[Spoilers] Fintourist and Old Harry have nothing to see here

[Old Harry]

(BTW - It's strange to play a game where no-one is rushing to rifling... Did it get over-nerfed?)

Hmm, Commodore has PP, surely has Banking, but unlike everyone else with PP does not have RP in "Can Research" section. And he surely has Gunpowder, but there is no Rifling in "Can Research" either. That should mean that he has Rifling or am I missing something?

Oops! That makes him much more dangerous than I thought then. Especially for William, Pindicooter and Dtay...

T0: Finish Astronomy and complete 0-4 galleons via auto-upgrade
T1-2: Upgrade 0-4 galleys to galleons, load units and place them on staging tiles. Meanwhile stage X Knights/Cuirs behind Nürenburg (not too early, just in case Ichabod has spies wandering)
T3: Take SB, SG & Eyes, Unload X Knights at Eyes and move them in position to attack 4th City (plains hill 2E of the city).
T4: Take one more city (whatever the name was)
T5-15: Try to take final island city from Ichabod, control waters with few frigates and possibly try to get peace.

I'm sure if OH gets excited he will at some point provide an illustration of this.

Wish->Command.


Yellow is T3, Orange is T4, Red is T5. The stuff up north is probably a fantasy.

Razing the capital would knock him out of the game, possibly allowing William to clean up the rest of his cities. So I think we want to land a strike force to make that threat and ask for peace in return for the island cities we can't take on T3... Burning as many coastal cities as possible is vital if we're going to control the water between us. I'd really like to get a foothold on that continent, but Ichabod has too big a stack for that to be plausible...
