[spoilers] Dragon Slayers and Warrior Knights, Oh my!

[Ranamar]

That has got to be one of the most fortuitous events I have ever seen. "Pop the borders of all my cities? Yes, please!"

[WarriorKnight]

Got Warfare with practically max overflow and will get CoL in 3t, after which I'll pull a double switch. GNP is still bad compared to Kurio's/Aristofarms, but food and MFG are actually reasonably competitive against non-Kurio's. Course, once I do my food will drop, but cest le vie. Otherwise, things are coming along smoothly. Just got Orion to size 11 (highest out of non-Kurio cities I believe) and am now working on settlers for cities 5 & 6. City 5 will get the jungle spot marked earlier in the SE, while 6 will probably go to my NE to complete the ring around my capital.

And some screenies:









Bit of Calabim diplomacy to finish off:

Hey, I took a look in game and I can see the borders of 2 of Yell0w's cities. Going off that, here are the locations of those cities as taken from the rice 2E of your newly expanded borders (next to the crab - nice city spot!).

Capital - 15 E, 1N
2nd city - 16E, 4S

All the best,
Jalepeno

Hey jalepeno,

Thanks for the info. I'd give you exact directions to the Khazad but my sources tell me you've just met anyway, so it's unneeded info. In fact, I think you may be the first civ to contact everyone. Congratulations on that, in honor, you can start the banter thread if you want (aka the 'diplo message to send to everyone once per turn' thread). Or not if you don't want to, your choice.

Anyway, I'm not sure what else we can do right now unfortunately. If you do find something though, don't hesitate to send me a message.

Regards,
WarriorKnight

Seems friendly enough to give out free info (even though said info isn't really helpful to me atm) although he might be trying too hard to do so. Still far too early to tell though.

[WarriorKnight]

Both BP and Drama bard have fallen. It looks like Yell0w took BP while jalepeno got Drama. Bit surprised Yell0w would build BP this early, but I guess he is IND.

[WarriorKnight]

Been lax in updates, mostly because the demo's continue to be disappointing and updates would only consist of me doubting future chances in this game. That said, I am still having fun with this game. Why just last turn, I got declared on for the 2nd time this game, by Yell0w the turn after I met him no less. Apparently it was because he couldn't let me pop a mistform near his border, even though he didn't even consider that I had no intention. Man, he's hung up about that. Still, I hope we can work this out because he could be useful in the long term.

Anyways, FotT should be a lock and I've got Writing now too. Kurio's have Trade though and are up a huge number of techs... But oh well.

[Ranamar]

been lax checking in, so I guess we're even...

So... he declared on you to keep you from killing a mistform? Weird.

Yeah, I was kinda shocked myself. It seems he's willing to compensate it for something down the road though, so I'm happy about how things have worked out somewhat. He's going to be an extremely valuable ally if I can keep him on my good side, and aside from this DOW incident he could be helpful as wither a war ally against Sian or a obstacle against Vamp domination.

FotT should be done next turn, which is good as it lets me put my 2nd city back on REXing.

Otherwise not much happening, I've held the save for a week as Sian can't play for 2 weeks.

[WarriorKnight]

Built FotT. Nice to have some good news once in a while. Sadly my happy cap is starting to be a pain, as HK cancelled the cotton deal we had and I'm unable to sell them to anyone else. Still, as long as no-one is invading me for now, I'll have fun while I can. Picked up Construction en route to Sanitation, I can tech there surprisingly quickly (although it's nothing compared to TBS).

Planting my 7th city in a couple of turns, probably will post some shots once that happens.

[WarriorKnight]

TBS popped a dungeon near my border and spawned an Azer which is now headed in my direction. I hope I can fend it off without losing any cities but I doubt it. Needless to say, I'm not very happy with TBS right now. Considering how far behind I am though, there's nothing I can do about it.

[WarriorKnight]

Thankfully, the Azer died to the first warrior it attacked, so no damage done.

Sanitation is in finally, so I finally get a much needed food boost but also Public Baths which give a much needed happy boost. Hunting will also come in very soon giving me ivory which is another happy boost. It feels like things are starting to come together, although a bit late to matter.

Do you plan any bulbing abuse?
