  • A Recently Recurring Nightmare

    The Indians have Gunpowder and are researching Metalurgy (and they are). Before we can accumulate the ground forces (or bribery gold), they have City Walls around their cities and Musketeers inside them. It will take us 2 sessions to kill them off.

    Just as our mighty Vet Ironclad Fleets are approaching the trembling and panic-stricken coastal cities of the Babs and Carths, and just before the Indians are eliminated, they discover Electricity and give it to the Babs or Carths.

    We have the GL. I assume you can guess what would happen?

    EEK!

    That turns our ironclads into destroyers, making them next to useless against the cities. They are also wiped of their veteran status, I think..


    TIME TO TURN TO DEMOCRACY!!!!!!!!!

        Nope,

        As they discover it it becomes obsolete, so we wont get it from the GL

        And the one or two destroyers the Babs and Charts send out we can kill easy.

        But I suggest we send our clads over now and start kiling units right away just to make sure they dont build any.

          I don't understand your statement. Our Ironclads won't upgrade until *we* "discover" electricity. But as soon as we get a tech advance after electricity is discovered by us (GL), our Ironclads *will* upgrade to non-vet Destroyers.

            We wont get electricity from the GL becouse it expires when the first civ discovers it.

            We can only get it from a conquered city, but this is easily avoided by taking the whole coast in a single turn.

                atawa has the right idea. Move quickly to secure all coastal cities. Let them have electricity! We can steal it, it's not as tho we are concerned about our reputation anyway. As for AI musketeers, we will just need to build cruisers.

                    and nobody asks himself how its possible for an AI to get that many techs so fast+accompanying units(we have leo's they don't......)

                    I'll start thinking of plans to make our quest for global domination easy and swift...

                      just saw a piece of a docu about the Inca's and European conquistatores...and it reminded me of something:
                      the first weapon europeans always have used was of biological nature, bacteria and viri to wich we are resistent killed millions of ppl even before the troops started arriving, why isn't there something like that in civ2...whipe out those Indian defenders without even using troops, just send some explorers through their territory

                        Because "infected blankets" and "breathing" aren't trade goods in this game?
