The GS invasion is far enough to the south that we can't see it. We can see the GoW invasion as it's located closer to Jackson.

- Lego offers monarchy, military tradition, economics, and their WM -accepted.
- Lux Invicta finishes artillery. Starts bomber.
- Radio started at 60% science.

I didn't take a screenshot, but suffice to say that Lego has no more cities. They do however have 4 transports heading up the side near Eternity.

The problems with unlimited move railroads. You have to have rails or you'll fall behind your opponents, but they can obviously be used against you. All it takes is one wrong move and you've lost....like what happened to Lego. ;(

I saw a thread in the strat forum a while back where Hot Enamel did the same thing to Tiberius in a PBEM.

I think a useful strategy might be putting workers strategically on roads when you are worried about an invasion. It takes, i think, 1 turn to take a worker, even if you can move there for free - so scatter workers about on every square, and it at least slows people down a bit ... not a huge thing but a few can make a difference ... what do you think?

Rhoth - any idea what is on the transports or what their intentions are? They must have at least one settler.

Actually Beta lets think about this a bit. Im not sure we do want to talk to them. This is just Steve talking with a strictly Vox Controli survival viewpoint.

If we are going to try and tie our coattails to the GoW/ GS monster, we may not want to go out of our way to help Lego at this point. Because it may not make the monster happy.

Sure if Lego asks us for help we should give it. Lets just not go out of our way volunteering our help.

Our future lies with the victors in this war. I know emotionally you may not want to hear that but right now thats our "new Reality".

1290AD Turn Played

ND offers computers accepted.

GoW offers dyes - accepted. Lux slider lowered to 0%.

Rush barracks in Hope. 136 gold.

Switch Phoenix to barracks. 2 turns.

Started to upgrade inf to mech inf. (40 gold each). Did two this turn.

Move Battleship VCS Elipolis adjacent to Lego transports.

Lowered tech research to 0% as well. We were doing rocketry, but I belive we have a deal with ND for it in 10 turns. Until we can figure out what is going on with GoW and GS, I have suspended research.

We are at 921 gold, and a positive cash flow of 271 gpt.

I will follow up with GS and GoW shortly. They both accepted fission last turn.

I'm with you con. I AM thinking of Vox right now. I will not go for their RoP scheme, nor am I keen on giving them a city. I just don't want to add insult to injury by snubbing them completely.

1295ad turn played

The city of New Lands is founded. (pic attached.)

This is the FP city. I am trying to figure out if we switch directly to the FP now, or should I build a courthosue and factory first using cash ($$$) and then build the FP. That may make more sense and will line the city up for future production. It also means the courthouse is a waste. Maybe we do a factory and coal plant, or something like that - and just eat the corruption. It is building a library now. I can rush that as well for the culture and the extra tiles. Thoughts?

Hope produces a settler in 5 - can be rushed.
Eternity in 4, and PV in 2. I used these two cities as they are furthest from the capitol.

Now - research. I still have not started anything. I was thinking of starting nuclear power, but at 20 turns, it will cost us 5440 gold (or therabouts) and at 17 turns, 5270.

We are currently generating +276 gold per turn. I am thinking we line up a deal with GoW where we simply send 100 gold per turn. This would get us rocketry in 8 turns. I can try and line up the same deal with GS. This will get us tech much quicker, and at a fraction of the cost to us. They may not go for it - and may ask for full 50% funding, in which case we ill have to think about it. I suspect that if we promise not to trade any techs received under such a funding arrangement, they will be happy with the 100 gold. Thoughts?

Note that 3 of the 4 Lego transports have moved off.

Here is a pic of the south and New Lands. I will post a revised city plan shortly.

Re: New Lands - I say rush a Temple/or Library (to start the cultural build) then directly build the Forbidden Palace. You are right Beta, buiding a courthouse prior would be a waste....That's my 2 cents worth.

How will the corruption be in NL? If it's not bad then no courthouse (unless it's > 3 shields i suggest).

100gpt for tech is a good idea. If we can do it w/2 nations at the same time ... And then building some more cities will allow us to do a little of our own techs too

Why a temple? Just curious since the library is cheaper for us and provides more culture.

Because I wanted to see if you were paying attention, which you clearly are.

My error. It WAS a library that was rushed. You can see the build on the previous screen shot. Sorry about the confusion.

City of Memory Blocks settled on the easter mountain site.

City of Wittlich Canal settled south of Panama Vox.

Libraries started in both.

Library rushed in new lands. I guess I had not rusehd it earlier.

Hope, Eternity, and Panama Vox are producing settlers. Two out in two turns. I am trying to do this without hurting our current population much. If folks think I should produce settlers in the other size 12 cities (Eg Lux Invicta) and restock from Hope later, let me know.

Building barracks in Lux and Memory. Sub in Resurrection.

Also upgraded 3 more infantry units to mech infantry this turn.

I need to contact GoW and ND regarding tech deals.

And - note the Roleplay expansion to the south. They are making out OK with this.

Heres's the pic:
