Turn 170
Bacchus took a city off Pindicooter! Hoorah! And made peace. They must have offered this city for peace? Bad news is that Ichabod and William also made peace.
War Weariness of 48 doesn't sound too high (I have no idea how the mechnic works though, this could in fact be enormous) at any rate Ichabod lost a bunch of units in William's culture, maybe that means he's not turning round and coming after us...
Our knights are back on dry land. I assume our galley will go the same way as our mace, cat and the other galley did. Unless mack just wants to pillage and blockade us.
What would he accept for peace at this point? I think the workers on the jungles around Rorkes Drift need to run away, otherwise they can be got pretty easily...
We're not taking Ur this turn (or any time soon).
Gerard is a possibility.
We could move the spy SW-S-SE next turn in preparation for threatening Plainfood the same turn. We need to know if there is a stack of catapults in range of one of the stage tiles (I favour the North Eastern one at this point).
If we pre-stage our knights SE of Stalingrad they can only hit Plainfood, but they are less likely to be detected. If we stage them on the rice we can choose between Gerrard and Plainfood and if we stage 1S of the rice we can stage on all the stage tiles. So I went for SE of the city. This means that our north is somewhat open and a determined 2-mover attack will easily kill Gallipoli, but most of Macks knights are in Ur, so I think we can risk it.
After I'd moved all our knights down there I remembered that Mack has galleons now -
- so I whipped longbows in BoP and Cannae (ouch!) and moved the warrior from Agincourt down to Cannae. Cannae will hold unless there are two galleons full of Jans on their way. We need peace with Mack so badly... I think we need to move our knight stack in to threaten Plainfood next turn and demand peace. I was thinking we'd ask for Eridu in return, allowing him to make a counter offer. Of course there is a very good chance that that kills our stack of knights. But if we're not going to get eviscerated by his naval force we need to force peace with Mack somehow. I offered white peace at the end of the turn, just in case he's thinking the same...
