Tofu Injection posted:Goon games typically let you take 1 or 2 turns a day. The 17 day wait is because the Nubia patch screwed Mac users and they need to wait for it to come to their platform. Yeah, it's not our fault they can't get their poo poo together and put out the Mac patch at the same time.

Gold, gold, gold. Buy literally everything. E: A Venice start on the coast next to a desert nets you the Colossus and Petra specifically.

Look at this scrub who forgot Venice rose to power by making GBS threads out the most powerful navy in the world for several hundred years. Buy yourself an enormous loving navy to protect that trade, yo.

I think you're confusing "good" and "plays like a variation on every other civ." Also, I'd be up for a GMR game with me as Venice and you as the Civ of your choice if you'd care to settle this like gentlemen.

Byzantine posted:Justinian/Theodora (as in, both of them) would be awesome. Baldwin I  Byazntine and I have managed about 45 turns of our Venice-Byzantium GMR game, and so far it's shaping up to be very interesting. The game spawned us both on the same continent so naturally we're already at war with each other.

Byzantine posted:Baldwin and co never claimed to be Roman Emperors (because to Catholics, the Roman Empire was the state based in Germany - it wasn't even called the Holy Roman Empire until 1254). The Latins instead called themselves "Emperors of Romania".  quote:And despite the best efforts of Perfidious Venezia, Sinai has been claimed for the empire. Venezia forgot how annoying barbs can get when you only have one city for them to attack. The Deleter posted:Gluing leader chat and historical accuracy chat together, Charlemagne would be under Germany here, right? It's pretty explicitly based on the HRE, and Charlemagne with U-Boats is a funny mental image, but would he bring anything to the table that Frederick doesn't already? Wouldn't Charlemagne be more appropriate under the French, or "Franks" if you want to get super accurate?

(I'll narrate the game from Venice's POV). In a game strangely reminiscent of actual history, the Republic of Venice dealt a crippling blow to the Byzantine Empire from which it will likely never recover. We started on the same continent and began our war in the ancient era. Byzantium exerted its control over Venice early, forcing the Most Serene Republic to play a defensive game for the first half. Barbarian ships wrecked our trade until a suitable navy could be built, but by that point we were slipping behind scientifically. It was only because of an amazing start that Venice built not only the Colossus and Petra but the Great Lighthouse as well. Once the Venetian fleet took control of the waves, we slowly built our infrastructure and kept a defensive military. Byzantium forward-settled on our doorstep so we knew it was a matter of time before their troops showed up. We blitzed to Compass so we could build our Great Galleass, and demonstrated the full power of the Arsenale as we cranked out cargo ships, galleass', and eventually cannons at a breakneck speed. With science slipping further behind the AI and an unhappy empire we couldn't acquire enough luxuries to placate, we knew it was only a matter of time and launched our attack. Our ever-growing fleet eliminated Byzantine coastal colonies, razing them to the ground, and fighting a pitched battle ever closer to Constantinople. Meanwhile our defensive troops went on the offensive, capturing the forward-settled city and burning it down. At this point the game could continue but things are looking good for Venice and its Stato del Mar. Meanwhile, elsewhere in the world, an unmet civ is nearly 2 tech levels ahead of Venice, so it may inevitably be eclipsed by the Iroquois (I think) and slowly decline into irrelevance. Or buy the gently caress out of the city-states and declare endless naval war and destroy them.

Yeah, once I had a good trade network established and I grabbed the mercantilism civic, I was buying Great Galleass' every 2 turns for 240 gold. That's value for your attacking power!

Elias_Maluco posted:Im not ok with everyone hating me for thousands of years because I took a city from some rear end in a top hat who attacked me for no reason My grandfather hated the "Japs" until the day he passed away because they attacked Pearl Harbor.
