The Battle for deityland
Against all the odds I achieved a HUGE moral victory today.
I woke up this morning wandering around like Russel Crowe before the attack in Gladiator. Steam wafted from deity's nostrils. Never think you are dead. Churchill faced the odds but the Battle of Britain turned the tide. It sured up confidence in other nations to take on the aggressor.
Now, The Battle for deityland: Part One
Having exhausted most troops in the Spanish Onion campaign deityland looked ripe for the plucking. But careful strategic planning and sheer iron nerves steadied the nation - with combustion and Magellans.
Intelligence suggests that Markus of the Vikings held off researching the Mobile Warfare to allow the Dangime Persians to get as many vets as possible with Sun Tzu.
Persia is to the West of deityland.
Winzity's Spanish and Markus are to the East over the sea (about 8 squares).
Todays start
1756AD (oedo year): deity has 14 cities and 15 units and 15 gold.
This is concede territory for most players.
Conscription is 2 turns away so all gold is now going into that tech limiting rush buying plus I've just picked Democ after 4 turns of Anarchy...
Our submarine force is all that stands between deityland and disaster. Markus invasion is imminent because unless he acts quickly he knows it will be impossible, until nukes.
1758AD (I think)
Dangime's Persians attack defenceless cities in the West. deitipersisa sucumbs to the might of Persia. They get a tech (in this no alliance no tech steal game).
This is Markus manipulation to get a diversion in my West to make sure of his invasion in the East.
BTW, I believe Dangime has been attending Markus training Academy for sucker-uppers. Dang's excuse for this unfair play in this no alliance game is that they may as well kill me off to get on with a new game. BUT this is where SO MANY people here miss the point of really good CivMP. You must play these endgames out. It's always different to just conceeding and writing up a fiction
1760AD
Then the teacherous Raz, who is subbing for the Romans, attacks me in the SOUTH out of the blue ##$%^**(( !!!!
That's EAST, WEST, and SOUTH!!!!
Markus lands his first invasion force of cannon and riflemen near deitigodfather- all killed by deity, inc the Transport which still had 4 unlanded units in it
Many of his destroyers went down too as did several of my subs.
Dangime continues to attack and explore my West.
1762AD
Raz finally takes one outlying small city, called sorrytown, in 1762AD I think.
Dangime sounds the retreat as his invasion crumbles.
deity kils more Markus Desroyers and sinks a Transport full of EIGHT units.. LOL
1764AD
deity kills many more Markus Destroyers and sights the first Viking Battleship!
... end of session but more ego-tripping and pix to come
