Turn 224
Good news - BGN's fleet is either holding position or moving north. He could still burn one or two of our coastal cities if he wanted, but I assume a war declaration would be more ambitious than that.
Bearing that in mind we can commit to attacking TBS with as much stuff as possible - the current plan is:
EOT225 - discover Radio
EOT226 - complete 7 bombers, start RnR and Eiffel
EOT227 - complete 3 more bombers
- start moving our fleet towards Lashing
T228 - move our fleet to the tile 1S of Lashing
- put 8 bombers in Ratholas & Hearthstone along with bodyguard force of 6 Inf, 3 MG. Put 2 bombers in LaFell (I tested and it looks like you do get defensive bonus from someone else's city)
T229 - attack Kharbranth or Arcanclave
TBS has 6 Destroyers in Lashing, 5 more completing in nearby cities over the next four turns and 7 Frigates that he could upgrade making a total of 18 that could try to sink our fleet. If we upgrade two Frigates next turn then we'll have 18 as well - however upgrading two Frigates is problematic for getting Radio in time - we may need some wealth builds or should we rely on defensive bonii and slightly better promos on our Destroyers to ensure that if TBS does attack win two battles well enough that our Transports and Carrier won't be targeted?
An impenetrable spreadsheet showing where we're building wonders and bombers is here and I was wondering where TBS's Heroic Epic was. I don't think it'll make a big difference, but it looks like he's getting 10XP units out of here, so we should beware of amphibious attack.
Demos and power
