Turn 143
I played this turn quite late at night so I hope there isn't too much
. I'm greeted by an odd request - can we provide ten gold to CH? I guess that stops his units going on strike and disbanding? I declined but we can re-offer if anyone thinks it's worth it? He's still paying us 20 gpt for another turn, can he pay if he's got no cash?
Happy trouble is really biting now - mostly due to war weariness and stacked whip unhappy, but we also lost the silver trade from CH because dtay took that city. We lack dye, silver and incense and now have duplicates of Silk and Ivory. Looking around no-one who hasn't ended turn has any duplicates, so we need to move a Knight to Alfie instead of towards Mardoc, double whip the Knight in Izzy and move a knight to Kirby. I'll offer HAK Silk for his only Incense and Dazed Ivory for his only Silver. We could offer our Whale for dtay's second Silver, but I doubt he'd accept...
I reassigned most of our EPs onto Pindicator - we only need 200 to get visibility on all his cities and feel secure on that front. Actually I went for BGN's tech visibility, since we're getting a nice happy trade (fur-wine) from Pindi and don't want to risk that. We'll also have visibility on all Dtay's unfogged cities in the next couple of turns. Our other espionage goal could be to get city visibility on Mardoc, but we kinda know what he's got going on and it'd be 150 EPs.
The stack moved next to Infrared. We'll have 7 full strength and 2 injured Knights on t145. Mardoc will have at least five Longbows and a Welly. The fortify bonus and promotions don't seem as scary as last time though - our C3 Knight nearly gets odds...
Next turn we need to decide if we want to burn dtay's coastal conquests on turn 146.
- eot 144 Hazelnut, Marmalade and Ophelia can all produce Galleys
- t 145 we load Archers and Knights onto the galleys and put them in striking range of the four coastal cities (E of Marmalade, E of Hazelnut, E of Ophelia)
- t 146 we burn three cities
Currently dtay has nothing in range of them, but the Knights he just used on CH's capital might just make their way over to reinforce the coast before we can get there. If they do there isn't much point attacking. Any thoughts?
Demos and power
