I think I'm a mind reader. I did mention that Suttree would come back with 10 cats didn't I? (May have been in chat, not on forum) Anyway I agree with THH - it looks like three cats are heading south west. Our best-case scenario is if he goes for Koniggratz, but doesn't realise we know. Do you think he's seen our chariot and knows we know what is in Madrid? Any case we need to be sure our road will be complete in time and make a plan for getting our units down to Koniggratz... This time we should hide our axes behind the city I think.
To that end I think we need to move worker I (SE of Hastings) to continue the road a turn faster than K would manage. (K can chop or something.)
We want worker N (W of Konigs) to move N this turn, road that forest by t120 and chop t121-2. F can road the sugar t119-120 and also move to chop t121-2. Alternatively F can move N next turn and chop t120 allowing us to finish the chop t121 with help from K.
t121 may be a little hasty, but I'd rather have a bit of breathing room...
Oh and m_h didn't technically gift YM those cities. Technically. For some reason he's been pouring EPs into us for ages - we're at 107/71 I think. From war weariness it looks like YM didn't lose a battle.
It'll be nice if Suttree moves SW so we can have our stack there in case there are crumbs to mop up, but we just don't have enough spears to beat a HA-based army (I assume) so if YM don't want us to we aren't getting anything.
One other option. If we run research in Agincourt instead of the lighthouse we can complete HBR this turn so that we've got something to flank cats with. Suttree's three spears makes me think that might not be so much use, but a couple of withdrawls will give our shock axes great odds on the cats...
I did a few obvious worker moves and whipped the settler in Issy. A few things left to do:
- move our lookouts back out of sight
- move Lunch (onto Williams roads, since Bacchus doesn't seem to have opened borders with us?)
- move the galley towards Issy (but wait until Ichy plays the turn to see where the phalanx go...)
- What to do with worker N (move north to start roading)
- Worker M can build grass cottages for BoP or Agincourt?
Final thought - if we road or chop the jungle E-SE of Hastings we could 2-move Madrid from the fog... I'm off out now, so feel free to either finish the turn now or in the morning...
