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

[Fintourist]

G put another turn into the cottage and will move to put a chop into France's forest then head to the jungle, that means Isandlwana grows onto that cottage when D completes it on t106 and then onto the mine on t209.

I like this!

I like keeping BoP at size six - so next turn should it give the fish back to Agincourt or fill the food box so it can whip and grow and stay at size six soon?

I think BoP should keep the food until Agincourt can use the fish for growing! So still 3 turns? Maybe we want to whip a galley or WB if we run out of tiles?

I think city K should claim more of the river valley, probably the desert hill.

I think that's solid, Lets organize this.

Demos

Our demos really suck currently. Luckily it is partly due to our whipping cycle (already 3 pop growths this turn). We are now about to improve several good tiles and start finally growing our cities. Our demos should look better in 5 turns and significantly better in 10 turns. If we are not clearly in top 5 by then, I start worrying.

Breaking news:

Unfortunately it looks like suttree just wants to see us burn..



My screenshot failed, but that's 6 axes, one of them is C1.

Ok, he might just station his units, but let's assume he moves in (this time NW-NE I guess):

The good thing is that we will still get 1 turn time to heal our units even if he moves in immediately. Especially getting Hydra up from 3.7 improves his attacking odds significantly. And also, even without chariots our elite units are well suited for killing axes. So if suttree moves in we will have 4 units that easily have odds against his axes:
Namely two C2 shock axes & two C1 Shock Bowmen

So the expected result is that we kill 3 or even 4 axes after he moves in and hopefully clean up the rest turn after. But, you never know. RGN gives, RNG takes.. Let's hope that our good rolls continue!

Anyways, it looks like he cleaned up all his defenses from the south. Let's hope that this does not mean a completely open invitation for Yurimack. I don't like the fact that they are already benefitting from our conflict and even less if they start taking free cities from suttree.

Btw, in hindsight we should not have moved Mero with the stack and just heal him. However, I did not expect suttree to simply throw more or less every single unit he has on us. I guess your earlier comment was correct and he just wants to send a message that helps him in future games... That's bad for us of course..

Well, let's wipe those units if he attacks again.

Things to consider next turn:
- let's put hammers into bowman in Jamestown? Just in case..
- Do we want to get earlier AH? (I know what Hydra's opinion is here!) I'm kind of still leaning towards maintaining our original plan. We should have appropriate means to deal with that stack and if he attacks we won't have horse hooked up and chariots produced in time to contribute anyways
- Suggest banana for horses trade with dtay?

If we would get horses quickly, we could divert one of the chops at Jamestown into a chariot. That's a clear economical setback, but still something to consider.

Well, it seems every turn is interesting currently. That's at least something
