Adv 44 by Krill (Incomplete Shadow)

[Krill]

So, I got bored while waiting for a few PBEM turns and played out most of this game a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, I don't have the autosaves to go back and take screen shots from, and I never take notes, so I'm doing this almost entirely from memory.

Started the game, saw the food, and decided to play it out as a proper OCC game for as long as possible. As it turned out, got as far as rifles before I started the attack, and was never fighting anything more than maces.

This game isn't a fair comparison though, because I got lucky and popped iron and hence got to use cannons

Built henge for fun, just to make sure I got the cultural edge, 2120BC.

Miss out on Oracle for CS, Pacal beats me @ 1640BC.

Get ToA 1600BC

Get a GS for an academy 1360 BC.

GLH 1160BC

At this point a load of wars start breaking out, but I'm sitting there with 1 warrior and a few archers quite happy. Couldn't be bothered with a HA rush (done it enough times in the past).

Adopt HR and OR 775BC (going off the end of game play back for these dates, heh)

Parth 725BC

GM 700BC (add to city)

GL 450BC

225BC, GS.

50BC, GProphet

350AD, Pyramids (As I said, got bored...)

600AD, GM

740AD, GP

1070AD, declare war on Korea with a stack of rifles and cats (slow bombard down)

1080AD, Maya and Aztec declare on me, fine, I can do with the XP...

1090AD, France founds Islam, making every religion on our continent.

1180AD, take out Korea.

1220AD, declare on Russia and take him out.

1230AD declare on Byz, Mongols declare on me.

1270AD, capture Constantinople

1330AD, capture Paris from maya

1360AD, capture babylon from Byz, destroy byz (because of AP pising me off and making my cities unhappy).

1410AD, get Lib (by accident, forgot to stop at 1 turn away). Took some junk tech.

1470AD, capture Mutal from Maya

1480AD, capture Madrid, destroy Maya.

1530AD declare on Natives

1535AD capture Persepolis.

1555AD, capture Cahokia

1595AD, capture Mound city

1605AD, capture Chaco Canyon, destroy Natives.

1625AD declare on boudica (last civ on the continent).

1630AD capture Tenochtitlan

1635AD, capture Delhi.

and then I basically got bored and stopped, as I had just discovered arty, and was fighting grenadiers. I had a massive stack of cav, and a load of cannons that were about to get upgraded (or perhaps just were). I had plenty of land, and could easily win either SS or conquest.



Note, basically everything in the army got produced from Uruk which didn't have teh HE, that got placed in Koreas old capital along with Moia. I played the game as if it were going to go to conquest.

Did you pop iron,then?

I've been guilty of missing obvious things before, but it's right here.

Shame you got bored, Krill, but it's happened to me (and probably everyone). You were doing quite well, though.

I've still got the save game if anyone wants to play it. It's just that it is identical to all of the other conquest victories that are out there: build galleons, move everything over, and kill. A trained chimp could do it.

I took out Korea, Russia, France, Babylon, Byz, Maya, Spain...basically everything up to Persia with cats then trebs, plus rifles/cavs. Cannons weren't necessary, and then I got arty...popping the iron was unnecessary.
