This will screw up the worker micro a little bit, but it's not too bad as we are going to net clams as a first improved tile anyways.

Sure.

I'd rather chop - putting a road there is aggressive, chopping the jungle might just seem defensive for now. Then if we want to attack with 2-movers building the road is easy anyway.

I think so.

If there is a lot of overflow keep it in wealth until it can build a forge. Actually even if not lets do that. Also lets try to get the OR bonus on any overflow...

He could pre-cottage two plains tiles before cottaging the BoP grassland. Or just head straight to the grassland wasting a turn moving?

We could add 2 chariots to the tile and try to take Nibru with 2 Chariots+bow+spear next turn, but I think we need a cover axe to do the job.. rolleye So it looks like we have to remove 2 archers and a warrior (I hope m_h finds better use for his money when defending his core cities)

I don't think we need to take the city from m_h, much better to let Mackoti take it and take the damage from attacking.

When we move our stack next to Nibru, we want to have 2 workers with the stack so that after we have taken the city we can road the tile and either start transporting units back to more flexible positions and also hit any units we want around - Our captured worker could start roading rice or iron. Iron tile would enable quicker emergency logistics to our core if needed.

The worker we captured is allowed to road that forest, so I think roading and moving our units like this is best, I'm just unsure about what to do with the chariots:


They could join our spear and 2 bows or wait 1SW of Konigs. Or they could all move to the forest hill tile 1E of Nibru, from where the sentry chariot can see over the forests. The issue here is that Mack could be bringing up a force from the south as well as from Eridu, and so could be tipped off that we are there before he takes the city... Also that the options for each side in a 3-way war split are really tricky! Ideally I'd like to have Mack move his whole stack into Nibru in two turns time, when:
- our stack is already SW of Konigs,
- our spear+2 bows+worker are on the forest,
- the road isn't yet complete
Because then he may not realise what we can do, which is:
- finish the road
- use our stack - spear first, then CII axes, to kill a lot of horse archers hammer
- use the spear on the forest to kill a HA on the other side of Nibru
- use the sentry chariot to discover if there are many more HAs around

Alternatively he may take the city then offer it to us for peace if he sees our stack on the tile 1NE?

In any case we have to wait for Mack to play to decide. Did m_h just add a warrior to be one extra unit for Mack to wade through or was it to stop our axe+spear taking the city?

Unfortunately the game is down at the moment - and I dunno if Sunrise can reload when he's in a different city?
