Succession Game - The Sticky Mouse Academy Strikes Back

[Vlad Antlerkov]

What I find funny is that we're technically AT WAR with three different civs, and we still get the peace bonus

As an aside, what's our next Succession Game going to be? I remember the idea of Conquest under Democracy getting floated around a little while back...

Conquest under democracy? I've even done that all by myself! Can't be much of a challenge, to big, strong civvers like you guys...

Nice session, Vlad., and hope it provided welcome respite from (as opposed to inappropriate avoidance of) your studies. Now who's next?

Hydey the upside down maestro plays NOW!

-Jrabbit ... that's not quite the full story. Conquest under Democracy yes...but with only one government change allowed. Despotism only until the Revolution

Ah, good. Hmmm, do I see two Engrs idled awaiting transport instead of planting productive forests where useless jungles and swamps hinder our progress?

Motion now before the Comintern: Appoint Vlad to Sticky Mouse land improvement detail.

[La Fayette]

Both lazy engineers have been immediately sent to the swamps by the new adviser and the science slider has been 'corrected' upwards .

It appears that we are now supreme and well ahead in techs. I have therefore decided to be very peaceful and grow our trading capacity as fast as possible.

Corporation is discovered in 1784, providing higher bonuses (best one: 612g for delivery of silk in Egypt).
Conscription is discovered in 1788, then Electricity in 1794, then Steel in 1798. Refining should be discovered in 1802. Our rate of research should never be less than 2turns/tech from now on, and we should be able to launch before 1870.

Other events:
Adamscoffin created in 1780.
Sneak attack by the English and the Japanese in 1786: they die .
TheInstitute destroyed by barbs in 1786 (our mighty fortified musketman gets killed by attacking barb musketman , rest in peace).
We trade techs with the Chinese in 1794 (Conscription against Direction, oh well, they asked for it ).
Strong barb attack against RampantCancer in 1798 (at least 4 knights stacked onboard a frigate ). They will have 5300 gold. We say 'nuts' and they take the city, giving us 4 partisans (I love that ). I have killed those barbs because they were naughty, but I have left the city painted red, just in case my successor wishes to buy barb knights .

Our trading network is organized as follows:
A shipchain between Antigizeh and Elephantine. A link between our two main islands (transport based in Frankfurt). A shipchain (simplified) between Heidelburg and Cardiff.

Haven't tried that... Sounds like fun.

Well done, La Fayette!
Now rock the house, Hydey!

Sorry Hydey went out drinking beer last night instead of playing

[Straybow]

SGs, Despotism-to-Democracy w/no UN, if it is to be a challenge.

[Scouse Gits]

... and of course a spotless reputation throughout...

That's a shame because Tuesday is my day to play (wife and daughter ensconced before the TV for Buffy).

Hope you had a good time and will be back to shortly.

Sorry time is short but I squeesed in a few turns (8) but in my rush I cleared the log I had writen up on word so No report.

My first turn started with the chinese attacking and taking Nil Newton, I had a look and realised our nation was defended by very ooutdated units, rushed some rifles
we discovered 4 techs in the 8 turns Tactics, Combustion and flight plus whatever we were researching before that.

Bloody real world getting in the way stops all my fun
