the enemy, and if the attacker (me) can get to them and destroy them it makes taking the city that much easier. The key is working out how heavily to defend them, whilst leaving enough defenders in the city. This attack may call for Radar Artillery...

I dont think there's enough land to achieve dom without some of Erikks land.
I'm looking forward to this. A real modern war. It will be interesting to see how balanced Civ3 is between attack and defence in this situation. Erikks strategy only makes sense if he believes he will win the space race. He must be relying on his defence. It will be interesting to see how he intends to withstand Anarres attack with MA. Will we see nukes flying??

Although I have a good powerbase, ERIKK is at least 1 complete tech ahead of me. I will have to attack within 20 turns to have any chance of stopping him launching, if indeed he is not building his own army to attack me.
What I really need to do is find out how many tiles there are to get the domination limit, I can always know my own muber of tiles by the F11 screen, although I will have to check out the multiplier for land area to tiles. (Somehow 1346 tiles seems too much...)

Wow. I hope that I never have to play you 1 vs 1! Just build up enough guys, maybe get a spy in Persia if you dont have one yet. If possible, you could save up enough money to try to sabotage production in a city making a spaceship part. Hopefully, he wont be in anarchy. Have you tried to go for the Internet wonder? Or Longevity? Those two are very good wonders, and you could probably benefit greatly from them.
Btw, you dont really live in Iraq do you? |

Here is the diplo from turn 259:
anarres says: so, we gonna have another treaty of soem kind? anarres says: or not? ERIKK says: sure ERIKK says: what are you thinking of? anarres says: hmm anarres says: let me think anarres says: first, ERIKK says: ? anarres says: do you want ecology? ERIKK says: I have it ERIKK says: 5this turnb anarres says: ERIKK says: yup anarres says: so that's at least 1 full tech you are ahead... ERIKK says: great! anarres says: cos i have seen your MI!! anarres says: 50+ in a stack ERIKK says: got lots of 'm ERIKK says: well? anarres says: 2 mins please ERIKK says: k ERIKK says: 20 turn non-agression maybe? ERIKK says: but, errmmm, what is a non agression worth if you are ginna attack anyway? ERIKK says: it seems inevitable anarres says: who says i am attacking? ERIKK says: you tactics seem offensive anarres says: ERIKK says: with these cities and roadings.. anarres says: my tactics are sensible whatever i eventually do... anarres says: it has to be an option anarres says: but an *option* ERIKK says: that is an emptey statement anarres says: i know ERIKK says: so? ERIKK says: lets have a peace agreement but you must pillage that rails ERIKK says: i dont like it anarres says: eh? anarres says: you should have said that when i *started* roading them! ERIKK says: bla bla bla! anarres says: sell me computers? ERIKK says: you have loads of workers ERIKK says: for how much? anarres says: dunno, how much do you want? normal pricing is nonsense now, it all depends on what *we* think it's worth... anarres says: so, suggest something? ERIKK says: i dont know ERIKK says: you must research modern armour and give it to me when you have it ERIKK says: a gentlemens agreement anarres says: that tech is more to research... ERIKK says: yeah, a bit more expensive ERIKK says: I will give you some money ERIKK says: but as you said prices dont count anymore ERIKK says: it is a tech for tech IMO ERIKK says: that is what counts now anarres says: do you have other techs? ERIKK says: That is classified info ERIKK says: I am not gonna tell you, sorry ERIKK says: if I have one, i will not trade it anarres says: if it's tech for tech i ant a more expansive one like fission... anarres says: k ERIKK says: ok anarres says: ? ERIKK says: I will research fission anarres says: no, sorry ERIKK says: you give me modern armour for fission anarres says: only if you had it ERIKK says: computers is expensive too BTW anarres says: otherwise i could research fission which is still cheaper and let you research synthetic fibers... no worries, we can do our own research anarres says: lets forget the idea ERIKK says: ok ERIKK says: I will research modern armour myself then ERIKK says: and you too! anarres says: so, how about 20 turns peace from now? ERIKK says: ok ERIKK says: form 265 anarres says: but... ERIKK says: 265-285 anarres says: i'm fed up with the treaty ending after my turn has finished!!!! anarres says: *every* time ERIKK says: it ends in your 285 turn anarres says: so i'd like the treaty to finsih after *your* turn this time please ERIKK says: sure ERIKK says: you want a first strike! ERIKK says: hehe ERIKK says: anarres says: i'd like the *chance* for it, whether or not i use it...

Damn smilies are missing!
 I am 10 turns from Synthetic Fibers, and 7 from Computers. 20 turns is just long enough to get the techs I need for an attack, and hopefully not long enough for ERIKK to get nukes as well as Synthetic Fibers.
