Turn 217
Ichabod produced a privateer and killed our heroic "Galleon 1". That's not very nice Ichabod, what have we ever done to you!
Ichabod's navy is starting to become threatening.. He has 15 Frigates already and there are 6 Galleons (+ there is potential to upgrade caravels and galleys). We have also 15 Frigates of which ~10 are/can be C1. This means that if he moves his stack towards us we won't have enough stuff to kill his ships because of coastal defense bonus (we can try our luck in 50/50-fights though).
Consequently, I'm really hoping that our crazy attack succeeds. Odds are definitely against us though, because it is pretty
I upgraded 4 knights and 1 cuir to cavalries this turn. Next turn will be the staging turn and I will upgrade 2 more (move into VV --> upgrade --> load) if it looks like that the attack is still possible. There will be 7 amphi cavs, 3 amphi cuirs, 4 rifles and 1 amphi musket attacking..
Aanyways, if Ichabod notices and protects his city properly we might need to accept that we will lose the control of the seas at least until our drydocks start pumping ships, (+ we get steam power for ironclads or sci meth + combustion for destroyers...) If it looks like Ichabod is invading we can have 20+ cavs and 10+ cannons welcoming along with 1-movers so we aren't quite defendless. This is of course especially bad scenario, because mack and dtay might get ideas..
Well, Ichabod's 40 knight stack is still hanging around near his capital.
Speaking of mack, he finished Assembly Line and first Infantries enter this party:
Aaaanyways, I haven't ended turn because we can now change civics again (I drafted 3 times this turn):
Switch back to Bureaucracy, but stay in caste? We don't really want to draft for a while and we might just get away without Slavery for a while longer.
We are namely 2nd in power now...
Btw, if we turn research on we are 2nd in GNP as well. Crazy stuff.
And power graph shows that plako has suffered huge losses when conquering Bacchus... Well, I guess there is not much that Bacchus could do.
Btw, thanks for checking around our cities. Good comments/changes! I left France to AGG Drydock for a while. It still has an unused workshop tile so it just might be an useful addition. Well, probably not.. Especially Omdu was a good change, I had planned to do the same after growing the city, but I forgot it last turn.
