Adventure 60: AT is slow.

[AutomatedTeller]

This was a fun adventure. I didn't do so well:


Tokyo 315
Beijing 315
Constantinople 322
Gergovia 331

For a total of 117 points, well behind the leaders.

My basic plan was to get bombers and paratroopers and take Tokyo->Constantinople->Gergorvia with those while the stack of upgraded Medieval stuff waded through the cho-ko-nus.

That worked fine, though I missed several turns when Beijing expanded unexpectedly, and probably spent too much time prepping.

Tokyo fell easily to a stack of paras and bombers and then the paras jumped out to attack Justinian. the first assault didn't work, so I was forced to walk in and then jump a larger group, which worked fine.

Then I spent a bunch of turns prepping for Celtia - probably more than I needed, to be honest - I declared, she came at me, I cleaned out her stack and jumped in. I had a ton of bombers and paras and there was really no way she could defend it. It was definitely overkill.

Went pretty fast - I played in in one afternoon, which is probably reflective of my score

What? you want some pictures????? Detail???

well, I didn't take enough pics, but I'll try to recreate.

I built basically no infrastructure - I set my civics pretty early to:



My thoughts here was to pick the mil civis - Police state made coal plants less necessary and XP is always good, plus I knew I'd make a lot of units, so unit support was useful. If I had thought about it, I might have added slavery and done some whipping, but I didn't.


My tech path was:



Radio (for bombers), fascism (paras and the GG), Mil Science (for mil academies - I built three, which, added with police state, made coal plants unimportant). I got 7 GG total - 3 for academies, 3 for GG points, one was not used (i got it late).

I actually played for some time after I took gergovia, to give Boudica a chance to surrender, because she could conceivably have taken the city back (not really - I had 20+ 2 and 3 promo paratroopers there and I bombed anything that came near.

I definitely took too long preparing - I should have hit everyone faster.

Much fun, though.
