AU 206: Gallic Glory - Stories and Strategy Tips

[badams52]

BigD,

A government job at 12 hours a day. Most govt. jobs I know hate to pay it's employees overtime. Except the many post office jobs where there aren't enough employees to cover the man hours needed...

Ah, but my government job is the Air Force. And they have no problems working me lots and lots of hours. Unfortunatly there just isn't alot to do at 3 in the morning. That's why most of my posts are at night. Nothing to do at work put post on Poly.

badams,

I'm 99% sure the Sistine affects ALL cathedrals in your civ, and is not limited by continent like the Pyramids, Sun Tzu, Hoover or the Internet.

[Jaybe]

Yes, it is JS Bachs that is "same continent." Sistine's affects ALL of your cathedrals!

[Arrian]

See, there is method to my madness!

-Arrian, happiness nazi (is that possible?)

Hi everybody...

Geez, you all make it seem so easy. Here I am struggling to just get on my two feet and the rest of you are totally kicking some butt. But that's why I'm doing these AU games. To learn and improve.

BigD

This is my third game on this map, which may help me kick the AI's backside. The first time I was toast in 2600 BC or something. The second time I was doing pretty well until bad luck and neglected diplomacy ended my glory. I really need a good start and plenty of luck to beat emperor level. The start is nothing to complain about, but having your FP city depose is not exactly what puts you on the winning side.

The third time I played on the more decent monarch level, knew the map already and was lucky with the "Ralphing" archer rush. What I made skillfully in this game was to focus on researching straight to monarchy while building up tonnes of Gallic Swordsmen, then have a non-despotic GA and walk over my neighbours with overwhelming force even before they could make contact overseas.

[Chemical Ollie]

By the way, Ralphing (or rather to call for Ralph) is slang for puking (throwing up) where I live.

RAAAAAAAALLLLLLPH!!!!!

Shouldn't the air force you have a lot to do in these days. One week before the big day, huh? Or perhaps they already went and left you behind.

In my current game, I plan the same thing but in opposite direction. I'm preparing to "Blix" the retarded Americans with an unstoppable load of bombers and modern armor.

Olaf...

I work comm. so things aren't much busier than usual. Maybe a few more people are locking themselves out but nothing crazy. I know some people who work on the flight line and stuff and they are super busy. It all depends. A big reason we switched to 12 hour shifts is just that everyone else is. I think it's crap but since I'm pretty low rank they could care less what I think.

Seeing as how this is only my third game on Regent I'm not too upset with how things are going. I could be in last but I'm not. I've made some mistakes but I will no better next time. And we're just leaving the ancient age so I still have lots of time to make stuff happen.

The ancient age is where you win or lose the game. At least on higher levels. But keep on playing! The GS could win the game even in middle ages.

This is kinda old news, but I never have had this many armies in a game before. The reason is this:

I already had the Military Academy in place when I found out the city could also build the Iron Works - pumping out armies every 5th turn now.

[Chemical Ollie]

Never trust an ignorant president who talks like an arrogant cowboy! Wait until I unleash my 70 modern armor and 15 armies on his 7 cavallery.

[Chemical Ollie]

Ignorant and arrogant allright! My invasion force is one turn from landing. My 5 carriers will soon turn the sky black with bombers. And the poor guy has the guts to suggest a trade that is unfavorable to me!

[Chemical Ollie]

Time for some punishment!
