Quick comments about the current turn:
- Game seems to be down. I'll head to the university for some hours, but will be able to finish our turn in the afternoon so you don't Harry need to worry if you have a long working day ahead of you. YM has not played yet either..
Suggestions:
- Let's put one worker onto forest SW of Königgrätz this turn. It can chop in a defensive bowman for the city or if we feel more confident those hammers can go e.g. into granary/barracks. It would be nice to have an option to finish a defensive unit in 3 turns if suttree starts moving towards us..
- I think I already said it, but let's put one hammer into bowman in Gallipoli and possibly whip it next turn.
- Do we want to whip the axe in Dunkirk?
- This is clear, but in the north we move the settler to desert hill and cover it with spear while the bowman can protect worker if needed (i think dtay had his sentry chariot in range)
Yeah, I'm fine with delaying the road and taking care of eastern front first. Note that thanks to our border pop suttree can't anymore move onto tile SE of Hastings without us knowing in advance.
Currently there are 2 bows + spear. I think we want to whip another bowman next turn in Gallipoli and chop a bow in königgrätz so I think we will have at least 4 bows + spear in the city at the time when suttree can attack (if he attacks). Note that the city is on a hill so our bowmen are pretty strong defenders so suttree needs to send a significant force if he wants to take that city. (couple of cats + 7-10 axes will of course do it, but that might leave us an opening in the eastern front.. So I think suttree is not allowed to send too big or too small stack towards Königgrätz if he both wants to take the city and defend his border city in the east)

Quote:A bowman there could be worthwhile in a little while if we're stretched too thin right now. I'm more concerned about getting borders or a galley in position at Jamestown so we can see that gems tile. What units will be available to defend Koniggratz?
