Ha! So can I expect an updated sandbox from you...
Quote:If we need to build research in cities without barracks we should do it - the hammers going into units at the moment are okay, but they only really pay off when a city needs MP or someone attacks us. Another thing that'll help us is if we can get some more foreign contacts for known-tech-bonus - an exploring workboat or galley on the north coast would be useful.
We should not really need to build research, maybe for one turn in Daisy on T92 (works nicely), but that's pretty much all unless my calculations are completely off..
And yeah, we absolutely want a WB/galley or two out of our coastal cities for scouting now that we can sail through Cyneheards and CH's land.
Quote:BTW from his PBEM58 thread (spoilers
) it sounds like someone is attacking CH in this game. I don't like the idea of suddenly bordering Novice or Plako
.
Based on civstats it's Whosit! Iiiintresting
I would be very surprised if Whosit can actually conquer CH at this point. CH's 9 cities (now 8 I guess) mean that there is significant production power. Let's monitor the situation anyways and build some opportunistic galleys if I'm wrong and CH starts going down rapidly. Otherwise it sounds like that we might have a 2nd crippled neighbor alongside Azza, which might become handy one day.. However, I wonder if there is someone out there in a better position to benefit from that conflict, kind of like how we are following the Azza-Mardoc situation. Naval invasions including multiple galleys aren't the most attractive thing on paper, but maybe we wipe Azza and Mardoc with an enormous horde of knights and then use Galleons to conquer Cheater Hater..? 
Btw, based on civstats it seems that Q attacked wetbandit and took/razed a city. And apparently LexiSilva is going to replace Q.. That already sounds like a huge amount of
Lexi does not strike me as the most competitive newcomer of RB history so I wonder what happens.. Probably someone benefits eventually big time..
