[Spoilers!]---Superdeath hopes for a better Pitboss.

[superdeath]

Turn 149-  Huge report. Image's should be spoilered to show appropriate players.

Because i know everyone else will be doing a huge turn 150 report.. im going to be the oddball and do one This turn :D


Currently whipping/building knights and some last minute infrastructure before i grab a couple cities off of Yuri. I only really plan on getting the 2 border ones, but if i can get another safe one, i wont say no.. it looks like we will have a 3 way border between Us, Wetbandit, and Ipecac. Perfect. Should mean that if one of them attacks, the other likely will take a bite out of them.

Current Plan:

Take Yuri's border cities, ramp up units/defense in islands/JR4's border as he is teching Compass, which likely means going for sea dominance. Once i believe i can hold my cities, i take my superior city count/production/something and slam it into WLP. If i can take a good chunk of his land... i might have a chance at winning. Otherwise, the plan is to not die. Since i have a whole bunch of cities... This shouldnt be a problem unless people want to spend 6months trying to take 3 cities

My civ-

I have some room for a couple fillers, but nothing that is priority... i think.

JR4-

Next up, we have our runnerup/winner of pb39 ( if im being honest ) I currently have 90EP/turn and have city vision on him and WLP. Ive decided to burn EP into Ipecac to keep watch on his cities next, then im going to go for Wetbandit, as he is the next highest EP spender, and likely trying to stop me from having tech vision on him..


WLP-

He has a boatload of cats. a small stack of axes by our border, and is sandwiched between me, JR4, and Ipecac.. Not the best spot to be in, i feel like he should have been able to take his early game + religion + stonehenge into a closer to JR4 superiority.. But to his credit, he did take over this civ after Ghostpants never returned from wherever he went.

Wetbandit-

Before grabbing the pyramids, he was basically the "i am boudicca, do you really want to fight me? " and then he got pyramids and abused them pretty hard, to rocket into a hell of a tech advantage, which he has used to likely be first to knights, and is proceeding to eat Yuri.. Luckily Dark Savant got the Statue of Zues, and i dont think this game will see Pentagon era before someone is called the winner.

Ipecac-

From reading past pitbosses and seeing peoples reactions to him, i pegged him as alot more... warlike, kind of like an OT4E. He is keeping a BOATLOAD of units of JR4's pinned down in a border city, and ate a good chunk of Yuri already... Hope he and Wetbandit can bash heads.

Yuri-

Dont know what to say... Killed my scout when i tried to get him back, i could have razed his border city, but im doubtful that that was the right move. Seeing that he was the only other person to be as low as i am/was on the power ranking, i would have liked to have attacked earlier, much earlier.. Could have taken a good chunk of him with some concentrated whipping/chopping of War Chariots, but...  i wanted to be somewhat peaceful this time around... Then he killed my scout. The war coming soon, will be to avenge the scout!!

Dark Savant-

The true wildcard of this game i think. Whereas i will 90% lose, Dark Savant is a major decider.. I dont know if he has enough land/production/research ect to manage a win at this point, but whomever he ends up attacking ( if he does ) will not win the game. He borders Ipecac, Wetbandit and now JR4 where Charriu's head used to be


Closing thoughts-

I would rank myself next lowest compared to Yuri. With it looking like JR4- Ipecac/wetbandit- Dark Savant/WLP- Me- Yuri. Some things i would have done differently in this game, Attacked Yuri. Gone for a better wonder.. Likely would have settled slightly better spots then i ended up with.

Any questions?
