Jack Merchant - Aggie part 3

Aggie · 17-08-2003, 12:49

Unlike the 3rd part of the Godfather, this will be the best version of Aggie - Jack Merchant! I'm sure of that [

].

We play a continents, easy deity game (two settlers). We made tech stealing extra difficult and also agreed upon limited use of Military Alliances (against a human player only one alliance can exsist every time). I'm Germany and Jack is Spain.

My start (thanks to Skyfish, who made the map!):

Well, here's my start again:

Turn 92:

The world map. Jack beat me to it, but he didn't take full advantage (he couldn't know). So I have the map and a couple of techs as well:

Turn 200:

We didn't post that much in this open thread [

]. Meanwhile we both entered the Modern Age, it's 850 AD now. Jack, how the heck did you get in the modern age this fast?

Skyfish · 15-09-2003, 11:18

Wow ! That's nice and fast....must have been very few wars

Lt. Killer M · 15-09-2003, 11:25

or lotsa wars, Sky, pointy stick is still the best way to learn secrets.....

Aggie · 15-09-2003, 11:32

I was in three wars up to now. Two vs India, who didn't play a role in the tech research and one vs Persia, but wenever really had a fight (they wanted a tribute, I declined...7 turns later we have peace again).

Jack was at war with Persia just recently, but the Ottomans and Greeks still managed to research very fast. And remember that we have 4 scientific civs: Germany (me), Greece, Persia and Ottomans. And four commercial civs: Spain (Jack), India, France, Greece.

The AI didn't have any wars at all for a long time!!! Only now the world ganged up against India.

I threw everything but the kitchen sink at getting into the modern age, meticulously micromanaging everything under the sun, selling off all non-essential infrastructure, disbanding a whole lot of military to speed up construction of revenue-increasing improvements. When those were done, I put all cities on wealth (which means a good amount of money in your GA). Finally, since Aggie set up the entire planet against India, I was able to screw them over for about 200gpt without it affecting my ability to buy tech just yet.
After all, there's only one tech in the MA that's really interesting

. Think 640gpt and 500 gold will do the trick ?

We await Aggie's turn for the outcome.........

Aggie · 15-09-2003, 13:43

Hmmm, sounds interesting

Aggie · 15-09-2003, 16:05

Turn 201:

I have it, despite Jack's previous post:

44.17KB

But I am surprised about Joan in the vote. How did SHE get there? [
