[Spoilers] Fintourist and Old Harry have nothing to see here

[Old Harry]

I guess Mardoc on the forest hill put the fight at odds the spear didn't like, but moving Rowain onto the jungle should provoke an attack.

I think we want to promote him, right? Barbs take low odd battles too (remember that warrior that approached earlier).

Combat I again?

I think that Suttree's axe will go for the 64% shot at TheStick and the chariot will kill one of Oxy or Ceil, then if we clean up the chariot and axe with Brick and the warrior () and move THH and the surviving bowman to the dangerous tile we'll have defensive odds against both a chariot and another axe.

This is all a bit bloody though. We'll have a spear on the cow tile next turn and in Hastings the turn after. So should we play more defensively? I won't move anything over here for a little while so you can feed back.

This is possible! However, it's not guaranteed that the jungle tile (S-SE of Seville) even has a road, since coast is enough for suttree to get trade routes. I think we should play this turn still aggressively and not worry too much. I bet that suttree wants to gather his forces before countering and he won't send his units one by one to death. Remember that he does not really know whether we have more units coming to the area.

If you look at the last pic you can see the road out of the pasture goes SE, which only happens if there is a road there. Even so I like being aggressive. There is always the chance that one of the chariots is in city 2, so we have more time than we think. I'd prefer not to be trading units at this point, but if that's the cost of acquiring land so be it...

This is a sandbox of our current position (the beakers are off for some reason, but you can patch in Currency in world builder) I'll have a bit of a play before playing the rest of the turn...
