SG3-Monarch Can't Hold Me!

[Twinkletoes89]

One thing from looking at the save!

Trade with Genghis for Incense (use a surplus health) as that gains us 4 happiness in our cultural cities which will always be nice!

[Gold Ergo Sum]

Also, build wealth anywhere that we can reasonably get away with it. And probably best to run binary culture, but who knows. Would have to crunch the numbers.

As for happiness, it is probably irrelevant at this point. Running the cultural slider means our Legendaries are probably +20 happy already or something

[Nakor]

Will do so! Great job, Tatan.

EDIT: Won't be able to play today, will likely be tomorrow. If I can't make it, TT can take over for me.

[Nakor]

I won't be able to play untill Monday night. TT, if you want to go first, please do so!

Ok, haven't heard from TT, so I'm giving it a go now!

[Nakor]

T270: Ended.

T271: Iron deal with Cyrus is over, back to 70% culture. Incense for cows with Ghengis.

T272: Traded Frigates with Ragnar.

T273: Another Frigate trade with Ragnar. We need better boats... 4 spy's this turn and 3 GP born...

T274: Kill one of Ragnar's Galleon's.

T275: Peace with Ragnar for gold, world map and 5 gpt. Gives us another 10 easy turns.

T276: Burn a GA in both Bibrace and Tyr. Just for fun! Not much else happening.... Ragnar wants us to join him in war... uhm... nope....

T277: Toy with the idea of building a city ON the Iron north of Scapegoat... You have to do something...

T278: Ghengis asks us to join in the war... uhm... nope. We don't have an army...

T279: Ghengis wants OB to reach Brennus. Sure, buddy!

T280: Steel is in! Set research to Steam. Great Merchant is born, what to do with him? Settler build should we decide to settle Iron.

Here's the update on the Legendaries. We got a GA in all of them to speed up the date of victory!

[Twinkletoes89]

Good job Nakor, I'll play my set soon

[Twinkletoes89]

OK guys, we should reach victory at the end of the next set!!!

T280 - Signed Defensive Pact with Cyrus. trade Liberalism for 600g to Genghis to try and keep him happy

T281 - That worked... Genghis demands Democracy too. Oh well fair enough. Merchant in UP sent on Galleon to cash in in Genghis territory

T282 - Up to 100% culture

T283 - City of "Iron Ore-ful" founded.

T284 - Artist born in Bibracte. BRENNUS HAS INFANTRY!!!!

T285 - Great General born for GK

T286 - GK wants steel for Mil. Science - no thanks!

T287 - Artist born in Tyr. Use 2nd Artists in Tyr & Bibracte to bomb so they catch up with GV. BRENNUS FOUNDS MINING INC

T288 - Volcano erupts at TT's Gambit :-( - why not Pompeii? Lose 2 mines.

T289 - Trade mission with GK nets 1900 gold - probably enough to run 100% culture to the end.

T290 - BRENNUS MAKES PEACE WITH GK

Ok, I think you can make out the key points from there! Glad Cyrus gave us a DP as it means we'll have someone covering our backs if/when Brennus comes after us. His army is strong and highly advanced - but we only have a few turns left before we win so we should be OK.

Pictures:



Our new city - isn't it wonderful?



9 turns to go - and that's without the single Great Artist in each city which probably makes it around 4-5 turns to go. Glad I did the bombs as it was looking more imbalanced.

So who has the honours of finishing the game?

[Gold Ergo Sum]

Kyan can, otherwise I will.

[Nakor]

And who is going to do it?

[Gold Ergo Sum]

If I get home tonight and Kyan hasn't grabbed the save, I will do it.
