I will have to ask for a skip for my next turns, my PC is rebelling against Civ 4 and I've only just got it to boot up again since the beginning of the week, work unfortunately stopping me from spending much time earlier. It still won't run Civ 4 though so I've got some more messing about to do with it until I can play.

turn 7 continued
set troops to move to Baghdad

IT
nothing

turn 8
Sala has turned one archer into Longbow in Baghdad. No other changes visible. MOve troops.
Set science slider one notch higher: construction in 3 instead of 4 now

it
nothing

turn 9
move troops into attack position next to Baghdad. Sala has upgraded another archer and sent in a spear. Now defended by 2 longbows and 1 spear, we move in 10 axes and an archer.
Sword and axes show up next to Najra

Sent in melee upgraded axes and against axes (70% win chance) we lose, 0.8 left
axes against sword: we crush sword
chariot vs weakened axes: we crush them as well.

IT
more troops show up on our border, nothing to worry about.

turn 10
We have construct. I set tech to feuda but we can change that. Just need to get the attack on B done and save.

Attack B: We lose 7 axes, but we own it now. 122 in compensation.

Save will be uploaded soon, need to transfer comp for that.

Woop

Ive found that if you go on an intense pillaging of the AI lands they are more willing to give you techs as you are still damaging them but not leaving them in a crippled position so have some way of getting back.- if that makes at all sense.

Regarding tech extortion I too can say that it is between difficult and impossible in civ 4. Regarding research: we should always do 100% or 0, because we lose points from fractions rounded down.

If we take a chartiot, we could raze that bronze SE of Baghdad. My guess (fwiw) is that that's his only bronze.

BCLG100 · 20-08-2006, 13:25

im glad im not the only one that still regularly refers to it as bronze

Looked at the save again, seems in my hurry to take Baghdad I forgot some things:

1) NE of Najran lies one more city. Before we press enter and end turn we should take a chariot from Najran and sent it in to investigate. If it's defenses are weak we can use the troops in Najran to take that as well
2) Tlatelolco needs culture Damascus is creeping up. I started the library but it maybe be better to rush it. Further study of Tlat shows we can rearrange workers to get +2 food and grow again.
3) SE of Damascus is another city. Teotihuacan has a chariot in it we can use to see what kind of city that is and how it's defenses are.

Other observations: green territory suggest Sala has 4 cities left
1) Damascus
2) Mystery city NE of Najran/Badgdad: we can investigate with chariot
3) Mystery city SE of Damascus: we can investigate with chariot
4) Mystery city NE of Damascus: too far away to safely & quickly check out

Should we able to take 2 and/or 3, we'll be 8/9 cities and sala left with 3/4. Should be easy to outproduce him quickly and relieve him from his misery. Cathy has 7 cities. With 8/9 we're at least up to par and not so easy a target. If we can take her down in a few wars we're we chip away at her cities we should be able to rule at least our continent.
