Adv 48 - Late Amelia

[Amelia]

Well, i'm tired and so on and i need a rest, but i figured i'm late, so might as well post a bit before i get more late.

Let's see the start.



Reminds me of Sirian locking up some people in adv4 heh. Anyway, here's the real start.



Horrible, lol. I completely forgot about Globe Theatre and National Park when i started out, and although i've played a few more games with this, since this is what my first game is this is the game i'm going to show.

I have like 50 over pictures, but i'm sick and tired so i can't put all of them up... so here's a few.

2 Pictures showing how successful my wars were.





Did i say successful? I meant unsuccessful! Suva just threw in like 5 Pikes per turn, along with all sorts of Junk. I killed a lot but at last the attack stalled out.

Also, the entire continent was Buddist apart from me. For some reason I totally forgot to change to it. I was under the impression that no one spread it to me yet.

Anyway...



I have the tech for Infantry. I have the Pentagon. I have 2k gold in my coffers. I'm unstoppable! I have like 10 Muskets at home, with some rifles/infantry returning from the war. I have a lot of settled GP, a super good city.



=(

Cut that short when Shaka turns up with 20 Artillery, and about 40 Rifles. 20 Infantry just couldn't do anything and were slaughtered. I had stack attack and quick defense off, so i watched in agony as he attacked, attacked, attacked.

Attacked. attacked. attacked. After like 15 battles, hey maybe i can hold this off for one turn? I had enough GPs for a Golden Age, one Infantry finishing next turn, could draft.

Attack, attack attack... How many does he have?

Attack, attack, ok i'll go take water first.

Come back and got that screen.

So anyway, my score is officially negative something, since when i lost my last city i instantly unknow all the techs i guess =)

Wait a minute, did i record the only loss in the tournament? Urgh ><

I played a second game almost immediately after this, with a lot of changes (But still no coastal). I was doing ok... until Charlegmene came in with Carriers and Jet Fighters and sat there happily demolishing all my tile improvements, which my 4 workers couldn't do anything to fix. Hannibal launched because i couldn't get the life support built =(

My final try finally won, but not by much. About 5 techs.

Nope. Two other recorded losses.

No, I share the pain.

That was some really bad luck with Shaka, though. I think it's actually usually better if he attacks earlier, when he has less units [and so you can rush enough units out].
