I'd support the invasion of Japan, but this would be a rather large operation, (coordinating Transports, Destroyers, Battleships, with Bombers, Fighters, Infantry, Tanks...etc).

The Japanese should be taught a lesson, beyond the destruction of their Imperial Fleet....

Talking about fun...

I know, we already won the game and so; we only have to build every improvement in every city, and wait for the Spaceship to Alpha Centauri. Well, it's ok to me.

But... I really would like to see and take part in such adventure... (I never played like that!)
An operation like that is a fantastic challenge.
(we could even have a stack of paratroopers and call it "Easy Company"! )

For everybody who wants to learn some logistic and strategy, this is an unique opportunity!

If we decide not to do that, I'm planning to keep some saves and, when the game is over, find a bunch of friends to play that invasion.

Just my two (devalued) cents.

Ah, I remember the golden age of CivII, I would do so many overseas invasions....amphibious assaults...oh those were the days...I still do them in my private games....that reminds me, I've got a hankering to play a new SP game....

Aro, I DEFINETELY want in on that!

I've tossed around the idea of playing a new game with the same map we've been using....it'd be a little unfair for the AI (unless I set it to DEITY, muwahaha) but imagine all the things that could have turned out differently....

Reminds me of several history books I've read, one of which is called "What if?" ....with essays by historians on "what if Napolean won at Waterloo?" or "What if the Confederacy defeated the Union?" or "What if the Germany Army in WWII moved to the Mid-East instead of attacking the Soviet Union?"

Ooh....ahh....

hi ,

so what are we going to build in the end , .......

have a nice day

[Meshelic]

Well, not AEGIS cruisers.

Battleships, Destroyers, transports, possibly an aircraft carrier or two....probably a few subs.

hi ,

any details , like where to build them , what first , how many , etc , .....

we shall get AEGIS later on , so why not

have a nice naval day

[Meshelic]

panag, read page 1. You'll find your answers about AEGIS cruisers there.

Details?

Well for starters

1. Naval units will be built on coastal cities.
2. Naval units will be built on productive cities.
3. Naval units will be built at harbors.
4. Naval units will be built as they are discovered.

Does that help?

hi ,

page "1" , well there is only page here and it does not given a sufficient answer , ....

have a nice day

Panag,

look again. It says that we will not build AEGIS cruisers because chances are we shall be done with the space race by the time we acquire the technology, thus making it unnecessary to build them.

panag, a little cooperation please. that's all I'm asking for, just a little.

Ok. Short term.

As soon as we can build Destroyers and transports, battleships, etc here are my initial requests:

6-10 Destroyers
5-10 Transports (depending on whether we invade Japan or not)
5 Battleships

those are my first requests, which I will make public one we research the technology.

They will be built wherever possible, since it's up to the DM and the RA's to decide amongst themselves where to build them. Preferably they will be built in the highest production centers as possible, especially the battleships, as they are pretty big projects for military units.

Aircraft carriers will follow shortly, again, when we have the technology. Once we have Flight, and Advanced Flight, I will make the appropriate build requests.

That is all for now. Any further questions, gentlemen?

Batleships : Yes; they are the queens of the sea.

Destroyers : Why? They become obsolete as soon as Battleships can be built and can be upgraded.

Transports: Won't upgrading all our Galleons provided sufficent Transports?

Air Craft Carriers : Why? Our core area is on the largest contientant. We have plenty of cities to base the Bombers out of.

Subs: Given the AI almost always escorts its Transports, we can't use more than a couple.

Absolutely. Battleships are probably my favorites units overall, besides Bombers and Modern Armor....

Destroyers : Why? They become obsolete as soon as Battleships can be built and can be upgraded.

Good point. I usually base my preferences due to my SP games, but of course, my initial requests (ideas for naval) builds, will be reformed at the appropriate time. They do have a longer movement range, as Panag commented, though.

Transports: Won't upgrading all our Galleons provided sufficent Transports?

Probably, but in the future a lot of the transport issues will be decided on whether we go after Japan, the mainland....we might need more. We'll see.

Air Craft Carriers : Why? Our core area is on the largest contientant. We have plenty of cities to base the Bombers out of.

Mostly in case of an invasion of Japan, we won't have bombers with long enough range. However, if we are generally peaceful the remainder of the game, we probably won't need them.

Subs: Given the AI almost always escorts its Transports, we can't use more than a couple.

They'll become more useful once the Manhattan Project is built. For self-defense mostly, of course.

[Meshelic]

Keep in mind that my requests for naval builds will be decided based on the situation at hand.

As it stands right now, we have an insufficient navy to properly defend against encroaching Japanese warships and galleons. But once the two new Ironclads are constructed (this turnchat) we'll be in a better position for defending our seas.
