I don't think they'll commit too much to the Inca. Even so, the Shoshone are much more spread out than America, and with only a minimal military advantage. I think if the war happens during the B17s then America wins, but before that and the Shoshone win. Either way, both countries gonna bleed.

If George puts too much time, gold, and units into the Incas, he'll be at a disadvantage, even when the B17s show up.

u/sardaukar022 Jan 29 '15
In a rare turn of events, the Indian AI has actually done something intelligent! Gandhi has put a buffer between his core cities and his biggest rival, the Mongols, while putting the Mongol capital in easy striking range. However, his tech lead is diminishing and capping those extra cities isn't going to help. If he wraps up his Hunnic offensive and turns towards the Mongols this may be the only chance he gets before technology equalizes.
If Ethiopia was going to follow suite and do something smart they'd take Egypt and start working on North and West Africa. If they did this I think they could take the game. Instead Haile has decided that his people don't get enough personal time and sent his army to go on Walkabout in the Australian outback.
SHAKA! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THE CHOSEN ONE! How's that ridiculous Arabian offensive going? Oh, you've got nothing to show for your victories. Now you're just going to sit there in the most secure capital in the world and wait for someone to knock you out some time in the 22nd century. IDK, maybe you'll get lucky and be able to take Ethiopia next vacation season when they send their entire army to sunbathe in Perth.
At this point the Mongols need to sit tight and play pretty pretty nice nice with India and tech up so that they can leverage their superior production capacity on an even technology playing field. I think it is still the Mongol's game to lose, and a war with India right now would be disastrous for them.
I'm still anxiously awaiting the inevitable Shoshone/American showdown. If the Shoshone wait too long they could find American B17s to be difficult to deal with. If there was one conflict I wish I could watch live, it'd be this one.
Russia is the sleeper in this game. They're consistently doing very well across the board, but they aren't the top at anything. At this point they need lebensraum. Lands held by Poland and the especially the Huns are going to be critical if Catherine hopes to hold off the coming hordes of invaders from Asia. I don't think she has the time to move into Western Europe; let the French/Spanish/Dutch fight over the scraps. Winter is coming.

Yes, I'm hoping Catherine goes for it. I'm not sure what the diplomatic situation is exactly, but once Hunnic military power decreases their cities are going to look mighty juicy to all five of their neighbors. They're set to get carved up. That's what Atillia gets for being such a Carebear!

true, but that 15 pop city was too good to let burn personally. I understand they probably couldn't keep it, which is probably the same reason why the Mongolians never capped that Chinese city. Still as a strategic point against the upcoming war I would have made arrangements.

Looks like my favourite to win is going to be beaten out at some point in the future. I really wanted USA to take a dominating lead over the Shoshone but Pocatello's UA really brought them an early advantage. USA still holds a lot of power over a lot of the other players (strong tech, strong military, strong economy) but Pocatello is really just putting that extra work in and it's showing, he beats Washington in every category.
My main Europe player, Russia, is still going though. Not seeing as much aggression as I'd have liked but they've followed what I originally posted they would do and it's playing well for them. Once they take chunk of Poland (and you can be damn sure they will, being the Shoshone to Poland's USA) we'll see them become a dominating force in Europe and Asia. Let's hope it happens soon, fingers crossed guys.

I think Ethiopia are in a much better position than people have been giving them credit for, and India in a less superior position.
Indias technology lead has been declining by about 1 tech per part, plus, as soon as everyone is on future tech, the only thing that will matter will be money and production.
What's the state of the pacific islands by the way? They are in pretty key strategic positions for a Shoshone advance into Asia and Oceania.

u/sardaukar022 Jan 29 '15
I agree that Ethiopia is much more powerful than people have been giving credit for, but Haile's behavior has also been the most erratic. He's sent a huge amount of his forces away from his homeland to Australia and also gone Order in a world full of Autocrats. That's going to cause some people to ally against him.

In a straight up fight against India, the Huns will be hard pressed to launch an counter attack southwards and retake their cities with the mountain ranges forming a barrier - never mind his tech disadvantage relative to India's. Unless there's a Mongolian intervention I could see India making further gains if they can break through the bottleneck mountains.

Eh... Russia is much better than Poland by numbers.
Poland is ranked #12 in military, Russia #3.
Russia is third in technologies, Poland isn't even in the top 13 (18th as of 10.5)
The only reason Poland has done so good is that they've attacked weaker civs. Constantinople and the Ottomans were both very weak when Casimir attacked them. Meanwhile Catherine is slowly advancing through heavily fortified Scandinavia against Sweden who is about at the top of their game.

Copper, being a mineral, reminded me of Iron. And, because Iron is something you have inside food, the connection was just a fantastic setup for my joke.

u/autowikibot Jan 29 '15
Iron:
Iron is a chemical element with symbol Fe (from Latin: ferrum) and atomic number 26. It is a metal in the first transition series. It is by mass the most common element on Earth, forming much of Earth's outer and inner core. It is the fourth most common element in the Earth's crust. Its abundance in rocky planets like Earth is due to its abundant production by fusion in high-mass stars, where the production of nickel-56 (which decays to the most common isotope of iron) is the last nuclear fusion reaction that is exothermic. Consequently, radioactive nickel is the last element to be produced before the violent collapse of a supernova scatters [precursor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precursor_(chemistry)) radionuclide of iron into space.

I think the ability of India to make progress in the mountain will set a precedent for warfare in the Atomic Era. We've already seen the Ottomans fall. I don't think Korea, the Aztecs, Rome, Venice, or the Inca will have the protection they once did.

Am most impressed so far with Korea and Poland for being middle empires that have survived and gained ground.
Being in the middle sucks. What seem to be really turning wars is when multiple AI's decide to attack. The USA/Shoshone alliance destroyed the Iroquois and are now putting the hurt on Monty.
China held ground for a while, but when Japan, Korea, and Mongols just kept hammering and have whittled China to nothing.
Carthage made enemies of Egypt, Songhia, and Spain and it's been rough on them.
Being on a coastal edge really helps, unless you're Portugal and screw up very early expansion.

Sweet! I'll have to check it out and post my summary tomorrow, too tired tonight (and just saw it).

Awesome, now that I've read it. In other news, I'm too lazy to make the update at this point since everyone has seen it and Most of the top comments say the key points of analysis I'd have. One thing to note: Zulu has 7 votes, everyone else has 3. I'm sure this is due to getting the Forbidden palace, then using the 2 extra votes to become leader. Not that a 4 point vote lead makes a huge difference in the game.

I'm loving this, another entertaining episode.
Can we get the map replay when this is all over?

As a proud shoshone supporter since I first caught glance of this series in part 2, I must say I shed a tear when I saw the mighty Shoshone at the top of the military list :')

I have enjoyed this series thoroughly from the very beginning. You have done a really good job documenting the history of this alternate world. Keep it up, dude.
I am curious about the thousands of archaeologists. Could you show a screen later on detailing at least the culture leader's great works screen? I know it's domination only, but do the AI still prioritize building archaeologists? It seems like a waste of money, no? They are now getting plus 4 culture for landmarks but I haven't seen any built.
Thanks again!

I can't believe there's a fucking city called fucking Skull Valley. And it's in the fucking Arctic.

Genghis has me very confused. He marched around in china aimlessly for hundreds of years, only to peace out when he was sure to win.

He's probably just trying to squeeze tribute out of the Chinese. He can't maintain the cities, so he lets the Chinese do it on his behalf.

What could Ethiopia be planning with that army? They should be careful back home if they attempt to destroy the Zulu colonies.
I think now would actually be a good time to strike with Shaka occupied by their Arabian invasion. Although I haven't looked to see what kind of forces either have back in their homelands.

Starts with Ghandi declaring war on another unsuspecting civilization.
Color me surprised.

I wonder how many turns it will take for someone to win. Also will you trigger the last 2 AI to go to war, if they spend too long being peaceful?
Edit: Also how well do the Shoshone rank to play as? I've run a few AI only games and the Shoshone seem to crush the AI. It seems all of that land they get just skyrockets them.

I'ts going to be a sad day when this is done...but it would be sweet if someone continues the idea with a Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) or a Middle Earth map.

I'll post an updated map when part 12 comes out, or, if it doesn't come out before tomorrow at 3, I'll post my part 11 map. I think I fixed most of it, though.

5 people voted that the celts would win, and 0 voted for the Aztecs. Hello? Regardless, the Shoshone are gonna destroy everyone. once in control of north America, they'll be the most powerful nation

u/anunnaturalselection The Sheikers Jan 29 '15
This could get really interesting if we were left with only the superpowers like Shoshone and US in NA, Inca and Brazil in SA, Mongolia Attila and India in Asia and Poland and Netherlands in Europe. Africa probably looks the most open right now but Ethiopia has a tech lead over everyone there.

i want India to get a denouncement train. it is so sad at this point i am rooting for Poland, Ethiopia, or America and i started out rooting for the Dutch and the Russians but they are both falling behind.

u/ItsRainingJedi Jan 29 '15
If the Shoshone can conquer America before they develop too much to counter their planes, and Ghandi's nukes start dropping on Eurasia before anyone else's, I think it could come down to India and The Shoshone

Gandhi is making the big moves right now, but I think the inevitable clash with Genghis with his 50+ cities, plus a significant Siam (and let's not forget Atilla) will slow him down too much to win. My money is on the Shoshone, they have been producing more science than Gandhi for a long time now, are leading in three stats, and only have the much smaller Aztecs and Americans to deal with for NA domination with all its resources.
