Hear hear! Do you know what the plan for nerfing Mackoti is? Making him lose high-odds battles to barbs doesn't seem to work...

Obviously mackoti no longer receives horses. He'll have to conquer someone to get knights.

Dude, it's Mackoti. He's going to be onto your weakness like stink on poop.

Also, color me not all that shocked that GermanJoey feels threatened by the potential of someone claiming first ring cities from their capital, so decides that an all-in war on T37 is necessary. lol

Doesn't look like Haram has hooked up Copper yet, so popcorn

Is it really that dangerous for Joey if Haram claims that city? I'm not sure what to make of Joey's analysis.

Copper is overrated. Least necessary strategic resource in the game.

Well, I suppose that isn't quite as true if everyone has copper at the capital, but even then chariots and archers work if you play smart.

Joey's overstating the risk of getting forked. Forks work best when 2 cities are threatened on the same turn, and looking at my predicted dotmap on Joey's land, I don't think that will end up being the case.

Newer players tend to be either completely passive or completely paranoid and lashing out at the smallest slight.

That new city really sucks, no food specials at all. He really should have settled 1S, it's a similar tactical situation, and it also has the benefits of getting cultural vision over the landbridge, blocking Haram from settling fish in 1st ring.

Now, I'm just a simple FFH player & ain't got no fancy BTS degree or nothin', but shouldn't Germanic Jojo here be building, idk, settlers? Why would you grow your capital vertically when you only have two other cities (one just founded) & wasted about a hundred hammers to pillage a fur?
