Swimmingpool spoiler
8 players started the swimming pool game about a year ago. The map is an archipelago-map, where everyone seems to have an approximately even start.
The players involved are: kryszcztov -- he likes theodora, and took the byzantines anarres -- he chose the dutch... the best tribe in this game probably... grrrr beam -- hittites, brave sir beam tries it with the 3 man chariot, which sucks banzai -- portuguese. carracks. if we ever get to astronomy he portuguese might become powerful, until then banzai's skills have to compensate kemal -- kemal chose the inca. kemal has not lost a single PBEM game and went agricultural. eldakkar akots -- akots chose carthaginians. Not agricultural, but everyone wets his pants if he drops those numidian mercenaries. They say he is a good player. arghis -- scandinavians. arghis tries with the berserkers. he will never get there if i can help it. eldakkar -- chose iroquois, the only non-seafaring civ, but i get the MWs This is a overview of my empire in turn 74 41.03*KB and a minimap 4.11*KB and a picture of my home island: 91.24KB What's the plan? I'm almost done expanding, since most cities on the far away islands are corrupt. So i'm planning a blitz attack on arghis. Preparing the attack Two cities are already maximized for mw production (Cactus Pete and Valhallen) , and my settler factory San Marco will also build barracks and mw's after he completes his last settler. Meanwhile the cities of Point Spliff and AllAntesareIn will start building galleys to transport troops. tThe city of Sabel has been strategically built to act as a harbour to put my troops in 1 turn distance and hide them until the attack. Timing the attack The iroquois scientist are currently researching the repulbic like madmen. The goal is to have it in turn 88. The average period of anarchy is 7 turns which means I can launch the attack in turn 95. The Iroquois army If all goes well, there will be at least 17 MW's ready to strike, when I hit anarchy. 6 galleys should be ready by then. I'm taking just one spear with me in the current plans. If I find that Arghis has solid defences than some more spear should be built to protect the MW's. Diplo I have currently friendly relations with: Anarres -- peace until turn 150 (!) Beam -- part of the triple research alliance Beam-Banzai-Eldakkar Banzai -- part of the triple research alliance Beam-Banzai-Eldakkar Kryszcztov -- peace until turn 100 Kemal -- luxury trade dyes vs furs Demographics Currently I am leading with a small difference in the important demographics categories mfg goods 1) 45 (eldakkar) 2) 42 3) 42 4) 31 1) 80 (eldakkar) 2) 75 3) 63 4) 63 |
