[Spoilers] Old Human Tourist: Empress of Azteca

Pity about the caught spies. Elens cathedrals are the first target, but probably Basilisk cathedrals are the next priority before minor infra in Elen? Depends a bit on whether spies or EPs are our bottle neck and TBS cash reserves.

And yeah, i don't think BGN is even remotely close to 1-turning remaining techs so in that sense we should have some headroom.

Turn 263

I know what The Deflator refers to. So he took out Butt Fumble (because its empty it doesn't count as a combat) and got 85 gold. Then he hit Theros for 143 gold smile. Looks like this city was pretty industrialized, so that's nice.


EliDefBrady2008 on the other hand Iiam. He did get us 147 gold smile. I was tempted to keep the units in case we'd be able to get some more razes next turn, but dtay isn't an idiot, so I deleted them.


On to sabotage... The first spy takes out the Confucian Academy, the second is caught, the third takes out the Jewish Synagogue. We could take out a Theater or Monastery too but we've only got two spies left (with another two arriving next turn and able to sabotage t265 and seven able to sabotage t266) so I'd rather have two chances get the Taoist Pagoda next turn...


Two more turns.


This is my new favourite graph.

Good stuff, how is it looking with further spies after the ones you mentioned?

Eot264-stasis-life support-math is rock solid?

If nothing goes wrong we'll have 8 spies a turn for the foreseeable future. Although dtay is sending his fleet north too, so we'll probably only get 8 or 16 more after the current 7. Plus the one airlifted each turn.

Given no sabotage it should be fine. please

Aah, 8 per turn even for couple of turns is good! And closer to the end a suicide move should get more spies over! smile

Turn 264 prologue

We got the Life Support and BGN didn't sabotage Zucchini again. So if we settle the Great Engineer we finish the Stasis Chamber and launch eot. dancing

We did catch a spy near Carrot and we lost two of the spies travelling to Elsenfar, but we'll get two shots at taking out the Pagoda. If the first one succeeds do we take out the Confucian Temple or the Theatre next? The temple gets the Sistine bonus doesn't it?


Something odd from civstats - what's William up to?


Finally, we have a bunch of ships covering our spy-transports. Dtay has at least 27 Destroyers that can hit us, so he won't kill them on the first attempt, but with his air power he should on the second. All our boats are 7-movers, so we could drop off the spies 1N of Ryan and make it back to the fort in our territory. Then we probably need to move everything from Jelly into the fort to ensure dtay can't kill them with the 15 Artillery, and the huge numbers of Cannons, Cats, Rifles, Infantry and Cavalry that are in reach frown.


Hmmm. That sounds way more dangerous than staying at sea. Perhaps our best move is to head to one of the "safeish" signs - only four fighters can hit us on those and even though our boats are pretty badly scratched we should win a decent number of battles. The island-location even forces him to keep his boats at sea where we can hit them...

Yeah, Confu temple sounds very good. Does monastery produce culture after it's obsolete? (I should remember) If yes, confu monastery could be a decent target next, although destroying temples should nicely make rebuilding cathedrals impossible.

I'm sure you are providing it with the main report, but victory screen is hopefully a standard part of the report these days wink I wonder how much Elen and Basilisk are making cpt at the moment.

Was Sistine changed in the mod? I thought it was specialists ... but destroying the Temple makes rebuilding the Cathedral more difficult, so there you go. And yes, obsolete buildings produce culture IIRC.

Turn 264

I'm not sure what Sistine was before, but now it gives state religion buildings +5 culture...

Up north TBS could be looking to hit Browner or possibly Grenoble. With 19 Inf, 11 Marines, 15 Tanks, 4 MGs and 10 Cav I think Browner is safe. Grenoble only has 8 Inf, 4 Marines, 3 MG. But it does have 60% defences. TBS only has 16 slots on his boats so I won't worry this turn.


Our spies took out the Pagoda and Confucian Temple successfully. Next target is the Monastery, then we'll move on to Weldyn or Basilisk Caves.


Zucchini before:


After:


A view of the Palace games. We could move this turn as we're launching, but I don't think dtay can break through to hit Alfie in one go, so we're not rushing things.


Victory screen.
