[SPOILERS] Dazedroyalty - Willem of Russia

[SevenSpirits]

I'm sure it's just pointing to a city object that doesn't exist anymore because it's been freed.

[dazedroyalty]

It wasn't taken, it was razed. And I razed one of TT's cities a long time ago.

[dazedroyalty]

So, I'm behind in tech and have less teching power. I've managed to keep up fairly reasonably by teching less desirable things and trading them to everyone. (Medicine for example) Everyone else has tanks and I don't but I have enough power and military tech that it would be painful to attack me. But more importantly, I'm not too worried because I managed to convince Yuris and MH into:



So basically only Krill can attack me without giving warning and if he does attack me, he'll be at war with the whole world!

If any lurker is still reading this thread, does anyone know the MDP mechanics? When cancelled, is there an enforced cool down time?

There's no way in heck I will win this game but I'm genuinely interested to see who will. No one has a clear advantage militarily. Krill is definitely in the best situation I think. He seems to be going for nukes. I can't remember if they're allowed but I bet they are. At which point, if they are allowed, it'll be just terrible for whoever gets attacked. It seems like he'd want to use his short window of opportunity to nuke without retaliation on whoever is next person to get nukes themselves.

[dazedroyalty]

Yuris told me that MH attacked him which is why the turn is being held up. Man! That's not what I wanted since I have defense pacts with both. I'm sure Krill will jump on Yuris too. I'd like to snipe a few cities from Yuris if he's going down but I don't have the military strength to do so at the moment. Sigh... We'll see how it looks when the turn comes back around.

[dazedroyalty]

I know Yuris is making decisions but I'm surprised that he's taking two days to get it done. I wonder if he's really agonizing over the decision or just waiting for his emotions to return to calm so he can play smart. If it was me, it'd probably be the second!

[dazedroyalty]

Opened save and had this from MH:



I took it even though I feel bad for not honoring the MDP but there's nothing I can do against MH right now. All my units are either outdated or machine guns. In fact.... I'm debating if I will try to snipe a few of Yuris' cities that are on my border that he's defending lightly. Honor would say don't do it, but if I let MH (and I'm sure Krill too) take all Yuris' land, then I'm the next obvious and easy target. If I am playing to win, I have to take advantage....

[dazedroyalty]

OK, so I have no plan right now for this game. I am hoping Krill's increasing power is aimed at MH and not me. In which case, I will try to jump into that war when it (re)starts. I would rather kill mh cuz he'd be easier but if I want to win, I think I'll need to jump in against Krill and hurt him as much as I can. I need to sit down with a save an make a really good plan for how to do that. Right now, I'm just winging each turn. I don't especially enjoy the Modern/Future eras and I'm definitely less experienced with them. Yuri has a ridiculously annoying amount of units in his final city which is also on an island, so I need to wipe that off ASAP but it's gonna cost me a lot. Fortunately, I have bombers now which will help--if any of my cities are within bomber range, which I think they might not be.

[dazedroyalty]

Because I'm a nice guy and slightly bored, I'll show you a few pictures too!

The Russian empire!



Yuris' former core:




And while speaking for "former" lands, here's what used to be TT.

[dazedroyalty]

Oh, and I forgot one. Here's what Yuris has in his final city:



That's 13 units that I need to kill to take it. I need lots of collateral damage! I'm building Artillery and Bombers to help with that. But I am also short on available tanks, infantry to clean up. In short, I need more of EVERYTHING! :D (FYI: I had to reopen the save to take pictures but I couldn't remember exactly what I did, so this is all from before playing the last turn.)

Forts can be built to be used as airbases.

Planning to build any research institutes?
