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

[Old Harry]

Suttree ruined his game by playing really weak the first 100 turns..

I bet he discovered he started by YuriMack and decided axes were better than plowshares. Actually I'd bet they contested that gold site and Suttree lost. Against Mackoti that isn't weak, its normal. I do think deleting two workers to dry-whip three chariots was stupid though. He could have given us that city and then come back in ten turns with a far more efficiently-assembled army and taken Hastings then Jamestown off us (because we wouldn't have built all these units if he hadn't put up a fight...)

We know for sure that suttree has put two turns into chopping that forest (that was visible at the end of the last turn) and I think suttree has not had time to put more worker turns over there.

Just because the roll-over says chop doesn't mean that's what the worker did...

One scenario for suttree would be to attack Brick despite the jungle defense and move his troops onto the tile SE of Hastings. If that happens, let's hope that Brick takes two axes with him..

I think this is the tile THH meant. And this is probably the move that causes us most trouble, splitting our forces and threatening to cut Jamestown off completely, but he's been able to move SE of Hastings for ages and hasn't done it, so I think he's after Jamestown. If he does go there we move our four bowmen, spear and two shock axes into the city and win all of the initial defensive battles, thanks to bowmen on hills. Then hopefully our defenders are still strong enough to repel the second wave and our reinforcements from Jamestown arrive to mop up...

I'd really like to chop all the jungle south of Hastings ASAP, but I don't see a safe way to do it.

In other thoughts - hey! We can build spies now! Should we go peek inside Suttree's borders?
