• I expect to take 3 Adhoc cities next turn

yep ...


And here is an annoying thing ... no more citadels for me as I cannot build any walls


Adhoc had 10 workers a few turns ago ... now I can only see 5 ... I do hope that he isn't just deleting them ...


He also has 6 cities left and I can only see 5 ...


Ahh - there it is ...

Here is the developing situation between Adhoc and TT


I also stole optics from NSA for the loss of a spy - back to tech parity.

[Ruff_Hi]

Rats, rats and double rats ... my nasty, clean up TT unexpected plan didn't pan out. Adhoc didn't come to the party ... instead, he did his usual Adhoc move of cleaning out a city under siege:



I was hoping that Adhoc would hold that city for 1 or 2 more turns, enough for me to stage my units are red dot, TT kills the city, I charge through the remains of the city and decimate his units. Unfortunately, it was not to be. Note that Adhoc's total lack of good quality roads would have also hurt this plan - I am bringing in workers to clean this country up.

Checked my city knowledge on the other two players (NSA excluded) ...

A pretty quiet turn, took 1 city by killing an axe (99%), Adhoc moved his surviving units around (had to guess on the location of 1 of the mini-stacks). I think we are heading towards a huge battle of Winchester - I wonder if he will be able to produce winchesters by then?

Notice the red dot - looks like Adhoc lost a city at some stage.



Found a missing TT city ... I also offered a map swap with NSA - that might find me some of Peg's missing cities.



And something is brewing over between NSA and Peg - wonder if Krill handing the reins back had any impact. NSA moved their gunpowder units forward - can they see the cats and HAs?.



I also have a complete set of current graphs if anyone wants to see them (pics 506 to 513 for future reference). I know that no one can see my graphs.

[Ruff_Hi]

Just been thinking about the possible NSA / Peg situation and I thought I would share with you what I can see re Peg / Krill units ...



I missed this screenshot yesterday too - looks like TT will be razing another Adhoc city



(I also found out why my images get resized when I upload them - had the resize option checked - duh!)

[Ruff_Hi]

No much happened from my point of view this turn ...

• TT razed another Adhoc city
  
• Moved towards Adhoc's new capital
  
• Swapped maps with NSA
  
• Lost some city locations with cities swapping hands
  
• Started to look for the 1 missing TT city
  

The big news is that the soldier count took a real beating this turn ...



That is a 160k drop in the average, or 640k drop in total. NSA lost 64k, Adhoc lost 14k (assuming he is still the bottom in power), so it looks like Peg lost about 562k (assuming TT didn't lose anything ... oh, and assuming that he didn't build anything either) - wow.

Search for the Jaffa ... I think it is somewhere down in the South.

[Ruff_Hi]

oh, one more thing ... what does this picture tell you about TT's army?

[Bobchillingworth]

That someone has more collateral potential than units to take advantage of it. Also that conquistadors are going to eat him alive

[Ruff_Hi]

That someone has more collateral potential than units to take advantage of it. Also that conquistadors are going to eat him alive

True - but there is more. You also have to consider that my spy vision isn't perfect (classic example of my loss of sight after NSA took TT's city).

BTW - the red dot in the west (highlighted cats) is 10 cats strong. A fairly good initial deterrent.
Edit: oh - and TT is 2 turns away from gunpowder, so stronger units are coming.

[Ruff_Hi]

so it looks like Peg lost about 562k

Peg has had the save for 47 hrs and counting. My guess is that he holding a period of silence for his lost soldiers ... maybe 1 hour per 10k soldier points lost?

oh, one more thing ... what does this picture tell you about TT's army?

The thing that I took from that picture is TT doesn't own any units (that I can see) that require iron. Maybe he hasn't biuld his iron city. I am missing the location of one of his cities and him not having iron just adds weight to my guess of the location of the missing city.
