The Flight of the Pheonix

[Paddy]

ahhh Inifinite City Strategy, well I do not do it all the time, but my origins are of small villages not o far apart

of a people that enjoyed their independence, yet knew that their neighbours, their brothers, their kith and kin were not far away

from a time when the clans gathered to fight the common foe

and also gathered to break bread and enjoy the odd drop or two

[marcuspeddle]

The Arabs continue to make my country a wasteland. The good news is they are starting to attack my cities and they are losing lots of TOW Infantry against my mech infantry. I have sent a few units into their territory to copt their terrorist tactics of ruining the land.

I have reclaimed Swamp Thing (and my oil!) and taken one of their artic cities. Two other artic cities should fall next turn if they do not answer my peace hot line.

I will try blocking their advance with mech infantry. It seems to be to my advantage to have them attack.

Satellites next turn.

[Paddy]

sounds good to me

give me 5 more turns against these greeks, I have a few goals to knock over
then if the arabs have not given you peace, I will start in on them as well
I should have by then quite a sizeable force in greece, and will be able to commit new armour straight into arabia

now that should freak the them a bit

teach them to pick on my neighbour - the peacenik

ok 1480ad

squadron and squadron of fighters have bombed athens again
as they are jet fighters many failed, yet so to a few got through softening the city up for the oncoming armour

and Athens and the Great Temple lie in smokin ruins

adding insult to injury, the greek spaceship has been destroyed

hipp hip Huraahhhh hipp hip Huraahhhh hipp hip Huraahhhh

and then the remainder of that stack moved onto Corinth

and then corinth fell, and we sat and watched as tank after tank razed this once mighty city to the ground
I must admit to a tear rolling down my face whenI heard that the great library was housed amongst these very ruins, now that is a shame

ahhh well I tried to plant a spy with the arabs, I wanted to know of the space race. my spy was captured.
i then turned to the iriquos, they have no components
i then returned to the arabs, the next spy was captured and executed as well
then the arabs declared war with me

well, my lads in greece are now cut off from rail, I can still airlift some in

the iriquois have joined in as well

to war we go

thatt last turn took 95 minutes awesome

[marcuspeddle]

Wow, you're as busy as a bee. Turns are indeed taking a long time to complete. How long will they be by the year 2000? Probably very short since you will have destroyed everyone.

[Paddy]

indeed

well the arabs are infor it

I am targeting their capital

It will take longer than just their border towns, but it will destroy their space ship

and hopefully any wonder they have there

[marcuspeddle]

I think you're the happiest when everyone is at war with you.

[Paddy]

would ya believe I am actually a peace loving builder type

t'is the truth

have a look at my civ, lots and lots of building in there

[marcuspeddle]

Yes - barracks, airport, walls, coastal fortress, military academy

The Egyptian people are celebrating their new peace with the Arabs (and the addition of four cities to our nation) but the celebration is short as we have heard the ominous sounds of nuclear warfare. The Greeks have obviously become desperate. I must rebuild my nation but the Egyptian people will certainly help to punish the Greeks for their unforgiveable acts of destruction.

Did they drop the bomb on you?

I have no choice but to study lasers.

[Paddy]

lasers - I am 3 from laser

what of satelittes???

well if you are going laser, I will turn off my tech and gather gold for rushing units for this war

yes they have bombed two of my cities, cutting off my aluminium

thus no new armour for a while

I have moved my manufacturing to tow for a while, until I can get armour relinked

please note although attacked in such a manor, my own nukes are still under lock and key

[marcuspeddle]

Do you have the save?

The Greeks were pretty smart to nuke your cities with the aluminium - but stupid at the same time because everyone is at war with them now.

I thought I sent you satellites but I'll check again.

When all techs are researched there is going to be massive production of war units by everyone. And 500 years left to smash each other up in.

[Paddy]

I am playing it now

glad you have peace with the Arabs

could you please allow right of passage for the japanese

they want a piece of the greeks

[marcuspeddle]

I may as well - otherwise they'll be creeping through my land forever. Maybe I'll demand they leave.

[Paddy]

this save is massive

[Paddy]

I have been bombing BASRA for 20 minutes so far with my fighters

[Paddy]

Then the 5th Armoured Column trundled up the rails

having just razed a greek city to the ground, well they trashed Basra, and it too lies in smoken ruins
would you believe that the mad arabs had the united nations within this city

they were peaceful - ha

I think not
