[17:45] SMC's probibly a breeze with RR's now... [17:45] i'm sure it is better now, though the war will rquire quick deciisons those aren't so bad [17:49] Its going to be hard on me nort being able to control units after next chat, I've been in charge of the military either legally or defacto for about 4 terms now [17:50] E_T will have a similar challenge, I think. ;) [17:50] i agree it will be hard not to want to change a thing here or there in the cities [17:50] Double checking now. I have 352 Lytons of needed rushes that I need to plan for turns 4 & 5 [17:50] but at least I get control(unless thud returns for the attack), [17:51] question do cities we take next chat go on my ARc de triumph [17:51] Yes, It will be hard. My beutiful cities will belong to someone else. [17:51] we will paln accordingly [17:51] several people, if they get this RA thing back up & running.... [17:52] I say give 'em to Aggie :) [17:52] I'm double checking now [17:52] We've been fortunate to have an ex-SMC as Pres, with Thud's difficulties [17:53] thank you togas [17:54] i actually counted on that when thud ran [17:54] i figured he didn't care much for the job, justed wanted a dia to have it [17:55] Oh, a Request for Unit movements during the chat. Could you move the Explores & settlers to Oak Ridge? [17:55] yes inded I will [17:56] you can do it know in your save if you want to get the feel of smc [18:04] save is uploading [18:05] alright [18:05] in which thread [18:07] in the chat thread for today [18:07] the one you posted...

[18:20] 4 tyrn endable [18:21] 12DM is very ready to go [18:21] 4 turn ending in 10 [18:21] 4 turn ending in 5 [18:21] are there any FAM things? [18:21] 4 le tme see [18:22] 4 no fam to do [18:22] * mrmitchell has quit IRC (Quit: ) [18:22] I'm reading his orders now, too. [18:22] 4 turn ending in 5 [18:22] ok [18:23] I thought that the MPP poll was done? [18:24] 4 the mpp polls were voted on and passed [18:25] is arnie dropping in later? [18:25] Who is the FAM rep for the chat? [18:26] E_T -- Don't think there is one [18:26] 4 he said he would be here early but have to leave bu 0z, so i guess he can't make it [18:26] Arn asked me to serve once, but didn't request I do in this case [18:26] just the Pres then. I'm ready now.... [18:26] and the FAM deputies seem to be AWOL [18:26] 4 ok turn ending in 5 [18:26] 4321 [18:26] 4 ok turn ending [18:26] Yeah [18:27] too bad he didn't have any decent FAM deputies [18:27] Good deputies is what made my long FAM administration go so well [18:27] He might be able to make it, but much later, Family Gathering from what he said in his post [18:27] I feel bad about it too, but I couldn't do the full time job he wanted (trade dep) this turn [18:27] *term [18:27] axtecs want tm for tm [18:27] sounds fine [18:28] see if we can get some cash out of the deal [18:28] 4 they'll trade tm+5 for tm [18:28] take it [18:28] Oh, btw; Togas -- Got your PM and acknowledging it here (could send one back, but it'd be a waste of space for the both of us, so :)). [18:29] 4 rome enters outterritory in force [18:30] ack - with what? [18:30] what [18:30] * Aspiring_RA is now known as dejon [18:30] dont do ANYTHING [18:30] 4posting save [18:30] in force?! :) [18:30] post the save and let us look at it. [18:31] we might be signing MPP's before this turn is over...... [18:31] I love excitement :) [18:31] There might need to be an executive decision to stop play if Rome's attacking in force [18:32] grab Iriq, Russia, & Baby. [18:32] good thing we have the authorization, or we would be stopping right now.... [18:32] I mean, we'd probably want to hold off on the other MPPs... [18:32] Though Aggie, E_T, and Togas could always order an exec. veto on the MPPs if it were necessary [18:32] If necessary, true. [18:33] Oh, come on -- we've gotten a chance to play with impeachments, tied elections, judicial review -- Veto is the one toy we haven't gotten to use yet :D [18:33] Seriously, though, it might be an important consideration later [18:33] Fron the 1220 asve, they have MPP's with England & Japan, no one else. We should include them, to help annul those pacts if attacked [18:34] 4 we won the race to elect [18:34] E_T, do you think we should MPP with Rome? They might accept that. March their forces through us and onto someone else. [18:34] Let's do Replaceable Parts! [18:34] it wwould be annuled if they attack us [18:35] Yes, waht's the times for both SM & RP? [18:35] I don't even know if the AI would attack us if we're in MPP. I've never seen or heard of that level of betrayal [18:35] we can get them in 5 with +19, or 4 with -248/turn [18:35] them what? [18:36] 4 i mean rp [18:36] waht about SM? [18:36] let me check [18:37] 4 4 turns at +19 [18:37] Replaceable parts [18:37] any less %, but it looks good, go for RP [18:38] 4 the roman force looked defensive 2rife/2leg +m another rife [18:38] 4 starting wf [18:38] 5 turns for RP then 4 turns for SM, well within the window for ToE [18:38] where is the save? [18:40] still no save [18:42] Where did they come in? [18:42] must be either Hole in the wall or Dijon [18:43] Aggie, where is the save [18:43] Not Dijon!!!! Rally the troops! Kill the Romans! [18:44] I don't know, I dont have the save. [18:44] Wait, Dijon borders the Russians, doesn't it? [18:45] 4 did the save load [18:45] 4 wf done [18:45] no save [18:45] 4 reposting it , stupid poly:) [18:46] trying again [18:47] 4 the troops are near HIW [18:48] 4 starting pw but will make sure save post [18:53] 4 save seems stuck at end, can i send it to somebody here directly through mirc [18:54] I don't know how to do that [18:54] let me load my e-mail program and you can mail it to me. [EDIT] REMEOVED ADDRESS [/EDIT] [18:55] it loaded this time actually [18:55] the problem is that it can screw up the Civ game. Netscape & IE/Cive don't get allong well.... [18:55] i understand that [18:56] I'm ready to get the e-mail... [18:56] then I can repost it for you [19:00] 4 the save post was succeesful this time, but well do that next time [19:01] k [19:01] That's enough to take Hole i t Wall if we don't send forces. [19:01] (even though they're defensive units) [19:02] I do suggest that we do. ANd form the Army up.... [19:02] we have rails. We can send any number of units instantly. We should send several riflemen and a cav or 2. [19:02] We should send some Cannon, Cav & Rifle to HitW [19:03] We should send the Army to Avignon [19:03] I absolutely adore railroads. Other than when my GA, the period where I finally get and build railroads is my favorite to play out [19:03] Wife is home - going out soon. Kick some Roman or German butt! [19:03] If our Rails get cut, that whole section is only accessable via Jeruslaem to Arcadia [19:04] loading save now [19:05] I'll look at some FAM stuff, but I think that we should wait to tell them to go. It all depends. If theysend more forces, it will be a skeet shoot.... [19:05] 4 still doing pw [19:06] loaded & looking [19:08] Okay, gotta go. Have fun and good luck. [19:08] a Vet & Reg Rifle, & 2 Reg Legion at Hole #6, one Reg Rifle at Hole #15. We have some russians on the border, too [19:08] looking at FAM [19:08] * dejon has left #civ3dem [19:09] Whoa, India will give us a LOT for Elect [19:10] FUrs, Corp, WM & LOTS of money [19:10] China is in ghe Industrial Age now [19:11] So is Persia [19:12] Yes, we have beat EVERYBODY to Elect..... [19:13] Whao, Rome will give us a TON for Elect [19:14] o.k.this is a possible plan [19:14] We first trade with India for COrp, furs, WM & Money [19:15] then we start getting some people lined up for MPP's, starting with Japan & ENgland [19:16] We include Greece, Iro & Russia. That will succure our southern flanks. leave babs out, we don't want Rome to possibly overrun them [19:17] then we trade the techs and really get a grand colition [19:18] then we let Rome make the first move, draw them in until it gets to a point where that area might get cut off and then we tell them to go home. If they declare on us, the Mpp Wars will start and we get the added happy from it [19:18] What say everybody, Togas, Ada? [19:20] Hello? [19:20] hello almost done, a cat spilt water on me so that slowed me down [19:21] ah [19:21] sorry. on phone. idle :/ [19:22] look above [19:23] back.... [19:24] do you want to do MPPs first, THEN tech trade? [19:24] wait. s orry. see it [19:24] 1) Tech trade w/ India [19:24] 2) Sign MPPs with Rome's allies [19:24] 3) Sign with Gre, Iriq, Russia, ... add in Aztecs [19:25] 4) Further trade/sell techs. [19:25] depends on cost, it goes up with the more that you add [19:25] Sounds fine. We may need to trade techs as a part of the Grand alliance creation, but the plan looks OK to me [19:25] that's the deal, and drain Rome dry [19:25] Aztecs are more important allies than Iriq. Rome will eat Iriq alive. [19:26] Sorry [19:26] Was away for a few [19:26] BUT if we are concerned with Rome attacking, I'd like Russia & Iriq to distract Rome. [19:26] What's up? [19:26] it's just a few turns eairlier than Arnelos would have liked, but we'll be secure [19:26] I like signing them earlier anyhow. Will allow us to get out of war w/ Germany sooner [19:27] plus it would allow us to get out of the Mpp at an eilioer time [19:27] :b [19:27] echo [19:27] 4 doing smc orders like moving units to hiw dejon [19:27] specifics to follow [19:29] First Trade suggestion: 3India: We give Electricity, they give Furs; Corp; WM; 31LPT & 106L [19:30] we want to got for as much cash on had as possible, that way we still have made somethingif the renig on the deal... [19:30] good deal [19:31] I'll consider it done and got tothe next one.... [19:31] 4 done all except fam [19:33] next suggestion 3Japan: they give us WM; 7LPT & 93L for MPP [19:33] * Trip has joined #civ3dem [19:34] welcome the first p[res [19:34] Hi Trip, Rome is Invading [19:34] hey ET [19:35] Aggie, did you do that first deal? [19:35] heya Aggie [19:35] not very populated in here anymore huh? [19:35] but it's half-hearted. Mostly defensive units. I think they see our empty cities and not our railway lines [19:35] 4 i move 10cal and 14 cannon+2more rf to border cities near rome and also suggest we upgrade muskets there [19:35] good deal with Japan. [19:35] 3 so what is the firat fam deal [19:35] Let's look at the FAM stuff before we do any upgrades [19:35] we should use cash from these deals to upgrade muskets at end of turn. [19:36] agreed [19:36] yes [19:36] scroll up [19:37] I'm considering Japan a done deal, going to the next one, England [19:37] Aggie, India then \JApan [19:37] alright doing now [19:39] England is LPT Broke, suggested deal:3England: they give WM & 31L for MPP [19:39] that takes care of Romes current Ally's [19:39] good [19:40] I'll consider that a done deal too. [19:40] Looking at Greece next [19:41] 4 trade elce to india for corp,fur,wm.106g, 31g/turn [19:41] 4 do we trade elect to jap or mpp [19:42] just do Mpp for now [19:42] ok [19:43] 4 are we sure we want mpp with jap [19:43] yes [19:43] it's starting to get a bit expensive, Greece wants Elect, WM & about 154L for MPP, I suggest paying in as much LPT as possible [19:43] if rome declares on us, japan will back us. we keep silk trade. [19:44] good pooint [19:44] gotta keep that silk trade going. I need my special imported silk boxers ;) [19:44] Aggie, If we go to war with Rome, and we want to take it into theur territory, we need to have all of Romes MPP's annuled by our own. Japan has an Mpp with Rome [19:45] togas, Greece, what say you? [19:45] :b: [19:45] worth it [19:45] 4 we are now aligned with japan they paid us wm,7g/turn 93 for it [19:46] 4 next [19:46] and I agree, do Greece with as much gpt as possible. [19:46] see if they'll take gpt deal only ... maybe they're just trying to stiff us for elec. Will they take corp? [19:46] yes since we are n for the penny in for the pound now [19:47] o.k, suggested trade with Greece: 3Greece: We give Elect; WM; 8LPT and 10L (or less) for MPP [19:47] 4 do you want me to do eng first [19:47] Greece already has Corp [19:47] Yes [19:47] England fiorst [19:47] let's do gre first. [19:47] Will cost less [19:47] right? [19:48] or is the gre price independent of the eng price for Mpp? [19:48] 4 eng deal done for all their gold+wm for mpp [19:49] don't know, I'm moving ahead and getting the real specifics for the deals, after I get the o.k. for everybody else... [19:49] sorry i saw the argument aftr i did it [19:49] np [19:49] let's sign with gre [19:49] looking ar Russia now [19:49] Gre & Aztec more important towards our ultimate goal: Germany. [19:49] * roadcage has joined #civ3dem [19:49] Plus, if russia goes to war with us, we easily take their city in old france [19:50] then hold them off at the chokepoint [19:50] i really don't know if we need mpp with greece, an alliance aginst germany yes but if rome attacks and they mess with us we will just wipe them off the map [19:50] Aggie, make sure you give LPT and little cash [19:50] we're too vulnerable to greece right now. I'd rather not see that front opened up [19:50] we still need to work on Germany, this is really the last opertunity before Tanks [19:50] 4 very well doing greece now [19:51] they are beconing nicer to us.... [19:52] 4 do we trade tm to greece it cuts the cost to 9 fro 10 a turn [19:52] Russia want Just Industrialization (or Elect), they have no LPT for compensation [19:53] give 'em elec. [19:53] 3Aggie, Elect, WM, 8LPT & 10L or less [19:53] aggie -- yes [19:54] Russia still needs coal [19:54] what if we give them coal instead? [19:54] 4 they want accept that they will accept elec,tm,9lgpt [19:55] 4 for mpp with grece [19:56] go ahead. it's chump change to us. [19:57] 8LPT & 10L is cheeper in the long run (Equal to 154L whereas, 9LPT is equal to 162L and is actually 180L) [19:57] looking at Russia with coal [19:57] 4 greece gave wm and mpp for tm,elec,8gpt,12g [19:57] their wm didn't chance things [19:57] before we do anything with russia, sign with aztecs [19:58] btw, do the russians have cossacks? [19:58] 4 whats the deal with aztecs [19:58] * flash9285 has joined #civ3dem [19:58] sign mpp with aztecs [19:58] yes they do and they are near the biorde togas [19:58] * flash9285 has left #civ3dem [19:58] checking, we need to secure our south first..... [19:59] Aztecs is more important than Russia. We can handle Russia. [19:59] Russia wants over 900L for just coal, so we should go with the Tech [19:59] loet me look [19:59] waiot for a moment [19:59] I'd like a RoP with Aztecs, but I don't think Arnelos ordered it. :) [20:00] 4 aztecs want WAY too much for mpp, i say we only do alliance later [20:00] how much? [20:00] at least 50gpt [20:00] yuck [20:00] Dyes, Steam, over 1000L [20:00] ok. pass on aztecs. Lousey native american bastards.... [20:00] too much [20:00] is russia next [20:00] yes [20:01] Ind or elect, which one? [20:01] elec [20:01] aztecs would give 19 for dyes [20:02] heck, as I think about it now ... perhaps we should let aztecs side with Germany and sieze old america in the process. It's not well defended. [20:02] 4 now to russia [20:02] o.kl, suggested deal:3Russia: we give Elect for MPP [20:02] deal is fine by me. [20:03] I say that Indust is a cheeper valuue [20:03] we get more for our tech [20:03] but better tech [20:03] that way, we get more for Elect [20:03] elec is really a stepping stone, and we'll get to the next step first, so it gives them no actual benefit. [20:03] 4 so which is it indust or elect [20:03] your choice Mr. President. :) [20:04] damn. I need to head out. Done at work. Need to get home. [20:04] yes, but they cxant use the Indust, because they have no coal [20:04] 4 russia mpp/wm for mpp/indus [20:04] Will try to catch some of the chat at home. [20:04] going to dinner tonight w/ friends, so I won't be on too long. [20:04] 4 whats next [20:04] Look forward to the results of the chat, guys. Go kick some ass. :) [20:05] can we sell elct to germany for cash, not a gpt of course [20:05] we will [20:05] Iroquois, that will have Rome Booxed in [20:05] sounds good. :) [20:05] See you guys later [20:05] * Nimitz has joined #civ3dem [20:05] heya nimitz [20:05] catch you later [20:05] hey [20:05] in a bit, lets get the Mpp's out of the way...

We have used WM already, so it's kind of whoring it.... [20:11] your the FAM Rep desigmate,..... [20:11] 4 actually we haven't used wm yet [20:11] we used tm [20:12] 4 mpp with iriquis for san,steam,wm,6gpt,12g [20:12] who the FAM sub me or some one else [20:12] 4 whole map almost mapped out [20:13] 4 now what for trades [20:14] 3suggested trade with Rome - Renegoteiate DYES: They give 460L; 113LPT; WM for our Dyes & Elect [20:15] what year is it [20:15] I suupose you are, Aggie was until you got here. It's 1230 and Rome has entered our lands/ [20:15] we have gotten elect first [20:16] we have furs & corp & money from Indis [20:16] ok things are not going to plan [20:16] 4 making roman trade [20:16] 4 in 5 [20:16] 4 in 4 [20:16] 4 in 3 [20:17] 4 in 2 [20:17] we have MPP's with Romes ally's of England & Japan. we have aditional Mpp's with Greece, Russia & Ioquois [20:17] 4 in 1 [20:17] trade made with romans dye/elect for 460+113gpt/wm [20:17] 4 trade made with romans dye/elect for 460+113gpt/wm [20:18] we are continuing to tech out and maybe get more MPP's [20:18] * Trip has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [20:18] looking at Zulu [20:19] get all you can [20:20] don't they have an embargo against us [20:20] do we want to be attacked in our terrictory first or attack them first [20:20] suggested trade with Zulu: 3Zulu: they give 12LPT; 30L; WM MPP for Elect & Corp [20:20] well we would rather not have rome attack but if they do it has to be in our [20:20] No germany [20:21] 4 do we want mpp with zulu I would rather not gte involved in other wars that could distract us from germany [20:21] NO nto if it drags [20:21] us into other wars [20:21] and we soake them for LPT for a few turns, until it's gets to bee too bad, then we tell him to leave and he might declare. then it's all of them against Rome [20:22] we can get thesame deal for corp [20:22] 4 without the entaglments [20:22] it woll help secure our gems, when they become available again, and the 31LPT that we are already getting [20:23] otherwise, Rome might use them against us (or Germany for that matter) [20:23] but do we ant the other wars [20:24] are they at wwar [20:24] 4 still they could bring us into one ogf their wars say agains india or somebody else, then we would lose the india gold, I'd say lets do the basic [20:24] Shaka really has nothing to bring to the war [20:24] i agree [20:24] yes [20:25] but the loos of Lux to Rome (or Germany) [20:25] hello roadcgae [20:25] still its worth it to avoid extra wars, my fear is an mpp that drags us into it and takes us away from germany [20:25] Shaka has more gems than he can possibly sell. There will be some left when it's time [20:26] It's not that, its that it will effect them greatly with the sudden loss of the lux [20:26] i agree with mpp to prevent rome form doing somehting because those actually could help us and we can gain something, but these oversease really bring little to the table except japns [20:26] Believe it or not, we really do not need to inflict much pain on Germany. Just the shock of all their lpt deals going away will take them out of the hunt [20:26] then we do an embargo when the war starts [20:26] Germany will lose it when we cut him off, but will get it back as soon as we take Berlin [20:27] can't if they are trading with them [20:27] they wont take one [20:27] i say we determine this between chats and just domthe corp deal now [20:27] Yes [20:27] what is the corp deal? [20:28] o.k., you are the designated rep, the same roadcage [20:28] just without the MPP and giveing them elect, too [20:29] whats the color for orders [20:29] It also means that Rome might have them ally against us.....like we care, but we might need those gems when the embarge is lifted [20:30] blue [20:30] k [20:30] If they go to war with us take it [20:30] nimitz is a FAM deputy..... [20:31] you an't get a MPP while you are at ar [20:31] war [20:31] then when germany is over crush the zulu [20:31] no don't take the MMP [20:31] taker the lose [20:32] o.k, just do the Corp deal Aggie [20:32] of the gems [20:33] * Nimitz says yes [20:33] * aggie2 has joined #civ3dem [20:33] here i am again, my dial up cut out [20:33] * Nimitz says yes [20:33] do the corp doeal Aggie, with no MPP.... [20:33] 4 what are we deciding also i did zulu deal [20:34] what a moot point [20:34] so what was the specificas of the zulu doea? [20:34] 4 zulu traded corp for 12gpt+30g,wm [20:34] k [20:34] sounds good [20:34] do we want MPP with China? [20:35] They bring nothing to the war [20:35] 4 we are at 1707 and I have adjusted slider to %100 to get rp in 4 turns we are losing -124 [20:35] no but can they give us anything for elec [20:36] we need to upgrade units, why don't you move all of the muskets un uber to AGC & boomtown then do a mass Upgrade? [20:36] 4 sounds good but lets see the rest of the fam first [20:36] nope, nothing elce for China. going to next... [20:37] germany will give us all money 315 for elec [20:37] do we wanr MPP with Persia? [20:37] nope, [20:38] do we got all the big boys on the block [20:38] We hope Germany get's Persia so they will go away [20:38] nothing for Persia then, germany is getting off cheap, let him get his tech from someone else and pay them in full.... [20:38] hehe [20:38] 4 good call et:0 [20:39] What I meant is Persia will surely not survive this war if involved [20:39] we can't get Aztec, but togas & Aggie were o,k, with that [20:39] 4 rp in 4 turns changes strategy for war since sartillery can be upgraded the first turn [20:39] while the clavary moves [20:40] what if we go to war with Rome, we loose more LPT [20:40] we shold go with 5 turns [20:40] plus it will cost a bit to upgrade 23 or so cannon.... [20:40] Actually it moves D-turn forwards 1 turn. Bombardment begins on same date as before but simultaneous with the isolation [20:41] and we have those 2 rushes planned... [20:41] * aggie has quit IRC (Ping timeout) [20:41] I say its worth a risk if we do we do lose it down the road, we can always pull the slider back to get it at the origianl time we will make more than enough [20:42] and at a loos for the time we had it for, It might be at the last turn. We can cycle in the Cannon [20:42] but if rome backs down we will get it,remeber even with the lose per turn we end up ahead of where we would have before the elct trades [20:43] 4 i see a chance to clinch victory and we can sell rp to our allies to pay for cannon upgrades [20:43] I would rater be a bit more conservative and handle this a bit more delactley and that requires keeping it at a positive income [20:44] if necessary [20:44] lets do fam first [20:44] don't we want to hord RP for a while, I'm for the myself [20:44] 4 though i think that is almost done [20:44] FAM is done [20:44] The brass ring is in sight. Do we have the moxy to stretch for it? [20:45] we can horde it, remeber we will be no worse off than we would have been without elec [20:45] not at negative 124 and a possible further loos with Rome's 126 (total) LPT [20:46] There really isn't anything magical about 1260 ab [20:46] if rome attacks then we just go back to what we were doing, we get it the same turn we would have, the money won't be wasted because the extra science now wil let us pull the slider back further [20:46] and it we have to lower it and go for 5 turns % rate, then we'll have gambled big and lost a LOT [20:47] it's a better Win,Win the othe rway [20:47] no we will still have the same amount spent we will just have front loaded the sopending [20:47] Aggie is right. You only loose on beakers when you change what you are researching [20:47] Do the Upgrades and we'll see waht are cash situation is [20:49] iot's not changing the tech, but chanting the rate. I'm all for going at a negative, but not that BIG of a negative [20:49] The only risk I see is so many civs fighting, somebody could get a GL and steal US from us [20:50] * danq has joined #civ3dem [20:50] hello [20:50] hi [20:50] hi [20:50] demogame going good [20:51] so, the loss of US is better than lossing ToE or Hoover, but waht does that have to do w\ith the rate of tech research [20:51] Pretty well [20:51] to upgrade all the musk is 880 so I will upgrade on border with germany and rome [20:51] well i dont want to hinder you game ill be leaving [20:51] helo and wleocme danq [20:51] Nothing. It's just the only risk I see in our entire situation [20:52] * danq has left #civ3dem [20:52] Aggie, we might need all of the forces upgreaded, do them all, we have the cash, or are you more with getting that tech than having full defencive capability now [20:53] 4 those muskets than need upgraded were upgraded, i left one on friendly mpp borders and uber [20:53] * Togas has joined #civ3dem [20:53] any wars? [20:53] hey togas [20:53] we will also have to spend on upgradein rifle to Infantry. We NEED the Money for that [20:53] we're still in the same turn [20:53] since I left?! [20:53] still in the same turn [20:53] wow [20:54] lots of arguing [20:54] MPP's with Greece, Russia, Iro, Englgan & Japan [20:54] well we are debating whether or not to go full bore and get rp in for with ~125 gold turn lose or to go 5 at about 125 profit [20:54] we skipped getting them with China & Zulu [20:55] Yes, our cash situation will require that each turn we upgrade only those units we will be committing next turn [20:55] either way makes since I just have these visions or artliiery shelling germany in turn 2 and us having a cake walk [20:55] we can upgrade all of our muskets NOW and have money left over with a nice income to have money to upgrade the rifles to Infantry & connon to Artilary [20:55] Can we afford to lose money for 4 turns? [20:56] not if we upgrade all muskets we are at 1500 now [20:56] I say no, especially if we have a war with rome, they are paying us 126LPT now [20:56] sounds like it will cost us 500g (net 1000g with the loss of income) to get it a turn earlier. [20:57] better just accept that we'll get it later... or start the war with Germany 1 turn later ;) [20:57] but we will have a secure military [20:57] We will know about Rome soon enough. Have we told Caeser to take a hike yet? [20:57] no, we wait and draw him in and soke some cash off him first [20:58] if it gets to a point that we tell him to go and he declared, then we can easily destry the forces [20:59] it will but the timing allows us to upgrade cannon to artillery that first turn then usethem to shell stuggart [21:01] 4 ok after careful consideation we will go at 5 turns since that will allow us to upgrade all musk. [21:01] good [21:01] breithes sigh of releaf [21:01] 12I'm ready to go, as soon as the ugrades are done [21:02] 4 all musket upgraded now we have 827g and make 145 [21:02] 4 turn ending in 10 [21:02] 4 turn ending in 5 [21:02] our militayr is strong and will be stroonger still/ [21:02] 4321 [21:02] I'm going for a smoke [21:02] 4 turn ending [21:03] * E_T is now known as E_T_1 [21:03] When will Abandonment be founded? [21:03] D-2 [21:03] 4 persians come up to renog sp geal [21:04] Instant temple, then 5 we don't want to take Stuttgart before D+3 [21:04] I was going to have it at -1, because of the German Rails already present, but the issue of the new stutgart, I have to rush a temple, so it goes up 1 turn eairlier [21:04] get as much as you can [21:05] The temple has to create 10 culture [21:05] I'm going for smoke [21:05] 4 for dye/ion/sp they pay 13gpt, is that ok [21:05] * E_T_1 is now known as E_T_AFK [21:05] yes [21:05] waht about just the Dye [21:05] It's all they got. Be happy they are still around to pay anything [21:05] sure [21:06] * Nimitz says yes [21:06] if it's 5LPT more than with just dyes, it's o.k. per Arneloses orders [21:06] Could somebody recap the mpp's? [21:07] Japan, & England, currently have MPP's with rome. also Greece, Iroquios & russia [21:07] 4 not much happened rome legionary move north w of HIW, more troops cam in [21:09] more troops? [21:10] 4 one more rifelmove into our territory [21:10] 4 uploading save [21:10] good [21:11] 4 starting wf, but will see if sav loades [21:13] ah nicotine..... [21:13] more to destry later [21:14] * E_T_AFK is now known as E_T [21:15] 4 save posted [21:17] loading save now [21:18] sorry [21:18] I went away for a bit [21:18] brb [21:18] can anyone give me a quick update? [21:19] MPP's with Japan, England, Greece, Iro & russia sold elect for lots of money, tech & furs [21:19] we are just in 1240 now [21:20] ONE turn done [21:20] 3 hours. :( [21:22] back [21:22] a lot of debate and doing FAM... [21:24] Ouch [21:24] Sounds like it was productive, though [21:25] we are at 5 turns (4 now) to getting RP. we have ALL of our Muskets upgraded to Rifle [21:26] suggestion: Why don't we railroad to the border with Rome. Bring in an explorer, and take a 3 tile look around at Rome to see if they're upto anything [21:26] 4 good idea togas, wf done doing pw [21:27] my PW schedual is very tight for the next few turns [21:27] RR SW of HitW one squre [21:27] wait [21:27] you can spare 2 workers ;) [21:28] not with the factories going up, besides, the explores will only lose 2/3 move [21:28] 1/3 to the border [21:29] the deeped penitration of our territory to Rome's has one Roman Rifle on it [21:30] I'll see if I can try to post a screenshot oif the area [21:30] I'm loading corel draw now [21:31] I could post a screen shot. :) [21:32] good [21:32] I'm still trying to get coreldraw to lead [21:32] load [21:33] oh, right, your at home now and have the game up. [21:33] right [21:34] the problem is that the next several turns, the PW is working more on the areas that are supporting the factory build, to get them done quicker [21:35] I've got several teams our cutting trees, then mining & Railing afterwards [21:36] we have 60+ workers, right? [21:36] I might be abler to release the workers that will be railing an Irrigated tile at Arcadia, but it won't grow as fast withoutit. [21:37] 4 still doing pw [21:37] your dedication is frightening [21:37] :) [21:37] truly friegtening [21:37] I'm trying to get as much done before D-turn and I hand over some workers to the SMC [21:37] :), but good to have on our side [21:38] he's on MY side for the PTW game ;) [21:38] yes indead.... [21:38] I hope we don't frustrate him too much :) We're a bit silly over there in Spain [21:38] but I wont have the game for a wile still [21:39] What, frustrate Senor Iwana Eta Tamali, never..... [21:40] I just wish that i've had more time to post over there more that I have [21:40] After this term you will [21:41] We'll I might be SMC, but that's mostly in the planning, implementing will be done during chats... [21:42] I have a HUGE STACK of honeydo's that I have to go through.... [21:43] honeydos? [21:43] no, rith now, if I had pollution in the forbidden city, I would have to wait until between turns to do it. Closer to D-turn, I can be a bit more relaxed withPW [21:44] honey do this, honey do that.... [21:45] Well, Otto bought Elect from somebody, he has 0 cash and the tech [21:46] good [21:46] ah [21:48] CR*P, I forgot last turn to see waht Japan would pay for Elect, they have it now. Rome is the one who made the sale, tooks like it [21:50] 3the dye renegote with India gives us more, 19LPT & 30 L & WM [21:51] sorry318LPT [21:51] 318LPT [21:51] 3 this stupid thing 18LPT [21:53] good, Persia has some money [21:55] communisum or steam or medicie: we can only get 6LPT & 5L from Persia [21:55] commie [21:56] let them go commie [21:56] there is a bit of a discrepancy in Arneloses orders [21:57] he wants 10LPT for Ind era techs but he specifially had the 4LPT income loos from persia and say see what can be gotten for tech, that will get that back [21:58] fron his orders:- Persia stops giving up 4 LPT (for a techsale) on this turn. See if we can give them anything to make up for the lost funds. [21:58] but they can only pay 6LPT [22:00] 4 all pw done what now [22:00] The SP renegote with Russia will have to ride, they don't need it. same type of deal as the Incense with Rome [22:00] FAM [22:01] first Arneloses orders 3renegote Dye with India for WM; 19LPT & 30L [22:02] also from his orders:3let Saltpeter deal with Russia ride [22:03] 4 dye to india for wm,30g,18gpt [22:03] we have the one last thing, from his orders, the 4LPT from Peria [22:04] we can sell them Ind tech and they can only pay 6LPT, but that's under the 10LPT that Arnelos has set [22:04] 4 lest let it ride then [22:05] the 4LPT was for a tech deal 20 turns ago, they have been broke up til now [22:06] Iroquious will buy tech, and in Arnelos's range [22:07] ok [22:07] they can only pay 10LPT; 8L & WM for either Elect of Indust [22:07] or [22:07] gtg bye [22:07] * Nimitz has left #civ3dem [22:09] 4 doing deal with iriquis for indust for wm,8,10gpt [22:10] 4 now what [22:10] that's it [22:10] 4 i see no rushes is that correct [22:11] correct, not until turns 4 & 5 [22:11] and we have noo upgrades [22:11] 4 turn ending in 10 [22:11] 4 turn ending in 5 [22:11] 4 turn ending [22:12] Aggie, I suggest a blocking force to keep the Romans from moving onto the Rail at DHole [22:12] I need a real image program. MS paint is P*ssing me off. [22:13] I'm loading Corel draw now [22:13] I suggest a significant show of force down there and then ask them to take a hike [22:13] My GF had to fix the image for me. Took her ... 5 seconds. Took me 5 minutes to get the thing sized :/ [22:16] 4 uploading save, more roman troops and 1 cossack entered our land [22:16] cossack too?! [22:16] 4 oh yah iriouis are building sufferage [22:16] yes [22:16] this is getting serious, I think that we need to tell rome to go home [22:17] that will take care of Russia for next turn [22:17] Be sure to show real force like 20 odd cav on the rail line [22:18] does that really matter? [22:18] 4 doing wf, yes very serious but ALL defensive still [22:19] it's the industrial equivalent to an archer rush..... [22:22] I've see the AI use Riflemen a LOT [22:22] loading save... [22:23] they seem to confused them with offensive units... [22:23] don't they have horses?! [22:24] a stack of 7, a stack of 5, two separete ones in the trees and an stack of 4 just over the border. [22:24] I gotta see this save... [22:26] 4 wf almost done [22:27] Yes, frome someone if not home grown [22:27] mixed Rifle & leagion [22:30] wf mostly done except for dm quesstions [22:32] still doing pw [22:32] posted another screen shot [22:32] have to head out to dinner in 2 mins. [22:32] Do we want to demand that the Romans leave or not? [22:32] If so, I'd like to be here to see it :) [22:32] Do they pose threat? [22:32] I say yes [22:32] take a look, Ada [22:32] :) [22:33] If we have more than one gang up it will be a disater [22:33] I will in a few minutes :) [22:33] How will the MPP's play out if we demand and they Declare in our territory? Especially Jap & England who are on both sides? [22:33] They may be moving to Arcadia [22:34] with both Rome & Russia in our territory, I'd rather have the all go after Rome [22:34] If they declare on us, I THINK we win out. [22:34] I know we win out if they attack us. [22:34] As long as we stay in our lands, until AFTER they MPP's are envoked, we are o.k. [22:35] true [22:35] I gotta know if we're going to war with Rome before I go have dinner :) [22:35] The GF is in the bathroom right now brushing her teeth ... time is short [22:36] Without giving it a second thought, the Grand Duke decided to take a carriage ride [22:36] I can check on my game and private channel you.... [22:36] I could check on my game too (have it loaded up) but I'd best not [22:37] k. [22:37] oh well. She's ready to go. I'll have to find out upon my return. [22:37] Good luck, all [22:37] Ok -- Later Togas :) [22:37] :) [22:37] * Togas has quit IRC (Quit: ) [22:39] Ah Benito, why did you have to go and do that? [22:43] we're looking at some CP things [22:45] * Apoc has joined #civ3dem [22:47] hi Apoc, wanna fight Julius? [22:47] Are we at war with them or something? [22:48] I looked at a few screenshots and they seem to be threatening. [22:48] Could be eminient Large stacks in our lands [22:48] I remember almost exactly two months ago when the Aztecs kept moving units around and I thought they were going to march on us. [22:48] I was wrong of course. [22:48] and looking like more on the way. we are letting them come to us and we will destry them [22:50] I miss being VP. [22:50] The second half of the two main turnchats I did were rather fun. [22:50] Largely because I got 5 techs in trades and we were only 1 tech from the top when my term was over. [22:51] Both of them started off a little slow though. [22:51] we'll Arnelos might still need a VP and we will be having war soon [22:52] I hate moving units in times of war though. [22:52] I hate moving units period. [22:52] It takes a long time since I like to check and make sure I am moving them where the orders say to move them. [22:52] And sometimes the orders are wrong so you also have to check to see if they make sense. [22:53] too bad we don't have WS yet, we have over 1000 Lytons on hand [22:53] Apoc, we have all Rifle now, no Muskets [22:53] One time Aggie ordered a galley to go into the sea accendently. He meant east instead of west. Nothing bad came of though since I was on PW orders at the time. [22:54] I remember upgrading pikemen to muskets. [22:54] and we'll b e upgrading to Infantry in 3 turns [22:54] and Artilary [22:55] I also upgraded 5 knights in 5 turns. And then I couldn't upgrade any knights for another 5 turns. [22:55] So I rushed a few buildings ;) [22:55] 4 all pw and wf done [22:58] I'm looking at FAM now, I think that we shoul do any deals before we tell Rome to leave... [22:58] 4 i did upgrade a carvalel to gallion [22:59] good call [22:59] hello apoc [22:59] Heya Aggie [23:00] * Kloreep has joined #civ3dem [23:00] Hi. [23:01] Heya [23:01] Hey Kloreep [23:01] Anything new since Togas' update in the thread? [23:01] hello klorkeep you missed out first tech whore ina while [23:01] no FAM but telling Rome to go home [23:01] nope not really but we'll tell rome to leave after fam is done [23:02] We got electricity before them? [23:02] Woohoo! [23:03] the Army will have it's day very shortly [23:03] Hopefully not against Rome. :( [23:03] it's been formed frome the first that Rome had come across the border, 2 turns ago [23:03] I don't suppose Rome is at war with anybody? [23:04] sure, a gaurantiedd victory against leagions [23:04] Stupid question, but I have to ask. [23:04] everyone is at peace, for the moment [23:05] * Apoc has left #civ3dem [23:05] wI say that we fight a defencive war. the time ing if almost perfice, because of d-turn and the additional happyness from them declaring [23:05] 4 i moved troops to make a wall against rome [23:06] o.k. [23:07] though if there is war with rome lets attack brundisim just to take a city [23:07] have the knights ready to go after legions, too [23:07] yes we can gl again [23:07] only after the others have declared on them [23:08] very true thats why i put trops so they have a target:) [23:08] 4 is fam ready to tell ceasar to go bye bye [23:08] lets tell them to leave [23:08] 4 WAR [23:09] Well, at least we get to cut a power down to size, even if it isn't Germany. [23:09] 4 moving additional forces to region [23:09] 4 I'll move a longbow for them to attack [23:09] Cannons [23:10] we don't need our Cav too messed up before we go for otto [23:11] 4 if we attack this turn do we lose the mpp , ie do they need to attack first [23:11] we can attack them on our land, now. we just cant invade then until next turn [23:11] they are on our land [23:11] let me open up with cannon first [23:12] 4 do you want me to post save at this point so you all can fire along [23:12] leave the ones in the trees for next turn, so they lose the bonus [23:13] if you wish [23:13] 4 sure [23:13] posting SAve [23:13] If you do, I'm going to have a Cig while you upload [23:14] * E_T is now known as E_T_Having_a_Cigarette_AFK [23:18] Wow [23:18] War with Rome [23:18] lol [23:19] and we'll be able to start on HE, too [23:19] * E_T_Having_a_Cigarette_AFK is now known as E_T [23:19] Lucky we're on 1.21. With some luck, the AI will attack with mainly defensive units. [23:19] ah, it's a kool 68 outside [23:19] since we want them to attack us i will leave at least one unit good there, also has rome had there ga [23:20] we attch them [23:20] on our land is o,k, [23:20] for this turn [23:20] 4 move all cannons to hiw [23:20] 4 save uploaded [23:21] 4 also move rifleman to nw,n of HIW into city [23:21] 4 everybody ready to rumble [23:21] they have Shakes & JSB, is that enough totrigger a GA [23:21] good, also russia could get one soon if they haven't [23:22] I doubt either wonder is Militaristic, so no wonder GA. [23:22] I forget whether they ever went to war earlier in the game. [23:22] as soon as I load [23:23] Russia has Loe & Smiths [23:23] Russia definitely hasn't had a GA, then... [23:23] loading, but you can commence firing anytime [23:24] All the more reason to drive through to Moscow. :) [23:24] Russia is our ally, via the MPP. It will take effect next turn [23:24] 4 fired all the cannon strongets unit is a 2/4 rifleman [23:24] Cav [23:24] It would be great to have Leo's for upgrading all those Riflemen. [23:25] WE WANT OTTO [23:25] Oh. Heh. Never mind then. [23:25] I'll be quiet now. :) [23:25] ok attack with calvary a 2/4 rifleman [23:26] 4 calvary retreats no damage done to rifleman [23:26] we have 18 turns of MPP that we can use aginst Rome, so we deal with Otto and then take a Roman City [23:26] are you usig Elites? [23:26] 4 not yet i was saving them for the 1/4 or the legions [23:27] k [23:27] 4 unit showing is a legion, do i use the elite calvary and go for a gl [23:27] Use Army [23:27] 4 good point [23:28] 4 we have victorious army [23:28] and then have it return to Avignon [23:28] YEAH [23:29] 4 legion showing will attack with calv [23:29] no, Knight [23:29] 4 ok that makes sense [23:30] 4 we win with 2 hp lose but no gl [23:30] better luck next time [23:30] 4 other elite knight attacks legion too [23:31] 4 no hp lose but no gl eithewr [23:31] 4 now showing is 2/4 musk [23:31] 4 attacking him with elite calv [23:31] we'll, he is full streingth [23:32] 4 no hp lose but no gl either [23:32] Aggie actually gets to play with the units that he used to command only by proxie last time [23:32] 4 now a 1/4 rifle, and will attack with another elite calv [23:33] 4 its gGREEEAAAAAT [23:34] 4 we won but no gl [23:34] only elite we have is a sword should i use him against a 1/3 rifelamn [23:35] for a second ther, I was thinging that youwere saying that we had a GL, but I realized that you were responding to what I had said... [23:35] 4 it woiuld have been sweet [23:35] save him, [23:35] ok will attack with calvary [23:35] we need to see if we can get more elites [23:36] 4 stack is now gone, i sugeest we let the other stack come up against cannon before attacking it [23:37] do we have more cannons? [23:37] we should [23:37] 4 yes but i like them at newyork in case germany takes advantage of the war to attack [23:37] bring them and the 3 rifle that were blocking and fire frome Hole #5 [23:39] then take out the other stack, leave the ones in the trees [23:39] 4 the cannons each did 1 hp on the riflemen in the stack [23:39] Cav [23:40] yap good point [23:41] 4 calvary attacks with no damage to roman but retreats [23:41] 4 thank heaven for retreats [23:41] send the wounded bak to Hole after your finished [23:42] 4 i'm actually sending them to seeberg, but the same idea, our calv jsut got killed, no damage [23:42] we lost one? [23:42] 4 make that 2 [23:42] * Arnelos has joined #civ3dem [23:42] hey [23:42] hello [23:42] war with rome, eh? [23:42] 4 welcome to the roman war arnelos [23:43] yes, they have lost 7, we just lost 2 [23:43] we have a vicorious Army [23:43] * RedBull has joined #civ3dem [23:43] * RedBull has left #civ3dem [23:43] victorious [23:43] 4 keep attacking [23:43] lol [23:43] yes, kill that stack [23:43] 4 and we have mpp with the whole southern continent so war is total [23:43] um.... a war just started... why hasn't the chat ENDED? [23:44] still on the war declared turn [23:44] it just did, what can be debaited [23:44] 4 we are attacking the intial force [23:45] ok... we were not planning to actually play through the war declare turn, though... correct? [23:45] 4 calv wins no lose of hp, I would say we go into next turn [23:45] why not, I see no reason to halt. [23:45] woah... what's going on here??? [23:45] MPP's??? those require senate authorization, don't they? [23:45] it's not an emergency. [23:46] the bill passed [23:46] 4 the attack is not a significant threat, yes we did the ones authorized [23:46] The bill passed for MPPs with ENGLAND, GREECE, and AZTECS -ONLY- and that was for war -vs- Germany [23:46] 4 and i am well able to sub for the SMC [23:46] Are there CP changes that we shouod consider? [23:46] the alliance bill was for alliances VS GERMANY [23:46] The mpp's were done before Rome declared [23:47] only for Hole. we fight a defencive war. Rome will be very occupied in a turn ot 2 [23:47] which MPPs have been signed? [23:47] But we really do need to..."Take it to the Forums" [23:47] my impression was that the chat would END when the war started... [23:48] 4 attacked stack of 3/3 legion with clav, calv retreats [23:48] It should end before the turn so we can plan [23:49] agree with roadcage (this SHOULD be obvious) [23:50] TAKE IT TO THE FORUMS [23:50] leaving chat bye [23:51] 3 we destoyesd stack with no more lses, but we did have a retreat. [23:51] * roadcage has quit IRC (Quit: ) [23:51] 4 we destoyesd stack with no more lses, but we did have a retreat. [23:51] yes, but they are MPP's that we signed, not alliances. they will work against Germany just as well [23:51] I have no prob with playing this turn, but I agree we should stop here. The initial attack has been destroyed; now the senate should decide where we go from here. [23:52] I personally agree we should continue against Germany as planned, but a few people in the chat shouldn't decide that. [23:52] and we NEED Senate approval for the necessary alliances versus Rome... to go forward would be utter idiocy [23:52] o.k., move everybody [23:52] 4 i would say go to next turn to see if romans attack and trigger mpp, that way we know the situation [23:52] 12FAM -NOT- ok to end [23:53] ending the turn gives Rome time to declare alliances AGAINST US [23:53] we shouldn't give them that chance [23:53] 4 arnelos we simply conducted defensive action and since theere is nothing we can do I suggets we end turn and then save at the VERY beggining of the next turn [23:53] Arnelos has a good point. [23:53] I understand the defensive action. That's fine. I do not understand ENDING THE TURN we said we weren't going to play anyhow [23:54] that is on the feeld that isn't protecting Cannons and fortify [23:54] Should the senate decide to switch to Rome, we ARE going to want alliances. [23:54] well we are at turn 3 [23:54] turn 3 or not, I think this qualifies as a "national emergency" [23:54] of 5 and I'd like to get to D-turn [23:54] don't know if I'm going out on a limb there... but that's my opinion on it [23:54] how about we just go to next turn then stop [23:55] why, we only have the one against us and teh MPP's will be triggered next turn [23:55] why on earth does anyone think it is wise to give the Romans another turn to sign alliances against us with half the players on the board? [23:55] that way we can now the situation, ie the mpps are in effect [23:55] * Aro has joined #civ3dem [23:55] Hi Aro. [23:55] 4 hello aro, welcome to THE WAR [23:55] There are only 3 MPP's [23:56] Join us in arguing for our democratic process. :) [23:56] * Aro1 has joined #civ3dem [23:56] Aggie, lets just save it and go at it next turnchat [23:56] Personally, I don't feel like fighting a war of England+Greece+Aztecs -vs- nearly everyone else [23:57] I was kicked, I think... [23:57] Aro... your server probably just cut out [23:57] How is the war? [23:57] with Rome [23:57] We got a victorious army. :) [23:57] The bastards... [23:58] I did ant to have them sign MPP's with others (china & Zulu) but both Nimitz & aggie declined [23:58] I don't think the bill gave permission to sign with them. [23:58] We have railroads... They are f* ! [23:58] We CANNOT sign MPPs with China, Zululand, or ANYONE else w/o Senate approval (unless we want to go up against the court...) [23:58] 4 i see no significant danger from the others, i do suspect that germany will get involved [23:58] Besides, the Zulu are the enemy. [23:59] we are at war now, so we cant get anymore MPP's [23:59] this qualifies as a "national emergency" in my opinion... we are skirting a Court case here... [23:59] What about England? Russia? [00:00] Rome is fairly powerful. Some nations will WANT to ally with them, whether or not we're more powerful. [00:00] 4 england and russia are mppe'ed to us [00:00] I'm not that sure, I think that Rome will try to stand against us and everybody else [00:00] HOW IS RUSSIA MPP'd to US???? [00:00] Yes, but that doesn't mean the AI won't jump ship. [00:01] 4 regrettable due to national emergency chat ended [00:01] It's the best thing to do. [00:01] agreed [00:01] strongly agreed [00:02] i still would want to go to next turn so we know situation [00:02] but no i am not supported on this [00:02] Atgie, yourpushingit [00:03] i said I would stop [00:03] hey... if we have to do a 1-turn turnchat, that will suck (I admit), but they diplomatic manuevering may be critical on a 1-turn by 1-turn basis here... [00:03] I agree with Arnelos. [00:03] ok but lets try to get ready by sundat for 1 2 turn chat [00:03] FAM needs broader approval for MPPs and alliances than it currently has [00:04] currently, I have -no- legal authority to sign any alliance unless its against Germany [00:05] this is an area where the NewCon is really making things difficult for us, but I think that was part of the -intent- of the NewCon in a situation like this... [00:05] it sucks, but we don't have a huge degree of choice [00:06] The purpose of MPP is protection [00:06] 4 posting newest save [00:06] I wouldn't call it difficult, just democratic... [00:06] OT: I can't see my name on the list... Am I here? ;) [00:07] We are just usingit (in Germany's case) as a way to keep from having a full alliance [00:07] i see you, peek a boo [00:07] :) [00:07] ROPs carry an enormous amount of trust, Alliances restrict our actions signifigantly, and MPPs can be even more restrictive. They SHOULD need senate approval. :) [00:07] I see 2 Aro's... they're multiplying [00:07] lol... thanks, aggie [00:07] Aro, we soo you... [00:08] can anyone hear me? [00:08] I think I'm lagging [00:08] Yeah, weird thing... I see everything twicw... [00:08] Kloreep, I agree with you. I just think, in this case, we MAY be able to get the Senate to sign something like a "blank check" for the FAM to make alliances as the situation evolves turn-by-turn over likely the next few turns before the war stabilizes [00:08] I can hear you. [00:08] * Aro1 has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) [00:08] * Aro has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [00:08] ada, I can here you [00:08] if anyone can hear this, brb [00:08] * adaMada has quit IRC (Quit: ) [00:09] because this situation IS going to change turn-by-turn and we may need to sign alliances on the same turn events happen to pre-empt being caught [00:09] i agree arnelos, [00:10] Arnelos: I agree you need a lot of authority in this. [00:10] But we need to see what the senate wants first. [00:10] but when we are planning war (and the senate has approved measures to sign aggreements to further that war), can it not be said that the aggreements with the same civs cant be used to enable us to continue to carry out plans for that war, even if the signatories (in this case, MPP's) are still the same [00:10] I'm gonna post an unofficial poll. It may get outdated soon, but it'll be good to see opinions on this. [00:10] true... I just hope the senate is reasonable enough to accept broader authority (for lets say a 5-turn period) to the FAM in terms of alliances... that may mean MSS gets that power rather than me, but it needs to be done [00:11] * roadcage has joined #civ3dem [00:11] i suspect it will get supported, but this does give us time to formulate a plan [00:11] hello roadcage [00:11] hey roadcage [00:11] hi [00:12] here is the initla plan for the roman invasion, we let them attack us, then we atatck there isolated northern areas [00:12] i don't envision more thanthat [00:12] aggie: sounds good... that should trigger the MPPs against them rather than against us (this matters with England) [00:12] It's called Defensive aggression [00:13] as with Rome, they have invaded us. We acted to protect ourselves. they will be too busy to give us problems while we go for Germany [00:13] E_T *may* be right... this is a new issue for the VERY CLOSE SMC campaign, no? ;) ;) [00:13] and if rome takes some russia border cities we can"liberate them, this could delay our thrust into germany until we get rp in 3 turns:) [00:14] they are triggered, as long as we don't invade them this turn. The MPP's that Rome has with Japan & England will be invalidated with both of them declaring on Rome [00:15] So, if we can just get lucky and have Rome get Germany on their side...... [00:15] so at last the continent is going up, except i hoped it would be the north, though if rome get germany involved we will have th eworld war we dreamed of [00:16] chuckle at roadcage [00:16] Ideally, I want to see Germany+Rome -vs- EVERYONE ELSE [00:16] Do we have Espionage? [00:16] We should only fight defensive VS Rome, for now. We have 18 turns of MPP to deal with (unless all of the signatories make peace) Rome [00:16] nope we have corp though [00:16] Deal for it and have an unsuccessful spy mission [00:17] Or even better, Germany does the same that Rome did [00:17] I agree with a defensive war -vs- Rome while we execute as close as possible to the original plan to mop up Germany [00:17] but I'm not SMC... that position suddenly got A LOT more important ;) [00:17] by that time, we'll have some of the fctories operational [00:18] Aggie, Wasn't I doing a good job directing you? [00:18] Poll posted. [00:20] we only lost 2 Cav, we will have RP in 3 turns. We have all units upgraded (except navy) [00:20] we just killed 12 of Rome's finest [00:21] 4 et did excellent job tonight [00:21] and we had 4 elite attacks [00:21] sounds good :b: - perhaps we'll get another leader soon enough ;) [00:22] also we can build heroic epic and academy [00:22] We should get the Epic ASAP. [00:22] come on all you KNOW you want to see what happens when we go on:) [00:22] And Rome will have 2 fronts to deal with (3 when we go to take Brundisium), but they will be very occupied [00:23] Yes, but that doesn't mean I know HOW I want to go on. :) [00:23] good point klorkeep, you know if I new rome was going to do this I might have stayed on, I really enjoy war:) [00:24] Maybe you can be an SMC deputy. :) [00:24] to me....If I win [00:24] And who's this klorKeep, anyway? ;) [00:24] yah i susggested that but didn't get mush rsponse [00:25] oops, bad tyoing strikees [00:25] I've been havingthem all night [00:25] i could do that et [00:25] 4 for all save is posted [00:26] * roadcage has quit IRC (Quit: ) [00:26] Although, I have a more cautious approch to war than you do. I don't like to lose unit's if I can wait a turn or two to fight [00:26] * aggie has joined #civ3dem [00:27] alright i'm back again [00:28] So, aggie, what's your preference? Two front war? [00:28] well i am ready for war, i am amazed that rome didn't use cannons or calvary [00:28] maybe they didn't build any [00:28] 4 i could live with that, we pound and demoralize rome then send all the elites to say hello, with artillery to germany [00:29] in a way this works out nicely [00:29] Assuming the war with Rome goes well, of course. [00:29] of course the problem is any roman cities are useless, but this could make diplo win possible [00:30] I would only look at taking that one Roman City. Or take Rome it's self [00:31] for the wondersw [00:31] JSB is a nice wonder. [00:31] Not vital, though. [00:31] 4 though if any russian cities fall those could be connected to us [00:31] Arnelos,you still here? [00:32] yeah... was reading PMs [00:32] * adaMada has joined #civ3dem [00:32] sorry -- connection died on me [00:32] what did I miss? [00:32] welocme adamada [00:32] 4 not much [00:32] JSB is great with very larg cities or when dealing with WW [00:32] WB ada. [00:32] Hey aggie, Kloreep, E_T, Arnelos, and -- is that all? [00:32] Did we stop the chat? [00:32] Yes. [00:32] yes [00:32] ok [00:33] Aro and roadcage were here, I guess they're gone now. [00:33] 4 do you all think we could have a sunday 2 turn chat [00:34] Aggie... don't think that gives 72 hours for senate bills :( [00:35] I think you're gonna have to make it the last turnchat of the term. :( [00:35] so it depends on whether people want to fight a two-front war or not. If they want to end the war with Rome - no problem. [00:35] The one to let the new gov. get established. [00:35] Are there any bills we have to pass? [00:35] Arnelos'll need authority for alliances if we go after Rome. [00:35] There could be an exec. veto on the war with Germany bill, with the understanding that this was until the public made a decision on the issue... [00:35] It all depends on whether we want Rome to be a target or we want peace ASAP [00:35] Do we need any alliances? [00:36] That's true [00:36] That's a decision the senate may want to make itself anyhow [00:36] There is the question of weather we want to take on Rome period [00:36] Yea, you're right -- didn't consider that [00:36] i ahve a question, do the mpp bind us to a 20 turn war or not [00:36] no, I don't believe the MPPs bind us to 20-turn war, merely to declaring war [00:37] I think they do. [00:37] the problem with MPP's is that if you have one with Civ A and you are both at war tith Civ B, If you make peace wit Civ B, the war between A & B can cause you to break your Peace agreement [00:37] If both you and an MPP partner are at war with someone, neither can sign peace with the common enemy without dishonorably breaking the MPP. [00:38] Yea -- MPP's are messed up [00:38] That's how it works, IIRC. [00:38] thats a big question, if they do we are committed, however as a matter of reality as long as the romans attack russia we will be committed whetehr we like it or not [00:38] You've gotta cancel the MPP before you call off the war [00:38] I think [00:38] That's true. We may not have a choice. :( [00:39] aggie, you may want to post that comment. I know I'm voting for 2-front now. [00:39] thats why i wasn't so worried about playing because in the game we had no choice [00:39] Still, stopping gives us first crack at alliances. [00:39] * aggie2 has quit IRC (Ping timeout) [00:39] Hmm... only two votes so far, both for two front. [00:39] i agree but who should we puick, keep in mind they will be very friendly with us too [00:40] We have MPPs with Germany, Aztecs... I know I'm forgetting something. [00:41] no pp with aztecs actually [00:41] it was too expensive [00:41] Oh, okay. [00:41] so we may also get the hat trick of war [00:41] Did I just say Germany? My mind's not working. [00:41] that would be a funny idea [00:41] Russia, and... who else? [00:42] russia/iriquis,engl/japan [00:42] so except for baby russia is surronded [00:42] we almost have done it, starting a ww [00:42] You mean Germany? [00:42] i mean rome [00:42] I want those wonders too, but we do have an MPP. ;) [00:43] Whoops, yeah, Rome. [00:43] hehe [00:43] That red country. :) [00:43] the aztecs could attack us too [00:43] That would be bad... [00:43] we better strengthen the defense there [00:43] We should definitely ally with them. [00:44] They're one civ I think we can actually say we don't want to attack. [00:44] i don't have the game open to check how much, but for mpp it was like 1000g [00:44] i don't know we could take the ammericasn cities then go forward from there [00:45] Germany has an MPP with Rome, right? [00:45] England too. [00:45] nope so far nobody has mpp with germany [00:45] OEngland and JAPAN, right? [00:45] but i suspect rome will look for allies and germany is the logivla choice and they DO have calvary [00:48] are we the only ones still rally hear [00:49] i do think that people will start coming back to the game now [00:50] I bet most people are on the forum. :) [00:50] Yeah, I imagine they will. Nothing like a good war to stir up a crowd. :) [00:50] probably, i voted for 2 fron but centeriong inon germany, but now I wonder, but the good news is we are the undisputed researchers:) [00:51] I hope MarkG puts up the Newz Update I sent him, too. I think the reason for the lack of new players is our not being visible. [00:51] Speaking of which, I need to get cracking on the next update... [00:51] indeed well war will help get the heasdlines [00:52] Yeah, I decided to vote for that too. We can't get out of this war without breaking MPPs, and Germany should not be delayed. [00:52] i better go too,
