Napoleonic Conquest PBEM Sign Up Thread.

good point.

the idea is too take one or both of the AI's out, and any of there allies etc...?

[Paddy]

what level aggression are we having the AI's set at?

[CerberusIV]

So the AI's have better cities, better units and a superior geographic location. How hard can it be?

Not sure about this. I will set it as high as I can!

[Paddy]

I think we had this discussion in the Help forum last week. Thanks fr your input there.

Good luck

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

I think their units are actually way better than ours.

[Paddy]

Yes, but that does not last long after a few general upgrades with Nationalism and Seapower etc.

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Actually their units upgrade to better units with those. Ours just stay the same.

[Paddy]

I have looked over the attributes of the French, British, Russian and Ottoman infantry units.

Each come in three tiers, and yes they are in the above order for attack, defense and movement.

Thanks for that, I had not looked over that set of stats before on this scenario

[Inverse Icarus]

yeah, this should be fun though. we just have to nibble away at the massive AIs until they're soft enough to topple over.

[CerberusIV]

The turn order is

CerberusIV - Prussia
GhengisFarb - Russia
UberKrux - Spain
Paddy the Scot - Ottomans
Rommel2D - Austria

Don't complain about time zones or whatever - that is the order the civs come up in and I couldn't find a way to change it.

Accelerated production is ON
Cultural flipping is OFF

I also could not find any way to increase the AI aggression (the French are on max) so left that alone.

Jan 1800 turn to Ghengis

The Prussians have weak infantry, mediocre cavalry and are right on the front line with the annoyed French. This isn't going to be easy.

Techwise I started with Diplomacy and am researching Nationalism (5 turns). It would be a good idea if we all researched different techs where possible and then exchanged.

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Everyone starts with Diplomacy. The British start with a the first Naval Tech and the French start with Nationalism. Did you try to trade for either of them, CerberusIV ?

[CerberusIV]

No, I didn't really get too far into trying to trade for anything on the first turn. The French weren't amenable to anything and the naval tech doesn't seem too useful to me.

Having looked a bit further at the tech tree it seems the Prussians don't have the worst units after all - the Spanish do!

[Paddy]

are we going to use this thread for the turns? or start a new thread?
