The Flight of the Pheonix

[Paddy]

we trashed one of their towns

and my sub took out a cruiser

the greeks are paying

[marcuspeddle]

I saw the rubble. I need to make peace with the Arabs. They have too many units for me to fight. I'm going to take one of their northern towns where they can't get reinforcements quickly. He should agree to peace then.

The Greeks were bombarding me with artillery from behind their border. I shelled them in return then took out their defences with modern armour and captured three artillery. The only good part of the turn . . . .

[Paddy]

sounds like a good plan for the arabs

go hard against the greeks

I am going ahead with my decimation plans

this will be one very very nasty war

we really need to work on this tech issuie

you have given me superconductor as I am 1 turn from it

thank you all the best

so what are you studying now then?

I have moved onto lasers, happy to change to satelittes - or what ever you choose

party hard

thionking of dropping 2 nuc's on athens, just to stir them up

[marcuspeddle]

Oops. Sorry. I'm working on satellites.

Wow, don't drop nukes because then the AI will start dropping nukes.

Though I must say I thought of it myself. ^^

[marcuspeddle]

I am foolishly heading to New Mecca. If nothing else, it might draw troops away from my border.

How many units will a cruise missle destroy? Just one?

[Paddy]

It is sad but true, that the ai is a sad creature

if only it was a human that had stirred my people

we are pumping out a massive amount of modern armour

greek crushers

1470AD

oh yeah, my nuc's have been put on ice

[marcuspeddle]

The Arabs are tough, tough, bastards. And there are so many of them. Still, I managed to take New Mecca. But then they took Swamp Thing. I will try to get peace next turn. All my cities at the border are starving to death because of Arab pillaging.

I see you are smashing the Greek cities. Ouch.

[Aqualung71]

You two guys are frightening. I hope I never have to play against you in the Modern Age

[Paddy]

we are building a new rail network at the war front
the idea is to push the rail as close t the next objective as possible
then ship in the 15 new modern armour regiments stright to the battle front, thus relieveing the last attack to regain and damage etc

[marcuspeddle]

Paddy is the scary one. I was being Mr. Peaceful until the Greeks and Arabs triggered wars by accidentally running into my submarines. Why was this not fixed in a patch. I hope it gets addressed in Civ4.

[Paddy]

at ya service o' peaceful one

you may notice that the greeks have pulled their border back a bit from your forward base

well the new rail link is working, I am literally parking 20 new modern armour rgt's outside of athens ready to drop in next turn
as can be seen in this pic

also you can see the new available space for settlement, although I hope no nation sends anyone their, it is quite the killing ground

/me looks across the maps and grins

yes my lads, we will leave their cities in ruins

[marcuspeddle]

That's amazing. Perhaps I should try the same tactics on the Arabs if they won't make peace. Even though it just makes them angrier.

[Modo44]

Quite a party you are having. Great read.

Paddy, your ICS still hurts my eyes.

[Paddy]

Go hard young Pharoah

bring the arab to heal

they must be stretched quite a bit, I have seen many of their units here in greece - fighting against the greeks

Modo,
glad you are enjoying this period of this game
I love having jet fighters at my command
and a base with 50 of them makes for a great deal of fun for all

Modo, I do not understand what you mean by ICS?

[Modo44]

By ICS I mean putting cities all over each other (Infinite City Strategy), like in the succession game. Judging from the map here, you do this all the time. Extremely close spacing at various places, right? But since it seems to work, I can only envy you for the amount of micromanagement you can handle.

Yes, 50 jets is very neat. Though personally, I just love BBs.
