27 Insanely Important Things To Know About Fighting TBS
(Based on what we can see, which isn't everything)
1. He doesn't have much siege. But presumably will get Artillery after Combustion for Destroyers and er... Artillery.
2. I think his expansion was carried out with Cuirassiers and he's been farming hard since then.
3. He's drafting Infantry. Seems to be doing five a turn (and why not).
4. He has some border tensions with GermanJoey, meaning only a portion of his army will be waiting for us.
5. The major force is in Lashing. From here his 16 2-movers can reinforce either of our target cities immediately. We should kill them all easily, but that slows the capture and gives him more time to react.
6. I'm guessing these reinforcements are heading towards Lashing.
7. Unless we get lucky it'll take our 10 Amphi Infantry two turns to capture Arcanclave.
8. Our airships can hit Kharbranth from dtay's city of Raholas and they can hit Arcanclave and Lashing from Edelman.
9. Declaring on TBS also means war on dtay, so we'll need to be sure about teleport mechanics - will it send us back to the south or over to plako's culture?
10. Nope. It sends us to the west
.
11. So this might make it a bit clearer. I've modeled dtay's culture closely, but didn't bother planting our cities on the north continent in the sim - will that matter? The upshot is that if we time the declaration right we can get all our 6-movers to be one turn from Kharbaranth, covered by the Frigates we already have up in the north. I'll need another look (next turn) to figure out the timings properly, but I think we probably declare t218. If we're going to attack.
12. Unless we can get open borders from dtay straight away we won't have air support to soften up the defenders.
13. Is there any chance that we can get TBS to declare on us to save us having to risk the teleportation dance?
14. Er...
15. How do buzzfeed do it?
