[Spoilers] Old Human Tourist: Empress of Azteca

[Old Harry]

Turn 141

This turn's news: CH should be dead next turn and dtay should liberalize something in four turns. Also BGN declared on Caledorn and took a couple of cities off him.


Back home Azza made the move you expected FT - HA and chariot N of Veggies, that should get the knights in Yam an extra promotion each:


Green Knight vs HA 96%... WIN (down to 5.5)
C2 Knight vs HA 100%... WIN (down to 8.8)


I did a bit of simming to figure what's the best way to attack Red. Presumably we wanna hit it this turn rather than waiting. If so bombarding with five cats and then hitting with three should give our Knights odds in all the battles, at which point its about RNG luck... I did a few runs through:
- 0 Knights 11111
- 1 Knight 11111111
- 2 Knights 11111
- 3 Knights 111
- 4 Knights 1
And I thought it was worth the risk.

- Cat vs CG3 LB 0.2% - hit every unit but didn't scratch the LB
- Cat vs CG3 LB 0.2% - hit every unit but again didn't scratch the LB
- Cat vs CG3 LB 0.2% - hit every unit but didn't scratch the LB


This is pretty bad - the cats had a 50% chance of scratching the LB each fight so we should have got 1-2 hits in . Now our C3 Knights get 28%, C2 get 24% and C1 gets 12%. So I sent in a C2 Knight that needed 4 XP for the next promo...
- C2 Knight vs CG3 LB 24%... WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!11!!eleven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!!


Now the C3 Knight gets 83% while C2 only gets 70%, so:
- C3 Knight vs CG3 LB 83%... LOSS (down to 0.7/6)
- C3 Knight vs CG3 LB 85%... WIN (down to 6.2/10)

And the next LB isn't fortified so C2 Knights jump up to 83%:
- C2 Knight vs CG3 LB 83%... WIN (down to 4.4/10)
- Green Knight vs CG3 LB 87%... WIN (down to 1.0/10, but two promotions available, so back up to C2 7.7/10)
- C2 Knight vs Axe 99%... WIN (no hits!)
- HA vs Chariot 99%... WIN (5.0/6)
- HA vs LB 99%... WIN and we get 81 gold. The Granary survived, but I don't think we can keep the city so I burnt it. Only one Knight lost, so that was about average luck for once .


Before taking the city our Morale GG chariot checked on the stack in Mardoc's capital and pillaged another cottage.


I covered the stack with another knight, which should do the trick defensively. The tile SW of Broccoli should flip to us next turn.


Domestically I 2-pop whipped the bank in butterscotch (and turned tech on this turn to get the benefit again next turn). I also 1-pop whipped a cat in Lucky, 1-pop whipped the SA in Pickle and 2-pop whipped the forge in Quentin.
