[spoilers] - Pindicator's Industrial March Madness!

I didn't post the idea, but I had about 10 cossacks that I was going to move into BGN's land, and use the open borders to strike from there. Was hoping that maybe you wouldn't look there for units

I was quite paranoid of BGNland, I was running recon every turn there. Still 10 coassacks would have been awkard to counter if I didn't get much notice.

I feel kinda bad for poking you to join this game if you ended up regretting it. Though nice job in holding off REM and pressuring him.

What would you have done if we had sniped your western two cities? I went back and forth about capturing them and then potentially racing REM to your core cities. Do you think you would have just holed up and punished anyone who left an opeining, or would you have disliked either us or REM more enough to tilt you towards one direction or the other? We were set up to take them amphibiously quite a few turns in a row, but we never pulled the trigger. (Later on you did defend your southwest city more seriously which put that issue to bed.)

Don't feel bad scooter. Like I said in another (the tech? I think the tech) thread, I really did want to see the game happen; it was my plan to back out after sign ups reached critical mass but for some reason I didn't go through with it.

As for the game, if you had attacked I'm not sure what I would have done. My only reason to play on at that point was to make life on my invader as hard as possible. Would that have meant I switched my focus from REM to you? Maybe.

One thing I was wondering actually - would you have sat peacefully if I had not attacked? I couldn't count on it if you read the thread and a decent sized navy would have been a headache to counter. If I could have and wasn't so open to you I would have probably gone for a quick alpha strike on scooter which made have been decisive tbh as he wouldn't have seen it coming without airships I think. But I thought you would jump in to make the game interesting...

[pindicator]

Oh absolutely. I was pretty checked out of this game almost from the start. It only got interesting 1) after you attacked and 2) when I saw the opening to destroy your airships on the island. By the way, I wanted to raze that city but couldn't because it was mostly my culture.

Razing the small city I built would have been much worse. That city was purely settled to mitigate WW giving earlier access to the +2 happy gems. Without that I would have been reeling...

At least my hunch was right and you would have jumped in v me!

Oh no, I meant that I absolutely would have done nothing if you had not invaded. I was checked out from the start.

And yeah, I was more set on destroying airships. If I had set that up a turn sooner I could have gotten 3 city's worth. But I was happy to burn the units I did, even if I didn't kill the city.
