  • Foreign minister:
    Only mighty. We'll have to overtake our foes.

    5 turns/tech. Uggh.
    Tax rate 20/40/40

    Looks like we're celebrating.
    *looks at cities*
    No we're not.
    Drop luxuries to 20%.
    Matterhorn still pissed.
    Send all the lazy workers to tax collecting school.
    Let's xin everywhere!
    Tech drops to four techs/turn.
    Raise science to 50%.
    Tech drops to three techs/turn.
    61 gold/turn. Much better.

    What do we need most, Infrastructure or wonders?
    What about MPE?

    Infrastructure?
    I think we need temples, aqueducts to continue to WLtD. Therefore, we should build infrastructure first, then wonders.

    What science do we lack?
    *Checks Romans*
    Romans:
    Astronomy,Bridge Building,Polytheism,
    University,Gunpowder,Seafaring,Iron Working,...

    Okay, so we are stupid gits.

    Perhaps some diplomatic *negotiations* are in order.

    Rename Middleton - Matterhorn
    Mickey- Main Street
    Mouse- Tiki City

    Looks like everything's in order.
    *cautiously hits enter*

    560 AD

    Aztecs land with 1 Elephant on Forest, near Fantasia.

    Open negotiations, they demand Engineering.
    I refuse, we go to war.
    Aztecs are currently supreme.
    I want tech, and they won't give us any since we are
    weak and backwards. Let's take them down a peg!
    Navigation acquired by Greeks, from French
    Economics(!) acquired by Rome.

    Purchase temple in Matterhorn, should be fine for discontent next turn. Lots of red faces in our empire. Where is our faithful Michaelangelo?

    Find Mycenae north of Pharsalos. Size 3. Tired camels beg for water.

    We need to modernise our pitiful Democracy!

    Trade Democracy with Rome and Engineering for
    Gunpowder and Navigation.
    That's two more techs.
    Spank Aztec Elephant with Vet Horsie in Fantasia.
    Romans activate alliance with Aztecs!


    Techs up to 4turns/tech due to trading.
    Get Seafaring, start research on physics.
    (hope to trade for techs.)

    AD 580
    Greeks almost finished Leo's.

    Meet with Romans:
    Sign peace treaty. So much for coming to aid their allies.
    Meet with Greeks,
    Sign peace treaty, trade for philosophy, polytheism.
    prerequisites for Mike's Chapel.
    Meet with Aztecs, pay 100 gold tribute.
    Sign peace treaty, trade for Economics, mathematics.

    We now have caught up with the AI in modern techs, except for Bridge Building, and university.

    Unfortunately, we had to pay cash to placate the Aztecs. We are still in want of infrastructure, as well as
    16 caravans for Mikes/Adam Smith.

    Matterhorn stabilises.
    Techs down to 8 turns/tech.:sad:

    We need to find our key civ.
    Down to Strong. :sad:

    Build CaribbeanPirate near Greeks.

    AD 600
    temples in Tomorrowland, SpaceMountain, SteamboatWilly.
    DisneyChina ends celebrations. Begins to xin.
    Going to upgrade our boat and shift discontent to Main
    Street.

    AD 620
    Build ThunderMountain on Whale site with island.
    SpaceMountain celebrates.
    Need 126 gold for Aqueduct in MagicKingdom.
    Once this is built, then we will return to WLtD.
    Raise tax 10%.

    AD 640
    NeverNeverLand builds Caraval for intercontinental trade.
    Trireme upgrade in progress.
    20/40/40 tax rates to encourage celebrations.
    Currently have 11/16 caravans under construction.

    AD 660
    Upgrade complete.
    Celebrations in 6 cities, including the twin size 8's.

    Dissidents in Fantasia shipped to our friendly neighbouring Aztecs.

    AD 680
    Plan to end Celebrations, pop at 2.4 million
    Would continue, but we need some irrigation.
    Change tax rates to 50/30/20
    Build Temple in Anaheim, should WLtD next turn
    Begin Roman trade expedition.

    AD 700

    Anti-globalisation revolt crushed after caraval embarks.
    I forgot the Hanging Gardens happiness boost comes before the unhappiness due to units outside the city.
    That's a wrap folks.
    We are at peace with everyone.
    We're just about to discover another tech.
    2.54 million people in the empire.
    We are Supreme!

      • Thanks obiwan18
        That caravel stuffed with caravans should be worthwhile. Paying the Aztecs 100g can be avoided. If you wish to meet with a hostile power to bargain for peace always ensure you have less than 50g in the Treasury. They will ask for a tech instead.

        Order of Play

            nice turns anyway

            good to be in democracy and building camels. Also good to see a little bit of infrastructure - 12 temples and 2 aquaducts added go a long way to getting us prepared for our future




            edit: *ponders how he can play devil's advocate* ->666 (0.67 posts per day) - this last one pushed me up over .66 per day

              SG(2):

              Each tech we hold onto allows us to trade for another tech. I would rather pay gold than tech. If I were more careful, I could have gifted 50 gold, saving another 50 for infrastructure/camels.

                It's a newer Disney animated series. Kim Possible is a cheerleader at Middleton High School by day and a world traveling crime-fighting superhero on evenings and weekends.

                    • We Love Shakespeare Days

                      740: Discover PHYSICS, Research MEDICINE
                      Harbour in Steamboat Willy completed
                      (this means that I have suddenly decided that it would be nice to have at least one fat city, also able to home our caravels, which create double red faces, and perhaps able to grow as a fine SSC or STC)
                      760: Our caravel discovers the fat Aztec city of Xochicalco and delivers immediately the 3 camels onboard (they are not demanded, but where else to deliver? Rome is dangerous and researching another destination city might take many turns: "un tiens vaut mieux que deux tu l'auras"): 82g +78g + 68g.
                      840: Discover MEDICINE, research ASTRONOMY
                      860: Beijing builds Copernicus (Astro won't be much use)
                      880: SHAKESPEARE completed
                      Oops! We said 8 turns! I stop immediately!

                      Attention please!
                      880 remains to be played... watch out!

                      • I forgot to mention that the glorious city of Free Willy has been destroyed by myself (providing 2 settlers) in order to make room for the future growth of Magic Kingdom.

                          Don't be afraid to give out tech to the AI. It is better to use the research power of 7 Civs than just one You hope to gain from this process in the following way. Suppose a Civ is researching the Wheel with nearly a full box of beakers. You give them this advance. They change their research to Seafaring (which you need) and complete it in a couple of turns ready for you to swap when needed. The process of "directing" AI research has been used widely in OCC games and early landing attempts.

                          When the Aztecs first landed I would have parted with Engineering to get peace and hopefully maps. The prospect of trading with fat yellow cities is much better than a war before we want one!
