Yea and they keep going and going
I find Fantastical map very spacious. My latest games are duel size maps with 8-10 players.
Here ye here ye. Let it be known the game is not bugged. The glorious and magnificent empire of Korea has met and declared war on the dastardly struggling nation of Portugal. It just happened to be later than the normal 10 turns is all.
It was back and forth for a long while until the techs kicked in. It was fun.
Dang, Ozy must be getting big while me and Dan trade shots at each other. And all this time I thought Valamas was going to show up with a slew of units at my back door.
Sorryā¦ exactly where is your back door ? 
Ironically enough, my back door is on the opposite side of my empire as my front door 
Oddly enough I had the same thoughts. Not backdoor related though 
At least itās not one of those mountain maps, where there are only ever side entrancesā¦
Thanks all. Looking forward to the next game like this. Having the AI adds a lot. But so far, I have spawned next to my eventual conquerors.
And so it begins. I donāt know where you are Ozy, but I know where one of your Suzerian city-states is.
Did you discover me last turn and not declare war? I went ahead and declared war.
Ummm, I think I declared war on someone last turn, as a last thought, but donāt remember it being you.
It is true that I always need to make the effort to think about āis this game always warā while not always remembering the necessity.
As I donāt recall having many suzerainities (?) that might help locating you at least. But Iām a pussycat really
A few things surprised meā¦were these known/planned?
building my first gdr (certainly when it might make a difference) ā¦ ok, not plannedā¦
we only get one vampire ?
jet fighters cannot attack cities at all?
jet bombers cannot attack cities where the location is known and within range ? unless some other unit is within sight of the city?
I had three vampires, you do need to promote the cult.
I am getting crushed and my biplanes died. But fighters should be able to attack cities. I have seen the bomber bit before, doesnāt make much sense.
Your GDR surprised me. That was not planned, and should not have happened. I think you should delete it.
I have 3 vampires running around. Unfortunately I never built a vampire castle because my vampires are too busy fighting Danās.
Jet fighters can attack cities but their range is very limited. The best way to fight with fighters is to put them on patrol close to the enemy city - I noticed you did that already. Then on your turn use your fighter to attack the city. But be warned, putting your fighters on patrol puts them at risk to get attacked by the enemy.
Jet bombers can attack cities but only if they can see the city. A good technique is to keep a cavalry unit close to enemy city. Then on your turn move the cavalry unit in the borders to see the city, use bombers to bomb the city, then move cavalry away from the city center so you donāt get attacked. Do the same thing next turn.
Ok, but you canāt do any of the above this game. Only in future games 
Sorry, Iām still confused.
GDRs.
Was I supposed to not build GDRs ? From your statement I guess not.
Was it stated/ or did we agree to not build these or should the settings have prevented it? If I need to delete the ones I have, then I have also wasted/am wasting a load of production across several cities.
My statement before was simply intended as an ironic comment that this was the first time I managed to build one anywhere near āon timeā in a game. I had not realised it was an issue in itself.
Vampires.
I got one right at the beginning of establishing the cult, and I have right now, and have had in the past, a number of governor promotions available.
But never saw any promotion options open up on that vampire window, so I appear too be stuck with only one ?
iirc, the vampire screen is supposed to show all the promotion options, but they remain greyed out and unavailable until the related era starts, when they can be selected if a governor promotion exists. Here there are no options at all, the window is empty.
Jet Fighters.
I absolutely cannot attack cities. One or two or a few turns ago Dogboyās city attacked my jet fighter circling two hexes away. That fighter could not attack that city in return. That city (and others) will not light up when I go to select a target for attack. That city had other units next to it so it could be attacked by jet bomber, but this is not working for the fighters.
Jet Bombers.
From your comments I guess the {only if the city is ālit upā by other units} is expected.
Also, not sure exactly which you mean by (OK, but canāt do any of the above this game}
First, he is kidding about the GDRs. I can help point out some useful places to stomp some annoying MAs if needed.
Vampires, you should have an available promotion at each era. Not sure what is going on.
Not sure what you have regarding fighters and bomber. What he says about spotting cities is correct. Stupid restriction imho.
My question, how do you get a city to bombard when you want it to rather than when it allows you to? I am getting annoyed by the game telling me how to play my turn.
