SUccession Game

[civman2000]

and the game??

JOurnier, I've tried using bunkers before, but only over at most 5 squares to hold an isthmus and keep others out of my territory (great solution to all their intrusive settling!). I'm not sure how effective it would be. Also, couldn't they just go through unless it was 2 squares thick? On the other hand, is the AI smart enough to do that? In any case, it would be a huge project, that would require lots of drafting (it may be time for communism in that case) and rushbuying...

The "bunker" should definately have fortresses. I think it's a good idea. Africa isn't too wide. Just so long as the bunker covers all squares the Germans can cross into our territory through, we're covered. Making it deeper than that doesn't help matters. Just stockpile as many infantry units in the fortresses as possible. I'm thinking 4 each. I don't think we would need to do all that much drafting, just have the core cities produce the infantry and cart them up to the line. Draftees can fill in the gaps when we're just about ready to attack Germany.

I think tanks are a good starting point to begin the invasion. After we have a bunch stockpiled, we attack. The infantry from the bunker can occupy the cities we capture.

Bunkers are useless. The best defense is a good offensive I say.

Just make sure our cities bordering the Germans are well defended. Not TOO defended though. We need those units for the invasion.

The invasion should start on the southern tip, as well as Real World Madgascar. We already have a city on Real World Madgascar, so we can just ship some cavalry units there.

If we take the Southern Tip of Africa, we also take a number of the German Core cities.

This spells for less trouble later on.

Now, the Germans might want these cities back. So they will be sending their forces from the North to the Southern Tip.

This is where the pincer attack comes in. The forces stationed in North Africa will come sweeping down to the south, taking the bordering German cities.

BTW, is there a harbour in Berlin? Because if their ain't, then we can just take the cities around Berlin, and blow apart the roads going into Berlin. No horsies to the rest of Germany, no Oil, no tankies

sovy Fortresses are good very good...

all we do is stay on defense for at most 4 turns... after that most of his units should be destroyed..

then we can move into his area and take over his cities.


he wont be able to retaliate for another 5-6 turns probably since his "loose" attacking units would have been owned hard by our fortifications.

fortifications shoot at passing by units which = dmg to them before we even attack the unit.

then we attack the unit and its dead without us taking much dmg at all. then repeat till his units are dead...

what i fear is the iroqui's going over to the germans side...


cough since those cav's are umm pretty useless when we get tanks,....
maybe we should disband most of them into the cities building tanks and such...

my point of view. if dont want to then never mind

[civman2000]

the bunker idea is a very good one. Sovy, the problem with your idea is that they most likely will have panzers everywhere, so they won't have to divert an attack on northern africa. In any case, all their cities'll be connected by railroads, so it wouldn't make a difference. And why would cutting off Berlin stop the other cities from having resources???

[ElDiablo]

As far as I know, Civman, all resources come through the capital before being "distributed" among the empire.
Cut all roads/railroads/harbours from the capital and they're unable to use any of their resources, which means that you'll be facing obsolete troops. wouldn't your troops LOVE to run over a few spearmen?? ...also their luxury resources are affected too...can anyone say civil disorder???
Make sure NOT to take over the capital or allow them to rebuild even one road though, otherwise they'll be able to build their better units again.

No. Having them go to the capital is only for trade. ANy city connected to a resource gets it. For example, I've built colony cities in other games and gotten luxuries in the colonies but nowhere else until i built a harbor. That's also happened with building a city to get horses at the very beginning of the game.

I think that resources can be used by cities even if they do not go through the capital. Isolated cities with an iron can build swordsmen, right?
