Turn 161
We got Steel. Upgrading cats to cannon costs 122 each - for the 13 that I have that will be over 1500 gold. So do I save cash for four turns so that I can make the upgrade when/if Hydra declares or do I rush to Mil Trad via Music so that I can flank away his cannons?
Hydra got Steam Power. He'll either go Assembly Line to upgrade his attack force to infantry or Railroad (please god) to set up defense for himself. Guess I'll know in a few turns time...
Right now I have 9 rifles and 20 grenadiers, I'm guessing his stack will come back with ~50 units in it. In four turns I'll have 21 rifles, it'll then take another couple of turns for his stack to reach Barnet (I think I can afford to let him snipe outlying cities if it lets me destroy his stack). I have seven cannons finishing this turn and at least three next turn, 20 cannons would be an excellent number to hit a stack of 50, would 30 be better?
If I went for sci meth then physics (a cost of 2700 beakers even with bulbs) then I could get some airships out to see what he's up to. I'd love to know his troop movements, so that I can tailor my army accordingly, but I need to be able to build and upgrade my army, so it'll have to wait. Okay, I'll get music this turn in anticipation of getting mil trad so that my knights can queue-upgrade to Cav. Then I'll save some money until I'm ready to start completing Cavalry (less urgent than cannons due to 2 moves) when I'll finish Mil Trad. Grimsby will be able to 1-turn cav without even trying... <3
The sad news of the turn is that I'm not attacking Serdoa, the wiley old coot has four units in here, two of which are longbows that I won't be able to kill and the others will stop my progress even if I get lucky. I think I'll have to give up on my dreams and just send them back to face the Hydra horde.
Power after end of turn, that is what seven cannons and three rifles look like. I just to do that another three times and we'll be level! Yay!
