I was going to step back from this game for a while as I didn't think my offensive against Halvgud was going to have much content worth reporting, but here's the situation:
Halvgud unexpectedly moved EVERYTHING to the east, abandoning his core shrine city - this turn I killed a lone axe to take the city (60% culture defense on a hill) and killed an adjacent mini stack (axe, two spears) - my total losses: two axemen???? Now his mega stack is sitting in the middle of nowhere, having abandoned his other frontline city to the flames. I've killed 3 workers and captured 2. He gets construction soon, but so do I, so I'm not sure where he's going with this. I PM'd Ceiliazul to check if Halvgud was just giving up because this doesn't seem to be fair to the other players, but it seems he has a plan. :
If so, I'm pretty sure it's not a winning plan, just a plan to cost me hammers. Remember, my only goal for this war was to stop Russia from teching. Now Russia is irrelevant and, whatever I do, she'll be eventually eaten by myself or Retep/BGN.
Kind of silly, I think.
