Lizzy's rise to greatness

[mzprox]

new turn. we declared war on maya.We managed to take two cities (I will try to get screenshots later). Our armies entered maya's land in 4 stacks. They could destroy one of them with their cavalries,but i wanted separate armies because of the flanking damage mechanics.
I think cfc will join the war too.
We have an agreement that we will get about the same worth spoils from the war and the unit loss differences will be compensated by gold.
We don't know what aztec will do. they might join against maya or start a war with cfc.. we shall see.
It's ok for you to log in now and take a look. We will move in the first half of the turns.

Thanks for the update. Are we able to log in and look around? Or is the game down too?

[mzprox]

just letting you know that the game is still paused, nothing hapened.

[Dinner]

So we declared war on them and they just stopped playing?

[OzzyKP]

[mzprox]

They skipped one turn, but no sign from them for more than a week now. Probably we will need to find a sub for them.

[OzzyKP]

Has Maya been missing turns?

[Hercules]

game is paused because maya hasn't logged in for a while.. Turn timer also has been increased for the holiday season so there won't be too many update in the following days.

Yes I noticed that at CFC. I keep a watch out. In the meantime Happy Christmas team.

Since we will want to start the attack next turn, please no one log in until the war starts to keep turn order.
We will buy SoL next turn, uciv can't buy it but they might slave it.. I think that's unlikely.
Our workers have finished the railroads to the front line, all our forces are in position. Next turn we will cross the border possibly from 3 different directions with about 80+ riflemen, 15 machinegunners, 15 cannons, 4 cuirassiers and some other units. Cfc will come too, but with a smaller army. We are negotiating some kind of agreement about how to split the spoils and the compensation for military losses will also be included in that deal (I proposed that we will check the hammer cost difference of our losses and the one who loses more will be compensated with gold from the other).
Right now maya has no big army, but we can't advance fast so they can draft/slave much more units.

[Hercules]

So its SoL and then the Maya. Do Uciv have knowledge that we are also going for SoL. Would Aztec or CFC have told them or can they see our cities production?

[mzprox]

Nationhood is not just for war. For a big sized empire it's much better than bureaucracy. Besides cheap military production it gives +2 happyness, 25% spy bonus (thats 100+ spypoints even at 0% slider) and no maintenance that's 50-60 gpt)
But until there are 3 big powers there is no point really working on any victory condition because the other two would come and stop us.

[Dinner]

Back to nationhood. So I guess you just plan to keep drafting forever and try to win militarily? I was really hoping to stop drafting and to actually get both our production and population up so we could go for a space race victory.

[mzprox]

we shall go back to nationhood, and maybe choose representation, I will think about it. A GS was born, not a GE. I don't think we can lose the Sol now, but uciv will ba mad at us

[OzzyKP]

What civics were you planning to switch into near the end of the golden age?

And did the Aztecs get a GE?
