Turn 159
Thanks, it's nice to know they're getting read.
TBS is being a dick. He's stretching to settle stuff and then backfill. Perhaps we should have done this too, and perhaps (belatedly) we are doing this now. But its annoying. Why can't he just let us catch him up easily? Huh?
The spear moves to uncover a sheep and we move our settler to confront TBS. If we hadn't been playing after Elkad we could have got this location.
The possibilities for settling now are a bit restricted, but if we can beat TBS to two of these red sites I'll be fairly happy.
This turn Toku didn't play early - possibly because Elkad played late - but the upshot is that we'll play before him and have first shot when peace expires next turn. We're sure he's whipped another round of knights, but it's odd that he hasn't been going much harder for units. I guess he's got plenty of power to finish Elkad off so maybe he didn't think more was necessary? The upshot is that with defences like this I feel fairly confident that if he did come for us we'd do okay.
Anyway, to business!
C2 Knight vs crossbow - 75%...
FLAWLESS WIN!!!!!
The forge and granary survive.
Also when Toku played after us he didn't take Seoul, so he may be happy to war/peace us next turn.
We move our morale GG medic up to see if Elkad has a stack ready to hit Wonsan from 2E of the city, but oddly there's nothing there! The knight stack moves to threaten Namp'o and there is a worker, but he's going to escape. The idea here is that Toku won't know where the knighs have gone and so will assume we're back defending our core when we war/peace next turn, then we can use the enforced peace to take/burn some more cities.
On tech we're pondering if TBS is getting early chemistry or if we can cause him some hassle for causing us hassle in the new world. We know that Mack, Pindicator and Xenu all have paper (good news that Mack won't be able to sandbag liberalism, but he's still way ahead on the race ) so it looks like two people have gunpowder already, we know Mack has it, so is the other one TBS? He's been drafting for a few turns, but I haven't spotted any muskets yet - just lots of maces - with the scouts in his lands. So we don't think he has gunpowder yet. In which case it would have to be Commodore, dtay or Gavagai/BGN.
