Case Pink.

[mtgillespie]

I think the assumption of a short, vicious battle would be better, and more accurate. The assumption of the victor in that battle is the less certain aspect. I am happier now that i know we have a fall back position in the event of a setback, however. I expect the plan to succeed, i just don't want us to pin everything on it succeeding, and i don't think we are.

The plan is for a short war, however it calls for the building of 4 Barracks (only 2 are needed for the initial troops). This leaves us prepared for whatever may happen military wise.

Case Pink is not only about a war. It's about bringing some productivity to the empire. Productivity pays, especially in the early game. It pays equally for troops and temples.

I say we investigate the sea to the south of Apolyton, might be another continent, or the continent were on curves back around...

hi ,

, ....

, we could build only two , and use the shields for the other two either for a building or units , ....

have a nice day

We will need more units than 2 size 3 cities can build IF... Bottom line, we must prepare fully for war.

Also, it would be very advisable to have Apolyton switch from military to settlers after the initial wave is complete. We must not neglect our own settlements. That would leave us with 2 good Barracks and 1 not quite as good (2 7 turn archers/spear and 1 10 turn).

We won't have any room for more cities after Case Pink.

If Case Pink (or Blue) is successful, then we will have the land of the French (or Americans), which has some non Jungle. Also, it is possible that autoraze would occur with the capture of Orleans (or New York).

And, there might be good land beyond the jungle, which after all, must end somewhere.

hi ,

, maybe we should let our cities grow a bit , ...

so that they can build faster , bring more money , more science , more people , more banana's and so on , ...

have a nice day

The jungle around us can be settled and brought to productive use, given time.

That is why we must knock our closest neighbours for 6, to give us that time and to gain their good land.

But we must begin to tame the jungle soon also. As soon as the army is built IMO. 1 city switching to settlers once the initial wave is complete may not be too much. Remember, we only get free upkeep for so many units based on number of cities. We will need more cities as well.

The jungle cities should build something like worker, warrior, settler, settler. That way they can begin digging themselves out after 10 turns. 36 turns later they have 2 mined grasslands. With our closest opponents as vassels, we will have gained the time and resources required for the jungle to be overcome.

A truely aweful start, but one with fascinating potential. Look at the bright side. We may well have a monopoly on Rubber.

I thought that we were going to move our capitol to an area outside the jungle (such as France) and build up our empire there.

hi ,

that would be smart , but it would be smart to keep what we have also , .....
in that jungle there is going to be resources we are going to need , over time all that jungle shall be gone , none bonus grassland shall be reforested , ......

just imagine the production , even with the palace and second palace in an other place , ......

have a nice day

[notyoueither]

We could do that, but I don't think it has been decided yet. A capitol bounce is not a certain thing. However, a FP in the area of the French might be very wise.

I never capitol bounce, so it is never very present in my thoughts.

Also, doing everything perfectly, which is something a capitol bounce likely requires, may well be something an anarchic group such as ours is not suited to do.
