I forgot to make note of the punchline/summary.

What is obvious to one player often makes no impact on the next in Succession Games and yet the game continues to unfold in its own beautiful way. There is no one "right" move; the genius of the game is the multiple ways it can be played and everyone can have fun with it.

... yes but we were a little short on the engineers side.
I had to build railroad as fas as I could then I started to improve some land near our cities so I was not thinking to add an engineer and then begin to celebrate.

There was no good reason to raise the Lux rate until CfC was built which happened just before I finished. I really wanted to take some extra turns to get the rush that rapid expansion causes.

ok! And that's what I did!
Now, we should have good cities (of course I didn't start to build sewers due to lack of funds) we have a good choice either build HDam and then- with theboosted shield production- the Suffrage or build the Suffrage (just to let the French with a bunch of flies

) and then the Dam.

My successor will have to take this really hard decision!

Am I missing something? What is the attraction of Women's Suffrage in a Republic?

(chest puffed out proudly - having already built Hoover and ignored WS

)

I'll have my turns finished tonight. This isn't a monster, but there's a lot of micro- involved - moving freights, rushing and so on...

Hopefully RL will let you play Friday.

**El Civ** · August 1, 2002, 15:02

I don't know if my turn will come up or not but I will be out of town this weekend (back Sunday night). If Sunday night/Monday during the day is too late I can join in wherever you wish.

Back in black (leather)

1756, and the Coolest Consul rides back into power. Sauntering into the Senate, he raps his knuckles on the jukebox and 'Ride of the Valkyries' fills the air, to a round of

's from the senators...

Order of business:
-We'll finish Hoover. The production bonus should help us get Suffrage, if we want it. Oh wait - no factories yet?

Anyway, if we don't go to Demo, Suffrage isn't as much of an issue.
-Retake Eye on Egypt

-Get our military into better form, so we can impose our will (i.e. Trade) with impunity.
-Trade!

1756: taxes adjusted to 2.5.3

1758: Hoover Dam in StickyMouse>Factory. Our ship chain seems somewhat discombobulated. Taxes tweaked to 1.5.4.

1760: Steel>Leadership Oil>StickyMouse, 90g North Lookout founded. 2 Caravans>Bombay, 208 g. Taxes 2.5.3 Factory rushed in StickyMouse. A large force of NON Knights sails for Egyptian lands... destination Eye on Egypt!

1762: Factory in StickyMouse>Freight. Gold>Delhi, 114 g. Some serious terrain improvement commences around StickyMouse... our rivers aren't roaded, even!

Chinese demand Industrialization... then declare war when we ask them to leave

Barbarians land near J'Accuse.

1764: Riflemen purchased in China Ferry. Celebrations turned down a notch, to 2.2.6.

Babylonians and Chinese ally against us! Egyptians start Suffrage!

Chinese offer a cease fire, which is accepted.

1766: Gold>Delhi thrice 402 g, 264 g, 306 g. Some white goods are rushed.

1768: Leadership>Tactics Copper(d)>StickyMouse 46g

Coal StickyMouse>Chartres 635g, Dye>Lyons 88 g, Wool>Chartres 400 g, Hides>Chartres 120 g. More rushing.

1770: Tactics>Refrigeration Dye>Bombay 76g, Oil>StickyMouse(d) twice, 140g, 114g. More rushing.

Egyptians discover Communism. Marco shall Polo no more.

1772: Dye StickyMouse>Bombay, 512g, Silk Senator's Beach>Bombay, 354 g. More rushing.

1774: Refrigeration>Communism Multiple 'vans to Chartres, 120, 166, 44, 144, 126g. Copper(d)>StickyMouse 84g. Barb King caught near J'Accuse, 150g.

Massive force of NON Cavalry lands near Eye on Egypt. The streets run red with Egyptian Blood as we recapture the city. Communism taken (Ooh, how convenient... almost like it was planned that way

)

UN production rushed, with some food Freights.

Coal StickyMouse>Chartres 690g, Oil>Chartres twice 120, 198 g.

Supermarket rushed in StickyMouse.

1776: Researching.... mmmm... Espionage. United Nations in Spicealitum. Luxuries adjusted to 2.4.4 to start celebrations anew.

Silk>Bombay 192g, Gold>Lyons 264 g.

1778: Espionage>Machine Tools. Gold>Delhi 78g. Tribe Tyrusonforsize discovered N of Macao. Oil SenateChapel>StickyMouse 108g.

("Which Egyptian city to capture next?" muses STYOM)

Chinese start SoL.

1780: Hieraconpolis defenders routed by our Cavalry and the city is taken with 11 g plunder. Senators give a

to continuing the war

So encouraged, our Cavalry slaughter the garrison of Madras.

Dye>Tours 304g. Silk ChinaMission>StickyMouse 86g.

A chick on each arm, STYOM strolls out of the Senate in his leather jacket, the jukebox fading away...

*****************

I tried to restrain my normal impulse to found some cities and instead concentrated on trading. A lot of markets, sewers and aqueducts were rushed, and I rushed some freights to keep the flow of science and cash coming. Sticky Mouse is now size 24 and should keep growing with the engineers busy working on terraforming hills and 2 others creating farmland.

A few notes:
- French still haven't finished Suffrage
- the Egyptians are second to us in power but don't even have Gunpowder yet, so we have a window of opportunity to do them some serious damage. All flags are down in Madras, but we have 4 Cavalry stacked there that are at risk, and another 5 in and around Hieraconpolis.
- Ship chain is in place to trade with French and Indians (French seem more lucrative generally) Caravan N of Lyon can deliver demanded Copper to Rheims(15) next turn.
- we are well positioned now to celebrate our key cities up to 15+ size, in most cases, more with some terrain work. The road is open to the stars, or conquest with our mass of Non-units.

Looking very good STYOM!!!

Looking over the map I noticed something that may be of interest. It concerns the "Red Island". There is probably a hidden special to be mined in Red Haven (Silk would be wonderful). If Erehwon is burned down for the Eng'rs, a canal could be built with one in the narrows just above. This would be the "Egytian-Carthagenian Passage", a much shorter route. The second Engr could build using the whales there or for mining the special in Red Haven. Just a thought.

The real attraction is to steal it from the French

...

**La Fayette** · August 2, 2002, 13:57

stealing from the French shouldn't be any attraction at all

...

BTW IMO Women's Suffrage can be very useful ALSO under Rep (if you wish to stay in Republic and sail more than one ironclad/coastal city

).

**LDiCesare** · August 2, 2002, 15:13

Yes, Suffrage is very good in Republic, as it allows to have big armies. You just need factories because the units cost so many shields, but you don't have to increase lux rates once your cities have stopped growing.

**Six Thousand Year Old Man** · August 2, 2002, 15:20

I don't know if Suffrage will be necessary at all, but we certainly should have no trouble either buying or conquering it.

Kudos to Julius for the Red cities... the strategy is paying off now, as every 2-3 turns a barb Knight appears, which is then bribed and turns into Cavalry a few turns later. We have 10 of those mercenaries in Egyptian territory, and could probably conquer Egypt with those alone (poor Egyptians are still working on Gunpowder

)
