Succession Game IX - Don't throw those bloody spears at me!

[HuangShang]

but then it would be an all woods and beach city, of course, you can argue that growth will not matter b/c of my own plan to bombard the location w/ settlers, thus expanding to include the high growth grasslands...
yeah, i guess if it was left up to my turn, i would build it on the hardwood

[EPW]

It would only be a very slight loss of growth by building on the hardwood rather than your selected location. BTW, are beach tiles 10/10/10 in CTC?

[Tamerlin]

Yes they are, you can find all the values in the file named CTC_terrain.txt located in your Call To Power 2\ctp2_data\default\gamedata folder.

I cant see the game at present but if someone does build a city then why not on top of the potato? It gives plus a lot of food IIRC doesnt it? Also if we were at all serious about a navy we'd have more than 1 coastal city able to attack others, besides a navy isnt needed in this game.

[Tamerlin]

I agree with Maq, building a navy at this moment of the game would be a waste of time and ressources. We lack both...

[EPW]

If we are going to build a navy that would be a good place to start. If not I vote for the potato.

[HuangShang]

we wont need or want a navy for a really long time, but my suggestion was by the time we attack south, we'd have a southern capital of sorts, a huge city on the ocean that can lead the invasion
afterall, we dont plan to lose to the Phonecians

900AD Egyptians take city of Kora.

910AD Phoenicians take city of Regina. I’m trying to scrape together a few 12 stacks to take to the front lines. While I’m waiting for these additional reinforcements, I’m basically pillaging the closest enemy cities.

920AD Repel Phoenician attack on Ottawa, which is now a front line city. Massing troops for a retake of Kora. Minor skirmishes with other enemy troops around empire.

940AD Large scale attack on HuangDi is repelled.

960AD A large Egyptian force takes our Capital of Ulundi.

970AD Phoenician attack on Ngwak unsuccessful. We are still doing much pillaging… and still trying to mass some troops. We have one 12 stack nearing Carthage…

980AD Kora retaken from the foul Egyptians.

990AD Large scale attacks on Ngwak and Xhosa are repelled. Our defenses are battered though. We throw a 12 stack of mostly gunpowder type units at the Phoenician city of Carthage, which get slaughtered… they have technology more advanced than us.



Just hit End Turn Tamerlin, to get a feel for the game so far. Then go ahead with you 10 turns, etc. No doubt about it, it's getting tougher...

A large Egyptian force takes our Capital of Ulundi.

[Shadow]

Tell me about it... I didn't even think they'd head for Ulundi, and all of a sudden it's gone...!


Started sending some of our top units to the area for a showdown at Ulundi... hopefully Tamerlin will have time to take it back for us!

[HuangShang]

...surprises... but thats part of the fun

Glups....

Just coming back from a long and tough week-end (november the first is a holiday in France) I am just recovering from. I will try to play as soon as possible as I have a very tough planning until the end of the week and this one is much less fun than the one of the week-end.

[Shadow]

Any progress yet Tamerlin?

[Tamerlin]

I am sorry but I won't be able to play before the coming week-end, I am terribly sorry but I am very busy, I have tried to find two to three hours to play this week-end but it was not possible. The best solution would be to skip my turn until I can play.

I don't mind waiting for this weekend.
