Hmm.. A shock-axe would be more useful, because I think it has odds against any units that suttree can offer. The risk is of course that if suttree adds a huge load of units exactly this turn and the axe will be 1 turn late. On the other hand, if that attacking stack will have even 1 spear, the chariot will be just useless.. Consequently I vote for axe I think.. I mean, if we whip the city.. We probably must.. It's just really painful to whip away so good tiles:
And increase our already high unit costs.. Well, by working banana+rice Dunkirk will luckily grow fairly fast at least back to size 4.Quote:Other things we could do:
- Move Brick or Mero to the jungle to threaten the worker
Let's bring Mero to our zone defense tile E of Hastings and threaten the worker with Brick. If we manage to tie up some of suttree's axes with one non-shock bowman, that's just great and we know that we still have some time e.g. possibly to do those granary whips.
Quote:- Move BaII so m_h doesn't realise we're planting a city there soon. S or SW?
Maybe just play it conservatively and bring it closer to our workers? 1 spear is not that much.. No strong opinion here though!
Quote:I also moved LP and Lunch, who didn't uncover anything interesting. We can finish Alphabet at 80%, it's not far from finishing at 70%. We might need wealth builds to get AH next turn...
Now that we already horses, it's not that crucial whether AH comes in eot 106/7 I think. If we can get it comfortably on T106 that's nice of course, but no need to do huge sacrifices for it.
Other movement ideas:
- Let's move the warrior in Dunkirk to cows? Just in case suttree moves in/adds new forces and we need to ignore that barb. Then it might be useful to have one extra body that we can put into Hastings if needed.
- Let's move the bowman in Endor towards Dunkirk? Partly as a back-up for suttree front, partly so that it can cover the roading process to city K.
