Suttree played and I logged in to see what he did. Well, I'm a bit surprised..

Ok..
- Unsurprisingly he did not accept our peace offer
- He roaded those horses and apparently deleted those 2 workers?
- He retreated his axe presumably S-SE and we can simply raze Seville next turn.
- He performed 3 whips, I think they are all double/triple-whips.
These actions give me a very bad feeling. It looks very much to me that suttree has given up the game and is only interested in revenge (deleting workers, but saving an axe, immediate whips..).. Can those whips be chariot dry-whips? He lost 3,3 and 2 points respectively (score went from 139 to 131). I'll calculate in a minute how many pop points where really whipped away.. He only got horses online this turn so if he is producing mounted units it can only happen via dry-whipping, right? And in RB-Mod you would need a triple-whip to produce over 30 hammers with dry-whip, right.
Well he can't produce anything that gets odds against our bowmen defending in a city on a hill, but we have to be extra careful regarding how we protect our workers and make sure that we have enough defenses.. At the same time I do not want to over-invest into units. That will lose us the game as well!
I'm also wondering whether we should try to pillage that pasture + road. That pasture does not bother me, but thanks to that road a mounted unti can attack us directly from the fog and one-movers can move next to our city in a similar fashion as we did.. We most definitely start with barracks in Hastings, but building time + 10 turns to pop borders is same as forever. I very much doubt that suttree will accept a peace offer, should we even bother?
Anyways, I guess we can congratulate ourselves for the successful attack that most definitely weakened our neighbor and got us the city plant we wanted. And it has not even cost a single unit so far.
Time tells..
