Turn 120 conclusion
A bit rushed this morning, but mostly_harmless kindly gifted us this worker (ie we declared and sniped him). Mackoti took Eridu this turn (SW of the peak) and could possibly take Nibru next turn or definitely the turn after. Nibru has one PRO archer in but m_h didn't whip it this turn, so we don't expect to see another unit next turn. We have a bow and a spear sitting NE of the city now, our stack is on the Worker I tile and we hope that:
a. Mackoti realises we want Nibru - that's why we've declared on m_h - and won't contest the city.
b. Mackoti does want Nibru but he only has one or two HA's left and they get badly hurt taking the city so that our spear and bow can clear it out easily, allowing time for the rest of our force to get there.
c. Mackoti takes Nibru with a weak force, sees that we have a bow and spear on the doorstep and offers the city in return for peace.
Can anyone say "wishful thinking"?
In other exciting news we're now in Caste and OR. This gives Mackoti an excellent opportunity to sweep through our core burning our empire. But that's okay, because it'll be Fintourist's fault.
And we settled Omduramn. You can just see Nuremburg up north too, for which I saved this little video just for Krill.
Edit: I don't think sharing maps with Ichabod hurts us, although our road network could be better, he's still getting happy from us and a lot of trade, it won't make sense to fight will it? Although who knows what Stupendous Man will do?
